PAGE TWELVE | _ WHEAT, RYE AND FLAX OUTLOOK | In 1927 North Dakota produced 14.8 per cent of: all wheat including winter and spring varicties, grown in the United States, 39.4 per cent of all rye, and 38.3 per cent of all flax. In each of these cash crops, outranked all other states. The 1928 outlook for these cash crops, as re-issued through the office o! the federal agricultural statistician, should be of particular interest to North Dakota farmers. * Wheat Present indications point to an- other large world wheat crop in} 1928 if average yields are obtained. The United States winter wheat) ucreage was increased 10 per cent,! and increases are shown for all foreign countries reporting to date. A larger acreage of spring wheat is in prospect in Canada if spring, seeding conditions are favorable. Any increase in acrenge- of hard spring wheat in the United States with average yields would probably result in reduced net returns per unit to growers as compared with 1926 or 1927, This situation may be changed materinlly if there should be an excessive abandon- ment of winter wheat acreage. While winter wheat for the coun- try as a whole went into the win- ter with a condition considerably above average, the condition of wheat in the hard winter wheat states from Nebraska south on mber ist was below averagey: and conditions since then have not heen favorable because of drought Spring wheat growers should v h weather bureau reports, as w Ss the April 1st condition repor! of the crop reporting board. If yields and abandonment in acreage throughout the United States equals the i0. year average, the area seeded would produce 630,000,000 bushels of win- ter wheat. About 356,000,000 bush- els of this would be hard red win- ter wheat which comes into direct competition with hard spring wheat. Should this production result, it ‘would represent an increase of 35,- 000,000 bushels of hard red winter wheat over the 1927 production However, since weather conditions in the hard red winter wheat states have not been favorable, this in- crease may not materialize. Hard zed spring wheat produc- tion in 1927 for the United States (this excludes all Durum) was near- dy 200,000,000 bushels of which North Dakota produced nearly 125,- 900,000 bushels. The United States harvested acreage was about 1,000,- 000 acres larger than in 1926. If this rate of increase is maintained in 1928 with even average yields, a production of close to 170,000,000 pected. This is sufficient to keep the United States on an ex- port basis, and if hard red winter wheat comes through the winter in good condition, spring wheat farm- ers should hesitate to increase their acreage, and would probably find it to their advantage to substitute flax where fJax yields well. Since wheat is being sold more and more on a quality basis, farmers should strive to grow wheat with a higher protein content by planting after legumes. Dockages and mut losses too, should be reduced as far as possible. The durum wheat outlook is quite uncertain. Good crops were grown in 1927 in the United States, North Africa, and Canada, and relatively low pric-s have resulted. Present prospect: indicate another large crop in Africa. The area of wheat seeded in Sicily is also reported to be larger than last year. Canada has been expanding the acreage of Durum for the past few years. Therefore, all indications point to even stronger competition during 1928 among Durum wheat produc- ers. If Italian producers secure average yields, there would be no increase in demand to offset in- creases in production. Rye Much of the domestic rye produc- tion is exported, but since the total production is small, it has little ef- fect on prices, and returns to grow- ers depend upon the world situa- tion. Some increase in acreage in foreign countries is expected, but the present situation may not be! materially changed unless high og are obtained in Europe. The igh average yield of 192' United States is not likely to be reported. The 1927 world crop, while larger than 1926, is consider- ably below the 1925 crop which amounted close to a billion bushels. The relatively high prices now pre- vailng for rye as compared with 1, Increased power 5. 6. lified desi 7.

Taking the 1927 United States acreage of 2,907,000 acres and multiplying it by the highest yields on record would produce a mestic requirements of the past three. years. Domestic flaxseed prices, however, are largely deter- | quirements, and growers should study developments, not only in the United States, but also in foreign countries. Shipments of Argentine and In- dian flaxseed to Europe in 1927 | were about 25 per cent larger than ‘in 1926, but conditions favoring this | increase may not continue into 1928, | Linseed meal is an important pro- duct in Europe and a shortage of | feed grains together with smaller amounts of cottonseed meal avail- able there from the United States resulted in an increased demand for flaxseed. Argentine flax prices are at present about 10c per bushel higher than one year ago, largely because of lower ocean freights, which favor a larger acreage there. As a result, per acre returns to United States farmers in 1928 are likely to be smaller than in 1927. With average yields, however, flax should still be relatively more profitable than other spring grains grown in the same area and under the same conditions. Using the average yield of wheat and the average yield of flax, the net return from flax selling at $1.90 per bushel is approximately equal to the net return from wheat sell- ing at $1.30 per bushel. Using the same yields and computing net re- turns to the producer $1.60 per bushel flax is about the same as $1.10 pes bushel wheat. On the other hand, if flax sold for $2.20 per bushel, wheat, to be as profit- ate would have to sell at about 50. Flax might well be substituted for a small acreage of spring wheat in case seeding of the latter crop is interfered with by weather or other conditions, particularly where clean land which is most suitable for flax, is available. Flax might also be substituted for oats, where oats are used as a cash crop grown for market, with the possibility of larger net returns per ac COLUS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble, You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creo- sote that is pleasant to take.

KRIER Electrical Echo Sounds Ocean Depth Cleveland, Feb. 16—()—An elec- trical echo which rebounds from the ‘bottom of the sea, now makes possible a knowledge of the exact depth of water, without use of the weighted line. A report of E. L. Jones, director of the United States geodetic sur- vey, published in the current issue of Marine Review, reveals the suc- cess of three years of tests with the new device, The instrument, known as the fathometer, makes known the exact depth of water beneath a vessel by use of a discovery that a sound made at the surface of the water will be echoed from the ocean bed. For centuries, navigators, who realized the necessity of knowing the depth of water, especially when approaching shore during fog or storm, had to be satisfied with a rough measurement secured by toss- ing a line overboard. Under the new methods, the soundings ma, be taken as often and as repidly as desired without stopping the moving vessel or slow- ing its speed. Ship masters thus will be enabled to feel their way near shore at night or through heavy storms without stopping their ships. The tests, said the article, have shown the instrument practicable in depths ranging from a few fathoms beneath a vessel's keel to at leagt 25,000 fathoms or 15,000! feet.

This means that you enjoy the benefits of new engineering developments promptly — just as soon as they have been thoroughly tested on the 1245-acre Proving Ground. It means that you can now order the new Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Buick, LaSalle, Cadillac, or GMC Truck, and receive immediate delivery. Behind this policy of continuous improvement is an organization so widespread and resourceful that it can make and sell quality automobiles more economically than any automobile manu- facturer in the world. In the north and south it logs and mills its own lumber. In the east it makes its own ball bearings and radiators. In the middle west it produces its own plate glass. Its plants are busy in 33 important American cities. From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are obtained—steel by the hundreds of thousands of tons—wire by the tens of thousands of miles— upholstery by the acre—nuts, bolts and washers by the millions. Its sales and service take place through 33,000 dealers. More than 275,000 families look directly to General Motors for their liveli- hood—almost a million and a half men, women and children in every community in the land. Meaning so much to so many, General Motors has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead. Are there methods by which General Motors cars can be better built to better serve? Are there new ideas which can increase the utility and pleasure and safety of motoring? Are there new materials which can add to owner satisfaction? Such are the questions that all General Motors engineers have always asked. The answers have made it possible, year after year, to offer an in- creasing measure of beauty in design, modern performance, riding comfort and distinct style.
