The outlook {for durum wheat is but greater competition is in pros pect. In North Dakota the acreage o! increased since 1924. In 1927, North Dakota had the largest acreage that this state has ever grown. ‘Durum wheat has also increased and in 1927 Flax acreage profitably to replace other spring grains grown in the same area. The prices to the world level. The acre- age of flax in North Dakota in- creased materially from 1921 to 1924 and since that time has decreased un- til 1927 there were 1,118,000 acres of flax in this state. Oats The supply of oats now on hand appears to be smaller than last year and a fairly active demand for oats wit premiums for quality seems probable during. remainder of the ‘season. Barley The situation of a record barley crop selling at relatively high prices is not likely to be repeated in 1928. The high prices received for the 1927 crop was largely the result of an in- crease of foreign demand rising from the shortage of feed ins in Eu. rope this season. It is improbable that the European supply of feed grains next year will be so small as season, Potatoes Growers in all the northeast and north central states appear to be planning substantial increases in acreages. If these intentions are carrjed out and the western growers do not decrease their acreage more than they now plan, there is little probability of returns eoptetel in toes equal-to those obtained of | last three years. nited| Sweet Clover anc Alfalfa Seed | The production of alfalfa and sweet clover seed for the past few years has been more than enough to satisfy the increased consumption.
