Flax Planting Progresses In the territory north of Bismarck, 10 per cent of the flax seeding re- mains although this section is five days ahead of progress made a year ago at this time, and 10 per cent more than two years ago. Corn planting is rapidly being com- pleted in the north sector with 10 to 28 per cent remaining. Winter rye is in excellent condition with acreage 30 per cent less than a ago. The outlook for a bumper crop is better than in 1926 due to fact that the spring drought ast ar caused heading when the stand ‘was only 12 inches.

Drafting of the new contract, which has been the work of a special committee appointed at the asso- ciation’s first annual land sales con- ference late in 1928, was prompted by & desire to meet the farm real estate lepression. The contract, which many land owners have agreed to use in a spe- cial effort to speed up purchases by North Dakota tenants as well as new settlers from «ther states, is offered as a method of increasing the num- ber of owner operators. It provides for the purchase of a farm with a small payment down, the balance to be liquidated over a period of 12 to 15 years by the payment on the part of the purchaser, of the cash return on 25 per cent of the farm. In this contract the buyer and seller agree upon a four-year plan of crop rotation, which is one of the essential features of the contract.
