The } through March | © pr offer a market for wheat more satisfactory than at pres- cnt, but large holdings may prevent prices rising to a level as high as that reached in the 1924-25 season. Present prospects are for a world wheat crop about 500,000,000 bushels | short of last year’s crop and a total | supply of 360,000.00 bushels short of last year's supply. It seems probable that the moveinent of old wheat from Argentina will soon slucken and that exports from the northern hemis- phere will increase. A slackening in marketings in the United States and Canada, together with an increase in shipments will relieve congestions at our principal markets and tend to raise cash prices of wheat. Fore- casts and estimates of production in 30 countries to date total 376,000,000 bushels less Unan last year. The out- turn of the crop in the southern hemisphere is still somewhat uncer- tain. Weathcr conditions indicate a crop of 125,000,000 bushels in Austra: lia and 215,900.000 in Argentina, a to: tal of 340,000,000 bushels in these countries, +=Based on the average yield of 9.1 bushels per acre, the production of all-spring wheat in North Dakota in} 1929 is 87,992,000 bushels or almost 55,000,000 bushels less than the 1928 crop. The average yield of durum wheat is estimated to be only 3 of a bushel more than other spring wheat. which is the smallest difference eve! reported between the yield of these classes of wheat. The quality of the durum is excellent. Flax The flaxseed crop in the United States is estimated at 16,600,000 bush- els.

Some write that they would not take $5,000 for what they learned {in a single course. Others say they ; never knew a person could learn so; ! much by correspondeace. A letter just received from one | student is typical of the hundreds of testimonials received regarding these farm courses.

The largest increases are jin the eastern and southeastern states, where the crop for the two preceding years had been small, but virtually all states show some in- crease. North Dakota, one of the leaders in turkey production, the home of an in- | | ternationally famous turkey show, has {4 crop 6 per cent larger than that of | ; 1938. ‘The young birds are somewhat | | tighter at this time of the year than | last year, owing to a late start and | to shortage of feed. According to re- | ports received by Ben U. Kienhalz. the federal agricultural statistician, about ; 50 per cent of the crop in this state | ; Will be ready for the Thanksgiving market, 37 per cent for the Christmas | market, and the remainder for late marketing. In the western states, where turkey- ; raising is becoming more of a special- ‘ized industry than in other areas, in- ‘creases were again general this year, but these increases were less marked than those of last year. Increases in this area go very largely into the com- mercial turkey supply and in the shape of carload shipments. Because | of this fact, increases in this area are apt to have a relatively greater effect on the turkey market situation than are increases in other areas. On the whole, weather conditions in 1929 were fairly favorable for turkey- raising over most of the country. The adoption of better methods of han- lauing turkeys and the commercial hatching and sale of young poults seem to be extending quite generally in most of the important turkey | states. A considerable part of the in- creased production this year can probably be ascribed to those develop- ments. CORN SHOW ENTRIES BEGIN 10 COME IN Clubs Announce What inounce What They Are Going to Send; Dinner Date Will Be November 8 | An ancient Ford car und a new Buick came to grips on the Memorial highway, half way between the Dome and the N. P. underpass at 8:45 Sat- urday night, with the result that what was left of the Ford was re- duced to junk, while $400 damage was done on the Buick. Paul Schmidt. of Huff, was driving | the Ford and George W. Janda, of Bismarck, the Buick. Janda, who was on the way to Mandan, says Schmidt | was in a sort of helpless condition and may have been drowsing at the wheel. He took him to Mandan in another car and turned him over to; the Morton county sheriff's office for the night. Janda, who was on the way to Mandan. says he saw Schmidt ap- proaching from that direction. He was on the wrong side of the road and was driving in a weaving line, according to Janda, who says he tried to avoid being hit, but the Ford just gravitated down on him as though the Buick were a magnet, and the cars were whirled about and on to the sod at the side of the road. Both crivers escaped injury in the | crash.

D., Oct. 28—Some over $18,000 worth of purebred, North Dakota raised livestock, was sold at auction here this week at the eighth annual sale of Schnell brothers. Will known all over the nation as an au- thority on these matters, said it was as successful a sale as he has ever attended. He was in the ring prac- tically all during the sale, as he has been in many in Iowa, Illinois, Wis- {consin and Minnesota. The Shorthorn bulls of Ray Schnell of Dickinson, all young stock from ‘six to eighteen months, averaged | $250, che two highest being an 18- {month old animal that sold for $375 and went to C. C. Grow of Lambert, Mont., and a six-months-old calf that brought $285 from a Hazen N. D. bidder. 1 The Hereford stock of Steve Schnell of Richardton was somewhat older and. sold higher in proportion, the highest being for $730, a two-year-old that went to Avance, South Dakota. From the standpoint of those most interested in Stark county's better- ment, the greatest success of the sale was in the fact that 20 of these fine Shorthorns and Herefords were bought by local farmers and stay in the county. This is the first time in the eight sales of blooded stock by the Schnell brothers, that any have been sold to home bidders. This is taken to indicate an awakening of great benefit to the livestock industry here.
