This is pi ticularly true in Canida re th is little chance to sub:t crops for wheat. It 13 ¥ the low yields and low acreage in some of th. countries this year, In Sout: Amer- | ica high prices of corn and of flax | may cause a shift away frou wheat. | Russia will probably not be rauch of | a factor in contributing to world sup- | plies this year, but she undoubtedly . will in the future. 2 per cent over last year, the most im- portant increase being in the acre- age of hard winter wheat. Unless: adverse weather conditions _ occur, ; there will be another large crop o: winter wheat. | Hard spring wheat was less in 1! than in 1928, due to drouth. If same acreage of spring wheat is this year as in 1929, and 10-year; average yields are made, there will be about 180,000,000 bushels of this class of wheat, which is considerably | above domestic requirements. An/ expansidn of acreage with average Yields or better than average yields | will undoubtedly result in lower prices, unless the protein content of hard winter wheat should be low. ‘Where land is fitted for flax, farm- ; ers may find it more profitable to substitute this, crop for some of the wheat acreage in 1930, believes Mr. ‘Willard. Durum Wheat Prices for durum wheat will prob- ably be relatively low unless acreage is further reduced or production in competing countries is cut. A large * crop in southern Italy and a large carry-over in the United States last year has supplied the demand at low prices. Foreign demand for durum has becn light. Durum consumption in the United States is somewhat, but the probabie require- ments in this country will be less than 60,000,000 bushels. Last year’s short crop amounted to about 57,000,000 There are two classes of wheat farmers in North Dakota, states Mr. ‘Willard. One class produces wheat in the general system of farming with other crops and livestock, while in the other wheat is the major crop pro- duced with large machinery units of tractor and combine at costs generally below present market prices. The tendency has been in the last few years for the diversified farmers to decrease wheat acreage and substi- tute other crops and stock. The large wheat producers on the other hand are increasing their acreage and are justified in doing so according to the profits which they are making. ‘This is particularly true in western North Dakota and Montana. Flax Farmers in North Dakota are likely to increase flax acreage a half mil- Jion acres or more in 1930, if they are controlled by the same motives as in the past. When the ratio of the price of flax to the price of wheat has been high or higher than that of the pre- vious year, they have increased acre- age; if the ratio became less they de- creased acreage. This happened 17 times out of 19 crops since 1911. An average acre of flax in North Dakota costs about $2 more than an average acre of wheat. Returns of equal amounts will be made with average yields of both crops when flax is at $2 a bushel and wheat is at $1.20 a bushel. When flax is $2.25 a bushel, the equivalent price of wheat would ‘be $1.40. ‘That flax will be relatively more profitable than wheat if we are on ‘an import basis for flax in 1930 seems certain at this time. Further expansion in flax acreage is therefore warranted, where land is free from weeds and otherwise suitable for the | FARM AW: To the living American who. has rendered most distinguished service in the country, an ahd $5000 cash to.

COUNTY AGENTS , AID 20,064 FARMERS T0 IMPROVED SEED Also Assist Growers to Market Resulting Production With Others North Dakota's 31 county extension j | agents assisted 20,064 farmers in one or more phases of pure seed and crops work in 1929, according to N. D. Gor- man, county agent leader, who has just finished summarizing the reports The proximately one-third of the farmers County agents, throught their Offices, distributed 106,309 bushels of pure seed of the cereal varieties and 351,944 pounds of high grade legume seed in 1929.. This resulted in great- ly increased acreage of pure seed and stimulated the wider use and produc- tion of alfalfa and sweet clover. In G to encouraging pure mol farmers, in the es- re ..«« Ga seed plots which re- ted in the production of 150,542 bushels of pure seed for distribution. ‘The purpose of the county agents’ activities in the exchange of pure seed is to make sure that farmers se~ cure high quality seed, to emphasize the importance of a good quality of seed free from mixture with other seed and weeds, and to demonstrate the value of pure seed,” states Mr. Gorman. In 1929 the 31 county agents helped 1,936 farmers to market 44,717 bushels | of pure seed of cereal varieties and | 274,602 pounds of sweet clover and \alfalfa seed. Assistance was given |540 farmers in the certification or | registration of their fields. County agents in nine counties | made surveys in cooperation with the | Northwest Crop Improvement asso- {ciation to determine the market loss {resulting from grain mixtures. In jone county the loss ran more than | $68,000. This phase of the marketing problem received considerable at- | tention from the agents. Another big marketing and produc- {tion problem taken up by the county | agents was wheat smut. In this work | 2,055 wheat growers were assisted in | treating 51,676 bushels of seed. | Help was given the county agents and extension people in the crusade ; against wheat smut and grain mix- | tures, and in the distribution of pure | seed, by the Northwest Crop Improve- | ment association, the Greater North Dakota association and the agricul- tural development agents of the rail- roads. i H @ if ‘Additional Sports: \@ e North Dakota Bison To Battle Mount St. Charles Next Season Fargo, N.

Another candidate, as gossip has it, will be Robert T. Gray, formerly of Almont, but lately moved to Mandan. Several other men in the county are consider- ing candidacy, it is understood, but none has yet made a definite public announcement. John Handtmann, Jr., has bé&n a deputy under his brother for the last two terms.
