F, Monroe, director of the extension division of the agricultural college. The nine conferences, the final of which was completed in Towner county, Match 7, were sponsored by the extension division. “Basing their decisions and recom- mendations upon sound economic in- formation compiled by the agricul- tural college, the farm people pre- pared farming programs for, thelr counties that already have been proved successful by scores of out- standing farmers. Plan Several Years Ahead “with North Dakota farmers thus analyzing their farming operations thoroughly before starting the year's program and planning ahead not only for the immediate year but for several years, the agriculture of the state is putting itself upon a business basis never before equalled here or else- where.” This is the assertion of Di-| rector Monroe. Farmers are taking determined steps to curtail surplus and overpro- Guction, the recommendations drawn up at the nine conferences reveal. In every case the delegates taking | part in the farm business meetings! advised—and are backing up their advice by making use of it themselves —that. the wheat acreagg be reduced | this year. Even counties"in, the heart | of the wheat-producing area of the} state are planning on cutting their | aereages below that planted for a nuinber of years. Rely on Flax Tariff Flax is being planned to take up| some of the extra acres made avail- eble through the growing of less! wheat, farmers believing that, with | the present protective tariff and un- cerproduction of ‘this group in the United States, it presents opportunity | for profit beyond what can reason- ably be expected from ‘wheat. But still more of the former wheat; acres are going into alfalfa, sweet) clover, corn and barley this spring,! the farmers assert. An increasing larger acreages also was evident from di: cussions taking place at the confel ences. The fermers state that they have found from experience that the greater yields of wheat on land after alfalfa and sweet clover, or a culti- vated crop Jike corn in some sections, js alone endugn to warrant the grow- ing of more of these crops. Shift to Livestock, Too However, increasing acreages of these feed crops is indicative of an- other strong shift taking place in farming in the state; production of I quality livestock ready for top- ping the market is a trend into which t arming business is working. No gt 1 recommendations were made that livestock numbers should be in- creased under present conditions, but a decided belief was prevalent that perior types of livestock plus plenty Gahagen, Chicago, also an associate director of the same department.

Marketing of both grain, livestock and livestock products is a phase of farming not being neglected by farm- crs. In all the discussions marketing ond market possibilities were subjects considered whenever county farm policies were being set up. All of the conferences were almost unanimous in their favor of cocperative market- ing associations. Local livestock ship- ping associations were strongly ap- proved, as were also local assbciations of farmers for the marketing of grain and dairy products. Compctitive Markets Best Central competitive markets in most cases were declared by the con- ference delegates to be preferred to the direct selling of products, The statement made by farmers at the conference in Washburn, in McLean county, in that “in the long run the nyerage farmer will be money ahead by shipping through local cooperatives and consigning to central competitive markets,” typifies the sentiments of farmers at the majority of confer- ences. ' ‘The federal farm board and its efforts to bring sbout the orderly marketing Of farm products was also commended. Resolutions were.drawn up at most of the conferences, calling for the cooperation of ‘all farmers in those counties with the board. Approximately a fifth of the 2,500 people present at the conferences were farm women who fomulated pol- icies for home and community better- ment. In egch county a permanent county agricultural extension commit- tee was appointed to assist the county agent in carrying out the recommen- dations made by the conference. ~ “Conferences were held in the fol- lowing counties: Stutsman, Kidder, Burleigh, McLean, Mountrail, Burke, Pierce, Benson and Towner. ———————= Dr: R.S.
