The out- look will be continued by the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege, however. BY REX E. WILLARD Farm Economist, North Dakota Agricultural College Industrial production in the U. S. during August was at the lowest level s0 far in this depression. Not un- - til the middle of September was there any indication of a seasonal pick-up in business activity. The “Business Week” shows 1 1-2 points increase in general business activ- ity in the middle week of Septem- ber. Freight car loadings showed 2 slight pick-up in this period. There was some increase in building con- tracts and in the volume of bitumin- ous coal production The general « level of commodity prices shows no “= change, however, from one week to ~ the next in September. Farm prices declined from an in- dex of 79 per cent of the pre-war Jevel in July to 75 per cent in August ~ and this index has continued down- * ward somewhat into September since the prices of cotton, wheat, hogs, “ corn and potatoes have dropped still farther. The effect of declining prices since 1928 is indicated in the " smount of total cash income. to ~ farmers of North Dakota. In 1928, * this amounted to about 222 million dollars; in 1929, 186 million dollars; « in_ 1930, 132 million dollars and in * 1931—estimated on the basis of this) ~ year’s production and price—63 mil- lion dollars. Durum Cut in Half ‘The durum wheat crop amounts to about 20 million bushels. Hard red spring wheat amounts to about: 91 million bushels, less than half of Jast year’s crop. The winter wheat’ * crop of the United States in 1931 * amounts to 775 million bushels, which is 160 million bushels greater) than last year and about 225 million » bushels greater than the five-year * ayerage. The hard red spring wheat of the United States will not be suf- ficient to satisfy domestic require- ~ ments and as a result hard winter wheat will be substituted for it. ‘There are, however, nearly 320 mil- lion bushels of carry-over of all « wheat in the United States so that: © little is to be expected in the way of - improvement in the general price Jével of wheat. There is some evidence of a pos- = sible improvement in the flax mar- ket. The United States crop amounts, to slightly less than 12 million bushels compared to a five-year ‘average of 21 million bushels and is less than last year’s crop by near- ly 10 million bushels. Building con- struction may be expected in the next,12 months. The amount of flax Produced in this country will not. meet domestic demands and large imports over the 65 cent tariff un- doubtedly will be made in the next nine™ months. Potato Crop Is Same The potato crop was estimated Sept, 1 to be 361 million ‘bushels, a reduction of 10 million from the August estimate but compares with 343 million bushels produced last year and a five-year average of 331 million bushels. If the general ten- dency is the same in the next six months as it has been in the past, next spring’s prices for potatoes are not likely to be higher than those of this fall. The average farm price of cattle in North Dakota Aug. 15 was $4.30 per 100 pounds. This covers all Srades and classes. There has been &@ comparatively steady decline in the teem Detoe of cattle from the middle ‘The seasonal decline in hog prices began in August and probably will continue throughout the rush of the fall marketing season. While the number of hogs marketed during August was smaller than that of the. previous month and smaller than that of the year previous, storage of pork were larger. Like- wise lard supplies in storage were larger than those of a year ago but were very much less than the five- year average. Feed Grain to Hogs There is a tendency for an increase in hog production in the United States. The present market tendency is to discount Ughtweight hogs because of} * STORIES SERVICE ‘Burke wrote, “The Ruler may build the laws in which we im- prison our souls, but the Car- penter builds the homes in which we rest our minds and bodies.” The history of civiliza- tion is a story of building—a story of added comforts and conveniences.

As between sell- ing cheap grain and putting it into hogs, even at present prices, the alternative seems to favor the feed- ing of the hogs. The amoun® of butter in storage Sept. 1 was nearly 40 million pounds less than that of a year ago and was 45 million pounds less than the five- Butterfat prices in North Dakota reached their low {point in June and quite consistentiy advanced to the middle of Septem- ber. Relatively, dairy products prices are in a better position than most other farm products. Indica- tions are that feed put into milk producing animals will bring rela- tively @ higher return than for hogs a possibly also better than for cat- tle. . Sheep and lamb supplies have been steadily increasing during the last several years, and the number on farms in the United States this year js nearly 1 1-2 million greater than in 1930. Sheep production is not likely to expand muc> farther. The purchasing power of consumers is even lower than it was a year ago which, with larger supplies, does not indicate a favorable price outlook for the immediate future. August poultry receipts were the largest on record. Contrary to the usual seasonal trend poultry prices advanced from July to August and are seven cents higher at present than July 1. Egg prices likewise ad- vanced somewhat during August but not quite as much as usual.

There are tremendous differences in quality --some things you would insist upon if you knew all of the facts. Compare Place a teaspoonful of Scuittinc Ground MUSTARD in a teacup, and a teaspoonful of any other in a second cup. Add water to form a thin paste. Stir each of them thoroughly. Then smell the aroma from both. The difference in strength and richness will be marked, especially if you let it stand for a few minutes. Here is the reason for what you have just tested. A mustard seed contains two oils. One is the flavor oil. The other is absolutely flavor- less—a “natural adulterant”. This flat oil is removed from Schilling Mustard so far as possible, so that practically nothing is left but the flavor oil. That is why Schilling’s has more flavor—why you use less. FREE.

Schilling Lemon Extract contains 3 times the amount of lemon oil required by the United States Government Pure Food Laws— 3 times as much! And more than most any other you can buy. That is why it goes further—why it imparts a richer Iemon flavor. The same is true of Schilling Orange, Almond, Vanilla, Rose, Peppermint, and many others, CELERY, SALT. Celery Salt is a blend of fine table salt and ground celery seed. Compare a bottle of Schilling’s with any other. Note its darker color. That is because it contains more Celery Seed—more flavor—three times as much as many others. Also, Schilling’s contains no celery stalk which is compara- tively flavorless. You can plainly see these stalks in other brands but never in Schilling’s. There’s all the. difference in the world in the flavor.
