Wheat Value Most In Last SHERIDAN MAY VOTE FOR COUNTY AGENT ON AUTUMN BALLOT Committes: Begins Circulating Petitions to Put Question to Voters McClusky, N. D., July 17.—Plans for bringing the county agent issue before the voters of Sheridan county at the November election were dis- cussed at a meeting of farmers, home- makers’ and 4-H Club leaders here Tuesday. The meeting was called by the county soil conservation commit- tee. John Bruns, Jr. was chosen as chairman of a committee to take charge of preliminary arrangements and circulating of petitions for plac- ing the question on the general elec- tion ballot. Other members of the committee are H. F. Pankow, aA. P. Peterson, Peter Haibeck, Thomas Brakel and Mrs. Ed. Jenner. A com- mittee of three members will be select- ed in each township to circulate the petitions. Bruns, chairman of the soil conser- vation committee opened the meeting at which E. M. Gregory, district sup- ervisor for the extension department of the N.D.A.C., explained the reason ‘and the estimated cost to the county. ‘The amount paid by the county must be sufficient to provide expenses for the agent and provide for office space. ‘The total appropriation from the county is approximately $2,400 which is raised in the form of a general levy ; i i < ii t fF il it R E ‘ : : it ist i E H 3 E ry id f Pil i E li if i Six Years: Current Market Worth Means Millions for Farmers Who Have Grain July 17.—()—Here’s a bright spot in the 1936 drouth pic- ture for wheat farmers—at least some of them—the depleted United States zon has a current market value higher than that of any crop in six years, ‘extimated in Excess of $863,000,000. Barring further serious spring wheat destruction, present owners should re- ceive almost $120,000,000 more for efforts in wheat fields this year than they did in 1936, notwithstanding the losses that already have occurred. The return should be more than double that of the lowest income year on recent records—1932. It’s mostly a matter of higher prices. Grain market statisticians Friday figured out the value of the indicated 1936 wheat crop, exclusive of durum, based on Chicago prices thus: far in the crop year. That farmers in the winter wheat belt in the southwest will benefit at the expense of those in the spring wheat belt in the northwest was brought out clearly. Mounting prices have gone hand in hand with the destruction of spring wheat by heat and drouth, but winter wheat production, most of the crop growth having been completed by July 1, is estimated above 500,000,000 bush- els for the first time since 1931. Many traders believe spring wheat production may be even smaller than that in the drouth year 1934, when the crop totaled only 84,291,000 bushels.
