D, Feb. 21— |North Dakota farmers are looking ‘Ian\md to the coming crop season | |with more optimism than for - the | | past four years, despite the death |of the AAA. | Although prospects of a ‘possible | bumper wheat crop in 1935 were ‘;xumed by withering rust through- out the State, other crops were good and, the first time for in i | |several years farmers had sufficient | feed for livestock to last them over the winter. | Last year also marked the end |of a devastating drought that for |three years seared the prairies, idried up the waterholes, and re- {sulted in dust storms. | Statistics gathered by O. M. Rob- |erts, Meteorologist for North Dakota, show that for the first time since 1928, the State en- joyed an average rainfall above normal last year. Agricultural leaders have express- ed hope of bettered conditions for farmers. Theodore Martell, State Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, says every evidence points to an improved situation this year including better prices for live- stock. - (IDNAFED MAN 'I§ RELEASED.
