ment report shows, depending &c. some
extent upon who interprets the figures
showing the condition. By taking the.
reports of condition during the growing
season and the final report on acreage
yield for number of years past it is
possible to forecast the probable yield
as shown by the government report: M
For example, the average condition
of wheat in North Dakota at the time.
of harvest (Sept. ~, for ten years is
10. The average yield for the same
period is 1887 bushels. If a condition,
of 76 would produce an average yield ct
1887 bushels, an average condition OF
100 would show yield of 1898 BUSH
els. Figured on this basis the average
yield for the present year estimated. on,
the government report would be 1923
divided by 100 and the result multiplied
by SO. the condition existing at time Of
harvest.
The reader has probably been won
dering what the above has to do with
the ~ Crop Prospects in North Dakota, =
but the writer believes that ascrop estl-
mate, without statement as to how
the conclusions are arrived at. and upon
what authority such an estimate is
based, is of no Importance whatever.
The government report on the acre
age of the different crops was issued IN
June and July, but owing, to adverse
conditions in few localities, an allow
ance should be made for the acreage
not harvested. e,.
Figured en- the plan outlined above,
and making an allowance of 5 per cent
of the acreage. of each crop rs not
harvested, which in some cases Is too
liberal, the following table is constrrc-
ted which in the opinion OF the writer,
is very conservative: -+ ~ 80

river slope, with Bismarck as a natural
center, there is every reason to believe
that the influx of landseekers during
the balance of the fall and early next
spring, will be the equal, if not over
shadow, any other section of the agri-
cultural west. It has been so thoroly
demonstrated the past few years that
this country is not an arid belt, but
that it is wonderful crop producer,
that there is no longer any skepticism
or hesitancy on the part of the eastern
farmer about coming to this section
of the state of North Dakota. Three
years ago a stranger coming to the
city Of Bismarck would have gotten
the impression, from talking with land
interests in the state, that there never
would be an immigration movement to
the Missouri river slope country. They
were all blue and discouraged. Today
e the conditions are all changed and they
see the results of their efforts being
crowned with success, and there is
every. reason to believe that another
year will see the titles of many quarter
sections and half sections pass from
those who have owned them in large
tracts. to the Individual farmer, who
will devote his time and attention to
their improvement and the cultivation
of crops. w. A. Otis.

To those who are inclined to think
this estimate is too high, the writer
would call attention to the rapid in
crease in the acreage Of all crops in
the western part Of the state due to the
large immi grafton movement in that
section the past few years. .... f..
A few people will probably say the
estimate is too low. To such the writer
would say the state has the best all
around crop ever grown as here shown,
and he does not believe in making a
boom report that will take considerable
explaining later on. The average
yields are conservative, and the. same
can be said of the estimates on acre
age. >,s
The estimates of yields are based on
the government report Of condition
published on the 18th inst.
North Dakota has the largest total
crop ever grown in the history of the
state, but In number of instances the
average yield per acre has been con;
siderably greater than will be threshed

new building and at the same time file q hid
covering the building proposed to be erected the
hgures to be within the sum fixed by the legis-
lature as the probable receipts from the land.
This contemplates the Of the present north
wing OF the capitol, completed last year. The
rest OF the building will be either demolished
Or renlodeled, as the board decides when it re-
celves plans. Several New York and other con:
tractors have requested further time to file
bids. < ~
The objections raised by contractors in this
state were based upon the supposition that the
present advertisement of the commission offered
greater advantages to Minneapolis and ST. Paul
contractors than to firms In this state because
of their greater equipment and resources The
mebers of the capitol commission have issued
a statement to the public outlining their posi-
ton and replying to criticisms that have been
made They say they desire to erect a building
suitable for the capitol and keep within the sum
fixed by the legislature. To do this they re-
quire the contractor to furnish his plan and
figures at the same time and be ready to give
a bond that the work will be done at the figure
stated. This will keep the expenditures within
limits and will prevent the exceeding Of archi-
tect's estimates by contractors. t.h
It is likely the people of the state will In
dorse the stand of the capitol commission, which
is that the question of getting good capitol
for the funds in hand is more Important than
whether the work is done by contractors within
the state or in Minneapolis and st. Paul. The
board has desire to discriminate in favor Of
against any set Of contracto tors and is salts
fed its course will be approved In the end. ~
