wheat at S569Oc; No. at 75dS2c and
off grades in proportion.
Wheat seeding is practically completed
as far north az Grand Forks, probably %
per cent remains to be seeded in the Red
River valley proper and 10 per cent nortn
of the Northern Pacific line In North Da-
kota. Taken as a whole, the soil con-
ditions of the states have been better
this year than at any time within ten
years, and, as the amount of plowing done
last fall was unusually large and the
price of wheat high there has been every
reason for large acreage of spring
wheat All the information which We have
been able to gather leads us to believe
that there will be about the same acre
age in South Dakota as last year, pos
Slbly small increase. Minnesota ana
North Dakota will apparently increase the
acreage about 10 per cent
We have investigated carefully the con-
dition of the fields sown with rusted light
weight wheat and compared the plant and
roots with those In fields where good seed
was used. At present there is a slight
difference in favor of the plant grown from
the heavy seed. The latter seems to have
have been exceedingly favorable, and we
think it within the range of possibilities
that the light weight seed will bring
forth a good plant
