MACARONI WHEAT
IN NORTH DAKOTA
FARMERS GOING IN FOR 1T ON A
Us LARGER SCALE.
Seven Important Counties Report In
creased Acreages Conditions in Gen

ditions just About Right.

While it is early for a comprehensive
summary as to new crop acreages in
North Dakota, lit is already evident
from the progress Of seeding, that the
farmers are goiong in heavily for maca-
roni wheat. Last y year prices for mara
ronis (durum) wheat were satisfactory
turnout, and at times the produce sold
TO almost as good advantage as spring
wheat, while yields were larger. 4 Far
mersa who have not heretofore Il tried
macaroni are turning to IT. and those
who profted lats year will SOW it again.
Judging from reports to IT he 5J4ou r.
n a, II from seven Important counties, it
is probable that when the full reports
are in. the macaroni wheat acreage of
I North Dakota will be found to be larg-
er than last year, BY Is to 20 per cent.
Following. are the reports. -:
t ty is as far advanced at last year. The
wheat acreage will be larger and there
will be more macaroni soWn. There
will be considerable less fax The acre
age Of oats and barley will be about
! the same as last year, probably a small
/ er acreage of rye. There has been
/ plenty Of rain here and the soil is in ex-
| cellent condition. which makes the out

spring is later work has not been de-
TERED by hard night frosts as it was
last season. Durum wheat is fast COM
ing into favor, and large per cent of
the wheatscrop will be- Of that variety.
Farmers who would not touch it here
tofore are now taking to it very kind
| ly. Barley is in disrepute with the far
mers, on account Of the low price. The
ground is in excellent condition.

acreage is about 10 per cent larger than
IN 1905, due. to the large. amount of
new land broken, last, year. More mac
aroni wheat than ever will be seeded
and it is estimated that 80 per cent of
will be 1nacaroni. Approximately the

rye, with more corn than. in any. two
