tory IS likely to repeat itself with re-
gard to the present highly satisfactory
prices of wheat. we cannot say. There
is an actual and not manufactured
shortage of milling wheat in the world
and Patten has only caught ad accen-
tuated condition that would have
arisen were he entirely outside the
stock market For some months to
come. in fact, until the earliest Of the
new crop begins TO come in and line
is had on the American wheat crop
of the present season. high prices are
likely to obtain, but IL may be too much
to say that the present level win be
maintained.
There is no loss and no danger in
letting staple commodity like wheat,
flax. or other of the grains go on a.
rising market and at a fair price. The
danger rather lies in holding on until
the market breaks and we are unable
to unload before the break sweeps
away all the imaginary profits we had
piled up. The loss that comes from
selling at a bit less than the top price
with quotations on the up curve is
not felt so much as the loss that comes
from selling after the drop has be-
gun. Some one has we'll said, mo one
ever went broke selling on rising
market"
How present market quotations will
affect the acreage of the North Dakota
wheat area is a matter of present in
terest to millers. spectators, and 9TH
ers. including at the head OF the list
the farmers themselves. Again going
by the past we know that a year of
high prices is likely to alternate with
one Of low. Men are good deal like
flock of sheep where one jumps all
follow. 1t looks like easy money to
SOW wheat that is worth over dollar
a bushel and sell 1t at that figure,
to our sorrow, that spring expectations
never yet made fall prices. The chances
are that as in former years the North
Dakota farmer will seed a rather larg
er than usual acreage to wheat, and
possibly he may come out winner. The
day of low prices in not likely to re-
turn but in our Judgment there is
greater safety and profit in well or
ganized. crop rotation than there is
in speculative cropping. The man who
farms his land under some system
which gives him variety of crops,
each having a definite market, is not
only playing safe with the ups and
downs of grain prices, but is using his
land In manner that will secure for
him the best returns possible to grain
farming. II the account is made to run
over a large number of years.

A. C. Notes.

The Arbor day programme, owing
to the bad weather. was held in the
college chapel Professors Waldron
and Bolley were the speakers of the
day. Waldron spoke particularly upon
the economic aspects of tree planting,
telling us that the American uses up
the forests three times as fast as they
grow, ues ten times as much wood as
doe the European. and that each fam
lily has a timber bill, reckoning the
worth of the standing timber. of $50
annually During the twenty years
period, 1880 1900, the population of the
United States increased So per cent,
while our use of timber increased at
almost double that rate, or "a per
cent. At the same rate of consump-
ton within twenty five years the mar
ketable timber of the country will be
exhausted.
The only solution for this state of
affairs is to plant trees--plant them
yourself, for fear the other man will
not do It. The returns are very con
siderable Prof, Waldron then cited a
case with which he was acquainted. in
the northern part of this state, where
in eighteen years time timber lot
returned to its owner total net rev.
enue of $270, or SIS per acre per year,
while three to Ave dollars per acre is
reckoned good profit on wheat crop.
