WHO WOULD NOT BE A FARMER?

WHO WOULD NOT BE A FARMER?
The government crop conditions
for August shows conditions in the
northwestern country to be gener-
ally better than for the ten years
last past. The average crops for ten
years have been good, so that this
years conditions are in favor of a
heavy crop in quantity, and the price
is better than the average for the
past ten years. The harvest in on
all through the state, and we shall
soon be getting reports Of the yields
of the first grain harvested. From
some parts of the state there are
reports Of black rust and there
may be other influences that may
reduce the harvested crop from the
predictions. Under any circumstance
es the crop is satisfactory one.
Bumper crops over large area are
unusual. There are too many con-
ditions mitigating against perfection
In a state as large as North Dakota,
there is the probability Of widely
varying climatic conditions. Where
the same crop is the staple it is
inevitable that there shall be some
not ideal. But there is a good aver
age yield all through the state and
for this there should be due thank
fulness and satisfaction.
The eastern idea of the good for
tune of the west is thus reflected
bv the New York Times:
For winter wheat this is the last
word until after the bushels are
physically counted. Its condition i'm
proved so much during July that
100000 bushels are added to the
estimate. and the promise is better
than last year at this time and far
above the 400 200, 900 line which may
be taken as a basing point. That
is doing well for crop that started
almos disastrously. Spring wheat
deteriorated somewhat in July, but
its quantity is in excess of last year,
owing both to greater acreage and
better condition. Almost a fort
night has elapsed since the date Of
the report, and the crop has so far
matured that disaster to growth is
unlikely, and a bad harvest remote
chance. The aggregate yield will al
most certainly be above 100000 900
bushels, and the third to pass the
round number.
Corn will be a bumper crop, three
billion bushels, more or less accord
ing to The method of cyphering. The
deterioration of July is normal or
nominal, and the promise of month
ago is now almost realization. The
crop has passed the tenderest stage,
in which the dreaded hot winds do
their worst. With the plant in the
maturing stage, it revels in heat
which would scorch it when it is in
the milk. Oats will exceed a billion
bushels for the first time, barring
only unlikely misfortunes. Who
would not be farmer this year?
He is the real plutocrat, and keeps
us all busy filing his pocket as we
empty his barns. If only we had

a labor of love to finance all this
new wealth. AS it is the difficulty
Of making the physical payments,
althogh the currency is redundent,
is almost the only cloud on the out
look, so far as the crops affect basic
conditions. 2:
