MANY FARMERS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE WILL DESERT
THE BIG STAPLE.
MAY PLANT OTHER GRAIN
The General Acreage of Land Under
Cultivation Will Exceed any Pre-
vous Year-Seed Corn
Scarce.

FargO.-There is considerable spec
ulation in this state as to the acreage
OF the different grains to be sown this
season. From all reports it is quite
probable the wheat acreage in the
northwestern part of the state will be
less than usual. One report from
reliable source in Bottineau county is
to the effect that the acreage as esti-
mated today will be 25 per cent less
than last year. and if the season does
not prove favorable it may fall short
40 per cent. The general acreage will
exceed former years but it will shift
to other grains. 1t is thought that in
the most instances there will be an
increased acreage in flax, barley and
rye, and in the northwest quarter it
is possible there will be a consider
able increase in corn, as the corn
which was quite successfully raised in
the northwest part OF the state last
year was the means of many farmers
pulling through the winter without
selling their horses and cattle at a
sacrifice, owing to the failure of other
crops. But this rule will not work in
the Red river valley where there was
great deal of corn last year; in fact,
many farmers found themselves with
superabundance Of that feed, and
many are expressing the intention of
raising less this year.
There is also one feature about the
corn question which will have a tend
ency to reduce the corn acreage in
many localities, and that is the fact
that there is a great scarcity Of good
seed, and very large percentage of
this cereal will not germinata. Be
sides this the price is almost prohibit
tive, seed corn selling as high as So
and $40 bushel. One farmer in
Burke county reports having paid 81
for single peck and he was CON
| fined to one peck, the seller refusing
to sell any more to any one party.
