that support the markets. Specula-
tion there is, no doubt, and this may
have some temporary influence on
prices one way or the other. But the
upward trend Of the past few months
has been caused by the steady deple-
ton of u SURPRISES to feed combat
ants and non-combatants in Europe.
If the Allies batter open the way
through the Dardanelles, it will let
out some Russian wheat, no doubt.
Argentina's crop is also to be reck-
oned with. There are other factors
that may influence the situation one
way or the other. He who specu-
lates must take his chances on these
factors. But nothing can prevent the
farmers from receiving high prices
for what grain they have remaining,
nor should anything prevent it. The
farmer is entitled to his day.
What of the future 2 Doubtless, a
huge acreage of wheat and corr will
be planted by the time the seed is all
in. This is the natural effect of high
price levels, and is to be expected.
But what about live stock? Here
is a wonderful opportunity for sound,
profitable farming.
Eight years ago there were fifty
one million cattle in this country,
valued at almost nine hundred million
dollars. A year ago we had less than
thirty-nine million cattle, but their
value had increased to nearly a bill
lion and a quarter. Despite the
growth of population, u beef supply
goes down and it's value goes up. j..
Ogden Armour is right when he says:
There is no problem before this
Nation today more important than
the rehabilitation of the beef indus
try. The farmer must receive practi-
cal encouragement to put the beef cat
tie back on his lands and to conduct
his business in such a way that the
cattle and agricultural branches will
balance so that there will be an ample
object in the success of each.
Cattle and hogs, balanced against
the great agricultural crops-that is
the true opportunity of the sagacious
farmer.-Minneapolis Journal. i

This week Gov. L. B. Hanna signed
the bill reducing the legal rate of
interest in North Dakota from 7 to
6 per cent and contract interest from
~ to 10 per cent. Hence it will be
illegal after July list to charge more
than 10 per cent. The new law meets
with general approval. For some
years a majority of the leading banks
have charged but 10 per cent.

During the past year the Hess
Creamery Co. of Glen Ullin paid the
farmers $4,000 for milk and cream
and $31, 1000 for eggs and poultry, a
total of over $4,000. This is the
largest business for any creamery
company in North Dakota. There is
no industry that will do as much to
make a community prosperous as a
we'll conducted creamery.
