CROP ESTIMATES
: INTERESTING

Grand Forks, Sept. 1.-North Da-
kota is always vitality interested in
crop yields. Having this in mind the
World has secured the following esti-
mates from a North Dakota %represen-
tative of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States Stationed at
Grand Forks. These estimates are
for the entire country, they are care
fully compiled and are as nearly ac-
curate as is possible at this time.
Stimulated by the abnormal demand
of the warning nations of Europe, the
wheat acreage this season in this
country increased beyond any previous
planting. 1t was approximately IL
1-2 per cent greater in winter wheat
and 10 per cent in spring wheat in
1914. The continued wet weather de-
/ layed growth, harvesting and thresh-
ing. Much damage was done to the
standing grain in the low lands. Many
fields were washed away entirely by
the floods, and subsequent damage ac-
crued in shocks because of sprouting
and too much moisture. These ac-
cumulated results have made neces-
sary a somewhat reduced estimate of
both spring and winter wheat, and
based on the reports under c%onsidera-
ton, the estimated probable yield will
be 948 SOC, 900 bushels.
In many sections, the quality has
also been lowered by the constant
rains. Shipment to market is slow
because of delayed threshing and as q
whole the movement of winter wheat
Il is from two to three weeks behind last
year.
The most remarkable development
has been the unprecedented acreage
planted in the Southern States as com
pared with any previous experience
in the South. The fifteen Southern
states will probably raise this yea
about Is per cent of the total whea
crop as compared with the previous
average of II per cent.
In northern sections, especially ii
{ Minnesota, Wisconsin, the two Dako
tas, northern Nebraska and the pen
insula of Michigan, the growth of cor
has been much retarded by continue
cool, wet weather. The outlook there

INTEREST JOKER
I'm FARMING

1t is a common mistake to consider
the difference between farm receipts
and farm expenses as profit, said &
Grand Forks banker recently: The
money tied up in the business is Cor
gotten, but it has an earning power
of S or 6 per cent. The farm business
should pay the capital the same as is
expected in any other business enter
prise. Therefore, interest Oh he
farm capital is an expense in running
the business. The following state
ment of a Grand Forks county farm
gives a fair way Of figuring farm
profits: The total receipts were 3d.
PIG, the current expenses $1,075, and
S per cent interest on the capital 81
O24. S~ubtracting the expenses ana
the interest, the labor income (Profv)
is but SLIT. This man had S2,141
available for his living but $1,724
should be credited to capital, which
leaves only SILT for the returns :or
own labor and management. He is
really living off the interest of his in
vestment. A tenant or an owner, with
his place heavily mortgaged, must
have a more profitable business. In
terest is the joker in figuring farm
profits, and it must be paid sooner OF
later.

FROST KILLS
FLAX CROP

The flax crop in Ramsey county, and
we have no doubt but what the same
condition exists in most parts of
North Dakota, will not be more than
Is per cent of a normal crop, owing
to the recent severe frosts. There
was hardly a field of flax in the county
that was ripe when the frost came,
and very few fields had began to turn
in color, and it is a sure thing that
any fields Of flax which was green at
that time will not be worth cutting.

Through attendance, since 1891, al
the national gatherings of American
Instructors for the Deaf, and conven
