North Dakota Leads
In Its Farm Products

Fargo Forum: For some time it has
been known that North Dakota led all
the other agricultural states in the
matter of the five principal grains for
the year 1915, but it remains for the
Nebraska state board of agriculture to
go a step further and make recapitu-
lation of all the agricultural produc-
ton including livestock.
For instance, the total value of all
products Of the farm gives North Da'
kota 1927, o73,00o, while the nearest
competitor, South Dakota, rambles
along with only $31O,691 900. Nebras-
ka is next and then comes Iowa, Kan
sas, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, In.
diana, Missouri and Texas.
In the matter of grain crops this re-
port gives 1912 for every man, woman
and child in North Dakota, Or over 81
a day for each inhabitant.
The leading crops are valued at
$191,153, 900, thus showing that with
less than half Of the plowable land un'
der cultivation the state has much to
be proud of.
The livestock statistics show up ex'
ceedingly we'll, when it is taken into
consideration that North Dakota has
only been doing extensive farming for
approximately five years. At the rate
farmers are going into diversified
farming in this state, in five years
more North Dakota will give mighty
good account Of herself in this partfc'
ular.
In the old cattle days much ado was
made over the fact that 1000 carloads
of cattle we're shipped off the rancho
