Northern North Dakota's wheat
acreage this year is one-third lower
than last, while the average decrease
in the wheat acreage for tie entire
state is placed by reliably-informed
men at between 20 and % per cent.
Wheat seeding has been concluded.
Much wheat was sown very late, and
d asst acreage Of the grain was put
in under conditions not entirely salts
factory, including poorly prepared
soil. That the reduced wheat acre
age will result in an increase in the
flax acreage, s,whichdiminished materi-
ally during recent years, is generally
believed. Oats and barley also have
been sown in an increased acreage,
while many farmers also planted pota-
toes.
