1917 WHEAT CROP
OUTLOOK IN n. D.
100000 Bushel Yield, Says Expert
ment station Bulletin.

The 1919 wheat crop was short in
North Dakota THIS was true also for
the whole United States, for Canada,
India and Australia had good crops
but they are too far from the mar
kets to greatly AFFECT price while the
war leats. The surplus Of the big 1916
crop 10 exhausted. The world now IL
actually facing q serious shortage Of
the wheaton loaf that about one-third
Of mankind eats for his daily bread.
cenada's Yield in 1915 was 427.ooo.-
600 bushels; her 1915 yield was 220.-
000.0 bushels. The United States
yield dropped from over one billion
bushels to q little over six hundred
million. Argentina's yield was so small
that her government some weeks ago
imposed an embargo on further wheat
expectation. Bad weather in Europe,
lack Of fertilizers. disturbances Incl
dent to war. all combined to reduce
the wheat yield far below normal.
And now the prospects for
this years crop. India has increased
her acreage from 10000, 900 to 3d.
000.0 acres. The Argentina wheat
crop. harvested in December and jan
uary has already been described as
inadequate to home needs. owing to
the long drouth in that country. Aus

Significant yet are the conditions of

Meredith Nicholas Of the Vieil-

THE way to resume" said Horace

token the way to MAKE war is to
fight. War 10 ar exceedingly disagree
able business. Prolonged wars are dis
astrous. War mea ruin and waste,
and an intelligent nation. once launch

The sooner the United States strikes
a blow with all the punch of its tre-
mendous resources OF men and treas
ure the soone we shall see the world
at peace again.
President Wilson set forth in his
message to congress a program that
thrilled the nation and evoked the
praise of all the world that loves lib
erty and security. We have all stood
beside the president upon those
heights to which he had led us,
slowly, laboriously and with supreme
patience through two and a half years
in which we had been awed spectators
of the Old Worlds struggle. But we
can. not remain dreaming in the
noble aims and lofty aspirations ex-
pressed by President Wilson, we have
got. to leave u ideals firmly planted
"above the tide-line Of the seas Of
time and bestir ourselves in the
plains and valleys and upon the seas
to fight for them.
The way for the United States to
contribute to the quick termination of
this war is by the prompt massing
Of its forces for blows that will count.

that he looked over data compiled

price Of wheat has ruled very high
during every war period from that

In past years the price has held high
on the British market for from one
to three years after war has closed.
