tance, and are taking the farmers pa.
per and supplying funds.
Farm Labor.
There is apprehension among farm
ers that it will be difficult to obtain
farm labor and there has been some
disposition to hold back on spring
planting because of this factor. The
labor situation has not been serious
SO far as spring operations are con.
cerned, and over at least 80 percent
OF the agricultural portion of the dis.
trict, there has been sufficient labor
for seeding and other spring work.
There is a probability that from the
beginning Of haying on through the
harvest, the labor demand will be-
come more pronounced, and in an.
ticipation of such condition, plans
are now being thoroughly organized
to mobilize and provide farm labor
wherever it is required. These
plans have reached a point justifying
the Federal Reserve Bank in stating
to it's member bankers that labor will
be provided, and that the farmers
need not be apprehensive on this
score.
In this important matter, close CO.
operation has been secured between
agricultural associations, bankers and
the state and Federal Governments.
A method will undoubtedly be pro.
vit:cd of mobilizing and bringing into
the Northwest, if necessary, avail
able labor from outside sections in
tho United States.

ness as usual" should not only be the
slogan, but the policy of every bust
ness man, banker and individual in
this district. The spring outlook is
as favorable as it has ever been at
this date. The volume of business in
manufacturing lines, in the wholesale
trade, in the number trade, and in
retail merchandising is good. Banks
are meeting the spring demands with
out evidences of strain, and over the
entire district condition Of unusual
activity prevails. The country as a
whole will enjoy good business dur
ing 1917.
Good Work in North Dakota.
At this date critical condition
exists as to the northwestern wheat
crop. Some delay in seeding has al
ready occurred on account of snow
and wet weather, and it is possible
that the acreage hoped for may not
be secured. Upon the other hand, the
northwest has never seen a condition.

full year from an agricultural stand
point, and every force in the north
west has solidly united behind the
farmers to provide money, seed and
help, and to secure record breaking
crops The results Of this effort are
illustrated by the condition in a sin
gle Nsrth Dakota county, where since
April 16, organized work of the bank
ers and business men has resulted in
pledges from farmers to plant 10000
additional acres of wheat that would
not otherwise have been put into the
ground.
Grain Outlook Fine.
The natural apprehension that al.
ways exists at this period should not
be allowed to create the impression
that the northwest faces short crops.
In the face Of drouth, rust and hail
last year, reports received by this
bank indicate that the North Dakota
wheat acreage will not be much less
than normal. Some increase will be
shown in Minnesota. South Dakota
will plant a good wheat crop. Thu
acreage of wheat in Montana will be
increased. The district, as a whole,
with at least a week more before
seeding is completed, promises to
show a better wheat acreage than
year ago, put in upon carefully pre-
pared ground, and under the most ia
vorable moisture conditions that the
district has seen in many years. AS
to other grain crops there will be a
large increase in the barley, acreage,
as we'll as oats and rye In North
Dakota and Montana there will be a
substantial increase in the fax acre.
age. Very large increases in corn
planting are already assured, and
should weather conditions during tho
period in which it will still be practi-
cable to seed wheat, prove at all un-
favorable, a sudden and very consid
cradle increase in the corn acreage
now in prospect, may be expected.
The apprehension as to a shortage
of good seed wheat was not well
founded. Owing to the partial failure
of the crop last year, some difficulty
has been experienced in financing
farmers at this time. The call issued
to the bankers of the district to meet
this situation resulted in an immedi.
ate and hearty response. In some
localities, where smaller banks were
having difficulty in taking care of
the farmers, the larger banks at 9th
er points have come to their assist
