COMMITTEE BY THE
N. D. COMMITTEE

price made by supply and demand.
but Mr.. Hoover's statement demoral-
lied our market, for many elevator
men will not purchase our wheat at
all on account of the great hazard by
the possibility of an arbitrary price
being too low and others who are
willing t buy insist on a margin Of
from SO to 7B cents between the price
at loading station and terminal. which,
Of course, would entail a loss of many
millions Of dollars to the farmers. In
response to the request of govern
ment and special efforts by h presi-
dent Of our agricultural college, the
farmers were induced to increase their
acreage 1900 900 acres over 1916,
thereby utilizing the land they had in
tended to summer fallow. Much Of
the flax produced in the United States
Is raised in North Dakota. Many
farmers in the western part Of, the
state planted their fax ground to
wheat on account Of the above re-
quest. The result is what fax they
did plant is a fair crop. but the wheat
in this locality is very poor and fax
September, October and November.
Consequently they are disappointed
for they planted the wheat and cult
waited their ground at a greater ex-
pense on account of the high price
of seed, feed, extra horses, machinery,
labor, board, Irvine and fthreshing,
which we believe is fair proof of their
desire to be patriotic. The wheat crop
of the United States, according to the
government report, is 6~68,000,000
bushels. About one-third Of the same
is raised in the northern spring wheat
belt. Much of the wheat in the win
ter wheat belt having been marketed
at the high price, leaves practically
only the spring wheat to be affected
by an arbitrary price so far as the
1917 crop is concerned. In view of
the fact that the United States raised
nearly double al much oats and prac-
tically five times as much corn as
wheat, and the further fact that corn,
pork, beef and practically all food
stuffs as we'll as fuel have increased
in value proportionately more than
wheat, and the further fact that a
dollars worth Of wheat has more
nutriment value than a dollars worth
of any other food product, and
further that it only takes about 3 or
3 1-2 cents per capita per day for
bread, with wheat at $500 per bushel,
it seems to our committee that you
should fix the price at least as high
as the price determined by supply and
demand the day Mr.. Hoover made his
statement. If Mr.. Hoover Is correct
in his statement that there is a short
age Of 400, 600, 900 bushels Of wheat to
furnish bread and seed for the allies,
supply and demand we believe would
make the price Of wheat $500 per
bushel before January 1. It will be
three months before corn is At to feed.
With corn at the present cash price
Of $2.28 per bushel. much wheat is

Some OF the more important boosts
which may be noted are:
Valley City gas works, 20 per cent;
electric light plants, 20 to 100 per
cent; all goods and merchandise, 30
per cent; all flour mills, so per cent:
elevators and grain warehouses, 10 to
126 9 cent; Burleigh county water
works, 20 per cent; all property not
itemized. 80 per cent; automobiles. 8
to 26 per cent; tractors and engines, 3
to 60sper cent; railways, 10 per cent.
The assessed valuation Of farm
lands in. 16 counties was raised. No
reduction in the assessed valuation or
farm lands was made in any county,
and the total for the state will re-
main about the same as In 1916. The
smallest boost was 8 per cent in Bur-
leigh county and the highest IS per
cent in Grand Forks.
Town and city lots were left as
they were returned by the county
auditors. The state auditor advises to-
day that probably two or three days
more will elapse before a detailed re-
port can be made On the equalized
value Of various classes Of property
assessed. @

sweethearts broke down and cried as
they kissed their boys a last farewell,

three Poles stumbled into the trench.
threw UP their hands and whispered
'kamerade,' They belonged to the 34th
Polish regiment, removed from the
eastern front becaused they logged it
against the Russians. They were placed
in the Bayarian army corps nd
frightfully abused. In bitter cold
weather their clothing was thin and
their shoes leaky. Word was sent back
to their comrades. that the British
would not shoot deserters coming over
a certain frontage. Next night IL Poles
climbed over and surrendered, on one
company front alone. Thereafter the
same Canadian company received IL
more. and on the rest OF he battalion
line the number was proportionate."
