COST OF eRcwINe WHEAT

! Now that the government has fixed
the price of wheat, both for the 1917
and 1918 crops, the question of actual
teresting than ever. What is the aver
age cost of producing an acre Of
wheat? Is a price of approximately
81 bushel too much? Let us see. A
few years ago the cost of wheat was
figured at from $10.50 to $3.50 an
acre, with a few estimates running,
above 5or below these figures. That
costs have greatly increased since the
beginning of the European war all
must admit.
In round numbers the cost of an
acre of wheat averaging Is bushels is
now $40, with the chances for still
greater cost in 1918. T..
Here are the figures showing acre
cost of wheat in leading winter
wheat state: Man labor 1878 hours at
Is cents an hour, 1892; horse labor
for 27.S hours at 111!4 cents an hour,
1914; interest at per cent on SIS
land, $3.50; taxes, Is cents; upkeep, 80
cents; seed az bushels) at 1925,
1897; use of machinery, 80 cents; T.
pounds of Irvine at II cents, rs cents;
threshing machine hire at cents, IS
cents; coal, Is cents: marketing 80
cents; fertilizer, $500. Total, $20.24.
That these figures are conservative
appears upon the closest and most
critical study. For instance, the first
item, that of man labor, is certainly
within reason. We very much doubt
if farm labor can be had at Is cents
an hour. The same conservation an
plies throughout. whether the item be
cost of Irvine, thresbing bill, or taxes
on land Some may question the wis
dom Of figuring in fertilizer cost, as
not all farmers use commercial ferti-
lizers for wheat. This is quite true,
but all wheat takes plant food from
the soil.
"A 15-bushel crop of wheat removes,
in the grain alone, IT'S pounds of nj
trogen, 2.25 pounds of phosphorus, and
4 pounds of potassium. Buy these in
gradients in the form of commercial
fertilizer and see how much you will
have left out of 81.
So with a 15-bushel crop next year
and with price of 81 bushel, the
wheat grower may realize 1915 an
acre more than his wheat cost him,
provided he has no bad luck. On
40.acre crop this is $500. This is less
than the price of good team. Surely
it is not too much when we remember
that the wheat grower takes his
chances against hail and storm, Hes
sian fly, and winter-killing.

UNCLE SAM FOR
100000 LOAN
Commission Votes Unanimously to
Invest in Liberty Bonds from
School Funds
SECRETARY DIRECTED TO .
co AFTER DELINQUENTS

The North Dakota board of univer-
sity and public school lands, after a
few minutes deliberation Saturday
afternoon, adopted resolution direct
ing the secretary, if funds prove SUI
ficient, to invest 100000 of the perma-
nent moneys derived from the sale of
North Dakota's public lands in the
second liberty loan.
There is owing the state in the
neighborhood. of million dollars on
overdue land contracts running back
as far as 1906" said State Auditor
Kositzky, in announcing the action of
the board, of which he is member.
These delinquents are not only farm
ers, but include some corporations of
the state. The board this afternoon
adopted a resolution calling upon all
delinquents to produce. II they square
up back bills, North Dakota can easily
spare 100000 to be invested in the
second liberty loan. At the same time
it will have more money than is usual
in the fall of the year to loan farm
ers who desire aid in seeding large
acreages to wheat next spring"
If all of these overdue funds are
collected, North Dakota will have
about $1,50O,00O in it's funds Jan. /,
1918, as compared with 100000 JAM
!, 1917. After deducting from this
total the amount to be invested in
liberty loans, the state will still be in
condition to loan the farmers 100000
more than it could la st winter. These
permanent trust funds are derived
from the sale of school lands with
which the United States endowed
North Dakota when it became a state.
The principal may never be touched,
the interest only being used for the
support Of the public schools. univer-
sity and other educational institutions.
