where wheat was sown in March, but
on isolated tracts only and spring
work became general until the
middle Of April. Since March %
there has been no. Interruption and
the most cheerful news came from the
agricultural sections Of the state as 10
the early spring work which was ac-
complished this year. Farmers, as.
sured of q fixed price or wheat. have
greatly increased their acreage to this
crop. Barley and rye are command
ing high prices on the market today
and have a speculative value. which
is apt to bring nor than a bushel Of
wheat in the fall. yet the fixed price
makes the farmer play safety first and
not take a risk on tho speculative
va lue OF rye and barley which may be
high nov and lose their top notch
quotations in the fall.
A report from Bismarck states that
the estimated wheat acreagc for Bur-
leigh county is approximately $4,000
acres and that this acreage will be
increased fully 20 per cent. Weather
conditions in the western. part OF the
state have enabled h farmers to get
their seeding we'll under way with
seeding in full operation on every
farm in the county or else completed
as far as spring wheat seeding is con-
cerned. Up to the first of the year
fully 40 per cent Of the wheat had
been planted at Beach. The report
from that city said there was a larger
acreage of winter wheat and rye than
ever before. Great progress was
made in seeding operations in Ward
county during the past week. Valley
City and the Williston districts report
that twenty-five per cent of the wheat
seeding has been done in those sec
tons and that the spring is from three
weeks to- a month earlier than last
season. Fifty per cent of the wheat
painting in Stark county has been
Ndone to date. Grafton, in the north
eastern part OF the state, reports only
10 per cent seeding.
