SIS. 100. 900 bushels. Should this
excellent prospect be maintained up

duction of both winter and sprtnG
wheat heretofore.
Hay and pasture outlook is very
favorable quite generally in the state.
Growth is slightly late but moisture
is ample to give all grass crops an
excellent start. Reports indicate a
slight increase in hay acreage this
season. Reserve hay on farms Is
noticeably below average over the
state, being especially short IN west
iern counties. ri
f. Planting Late.
Flowing and planting is from ten
days to two weeks later than average
and bears a sharp contrast to last
seasons early record whichswas never
before and probably will not be
equalled for several years. Amount
of blowing completed in this state is
estimated to be Al per cent, compared
to 70 per cent last year, and an aver.
age of 53.5 per cent. Amount OF
total planting completed in North Da-
kota is estimated to be 80, compared
to Is per cent last year. and an aver
age of So per cent. The past twelve
ear show three seasons where the
planting period was later than this
spring. Nineteen hundred and seven
shows 20 per cent, 1909. 33 per cent;

pleted on May 1. The wheat yields OF
these years We're 10. 11.6 and 90
bushels. respectively.
Owing to the mild winter. live
stock losses have been moderate and
are below average for both disease
and exposure. Hogs show nearer an
average loss than other classes OF
stock. due to scattered outbreaks OF
cholera, and also scattered losses OF
brood sows and young pigs in far
rowing. The latter being due usually
to hairless pigs. Owing to the short
feed crop last season the live stock in
the state. especially in the central and
western sections. are n~oticeably thin
ner than usual and for this reason the
| condition of stock for the state as a

Rye Acreage.
( North Dakota rye acreage is esti-
mated to be the same as the record

a very spectacular record in this state
owing to the tremendous increase IN

has spread out over practically the
entire state. This increase in other
counties Just about offsets the de-

counties. State acreage is estimated
to be 1.945,000 acres. compared to
2.06S,000 acres sown last fall and the
FIVE year average harvested acreage
Of 405, 900 acres. Winter killed acre
age was extremely small. The moder-
ate decrease of S per cent this season
from the planted acreage last fall is
largely due to the loss Of acreage in
low parts Of fields from flooding.
