Prison

Prices for farm machinery manu-
featured az me Saltwater penitenti-
airy will be from 50 to So higher than
1920 prices. though the plant expects
to suffer a loss Of approximately
s114.o00 in selling machinery at
these prices, it was announced
yesterday at the offices of the board
Of control.
The prison Irvine will be sold at a
reduced price as compared to 1920.
however The estimated output for

About $1,000 machines will be pro-
duced. The estimated cost is $1,109,-
$780, Commissions and sales expense
will total 100000 and the estimated

The reduction in the price Of ma
terial unless unforeseen conditinos
arise, should be felt in the selling

NORTH DAKOTA CROPS
Condition Found to be the Best In
Past Nine Years.
limited Press Dispatch1

United PreSS DnSpatcn1
Fargo, June 10.-Crop conditions In
North Dakota are the best in nine
years, according to agriculturists
here. :
Reports from every section Of the
state show that there has been more
rainfall this year than In many years,
and it has been so distributed as to
give the most benefit to growing
crops, 1t was said.
North Dakota farmers will be able
to recover almost entirely from dis
asters Of the last year of general
business depression, 1t is predicted.
While many will still have big debts
and many others will barely be able
to skim through the year, a good crop
this year will save many hundreds Of
farmers from disaster. 1t was stated
on good authority.
Another good crop next year, and
North Dakota farmers will be enjoy
ing prosperity again, it was predicted
Those who weathered the last year
of price depression without sustain
ing disastrous losses, will be on a
good financial basis with returns from
this years crop. Corn and potato &C
reage has been increased this year,
and with continued favorable weather
should yield good returns.
