The Herald News has made inquiry
as to what the effect of the reduction
in freight would have on the price of
grain. Local elevators figure there
will be a saving of about 2 cents a
bushel on grain to Minneapolis or Du-
luth. Of course this saving will be
passed along to the farmer. The re-
duction was ordered by the interstate
commerce commission to go into effect
Immediately.
The fine fall weather has been very
necessary to the North Dakota farmer
for which we are all thankful. Thresh-
ing operations were prolonged by
rain, and had the season beer a nor
NAL one, but !ittl plowing would have
been done. At present there are as
many acres under plow as in the av
eragc year, and with the ground full
of moisture it is expected that next
year will be one Of general good
crops. If foreign negotiations are
successful in opening up the export
markets, it is fair to assume that the
farmer will get better price for his
products.
More automobile licenses have been
issued in North Dakota thus far this
year than during the entire year 1920,
according to E. P. Grain, in charge of
motor vehicle registration.
There have been 1000 licenses thus
far in 1921, while the total number in
1920 was 9O,84O. The showing con-
sidered very unusual in view of the
fact that motor car sales have fallen
below 1920 in many states, is in part
explained by the increase in the num-
ber of registrations Of used cars.
There is shown decrease Of about
$500 in the number of new cars pur-
chased which, however, is compara-
lively small decrease, according to
Mr.. Grain. The total number of sales
of new cars will nearly have equalled
1920 by the end of this year, he ad-
ded.
