STATE FARMS
ISDECUSSED
Commercial Crops Largely
Marketed, Says Surratt in
Bi-monthly Review.

With commercial crops largely
marketed. there is a tendency to hold
the remainder for higher prices. ac-
cording to the bi-monthly letter on
state farm conditions by A. ]. Surratt,
agricultural statistician for North Da-
kota.
MI. 'Surratt's complete review is:
General: Nearly ideal winter.
Commercial crops largely marketed
higher prices. Much dissatisfaction
over prices OF farm products. Live
stock condition favorable.
Corn: Favorable crop a substan-
tial aid to feed situation. Mostly fed
in bundle after husking favorable
ears. About 60 per cent of crop fed
OH.
Spring wheat: Reserve on farms
moderate. Farmers inclined to hold
remainder for higher price. Decreased
durum acreage expected n probable
rye acreage.
Goats: Deficiency in southwest.
Remaining supply in state needed to
meet state feed N seed require
ments. y
Barley: Owing to low price and
moderate to poor yields the remaining
supply will be used largely for farm
feed. t.
RYE: Heavy increase in acreage
especially in most of northern coun-
ties. Fall condition favorable Spring
condition will be problematical until
late March.
Flax: Moderate crop. Partially
marketed. Farmers inclined to hold
for more favorable price.
Potatoes: Farm reserves moder-
ate. Present outlook indicates further
increase in acreage. =.
Hay: Deficient in southwest with
mild winter a big help. Supply most
favorable to surplus elsewhere.
Live stock: Condition Of live
stock above average quite generally.
Farm labor: Supply exceeds the
demand throughout the state"

What Japan
Sees Ahead
as a Menace
BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST

Many PERSONS think that China
will soon be a successful rival
of Japan in furnishing silk to the
world. The Chinese are willing
20 work for less than the Japs;
they have the personal qualities
to make them successful in the
production OF silk; they also have
a favorable climate.
The loss Of any considerable
portion Of Japan's silk exports
would be a severe blow to her
Industrial life. For many years
the japanese have bought more
abroad than they have sold. out
side OF a few war years. the bal
snce Of trade has constantly been
against them. The only factor
that has saved them has been the
large export of silk to the Unit
ed States and Europe Now. II
they we're TO lose this, II would be
a tragedy for this island king.
