Fargo. n. D. What does it cost
to produce bushel Of wheat in
North Dakota?
"One dollar and forty three
cents, says Rex Willard, farm
economist Of the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College, in answering this
much discussed question, after he
and his assistants had spent a year
digesting reports from 127 scatter
ed farms in the state.
Mr.. Willard gives the following
summary Of their findings:
Complete cost accounting records
from 127 farms in North Dakota
for 1921 show range in cost Of
production Of wheat from 81 cents
to $13 18 per bushel with an av-
erage cost Of 81 .43.
".These farms are located in 81
counties Of North Dakota and are
fairly equally distributed from east
to west so that they represent the
conditions Of the entire state. These
farms are unsolicited except that
the farm operators were willing to
keep the records for calculation.
The farms range in size from q
quarter section to three sections.
The records cover total acreage on
the l27 farms Of 21,218 acres, and
the gross production on this acreage
was POI, ,519 bushels.
THE average yield per acre Of
wheat was 9.O5 bushels and the
range in yield was from one half to
25' bushels.
Farms producing wheat at low
costs per bushel had high yields per
acre, Four farms that produced
wheat at.less than 80 cents per bu-
shel made a yield Of % bushels per
acre. Ninteen' farms that produced
wheat for 81 90 or less per bushel
made an average yield Of 14.7 bu.
shel. Twenty-six farms that pro-
.duced wheat at costs ranging from
$3.50 to 500 per bushel made
yields Of 81-3 bushels per acre.
Twenty-Five farms produced wheat
at cost ranging from $500 to $5 90

In view of the daily government
market reports indicating heavy
crops Of all grains this year, expon-
ents of diversified farming are real
izina the advantage Of more light
on the dairy business
If farmers want to avoid a repi-
tition Of what happened a few years
ago when grain markets were food
ed byond profitable liquidation,
they should seriously consider the
practice of marketing their grain
and forage crop by the milk route,
Every grain farmer who has felt
the sting Of depression will welcome
the opportunity to visit the nation
al dairy exposition October Z to IA
at the twin cities, and learn how he
can rearrange his farm operations
,toinclude a few deep milking grades
or purebreds.
At the exposition this year will
be seen the, products Of dairy far
mers from practically every section
of the country where a dairy COW
can find profitable keep. The prices
received for other farm produce
will tell the amazing story of the
dairyman's prosperity. !
Dairy products men will show
how the raw product can be made
into cheese, butter, condensed and
canned milk, All these manufact-
ured products represent channels
for disposing Of large quantities of
milk without flooding the daily
milk consumption market.
It is hoped that many Sioux
county farmers will be able to at.
tend this exposition. The Pioneer

Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON. Jan. ,2S--The gov
crnment OF the United States faces the
biggest deficit in its history if the sol
der bonus bills soon to be passed by
congress are to become law.
The determination of congressional
leaders to pass the bonus is expressed in
the face of White House and treasury
department opposition 50 that only
presidential veto can save the situation.
But the painful facts which now are
coming out i'm connection with the bonus
agitation is-that the government will
proximately S30G 100000 whether there
is bonus or not. All the hue and cry
about economy has only been of avail in
preventing the deficit from becoming
larger but the truth is the congressman
up for reelection next fall will have to
choose between the number of votes eN-
pected to be gained by passing a bonus
bill and the number Of votes certain to
be lost through the protests of the large
army of taxpayers whose burdens will
prove to he rs ir6Somc rs in the years
Immediately following the war. The re-
lief from taxation which it had been CON
fidcntly hoped might come in the next
two years is vanishing into thin air.
Treasury officials make no effort TO
conceal the truth. much as the members
of congress responsible for the present
fiscal situation may be inclined to gloss
it over. So long as there were to be no
added taxes and it was still possible to
pare down expenses. the treasury held
out hope that the budgets for 1922 and
1923 might be balanced and the deficits
wiped out but with Il big bonus bill
staring the treasury in the face, Secre-
tary Mellon has come out with a state
ment of the situation which is causing
the more thoughtful members of con
grcSs much uneasiHcss.
Sure Of S.0G. OG0. $50 Deficit.
For a while-and when President
Harding recently submitted the budget to
eougreSs-there was uncertainty whether
the deficits would really materialize Mr.
Harding excused the estimated deficit by
saying that such a discrepancy is un-
