wheat sold on such basis will
bring substantial premium.
In its August crop report the fed
eral government estimated the pro-
duction Of hard wheat in North Da-
kota at slightly more than 100000
bushels or about l0.5 bushels to the
acre. Kicker contends that reports
from all parts of the state show that
the yield will not reach those fig
ures. Other reports from 1000
townships in North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Kan,
sas convince him, he said, that the
entire yield will be short and that
the only wheat available for export
will be Durum wheat, which is large
ly used in making macaroni and
similar products.
See Wheat lmp0rv
When it becomes necessary to i'm
port wheat and the tariff of AZ cents
busheI becomes effective the farm
er will reap his harvest, according
to Ricker's estimate.
The principle Of holding wheat off
the market has already taken root
in the southwest, Kicker said, and
farmers there are following that
plan. Because of the lack Of storage
and granaries in North Dakota how
ever, it will be necessary for farm
ers in this state to hold their wheat
on the farms with the exception of
that which can be cared for at Grand
Forks and in the Equity elevator at
St. Paul.

lance, which is member of the
Grain Belt Federation of Farm Or
CARNATIONS, which consists Of "a

wise the farmer to:
II. Put all the wheat and rye
that you can hold in the granary.
Sell only what you have to sell for
pressing needs. Do not haul to the
elevator and take storage ticket.
Storage wheat is shipped out. Look
at wheat storage ticket and you
will see that it calls for delivery of
your wheat at the terminal.
~. Keep all the grain you can on
the farm. Sell only what you have
to sell.

bors. Keep still in town. Don't talk

they expect to develop as soon as the
pOst-harvest marketing season is
passed. BY reducing the flood of
bread wheat from North Dakota,
Montana and adjacent states they
hope to take advantage of the wheat
tariff and boost the price upward.
Less Than Consumption
Their whole position, Kicker said,
is based on their estimate that the
this year in the United States will
ton.
Durum wheat has done we'll and
there will be plenty Of it for export,
he said, but the amount of bread
wheat will be small and should
therefore command premium if
held long enough for the situation
to adjust itself.
Figures prepared by Kicker place
the estimated yield of bread wheat
at 629, 567 900 bushels from which
sufficient reserve must be retained
by the farmer for seed next spring.
Consumption he estimates at $685.
100000 bushels.
Sorlie Cooperates
In furtherance of the plan, Gov.
Sorlie has agreed to make tests of
wheat from threshing machines
throughout the state to determine
the protein content. His idea, which
is shared by Kicker and Talbot, is
to establish, if possible, standard
millers' mix for North Dakota with
an established protein content on
which the millers can establish a
standard price. He believesi that

motor buses has caused a steady re-
duction Of passenger business since
1920, and in every month of this
year it has been less than last year.
While freight business promises to
break records in most sections this
cannot be said Of the central west
ern and northwestern parts of the
country. Because of the Panama
canal competition and other causes,
freight business Of the railways in
these territories is less than in some
former years but it is larger, and
promises to continue larger than in
1924"
"In our judgment" said Mr.. Simp-
son, general merchandising condl-
tions are excellent.
"The crop condition of the country
is excellent and the purchasing pow
er of the country, great as it is at
the moment, promises to be even
better for the rest of the year.
"Our business shows healthy gain
in volume of distribution over the
same period of year ago and we
anticipate that our distribution for
the rest Of the year will show an
even larger gain than for the period
up to date.
Retailers stocks are comparative
ly low, and while they have antici-
pated their fall requirements, to a
great extent, than in the last two
seasons, we believe that the demands
to be made upon them will compel
frequent trips to market to replenish
their stocks"
