NORTH DAKOTA FARM OUTLOOK
FOR JUNE
BY Rex E. Willard, Farm Economist
North Dakota Agricultural College

Cattle and hogs are more numerous
than before the war. Indications
are that livestock raising is displac-
ing grain growing To some extent.
The total acreage in the ten leading
crops in Russia was 1873 million acres
in 1925, compared with 2Zl million
lion acres in 1922.
Present indications arc for a grain
crop for 1926 at least as large as
1925. Exports Of grain for the 1896
81 season should exceed somewhat
the figures for 1926.
Egg and Poultry Situation
Prices Of eggs are in more favor
able position than at this time last
year. The dressed poultry market
is firm and in a generally satisfactory
condition.
Receipts of eggs AT the principal
markets are light compared with a
year ago. Storage stocks Of eggs on
hand April were about 30 per cent
less than in April. 1925. but greater
than in either 1924 or 1928.
Dairy Situation
The dairy price situation is less
favorable at present than 1t was a
year ago. The production trend OF
dairy products during the next few
months will have vital influence
on prices. What happens in other
lines of business in the near future
will also have bearing on the price
Of dairy products.
On April cold storage holdings
of butter amounted to IL million

In figuring the Athletics q pen

of Rommel, Gray and Harriss was
given much consideration.
Yet in the first IL victories scored
by Mack's team, his trio Of star twiri-
ers turned, in only two wins.
Fatal Fault
A weakness around second base,
either upon the part Of the player
guarding that sack or the shortstop,
is fatal fault to pennant chances. :.
Every pennant-winning ball club
in the history of the game has fea-

The price level OF farm products
Is still IL per cent below the level
of nOn-agricultural commodities at
wholesale. The index Of farm prices
for April remained at lao. at which
level 1T is 7 points below the index
Of lat for April year ago. De-
creases in grain prices between March
Is and April 10 perc practically off
set by further rise in potato prices.
Wheat
Reports on the winter wheat acre
age in the northern hemisphere in
dictate an acreage about equal to
last year or slightly less, and grow
ing conditions generally favorable up
to the present time. All European
countries excepting Austria and Jugo-
Slavia report favorably on the condi-
ton Of the winter wheat crop. Condi-
tions in North Africa. however. are
reported as unsatisfactory.
Rye
The acreage planted to winter rye
in ~ foreign countries for 1926 is
96 per cent Of the 1926 acreage. The
condition of the rye crop in the Uni
ted States on May l indicates crop
of as million bushels compared with
40 million bushels last year. In
North Dakota Indications are for Il

Receipts of hogs for the whole
period from November to May l
1925-l92G have been running from q

is a considerable decrease in receipts.
Market for the better grade Of
cattle during April continued veal:

prices Of good and choice steers at
Chicago for the month were the lowest
since 1928. The market for low grade
cattle was strong, especially kinds
suitable for sausage and similar
trade. Prices on Gamers and cutter
cows and bologna bulls were the
highest since 1920.

year previous. The reduction Of
storage stocks since April ! has been
very slow indicating that the demand
has not been sufficient TO absorb
even q moderate amount Of butter
from storage in addition to current
receipts.
Wool Prices
The average farm price Of wool in
the U. s. on April Is was 1872 cents
per pound compared with 4O.8 cents
per pound a year previous. The
average price for the month OF April
for the 5-year period l9lO-i9lA was
IL cents per pound.
Lambs
Prices OF lambs (Chicago. medium
to choice. 81 pounds DOWN rose from
a low point of $l2.5O per cwt. on
April / to $500 per cwt. on April 20.
This is the highest price paid for
lambs at Chicago since February l3,
1926. development of spring lambs
has been retarded so that the move
ment to market will not be rs early
as expected.
Hog prices held fairly steady during
the month Of April. However. during
the first ten days Of May prices
moved up reaching sl4.4O per cwt. for
tops" at Chicago on May 10. This
is the high point for the year 1916
thus far.
The price change on different
weights. however, was contrary 20
the usual seasonal change. which is
to increase premiums on light weight
hogs. In April this year heavy hogs
which had been at a marked discount
below light weight hogs since Novem-
Der advanced more than did light
weights and the spread between the
different weights narrowed TO the
lowest in several months.

weight was greater. Stocks in stor-
