Prospect of a short crop of hard

Il large crop Of hard winter wheat

mcnt Of a 20 to 30 cent margin in
favor Of spring wheat at Minneapolis
during July. Under present cOndi-
tions it seems likely that spring

dition.
Flax Situation
The flax market has strengthened
materially. Many factors affecting
prices seem to favor advances. Among
these are light stocks, an improving
demand for oil and prospects Of 4
smaller crop than last year. The.
flax prices relative to wheat are still
favorable to wheat.
Dairy Products
Prices Of dairy products may work
slightly lower before the seasonal
advance takes effect unless the vol
umc of production declines appreci-
ably. Cold storage holdings for but
ter continue in excess of last year
and demand is slightly weaker than
a year ago.
Beef Cattle
Little change has occurred in the
beef cattle market since a month
ago. Receipts during the first six
months of the year were six per
cent greater than for the same period
in 1925. Heavy receipts Of cattle
from areas with poor pastures may
force prices to lower levels. How
ever. a good feeder demand is already
in evidence and higher prices may be
expected later.
Hogs
Continuation Of high prices fol
hogs until next spring is expected
although some drop may occur before
that time. The supply of hogs in
the United States reached its low
point in the cycle this spring. How

Can't Of Raising Wheat

The average cost Of producing
wheat this year in North Dakota Is
Sl.5l per bushel, according to pre-
li,Hinary figures worked out at the
Farm Manage mcnt department OF the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
These figures are based on AN
average yield per acre Of IL bushels
and an average total acreage cost Of
$lO.7l. This figure is, Of course,
somewhat higher than the present
market price in North Dakota for
hard spring wheat, indicating that
there viii be loss on the 1926 wheat
crop. In view of the wide publicity
tha. has been given to the drouth
damage to the wheat crop, however,
it is interesting to note that the price
received for the 1926 wheat crop of
the state will be in the ncighborhood
Of 80 per cent Of the cost Of prOduc-
ing the crop.
Many farmers will realize a profit
on their wheat crop this year, III
fact. practically all who secure a
yield Of more than bushels per
acre. The cost Of production per
bushcl. Of course, varies invcrseiy
with the yield per acre; the cost per
acre increasing directly with the
yield, but not nearly in the same
proportion.
These figures arc based OF reports
Of $50 farmers in different parts OF
the state. Where the yield averages
four bushels per acre, the acre cost
is $815 and the cost per bushcl $2.O4;
yield. eight bushels per acre,
SLIPS per acre, and $l.4l per bushel;
IL bushels per acre, $l295 per acre,
and S1.O8 per bushel, and is bushels,
Sl4.O5, and 80 cents per bushcl. From
these figures it is apparent that the
present market price for wheat will
result in profit for most Of the
farmers who produce more than eight
bushels per acre.
The cost per bushcl is considerably
! higher in 1926 than i'm 1925. The
reason for this is the reduced yield,
| the 1925 yield being Ill bushels per
acre. In fact the total acre cost IN
! 1926 is lower than in 1926. the fig
urcs being $lO.74 and $l2.4l respec-
+! lively. The reason for this differ
encc is in lower costs for man and
horse labor, binder Irvine. thrcshlng
and machinery expense, due to the
lower average yield.
| Flax and Rye

show that the cost per acre Of pro.
ducing rye in 1926 is 1888 and the cost
per bushcl Sl.23; flax, $l2.33 pei

prices compared with market price,
Of the two products indicate thai
most farmers will lose money on rye
but those who secure more thar
