| WHEAT COSTING
LESS IN 1927
Considerably Below Prevail.
/ ing Market Price, Recent
Survey Shows

Cost Of producing wheat, rye, and
flax upon North Dakota farms this
year is considerably below prevailing
market prices, according to calcula-
lions made by Rex E. Willard. farm
economist at the North Dakota Aeri-
cultural college, based on estimates
Of yield and cost secured from more
than one hundred farmers in all parts
Of the state.
These figures show an average
cost of $l.O5 per bushel for produc-
ton Of hard spring wheat, 81 cents
per bushcl for Durum. Is cents for
rye and $l.7O for flax.
Estimates were secured from farm
ers during the first week in August
and yields indicated at that time
were 1913 bushels of hard spring
wheat per acre. 15.9 for Durum, 1874
for rye and 80 for flax. Since that
time there has been some change in
to be . likelihood that wheat and
flax yields will be lower than these
figures, and rye will be higher. II
this il the case, the bushel cost would
bo altered as the yield per acre is
the most important factor in dcterm-
lining these figures.
Costs Per Acre

these various crops 10 presented at

The bushel costs are considerably

erage eoYiwhest vas $1.5l. rye $l.2a
and GAx S2.28. 81
Cost Of horse labor for raising the
1897 crop was considerably higher
than q year ago due to the higher
price for oats, the prime ipal horse
feed. Prices Of labor are about the
same. Prices of seed wheat, flax and
rye we're higher this year. There

The black eye that John Proc

about two weeks ago occupied the
center of the stage today in the
trial of Moreno, Proctor, Nick
Eagles and John McCabe, charged
with the murder of Policeman Leo

Counsel for Proctor attempted to
show that the cause of Proctor
striking Moreno was because the
latter had sought revenge in giving
damaging testimony against Proc.

Moreno denied this today, saying
that he had been dominated by
Proctor and Eagles in the Destrict
Jail because he would not carry

At one time during his cross
examination, Moreno shouted out
that he was telling the truth while
he was on the stand, in regard to
McCube having nothing to do with
either the holdups preceding the
shooting or the shooting itself.
He told how he and Eagles had
