NORTH DAKOTA FARM OUTLOOK
FOR 1927
BY Rex E. Willard, Farm Economist
North Dakota Agricultural College

growers should watch reports from
north Africa and Italy before seeding.
Flax Outlook
The price of flax for the 1927 crop
will probably be no higher than for
the 1926 CROP because Of the exceed
ingly large crop just harvested in
Argentina. The United States will
probably consume between 35 million
and 40 million bushels during the
coming year which is about twice
the amount that we produce. The
import duty of 40 cents per bushel
prevents the price from falling to a
point below this amount above the
world price.
The Argentina crop is placed at 60
million bushels, which is nearly as
large as last years crop. The world
crop is placed at 5 per cent less than
that OF last year but the carry-over
is considerably larger. India ex-
ported about IL million bushels in
1926.
Where flax is seeded on land that
is reasonably sure to produce
bushels or more per acre it will prob
ably be profitable. 1t would seem
unwise to plant flax on any but
clean land. and wilt-resistant seed
only should be used.
Rye Outlook
The price Of rye for the 1927 crop
should be about on present levels
unless large yields are made. The
world acreage is somewhat less than
last year. The acreage in the United
States Z is slightly larger than last
year, but is nearly the lowest that
it has been in ten years.
The crop Of rye in the United
States does not have relatively a very
big effect on the price because. of the
fact that we produce only about AZ
million bushels on the average COM
pared to world crop Of about 500
million bushels. The world crop for
1926 was 20 per cent less than that
Of 1925 and the carry-over is likely
to be small. This accounts for the
present relatively high prices.
