NORTH DAKOTAF FARM OUTLOOK
FOR 1927
By Rex f. Willard, Farm Economist
North Dakota Agricultural College

Horses
There are enough horses on farms
to meet present requirements, but
there are not enough colts coming
on to replace these horses in five or
ten years; whether the present num-
Der will be required is doubtful
since motor power is increasing, both
on farms and in cities. There arg
about 100000 tractors on farms 81
the United States, and the number is
increasing. On the basis Of the ratio
Of colts to horses at present q re-
duction of 30 per cent or more in the
number Of horses in five years may
be looked for, but whether this num-
Der will be sufficient to meet the
needs for farming operations is
problematical. A balance will un-
dOubtedly be struck between motor
power and horse power but when that
will be no one as yet seems willing
to- say. On the basis Of the present
conditions il seems probable that
horses will decrease in number faster
than motor power will replace them
and some advances in prices may oc-
cur within short time. Some up
turn in horse prices has been noted
during the past few months.
Feed Crops
While there have been advances ire>
oats and barley during the past few
months, there is little probability Of
material further advances and next
years production will no doubt see
prices somewhat lower again. One
factor tending to reduce the demG4
for oats is the constantly decreasing.
number Of horses. When it is a
choice between oats and barley as
cash crops, barley seems likely to
be the better. The present more
favorable prices for the barley crop
is due chiefly to q marked shortage
in production last year. Under or
binary conditions sufficient Of these
crops to meet the requirements Of
each farm would seem like good bus
mess. Present prices for oats are
about the same as the pre-war level
and barley prices are even less.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-03-24
sheep and Wool

The general price trend for sheep
and wool is slightly downward, due
to the gradually increasing number
Of sheep on farms during the past
three years. Wool prices, however,
seem we'll stabilized at present levels
for some months to come. Sheep
have increased at the rate of about
3 per cent per year since 1922; they
are likewise increasing in foreign
countries. The United States i'm
ports about as much wool rs we
produce and q tariff Of 80 cents per
pound (scOured basis) Is tending to
hold domestic prices up. !.
The amount Of lambs for slaughter
next fall will undoubtedly be some
what larger than this year. This
year saw about an 8 per cent in
crease over 1925. Consumption mp
pears to be keeping up with the in
crease in production of wool or
nearly so.
Eggs and Poultry
A slight downturn in egg and poul-
try prices for this year may be look.
ed for If the indicated moderate in
crease in production occurs. No
marked change Is expected.
All lines Of the poultry business
have seen some increase during the
past year. Efficient marketing
methods among producers Of the Pa
cific northwest have greatly reduced
the handicap Of distance to market
from this area. This is true also Of
some other sections. An increase in
the number Of eggs per hen is now
the aim rather than an increase in
the total number Of layers.
Dressed poultry is generally on
the increase. While turkeys were
high during this winter 1t does not
follow necessarily that they will be
next fall. The volume Of production
is controlled by the season in many
sections so that . reasonable number
Of turkeys on many farms rather
than large increases would appear to
be good business one year with an
other.

WAR AGAINST
BAD LIGHTS
New Law Makes Binding
Lamps Illegal May
have One Spotlight

Provisions of Washington's new
motor code affecting headlights
become effective on January L.
1928 and the Automobile club of
Washington has been asked to CO.
operate with state officials to in
form the driving public regarding
the new regulations. Already the
state has begun to license official
adjusting stations and this work
will be completed within the next
few weeks, the club has been ad-
vised.
Direct warfare will be waged
against motorists who display
binding lights, who have misplace
ed spotlights on their cars or who
use light globes in excess of the
candlepower allowed, the Automo-
bile club warns. Following are
some of the important light pro-
visions:
Every car shall be equipped
with two headlights, attached so
that the centers thereof shall not
be more than so inches above the
level surface upon which the We
hicle stands.
A car may be equipped with two
sidelights but no more or less.
Only one spotlight may be plac-
ed, secured or used upon any car
at one time. 1t shall not be less
than "a inches or more than 60
| inches above the level surface up
on which the vehicle stands, except
for trucks, where spotlight may
be 72 inches above such level sur
face. They shall be directed down.
ward and to the right.
One 'fog light" is also permiss-
able, a "fog light" being a light
attached to the car no higher than
SO inches and no lower than IL
| inches above the level surface up
on which the vehicle stands and
must be stationary and not subject
to control from drivers seat.
The maximum for any lamp bulb
shall be 80 candle power. The law
also provides for establishment OF
a commission on equipment which
shall pass upon and regulate all
equipment used on motor cars, the
4 Automobile Club points out. Manu-
facturers and dealers must sub
NIT samples of their products te
this commission before they be-
come legal in Washington.

TURKEY DAY
GAME is TIE
Pasco Player Makes Spec.
tacular Run Length of
Field for Score

Seems like a long time since the
football battle between Kennewick
and Pasco Thanksgiving day when
the score was tied at six-six. The
general opinion of the game held by
the local fans was that the score
should have been about 1S to no.
thing, and that the exhibition by
the Kennewick players was the
poorest that has been displayed on
the home grounds.
However, there is one youngster
who will remember this particular
game as long as he lives. He was
a substitute back who, shortly af-
ter he was put in, intercepted a
lateral pass and trotted almost the
length of the field for the Pasco
touchdown. The ball was on the
three yard line in possession Of
the Kennewick team. Grabbing the
pass, he started on spectacular
run the full length of the field
while the Pasco rooters went wild
with enthusiasm.
From a score kept on the game,
as poor as the Kennewick show
ing was, it appears that they had
the best of it. Kennewick complet-
ed 13 first downs, Pasco q; with a
total yardage of 203 to Pasco's 80.
Our of Is passes attempted, Ken
newick got away with but two;
Pasco tried three, completing one.
Kennewick intercepted two passes,
netting them nine yards; Pasco
three, with total yardage of 107.
Pasco punted fourteen times, with
gain of 375 yards; Kennewick
got 345 yards on eleven punts.
Kennewick lost 55 yards on pen
alties and Pasco 62.
