production have remained relatively
constant during the past five years,
with commodities approximately at
level Of so per cent above pre-war
prices, and farm wages &C per cent
higher than rre-war prices.
With gross income and production
costs relatively unchanged the agri-
cultural situation, for the country as
a whole, measured in returns for cap
ital and labor expended, remains
about the same as one year ago. and
Is below that of 1925-1926. That az
ricultural earnings are still consid-
cred inadequate by farmers and 9TH
ers, is reflected in the decline in land
values and the movement Of farm
population to cities. The movement
to cities reached unusual proper
tions during 1895, but probably was
not as great in 1927 because Of
smaller inducements in urban indus
tries and better farm returns in
some sections.
Taking into account the various
factors of agricultural production,
foreign competition and demand and
the trend in the general commodity
price level, there seems no reason to
expect any material change in the
economic situation within tho next
few years. Progressive North Da-
kota farmers may improve their sit
uation by adopting more efficient
methods and adjusting their produc-
ton program, in line with informa-
ton contained in this report, and
specifically in accordance with rec
concentrations of the state sectional
economic conferences.
Agricultural Credit Outlook
The credit situation in agriculture,
in general, shows some improvement
over one year ago. The supply of
credit is abundant, based on ample
gold reserves. Interest rates on in
dustrial and commercial loans have
been lowered, and there is some evil
dence of a reduction in cost of agri-
cultural credit.
In the spring wheat states, inn
proved returns have made possible
some reduction in outstanding cred
it obligations of farmers, thus in
creasing the security needed for
loans this season. There will also be
an increase in the number Of farm
ers able to finance their own produce
ton programs. For the United
States the situation will be spotted,
particularly in sections which suf-
fered from flood disasters this last
year.
The farm mortgage credit situa-
ton shows. no striking change during
the past year, and none is looked for
in the near future, so far as can be
foresecn. Among the federal land
banks minor reductions in interest
rates have been made. Nine of these
banks charge 5 per cent: one, the
Spokane bank, charges 5 1-2 per
cent; Joint Stock Land banks most
commonly are charging 6 per cent.
Briefly, the credit situation for the
spring wheat section promises to
show some Improvement during 1928
over that of 1927.
Farm Labor and Farm Equip.
ment Outlook
Conditions point to a large supply
OF farm labor during 1928 if indus
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-02-16

trial employment continues at the
lower level set during 1927, as there
is "A very close relation between the
volume of industrial employment and
the supply Of farm labor. The ex-
istence Of q similar situation at the
beginning Of 1927 resulted in a
slightly lower scale Of farm wages
which continued all through the year.
The increased use Of combine har-
vcsters resulted in lower harvest
wages in 1927, and during 1928 will
probably result in a decreased de-
mand for farm labor. In case of
unusually heavy production of any
crop, there will, Of course. result an
increased demand for farm labor,
such as occurred in the western
states in 1927.
Farm machinery prices. from all
present indications. will remain at
about the 1927 level.
1t is expected that retail prices
of building material will show fur.
thcr declines during 1928 unless
there is an unexpected increase in
building activities. The wholesale
prices decreased during 1927 owing
: to smaller volume Of construction of
residences and office buildings. Re.
tail prices declined with them, but
not in the same ratio.

vandals entered the Capitol and
made away with the sections that
supposedly adorned the scape. Rec
ords show that nothing 80 pictur.
csquc really happened.
When the present dome was built
in 1867, the space under the great
cornice which surrounds the rotunda
was planned to receive marble frieze
in bas.relief showing the progress
of Freedom, civil and religious.
Shortly after, Constantine Brumidi
was selected for the work. But the
original plans were changed and he
began painted frieze on wet plas-
ter. He continued until his death in
1880, when Filippo Constaggini took
IN the work. When Constaggini
died a space Of 26 feet still was un-
decorated.
Members of congress have been
unable to agree on method OF pro-
cedure to complete the work. Five
or six members have introduced
bills and resolutions on the subject.
One group wants to finish the
decoration in the same manner as
that began by Brumidi. Another
wants to let modern artist con-
ceive his own design and &C ahead
irrespective Of the rest Of the frieze.
Still. another insists the original in
tention was for q marble frieze and
that nothing short Of thkt will sat
isfy. Artists have estimated the
cost Of the remaining work ut $40,-
600 or more.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-02-16

(Associated Press Feature Writer)
Washington, Feb. 16.--(R-Rep.
A. Piatt Andrew of Massachusetts
has introduced a resolution in the
house which probably will: throw the
committee of the library into an
other lengthy discussion and make
art critics of it's members.
The resolution provides for the
completion Of the historical frieze
in the rotunda Of the Capitol BY a
portrayal of the arrival of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, on the air
field at lie Bourget, France, at the
end Of his Atlantic hop.
Completion of the frieze has been
before the committee half dozen
times before in other congresses,
and, SO far, nothing has come Of
the lengthy discussions and investi-
cations.
The frieze begins with por-
trayal of the landing of Columbus
and comes down through history to
the scene depicting the finding Of
gold in California. This much was
completed prior to 1896. The next
are World War scenes.
Various legends have grown up
to account for the uncompleted
frieze. One is that the artists en-
gagged in the work because en-
broiled in q squabble and couldn't
agree on how it should be finished.
Another is that one artist fell to
death from his scaffold before its
completion. and still another is that
