Production Per Cow
Increases in 1927

Greater cream production per
COW was the outstanding factor in
the North Dakota dairying industry
in 1927, in the opinion of John
HUSKY, state dairy commissioner.
When feed became scarce in some
parts Of the state in the summer
and fall of 1926, HUSKY said, num-
Der Of cows were shipped out but
in each case farmers culled their
herds and sold those which were
producing least.
One result was that the general
level of breeding stock left in the
state was materially improved,
HUSKY said, and this fact should be
evidence in cream production rec
ords for succeeding years. During
the last year, HUSKY said, large
number Of high-producing cows
have been shipped into the state
and this has increased the tendency
toward more butterfat per animal.
The better bulls movement,
steadily gaining Roadway in all
parts Of the state, has operated to
increase the average quality Of
dairy herds, HUSKY said.
He expects the abundance Of feed
throughout the state as the result
of the 1927 harvest and the better
quality Of dairy herds to make 1923
banner year for cream production
in North Dakota. The abundance
Of feed should result in cows COM
ing through the winter fat and in

cial transactions, as measured by checks
drawn and cashed on member banks
of the Federal Reserve System, have
run ahead Of 1927 by somewhat more
than the normal increase. This has
been due to the enormous growth In
security transactions in recent months
and not to any proportionate increase
in industry and commerce during the
year.
Hourly and weekly earnings OF en-
ployed factory workers have shown
practically no change since last year.
Despite the fact that factory pay rolls
in the aggregate have averaged conSld-
erably lower this year than in 1927,
there has been q marked Improvement
in the last six months. Considering
that the cost of living of wage earners'
families was slightly lower in 1928 than
in the preceding year, there was prob
ably no great change in the aggregate
purchasing power of factory workers
covered by available statistics during
1928.
For the year as q whole agricultural
purchasing power was probably slightly
greater than 1927, although the pur-
chasing power of farm products In
terms of commodities bought by farm
ers has declined steadily since May.
Most important crops were more abun-
dant and combined farm prices for the
first 10 months Of 1928 averaged about
per cent higher than the year before.
In the dollar values total exports and
exports of finished manufactures, espe-
cially automobiles and other machinery
have been considerably larger in 1928
than in 1927. Imports, particularly
those of crude materials and semi-f1n-
ished manufactures, have run consider
ably behind last year, notably since the
middle of the year.

TRADE ACCEPTANCES
BECOME MORE POPULAR

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 26.-One Of
the hopeful signs in American banking
Is the increased use of trade accept
ances in business. Would 1t not be wise
to make great use of these acceptances,
supplemented by the aid of the INSTALL
ment credit corporations, to finance the
export of motor cars?
If it can be worked In the automobile
business, why is it not possible to de-
velop its use in many other directions,
and thus enable the United States to
establish substantial credit lines out
side, particularly in South America and
the Far East, which should be of tre-
mendous importance In directing the
volume of new trade toward the United
States?
Federal Reserve officials have always
looked with favor on the use Of such
credits, even If they have had to sup
port the acceptance market so far. This
should not be hard to do In the future,
for in a rather substantial way they
have been doing 1t for many years In
the past.

MUNICIPAL BONDS NEAR LOW

ground in the last seven or eight weeks
to such an extent that they are now
back virtually to where they were at
the end of the Summer A price COM
parison of 20 representative issues
shows that they are selling on yield
basis ranging from $50 to 4.35 per cent

level their current yield compares with
an average as of August 25 OF Alb per

points in basis above the highest level
of the year, that Of January.
The principal reason, perhaps. why
municipals are selling slightly out OF
line with corporate investment bonds
in so far as comparison with the peak
prices of the year Is concerned, Is that
the municipals did not recover as much
ground during the period Of recovery in
September and october as did the cor

of corporate issues was quite pronounced
between January and August Is, when
they dropped to 97.9O. or 432 points be-
