largest crop that this territory has
ever produced and liquidation in the
early part of the threshing season
was very good" is the statement Of
G. H. Lick, cashier Of the First Ma.
tional bank Of Hebron. with the
continuous drop in the price Of
wheat, farmers have quit selling
and liquidation is practically at q
standstill. Sixty per cent Of the
wheat is still held on the farm in
granaries and the farmers have alb
solutely refused to sell at present
prices. Many are holding their
grain until after election. and while
l do not believe there is any raise
in sight after the election, I am
quite. sure that a certain per cent Of
the farmers will sell their grain at
that time regardless of the price,"
Farmers experiences. this year in
North Dakota are bringing out most
strikingly the economic Importance
Of a mixed farming system. Those
who make Livestock production an
important part Of their farming bus
mess are receiving a good income,
as prices for the various classes Of
livestock products are very satisfac-
tory and compensate for the ex-
trcmely low grain prices. The farm
err who is in the exclusive small
grain production business, and who
received below average yields this
year, is completely out of luck.

account of persistent buying for

with predictions in some quarters
that radical curtailment would be
made in Canadian official wheat
crop estimates, and that important
farm relief developments soon were
likely. Besides, further excessive
rains in north Argentina were re-
