Surplus Of Pears
Expected for 1888

There are now enough bearing trees
in the Pacilc states to produce more
pears than can be marketed in an ad-
verse season, according to the 1888 OUT
look issued by the State College o.
Washington. About % per cent OF the
II 100000 pear trees in the Pacific
states had not reached bearing age
in 1880, which apparently indicates a
continuation of increase in production
during the next few years. Slightly
more than one fourth of the pear trees
in Washington were less than i've
years of age in 1881, SO per cent were
between five and 10, and only 80 per
cent were over 10 years of age.
Pear production in the United States
in 1882 was 100000 bushels, or six
per cent below the 1881 crop and IL
per cent less than the record 1880 crop
The Washington crop was II per cent
greater than the year previous while
the Pacific states crop, where two
thirds of the pears are grown, was Il
per cent below the 1881 crop.

1888 F arm Outlook
Peach Production
Is Still Increasing

The general level of 1888 peach
prices in Washington will depend on
consumer purchasing power and on an
outlet for the part of the crop for
merly exported to Canada, according
to the outlook furnished by the State
College of Washington. The large 1882
peach crop was a. per cent above the
average for the five years preceding
and % per cent greater than that OF
1881. Only four crops have been larger
since 1909. The large crop, coming in
a year when consumer purchasing
power was low and when the Canadian
market had practically disappeared be-
cause of high tariffs, caused very low
prices.
Although the general level of peach
production in Washington has not
changed materially during the last, 10
years, the number of bearing trees de-
creased between 1920 and 1880, but
non-bearing trees were four and one
half times as great. Nearly one-half
of recent paintings are Hale and nearly
40 per cent are Elberta.
Comparatively few peach trees have
been planted during recent years in
the United States as whole. The peak
of the rapidly increasing production
of Colorado is not expected to be
reached for several years. Despite re-
cent acreage reductions in California
over one-third of last years crop re-
NAMED unharvested. The number Of
bearing trees is probably still exces.

according to data compiled by the
State College of Washington. There
will be fewer hogs for slaughter IN
both United States and European I'M
porting countries during the remain
der of the present marketing year end
ing September 80, 1888. Low feed prices
in relation to the price of hogs may
cause producers to feed hogs to heavier
weights than last year and offset to
some extent the decreasing numbers
to be slaughtered. Any Improvement
in foreign or domestic demand for hog
products will depend upon Improvement
in the unemployment situation.
The 1882 spring pig crop for the
United States was smalled than the
average spring crop for the five years
1927-31. However, 1t was slightly larger
for Washington. The fall pig crop Tor
the period June / to December l, 1882,
was about four per cent larger than
the same period In 1881 for the United
States as whole, but about ~ per
cent less for the II western states ana

ington. AS a result of this Distribution
the proportion of the supply to be
moved to market between October !,
1882, and April /, 1888, was expected TO
be smaller than usual.
| The estimated number Of soWs to
farrow for the period December l, 1882
to June /, 1898, is about two per cent
greater for the United States as a
whole, nine per cent less for the II
western states and 10 per cent less
| for Washington, compared to the
same period for 1882.
Packers estimate that several million
hogs that normally would have been
killed in large packing plants were
killed in small slaughter houses ano
on farms in 1882.
Prospects for continued low Level
of industrial incomes during the first
half of 1888 and the tendency fo1
changes in demand for meat to occur
somewhat later than changes in indus
trial incomes, may result in no marked
| Improvement in domestic demand fol
pork products during the present hog
year ending September 80.

1888 Cherry Crop
May See Increase

Low cherry prices in 1882 were que
largely to low consumer purchasing
power, to very unfavorable situation
in the canning and cold pack indus
tries and to IA per cent larger crop
than in 1881 in the IL more important
cherry producing states, according 70
the 1888 outlook issued by the State
College of Washington. The stocks OF
cold pack sour cherries will apparently
be well cleaned up by the beginning
Of the 1888 packing season. II STOCKS
of canned cherries are also consumed
a somewhat more favorable situation
may be expected.

Farm Enterprises
For Financial Returns
(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)

(By County Agent E. G. Durdle)
The analysis of farm records were
returned last week to several of the
farmers keeping these records for the
purpose of study. Due to the fact that
quite few farmers are now consid-
ering farm enterprise set-up for the
coming year we felt that a brief re-
sumo Of some of the facts brought out
in the study in the county might be
Of interest, especially to new farmers
of the county, although it should also
be of value to many who have been
farming here for sometime

FARMERS URGED TO
GET ACREAGE DATA
TO AGENT BY OCT.5
Fears Applications Will Not Be
Accepted Unless Received
BY Oct. IS
Farmers Of Burleigh county a,

Farmers Of Burleigh county are
urged to fill application blanks for
acreage allotment before Oct. S by
County Agent r. H. Putnam. While
the time for filing applications with
the U. s. Department of Agriculture
has been extended until Oct. Is, Put
nam says 1t will take at least 10 days
to get the applications sorted and
checked 50 that they will be accepted
by the departments officials.
Citing the experience of the ap-
plicants for seed loans in the last two
years, Putnam fears that the 18th
Of October will be construed to be the
deadline In which applications must
be in the hands Of the department.
Several applicants for seed loans were
disappointed because their applica-
lions were not on file with the st.
Paul office on the last day set for
receiving them.

Want Game Refuge
The initial issue opens q campaign
for the designation of the Bad Lands
as q federal game refuge and traces
the history OF this interesting locality
back to the days Of early hunters.
It notss the rapid depletion Of Ass-
telope in that region and the COM
plete destruction Of the Big Plains
Grizzly or Silvertip bear, the last OF
which was shot near Oakdale in the
Killdeer mountains as late as 1897.
Another fine game animal which
has become extinct, the magazine
notes, is the Audubon sheep, closely
related to the mountain sheep but
somewhat larger, Audubon recording
the weight of one ram as 344 pounds.
The last recorded killing of one OF
these animals was in the Killdeer
mountains in 1905.
The magazine takes the position
that the area IS ideal for game
preserve and that such action would
pave the way for establishment of q
national park at a later date.

said.
Putnam believes that some farmers
are delaying making out the applica-
lions because they do not have the
evidence Of the acreage planted IN
previous years of the number OF BUSH
els produced per acre. That need not
prevent them from filling the applica-
lions ct this time, he said. What !.
wanted Is the acreage record on the
land now being farmed. The evidence
can be procured later. The most I'M
portant thing for the farmer to DO at
present, he asserted, Is to contact

will be placed at his disposal to I'LL

Watch for the DisavOwal

Watch for the DisavOwal
As this editorial is written the sales
tax apparently is badly beaten by the
North Dakota electorate.
In Bismarck an intensive campaign,
carried on at public expense by state
employees, failed to dull the good
sense of the electorate. Rarely has
anything been so overwhelmingly re-
jected.
All that remains Is for Governor
LANCER to announce that he didn't
care about 1t and really wasn't very
strong for 1t anyway. Such state
ment is as inevitable as that the sun
will rise in the east. The governor
will make 1t In an effort to save his
political face; will try to make the
people believe it, so as to take the
sting from this reputation by the
North Dakota electorate.
It Is equally clear that, when this
statement comes. it will not be be-
ueved by the people. They have been
lied to and bamboozled long enough.
Never again will majority Of North
Dakota voters believe william LANCER.
They have had enough-more than
enough. The returns from this elec-
ton prove it.
Even he must now be able to read
the handwriting on the wall. In this
case "Mene Meme Tekel Upharsin"
means that the political days of VIII
liam LANCER are numbered.

War Against Unfair Prices Being
Pushed on All Sides Consum-

Secretary Wallace Scrutinizes Prof

Longs Explanation Of That Attack
-. U. s. Pay May Rise.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Tribune Washington Correspondent)
Washington, Sept. q. - The war
against unfair prices Is being pushed
here on all fronts.
It is partly stimulated by officials
genuinely interested In the consumer,
but gains added force from the gen.
eral realization that the recovery
program won't succeed II prices out
strip purchasing power.
The sudden drive for the consumer
may seem astonishing In the light Of
past performances, but it's likley to
become surprising. There's q wide
spread disposition to look closely into
the books of industry to determine
how fair prices and profits really are.
NRA's Consumers Advisory Board
now has stronger set-up under d.
rection Of DR.. Dexter NJ. Keezer. It Is
demanding that cost and price infor-
nation be provided at code hearings
and that consumer representatives
serve on the authorities administering
codes.
