Farm Products
Have Touched Low Mark
'^iKargo, N. D., Sept Prices of
products which have debreaoed
far'brtow that nmde by all other.com
smodities have probably, reached their
'(f5vea
it level now, and as other* cora
ihodhies gradually decrease to
normal prices, the. buying poweT of

cordingly, states Rex H3. Wlllard,
agricultural economist at the agri-
coU«e'

and are .therefore considered the safe turned from Washington, D. C., where

"The fact is also realised that busi

We are hamplered, 'however, to some
extent, by our noisy and nasty poli

the state will have a greater influx of
new Settlers than it has had in' any
similar period of time, and the new
oomers will b? real farmers and real
business men, not, the speculative or
bombastic sort."
he testified at the congressional hear
ing- on freight rates, has been en
gaged in a. careful study of prices and.
costs since 1913, and is now directing
the work of studying costs' of -produc
tion of farm products in North Da

"Farmers in' the state who had
wheat crops of IB bushels or more to
the acre will pay expenses and make
a little profit this year," said Mr.
Willard. "Average yields, however,
are about 9 1-3 bushels and since the
average, cost of production is about
$17 an acre this -year, few ,wheat
growers are actually making a profit."
