Excerpt from Fourteenth Biennial Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor to the Governor of North Dakota: For the Term Ending June 30, 1916 In 1917 the poor state yield per acre was caused by drouthy conditions prevailing practically all over the state during the growing period, but more particularly in the central and western parts. It will be gathered from the foregoing summary of conditions that for the last two crops, even with the government minimum price established at per bushel at Minneapolis, the average North Dakota farmer has been producing wheat at an actual loss. To such an extent had these two successive partial crop failures depleted the financial resources. Of our farmers in the central and western parts of the state that remedial legis lative action became an actual necessity, and such action was taken at the special January session of the state legislature, to which reference is made later.
