Directors of the Mor- ton Cgunty Farmers Press and the Mandan News have voted to consoli- date, the merger to take place in a week, The name of the consolidated paper may be changed, it is under- stood, but will be run as a supporter of the Nonpartisan league candi- dates. The Morton County Farmers Press has been operated by S, A. Young and has ‘not taken much part in polities recently. The Mandan News, :edited by Frank Wilder, has supported the Nonpartisans. “ It is understood that William Lan- ger and T. J, Krause have-acted as attorneys for the directors in the matter. Mr. Langer denied that he was a stockholder in cither paper, as ‘had been reported, but said he had acted as attorney for the Mor-| ton County Farmers Press, He de- clined to comment on the repofted merger. FEAR THIRTY * LOSE LIVES IN FOREST FIRES (Continued from Page One) of Duluth today following this morn- ing’s light shower and reports to forestry headquarters here were the most favorable received “in several days, rangers declared, 2 | Strong Northerly winds which sprang up shortly after dusk yester- day raged until early today. The flames which were whipped into a fury by the wind were given a set- back when another showed came. Today guards were taking advani- age of the damp weather to strength- en their fire lines. Forestrymen had hoped the Northwest wind would bring rain but the weather report gives no promise of rainfall for this district within the next 24 hours. SPARKS CARRIED FIVE MILES Duluth, Minn., Oct. 5.—Sparks from a forest fire carried five miles by a strong wind are believed by county school authorities to have caused a fire which completely des- troyed the French River school early today, imperiling the lives of thre2 persons. French River is 16 miles northeast from, Duluth. The_build- ing valued at $30,000 was burned to the ground. Lie. Bryan McHugh, principal of the school, Mrs. McHygh and Miss Anna Matyas, instructors residing in the rooms on the second floor, were , awakened shortly after midnight the crackling of flames. Scanti clad, they escaped down a flamz swept stairway. Mr. McHugh said the roof was a mass. of flames when the fire was discovered, ~ MAKE HEADWAY. St. Paul, Minn.f Oct, 5—Marked headway was made during the night by fire fighting crews in the North woods country, reports received at the state forester’s office here this morning showed. Nearly all the fires were held and new fire breaks were completed to, meet today’s attack of wind and flames. : ‘A, threatening fire in the vicinity of Crosby which menaced the village of Manganese was under control this morning. T he fire in the McGrath— McGregor district wes still caujing much concern, but the crews, there had confpleted a new fire break and a detachment had-veen sent farther to the rear to make another: fire break on land where it was assured the. fire could be held should it break through the first defense. Today’s weqther mndications were favorable to the rangers, _. Astrong Northwest wind was blow- ing in the Duluth district, which it was hoped will blow up a rain, ac- cording to reports. Forestry officials and military au- thorities,-are agreed that. rain is necessary, to extinguish the fires as the situatior is beyond the control of fire fighters. The fires in the North and Central part d% tie state are so numerous and extend over such a large area that it is impossible tv extinguish them by artificial means, they said. Publicity Needed To Maintain Public Library Devils Lake, Oct. 3.—It takes the almighty dollar to keep books in a liberary and to put the latest books there—and that is why library publicity is necessary—to bring the needs of the institutions before the , people. That is the substance of what Miss Inga Rynning, chief li- prarian if the Fargo public library told the North Dakota library. as- | sociation in session -here ,today. “We would all like to reply when asked for a late book, ‘Yes, we have it. We have ten copies, j§ as easy to say as ‘I’m sorry, but we haven’t that book. You see we haven't) laid away money to spend for books for a long time.” The fact that we not only do not have the money to buy all the new books we want, ‘but that we do not have the money to| buy even the most necessary things | is the reason that the subject of library publicity is such a vital one in Nogth Dakota just; now.” = The average person unless es- pecially interested in libraries thinks they are fine institutions | and necessary ones but that they do not touch’ him very flosely or par- ticularely need his’ support, the speaker said, adding: “In this, of course he is mistaken, as the library ; has something to give every citizen | and belongs to every citizen.” Miss Rynning a Missouri librari- ‘an, who began library work in| North Dakota—Charles H.

Government officials declare the Greek delegates have! not yet had an opportunity to present their views at Mudania, and efforts to confirm the above report are being made. : It is understood that the officials are considering an appeal to the United States for assistance in ob- taining a just solution to the Thracian question.

LAST TIME TONIGHT MATINEE DAILY 2:30 TONIGHT LAST SHOWINGS SECOND 9:15 aur cus ontserrs: Thomas Meighan Leatrice Joy 7 Lois Wilson \Gicere FRIDAY and SATURDAY DOROTHY DALTON “THE SIREN CALL” EABY PEGGY COMEDY SS TS ES In Her New Picture PATHE NEWS Purpose and Principles of the Organization Several years ago a few farmers apé land owners purchased a small quanitity of Kota wheat—practically the entire supply in ex- istence—and began growing it. They knew that it was highliy resistant to stem rust and that it was.a first class milling and baking wheat, for these facts had been proved in previous tests. These men realized that stem rust was the worst menace of; wheat growers, caus- ing millions of dollars of damage cvery year, therefore they reasoned that a rust re- sistant hard wheat would be a godsend to the spring wheat area. It would prevent the tremendous loss caused by rust every year, thus it would add millions to the annual in- come of wheat growers. Realizing ‘the great value of Kota to the spring wheat producing area, these Kota growers decided that Kota seed must be kept pure and free from admixtures and ‘that the supply must be increased as rapid- ly as possible to the point where every grower of hard spring wheat could be sup- plied. i That could not be done without adopting a systematic plan for increasing the supply, because if each one of the Kota growers should distribute a few bushels each year to his meighbors it would ‘fall into the hands of-men who would not keep the seed pure, also some of them would start Selling it for milling purposes. It wag then decided to Join together, form- ing an organization for the purpose of keeping Kota seed absolutely pure by grow- ing it on registered fields, and to increase the supply rapidly and distribute it through- out the spring wheat area. Thus the or- ganization of Kota Seed Wheat Growers wag formed and in 1921 it was incorporated as a cooperative, non-profit, collective mar- keting organization—an organization which will make it possible to supply the ‘entire spring wheat area with Kota seed within a few years, instead of the usual ten or fifteen years when there is no organized movement to increase the supply. That will certainly be a creditable achievement. This corporation ig nothing more than.a group of Kota wheat growers who have joined together for the purpose of accomp- Hshing the things which could not be ac- complished acting invidiually and every farmer who buys Kota seed will be urged 4o become a member, thus helping to carry ‘on the creditable work of the organization. Those who buy Kota seed are not com- pelled to join the organization—they are merely invited and urged to do so. The membership fee is only one dollar, and that fee igs waived and membership. extended free to all purchasers who buy ten bushels ‘or more. The Association registers and inspects the fields, cleans and markets the seed, then each member receives his pro rata share of the net proceeds, which is the gross selling price Jess the cost of ad- vertising, selling, cleaning and handling. The directors of the Association arc chosen from the membership and they serve without compensation, so there is no ex- cessive overhead expense to be deducted from the proceeds. All new members come into the Associa- tion on an equal hasis with the present members and share equally, on a pro rata basis, in the proceeds of all future crops. After the spring wheat area is supplied with Kota sced, which will require two or three years, it is the intention to continue the activities of the Assocation, operating as a collectiye marketing organization to dis- pose of the members’ crops through com- mercial channels. 2 President Coulter, of the N. D. Agricultur- al College, after an investigation of the pol- iciégs and principals. of the Association, stated that it could, in his opinion, render a very meritorious service to the state by keeping Kota seed pure and increasing the supply rapidly, thaking it possible to fur- nish Kota seed wheat to every grower in the state within the next two or three years Low Price on Kota Seed Being Sold Direct From Grower to Grower When a promising new variety of wheat appears on the market, the entiré available supply is usually purchased by some large jobber, who then distributes it at very high prices. Growers who have paid from $10 to s / $30, or even $50 per bushel for new wheats, from Canada and California know this to be true. Doubtless that wotld have happened with Kota wheat if the organization of Kota Seed Wheat Growers had not been con- ceived and perfected. The men who formed this organization were determined to keep the wheat in the hands of the farmers, to increase the supply, and to sell it to other farmers at a moderate price, These men have spent several years in- creasing the supply, planning back their entire crop for each succeeding year. They have kept the seed pure by planting it on land that had not been in wheat the prec ceeding year, and by using every precaution to prevent admixtures at harvesting and threshing time. When wheat prices were soaring sky- ward, th Kota ere planting back every bushel an ing no returns whatsoever ,altho oth mers were sell- vestment, y of extra work keeping the socd pure and nothing received.in return, these mcn offer the greatest wheat of the age to fellow growers at a price far helow price fer new wheat. “Moreover proved its supremacy, while many new wheats of duestionable merit have been sold at a much higher price. ’ Kota Seed Wheat Growers are asking only a fair and reasonable profit on their ‘3 of work and investment, and the farm- er who buys Kota this year, grows it in 1923 and sells his entire crop for seed at $4 or $5 per bushel, will realize a much larger profit. on his time and investment than the men are realizing who have spent several years and are selling it at the low pri 6.75 a bushel. Genuine, registered Kota seed will, and should, command a good price for seed for ‘several years just as. pure-bred registered. live stock, command ,higher prices than the grades or cross-breeds ‘There will undoubtedly be a great de- mand for Kota seed because growers will recognize its high merits and be eager to obtain a supply—not merely in North Da- kota, but also in adjoining states and Canada A Rust Resistant, High Yielding Variety That Kota is a rust resistant variety of hard red spring wheat is the endorsement given it in Bulletin No 878 of the United States Department of Agriculture and in Bulletin No. 149 of the N.
