Agricultural Agents Say That} Yield Will Be Close To August Estimate LIGHT FROSTS o | Fargo, N. D., Aug. 31.—With threshing about half finished in the state, the average yield of wheat per acre promises to be very close to the Aug. 1 estimate of 8.2 bushels per acre, with low grades predominating, according to reports from 23 county nts received at the office of the North Dakota Extension division. In no county is a good yield of high-quality grain generally reported, Low yields and low grades are con- sistent in the eastern and central parts of the state. In western coun- ties, considerable variation is report- ed within localities regarding both yields and grades, with the average highersthan in the east. : A few light frosts were reported during the week, but none sufficient- ly heavy to damage the corn crop, und the outlook for this crop contin- | ues to be the most favorable of any in the state. few reports have/| been received of Targe prospective re- ductions in the rye acreage to be planted this fall, due to low prices and average yields for the past year's | crop which hardly paid the cost of | harvesting and threshing. Potatoes prospects range from fair to poor, with potato beetles causing considerable damage in northwestern counties and growth cracks and knob- by potatoes reducing the number of | marketablé tubers in the eastern sec- tion. Considerable sweet clover seed will be produced this fall, but a short| crop of alfalfa seed is indicated by the reports. In many localities these crops are still furmshing hay and pasture long after native pastures were exhausted. No further crop reports wilt be is- sued this season by the North Dakota Extension division, according to John W. Haw, county agent leader. “Our purpdse in issuing weekly crop re- ports has been to give the citizens | this state detailed and uncolored iformation about crop prospects in % various counties,” Mr. Haw ites, “Members of the grain tra 4 other business organizations al- dy, have developed extensive chan- s of information regarding crops their own personal use, Through crop reports, we have tried to, \ the farmer and business men of th Dakota unbiased information \rding conditions that vitally af- their welfare.

BURKE “Harvesting of wheat is about finished, and threshing is just get- ting well under way. Wheat will yield from 10 to 12 bushels; rye, eight bushels; oats, 40; and flax about ten. Ripe corn is assured, as ears are beginning to dent and pros- peets for this crop are the best. in years. Prospects are that the rye acreage will be greatly reduced tl fall due to low prices and poor yields from the 1923 crop.’—Carl Swanson, Bowbells. SOME WARD ; “Wheat threshing is general, with the "poor fields averaging from 5 to 6 bushels and the good ones from 12 to 15. A few fields of oats which have been threshed gave from 35 to 40 bushels,- Good potato fields are few and far between, and bug dam- age continues. Flint corns are glaz- ed over, and the dent varieties are nicely dented. Prospects for. this crop are excellent.”—John Husby, Minot. RENVILLE “A few farmers have started threshing rye, and report yields of| eight to ten bushels. Very little wheat has been threshed. Corn and potatoes are in good condition, and part of the corn is nearly matured. Potatoes apparently ‘have only a few tubers in each hill, however. Native pastures are thin.”—Milton Jensen, Mohall. McHENRY “Wheat is running from five to six bushels of fair quality, with early wheat best. Drouth and grasshopper damage have reduced the crop of ‘oats: and barley. Rye. is five bushels; flax is ripening and will be cut this week, Most of the weraging about | ¥' county. Alfalfa is not making a good seed crop, due to the extremely dry weather.”—M. C. Thomas, Towner. BOTTINEAU “Harvesting of wheat is about fin- ished, but most of the acreage of flax and feed crops remains to be cut. Early.reports of threshing show rye ranging from one to 20 bushels and wheat from two to 12 bushels. Corn and potatocs are in very good condition."—C, B. Aamodt, Bottineau. PIERCE “Late sown wheat is rot yielding as well as early wheat, and recent returns are disappointing. Grades vary from No. 3 to No. 1, Corn con- tinues to look good and potatoes are developing well with the exception of fields damaged by bugs. Sweet clover is being cut for sced.”—H. R. Danielson, Rugby. TOWNER “Considerable variation in wheat yields is’ shown by threshing reports from different territories, giving a range of from four to 16 bushels per acre, Kota “ wheat is consistently yielding high, with the lowest report 10 1-2 bushels, and with a good grade. Barley and oats are light, but fields of flax promise a good jd. Corn is above normal and po- tatoes below normal. Threshing has been delayed by local showers during the week.”—J. W. Lawton, Cando. CAVALIER “A few reports of wheat threshing give yields of six to ten bushels for marquis and cight to 16 bushels for durum. Local showers have inter- fered considerably with threshing. Corn was damaged slightly by frost during the week. Pastures are in good condition.”—W. L. Johns, Lang- don, PEMBINA “Threshing is in full swing, and all sorts of yields are reported with an average in the neighborhood of eight bushels per acre from the early re- ports. received. Barley and rye are giving light yields, Potatoes will make a fair crop with an indicated average of 85 bushels. Disease is very prevalent, particularly rhizoc- tonia and black leg, Pastures are fair, particularly sweet clover.”—E, G. Parizek, Cavalier. BENSON “Threshing is half finished and yields of wheat are varying from two to 17 bushels, with the average about seven bushels per acre. Corn was damaged by frost in some localities.” —Irving Courtice, Minneawaukan. RAMSEY “Threshing is well under way with the yields ranging from four to 15 bushels of poor quality wheat. The Potato crop is very spotted, due to uneven distribution of moisture. Late fields were damaged by frost August 28. Corn was also damaged in some localities. Seed crops of alfalfa and sweet clover will be only fair.”—A. M. Challey, Devils Lake. | GRAND FORKS “Threshing of. small grains is gen- eral with yields’ averaging very close to the early estimates of 7 bus. for wheat; oats, 20 to 26; and barley 16 to 20, Wheat is of very poor quali- ty weighing from 52 to 57 pounds per bushel. Potato yields will be only fair, and the number of marketable tubers will be further reduced, due to growth cracks and knobby pota- toes, which are quite prevalent, Corn continues to be the most promising crop."—-D, B. Morris, Grand Forks. FOSTER “Threshing is about half finished, and the average production for wheat will be in the neighborhood of six bushels per acre, yields reported at the present time range from three to ten bushels. A fairly good flax crop is anticipated. The corn crop will be the best in history if the frost stays off for a few more days. Potatoes are very uneven and the yield probably will not exceed 60 bushels per acre, with many second growths and growth cracks. Pastures are short, due to the dry weather.’— C. C. Lake, Carrington, WELLS “Threshing is about three-quarters finished and is being held up due to shortage of men. A number of threshérs will wait till their neigh- bors finish, so that the same crew can be used. Silo filling will begin next week.”—E, W. Vancura, Fessen- den, STUTSMAN “Yields of wheat are generally light, with only a few fields that will pay more than expenses, Early oats are reported to have yielded 25 bushels, but the farmers believe that late oats will ea better return, Barley is also light. Flax fields are very weedy, and prospects for this crop are not so good. Corn contin- ues to look good.”—R, S, Goodhue, Jamestown, KIDDER “Threshers report that yields range from three to 12 bus!

British Women Fight For Rights London, Aug. 30.—That women have been deliberately hoaxed by men lawmakers is the deepening sus picion of feminist leaders in Eng- land. So strong is the feeling that a deputgtion representing the prin- cipal organizations of women thraughout the countcy is to wait upon the Home Secretary to urge amendment of the Sex Disqualifica- tion Removal Act, In the opening sentence of the act it is laiq down that u person shall not be disqualified by sex or mar- age from the, exercise of any pub! lic function. It is now clear, say the feminists, whenever it is chal- lenged the act ‘fails to secure sex equality. Its chief effect has been to enable women to sit on juties which, rightly or wrongly, is regarded by most English people as a penalty rather than a priyilege of equal citi- zenship, Further, women have beep admitted as lawyers, but this is be- cause the legal societies have accept- ed the spirit of the act and have not chosen to challenge its letter. Apart from these points the act, according to its) women critics, has signally failed in some vital particulars. , The act does not give women equality of opportunity in the Civil Service, and it does not safeguard the position of women public ants, as exemplified in the differentiation be- tween men and women police wh'n, the plea of economy being necessary, most of the latter wery dismissed. It | does not secure women public se vants from dismissal on acecoun marriage. It does not secure admis sion for. women :to the universities on equal terms with men, and it does not permit women, otherwise quali- fied, to sit in the House of Lords.
