LATE CROPS BENEFITTED BY WEATHER Conditions Satisfactory For Development and Har- vesting in Last 2 Weeks Satisfactory development of late crops and an average progress of farm work in North Dakota were per- mitted by weather conditions during the last half of August although a light frost damage to corn was sus- tained in northwestern and south- eastern localities and some delay to threshing resulted from the general showers on the 25th and 27th, says the semi-monthly summary of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for North Dakota, issued today at Grand Forks. Threshing which at the close of the month ranged from near com- pletion in the eastern counties to »|the starting stage in the northwest- ern section, has proceded with much less than usual labor difficulties. Re- turns are confirming earlier expec- tations of reduced yields and grades of spring wheat, which while show- ing lighter weight and heavier dock- age content, has a generally higher gluton content than last year. Oats and barley out-turns on the other hand appear to be running somewhat better than was expected. Very little flax has been threshed but the bulk of the early crop has been harvested and the late crop is maturing rapid- ly with but a small proportion in danger of frost damage. The gener- al outlook of the corn-for-grain crop is that it will mature in all sections except possibly some northwestern localities, where many late fields are now being cut for forage. Corn cut- ting for silage has begun in central and southern localities. Some im- provement in the late potato crop is noted as a result of the showers and moderate temperatures during August but much of the earlier dam- age was permanent. The prospect is rated as “fair” in the important eastern areas where some fields that have been dug have shown moderate yields and a somewhat poor quality. Digging is expected to be general in another two weeks. Second cuttings of hay have given fair to good out- turns, and except in some. central and south central localities supplies are expected to be ample for winter needs. Pastures during August made ® general improvement as a result of the showers which also enabled some early plowing to be started. The general condition of livestock Sppears good. Pastures have made some general improvement and con- dition of livestock is considered fattory barring a local outbreak of Cholera in the central Red Riv- ‘ ler. ee seeding of win- er grain has nm reported l- though August weather has eb in generally dit eit pre ace condition for earl: SEES RIVALR OF NATIONS Need to Prevent Economic Disputes Settle Differences Between U. S. and Canada — Montreal, Sept. ressing eco- nomic rivalries of nations, like arma- ments, will be kept within on- able limits by fair international agreements “at no distant day,” Sec- retary Hughes declared last night in an address before the Oanadian Bar ion on “The Pathway of The American Secretary of State asserted that “that things are pos- sible if nations are willing to be just to each other” and, in.a personal word to his Canadian audience, sug- gested the creation of a “permanent body of our most distinguished citi- zens” to act as a commission for the United States and Canada. In discussing the subject of inter- nationa] relations in a broad way, Mr. Hughes said it was desirable that nations should more definitely establish the law “tv quicken the sense of the obligation of states tn- der the law.” He assailed “dem- agogues” and “pseudopatriots” who he said sometimes made it difficult for democratic governments to se- cure legislative approval for the mu- tual concessions necessary for set- tlement of important international questions, and he declared \it was mpossible to carry “open diplomacy” to the point of keeping the public constantly advised of all the inter- mediate steps of negotiation. Canadian Treaty. “We have at this time,” he said in discussing American-Canadian rela- tions, “under our treaty of 1909 re- lating to boundary waters and ques- tions arising along the boundary be- tween Canada andthe Uniteg States, an Internationa] Joint Commission with powers of investigation and re- port within the scope of the treaty. While I’ do not undertake to speak officially upon upon this subject, 2 may take the liberty of stating as my personal view that we should do much to foster our friendly relations and to remove sources of misunder- standing and possible irritation, if we were to have permanent body of our most distinguished citizens acting as a commission, with equal matically there would be referred, for examination and report as to the facts, questions arising as to the bearing of action by ezther govern- ment upon the interests of the otaer, to the end that each reasonably pro- tecting its own interests would be so advised that it would avoid action ing unnecessary injury upon its neighbor. “We rejoice in our long friend- ship and in permanent peace, and it would be a short-sighted view that either of us has any real interest which is to be promoted without re- fard to the well-being of the other and the considerate treatment which conditions good will. I am saying this personal word as much to the people of the United States as to the people of Canada; it breathes neith- er complaint nor criticism, but a keen desire for the co-operation ot the closest friends, each secure in independence and in the assurance of amity, “We have formed the habit of Peace; we think in terms of peace. Differences arise, but our confidence in each other's sense of justice and Peaceful intent remains unshaken and dominates our purposes and plans, The only pathway of peace is that in which our peoples are walk- ing together. In the depths of our grief at the loss of the great leader, whose every thought, whose constant endeavor, were directed to the es- tablishment of peace, it is a Precious memory that almost his last words were spoken on the soil of your country testifying to our abiding friendship, our mutual interests, our common aims. Let these words of the late President ever remai: 8 the expression and assurance of abid- ing peace: ‘Our protection is in our fraternity, our armor is our faith; the tie that binds more firmly year by year is ever-increasing acquaint- ance and comradeship through inter- change of citizens; and the com; is not of perishable parchment, but of fair and honorable dealing which, God grant, shall continue for all time,’” QUOTAS FIXED FOR DRIVE OF Central Division Quota, In- cluding North Dakota, Is - Fixed at $800,000 3 Washington, Sept. 5.—Fixing of chapter quotas throughout the coun- try today was the sig Goes to Jail San Rafael, Cal, Se I, Cal., 5.

AGENT REJECTED Haw Won't Agree to Man Named by Board—Tax Question Is Before Board The Burleigh County Board of Commissioners today accepted the bid of’the Minnesota Loan and Trust Company of Minneapolis for $25,000 of certificates of indebtedness issucd under the law of the 1923 legislature providing that counties and other sub-divisions shall go on a cash basis, The certificates are issued in place of warrants. There were two bids, the C. B. Enkema Company, of Minn- eapolis bidding par for tHe certifi- cates, which bear 7 percent interest, and the Minnesota Loan and Trust bid par and a premium of $3. The rate of interest is that usually paid on warrants. The certificates must be issued by October 1, it was provided in the bid, so that it is expected the county will receive the money by that time and then will be able to pay cash, Em- ployes of the county were not paid September 1 because no funds were available and warrants could not be issued. The commissioners were pleased to get the bids, since many counties have been unable to sell the short term certificates The commissioners have received a letter from J. W. Haw, county agent leader of the state, declining to ac- cept the commissioners’ designation of Grant Palms, former county com- missioner, as county agent for the state. The commissioners agreed to employ an agent providing Mr. Palms were appointed. Mr. Haw said he had interviewed and corresponded with responsible taxpayers who object to Mr. Palms. Mr. Haw said that he was not oppos- / minutes of the council and that copies thereof be by its auditor transmitted to the widow and family of the said deceased.” It was also decided that the busi- ness houses of Wilton should be ask; éq to close ‘during the services to- ed to appointing a Burleigh county representation of both the United|man, and had no objection to ap-| When the services are being held at States and Canada, to which auto-| pointing a man of long experience the family residence. and without college training. He said that he did not believe “the spirit of the law is complied with when one public body vested jointly with other public bodies in the em- ploy of certain officials insists up- on the appointment of one man or none.” The state and federal gov- ernment participate in the payment of a county agent’s salary and ex- penses. Mr. Haw asked the commissioners to advise whether they would, take the initiative in seeking another man for appointment. Today the commissioners continu- ed hearing representatives of — var- ious firms cited by F. 0. Hellstrom! for alleged evasion of taxes, includ- ing representatives of the Standard Oil, International Harvester Com- pany, the Russell Miller Milling Com- pany and Hughes Electric Company. The discussion was largely technical with respect to the corporations, who are alleged to have evaded payment of taxes on corporate excess, and goes to the definition of corporate excess and the application of the tax laws to it, Notice was served sometime ago by some local taxpayers that the dis- trict court would be asked on Sep- tember 4 for an order restraining the commissioners trom employing Mr. Hellstrom to tnquire into tax matters. Judge Jansonius was out of the city, being on a visit in Iowa, and the matter had not been present- ed today. He is expected to return within a few days. Pioneer Trapper Drops Dead A. J.
