ESTABLISHED, 1873 BINDER’S HUM BEING HEARD ; INBURLEIGH Rye Harvest Now in Full Swing and Some Wheat Is Being Cut This Week DISCOUNT RUST TALK Farmers Themselves in Many Localities Report no Black Rust Yet The hum of the binder fs being heard in the fields of Burleigh county this week. Farmers are generally busy cutting Tye, and some are cutting wheat, al- though the wheat harvest is not go- ing to get general until next week, according to information obtained by The Tribune through interviews with farmers and others who travel over the county and make it their business to learn conditions. Rust talk, wi flared up Satur- day and resulted in the United States Department of Agriculture in Wash- ington announcing possible heavy losses in western North Dakota from black rust, does not appear to be worrying farmers in this section a % great deal. Gottlieb Lanisky of Arena, in the city today to make arrangements for help at the state free employment office, reported that there was no rust in that section. He said the crops were fair to good, and reported that he had cut 200 acres of rye and was starting in to cut wheat. Herman Brocopp, in charge of the employment office, said reports were received of wheat cutting around Lin- ton. He also reported Joseph Mc- Clusky, north of Menoken, would be- gin cutting. wheat Wednesday. Early Grain Safe The E. A. Trygg farm, 14 miles east of Baldwin, reported some red rust but no black rust. No wheat has been cut in that vicinity, and the harvest probably will not start for a week, The Tribune was informed. Rye is being cut there. The G. W. Larson farm 25 miles southeast of here, near. Brittin,. re- ported no wheat was cut in that vi- cinity. There is no black rust there, it was reported. Wheat cutting pro- bably won’t begin there until next week, but the rye harvest is in full swing now. Wheat, it was said, ap- pears to be riper around Bismarck than around Brittin. S. W. Derrick, superintendent of the Soo line, reported some wheat was being cut up and down the line. The early sown wheat, which is pro- bably one third of the crop, is be- yond damage from black rust,» he said. The damage from black rust yon the late sown grain is entirely problematical, he said, and it pro- bably will be a week before any ac- curate prediction along this line can be made. There is some black rust and there will be, of course, some damage to late grain, he said. A report was received of a rain storm which was accompenied by hail, near Fullerton, last night. A small strip of rye and wheat was damaged about 30 percent by hail. Harvest Wages Harvest laborers are beginning to drift in, but it is a little early’ for a big demand from farmers. Wages to be paid vary with: localities, Mr. Brocopp said, based on reports to the local employment office. It has been pointed out that in the Red River Valley wages of from $2.00 to $3.00 per day in the wheat fields are being offered, with the bar- vest not yet under way. Some sec- tions of this part of the state have been talking higher wages. The ex- pected influx of laborers to the state is held likely to provide all the har- vest help needed, and the prevailing wage in this section of the state may be held down’to about the sume as the Red River Valley. < Farmers thus far have been able to get all the help they need, and with many men out of employment in the east there is a dispositio.: not to pay any higher wages than aecetsary to harvest the crop. hy Lonesome For Her Children, _ Pioneer Suicides Halliday, N. D., Aug. 4.—Mrs. 8.| «* D, O'Neill, aged about 68, commit- ted suicide by drowning herself in a pool formed by a creek near her home Friday night shortly after 10 o'clock.

Her body was found about 1 o’clock in a pool a short distance from her house. “Lonesomeness for her children,” of. whom are married and live y from home, is ascribed by one citizen as the possible cause of her suicide.

P.) —That the current increases in farm product prices is only a tem- porary relief and that the funda- Mental causes of the agricultural depression have not been removed is rted by the National Coun- cil of Agriculture in & message sent yesterday to President Cool- idge. The council in its message pet- itioned the President to have ap- pointed by the Secretary of Agri- culture “an extraordinary com- mission” to study the basic defects of agriculture and recommend re- medial legislation to Congress. The council was formed at St. Paul last month by representatives of approximately 50 farm organiza- tions in order that concerted effort might be made to obtain legislation embodying the principles of the McNary-Haugen bill. In petitioning the President to appoint a commission, George N. Peek, Moline, Illinois, president of the council regarded the agricul- tural price situation as essentially economic rather than political and “aims” to insure that the agricul- tural problem does not become the football of partisan politics. “The council does nog regard the current increase in price of farm as fundamentally meeting quirements of the agricultur- al situation,” the petitioning letter states, “but on the contrary it be- lieves the requirements can be met only by definitely and permanently éstablishing agriculture on a par- ity with industry and labor by ex- tenting to it the principles of the protective system in a manner that will insure an American price for the ‘American requirements, inde- pendent of the world price for the surplus.” PROVIDENT AGENTS MEET Eighty Attend Annual Meet- ing of Local Company The Provident Life Insurance Company is holding an Agency meeting this week at “Fair Hills” a resort situated about twelve miles south of Detroit, Minnesota.

REPORT CORN IS IMPROVING REMARKABLY Van Dusen Harrington Grain Survey of Northwest Tells of Progress The weekly crop report of the Van Dusen-Harrington Company, Minnea- polis, as of July 30, says: ‘he past week has been very fav- orable for the gtain crops of the Northwest. While some days have been hot, especially in Montana, the nights were cool. Small grain gener- ally, is filling exceptionally well. Many wonderful fields are reported throughout the territory. “The harvesting of Winter wheat has started in Minnesota and South Dakota and Spring wheat cutting will begin next week. “Black rust is in evidence in the Red River Valley in fairly light form, but other parts of the Northwes: are quite free from it, A large portion of the wheat crop is now out of dan- ger, except from hail or local wind storms. There are spots where the fields on light soil show some blight, but this is not general. “There are districts in Nortn Da- kota, South Dakota and Montana where the wonderful early prospects have been reduced because of » dry weather, In the state of Minnesota, however, the crops are almost uni- formly good. “The harvesting of barley and outs is now on, in Minnesota and South Dakota, where these two crops are practically assured. In the Northern territory barley and oats are from ten days to two weeks later. “Rye has exceeded carly expecta- tions and a considerable portion of the crop is harvested, Favorable filling weather has greatly improved the yield. “The weather has been favorable for corn. This erop, although from two tq three weeks lute, has improv- ed wonderfully during the past two weeks. Much of it is now tasseled in the Southern territory. In North Dakota some of it may mature, if the favorable weather continues. “There are no new developments on flax. The outcome of the crop now is purely a weather proposition. Early flax is in the boll, while some of it is just coming into bloom. There are many fine fields reported, es- pecially on new ground, but’there is also considerable weedy flax and some, where the fields are thin. This latter condition is due to dry weath- er. “The recent advance in prices of all farm commodities has made a tremendous change of feeling in the country. With prospects for fine crops and good prices, the farmers believe that a turn for the better has at last come.” BUSY TIME _.

P.) —Dr. William Healy, Boston psy- chiatrist, testifying as a defense alienist today at the hearing to degermine punishment for Richard eb and Nathan F.

He said Loeb told him he “found nothing to deter him,” and that Leopold had said he would commit the crime, again “if it gave him pleasure.” As to the conditions of the child- ish ccmpact which had influenced the latter lives of Leopold and Loeb nothing was said in open court, Judge John R. Caverly rul- ing that the matter was unprint- able and having Dr. Healy recite it to the Court...xtenographera. or court. record, “Nothing that is. unfit for pub- lication is comii ceverl ys asserted.

D., Apg. 4.—The cutting of wheat was begun today in isolated instances in Northwestern North Dakota, states county agent John Husby, with prospects that the ma- jor portion of the erop will be har- vested before serious rust damage.

S. Cruiser, After Attempts to Salvage It Have Failed Aboard U. 8. Richmond, Aug. 4.—~ (By the A, P.)--The Boston, the air- plane piloted by Lieut. Leigh Wade in the American army world flight was abandoned early this morning. The plane was taken in tow by the Richmond yesterday af- ter Lieut. Wade and his mechanic, Sergeant Arthur Ogden, had been forced down at sea by engine trouble while negotiating the hop from Kirk- wall in the Orkneys to Iceland. The Richmond's effort to salvage the wrécked plane was abandoned when the machine, which had been gradually filling while being towed in a heavy sea, capsized. Seeing the hopelessness of further attempting to save it, the officers cut it adrift, Tough Break Of Luck The Richmond then turned about and made for Iceland. Lieut, Wade brought his plans to grief and stop- ped the participation of himself and Sgt. Ogden in the flight when it was so near a conclusion, but he took the disappointment well. Describing his experiences Lieut. Wade said: “It was the first time we had had trouble with the oil pump and our second forced landing in the 19,000 mile flight.. The first was on the Japanese coast when we came down for water. “On yesterday's flight, when the trouble came, we signalled Lieut. Smith that.we were forced down, Al- 0. that the engine was out of com- mission, requesting -him to advise the patrol. We expected to remain in the water until the Richmond ar- rived. We saw a merchant vessel at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but could not attract his attention. An hour later. the trawler which rescued us was sighted. We had to signal her with pistol and rifle before she ne- ticed us.” Are Picked Up Lieut.’ Wade said he and Ogden were afraid at first to eat the sa wiches and drink the water they had, not. knowing how long it would be before they were rescued. They were confident all along, however, that they would sight a vessel and even- tually reach land and they kept the plane consigntly before the wind. “It was a tough break after the five-months flight,” said Wade, “as when the four planes left America the Army hoped all four wonla ri turn. But its all in the game. Wa did our best.” MAY DISPATCH PLANE Washington, Aug. 4—(By the A. P.) --The question of dispatching an- other Army airplane to Iceland to permit Lieut. Wade, whose plane was wrecked, to continue the journey, was taken up today by Army and Navy officials. Army air service officials today re- ceived wireless reports from the Navy patrol boats that the Richmond hed recovered the wrecked Boston and that there was still some hope that it might be salvaged. If not so bad- ly smashed facilities aboard the cruisers are available for repair work, The advices gave no details and did not make it clear whether they were forwared before press dispatches tell- ing of abandonment of the craft, PROBABLY OUT OF IT Washington, Aug. 4.—Unless the wrecked airplane of Lieut. Wade can be repaired, he is definitely dut of the world race, according to word received from Lieut. Nelson at Reykjavik, Iceland. —————_—_——* \ Weather Report | eo———_-- WEATHER REPORT For 24 hours ending at noon: Temperature at 7 a. m. Highest yesterday . Lowest yesterday . Lowest last night .
