we a “wt - say,” said the AGRICULTURE ‘GOING UP’ Is - SHAPER VIEW Independent Candidate Voices Negative on Problems of State’s Farmers ag, FARM CROWD HEARS HIM Makes Distinct Concessions to Nonpartisan League in Two Hours’ Speech (By a Staff Correspondent) Garrison, N. D., June 26.—George F. Shafer voiced again here last night his negative answer to the problems of agriculture as they are evidenced in North Dakota in a county with 2,400 farms, where 1,000 farm mortgages have been fore- closed since 1923. _ The present Independent Repub- lican candidate for the nomination for governor again repeated the views he has expressed over eight years in four state campaigns with certain distinct concessions to the Nonpartisan League. These concessions were sufficient to indicate conclusively he has tak- en a leaf from the notebook of A. Cc. cides & and is attempting to turn it to his own advantage in the state election campaign which closes today. Facing an audience largely made up of farmers that packed the audi- torium of the Garrison High school and accorded him scant applause in the course of a speech that lasted well over two and a half hours he ignored the fundamentals of the farm problem until the issue was squarely put up to him in a question from the floor by H. B. French, edi- tor of the McLean County Inde- pendent. Has No Remedy Then he declared that agriculture in North Dakota hit the bottom in TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1928 1923 and since that time has been “going up.” He declared the ques- tion involved economic, not politi and will not respond to pol treatment. Farmers of McLean county sat stolid and undemonstrative before his statement. Here and there from Independents in the audience there was a nervous attempt at ap- plause. Then the crowd i dead silence. Asked ‘why he does not in his speeches in the campaign now clos- ing, refer to the record of successes of state industries while indicting those industries he and the group he represents have always fought with every weapon at their command in repeated vigorous efforts to discred- it North Dakota, Shafer had an answer. Successes Not Issues Tt was that the hail insurance de- partment, the fire insurance depart- ment and other state industries that have demonstrated successes are not issues in this campaign froni ‘his viewpoint, ‘ith the finesse, skill and plau- lity of the experienced negative disputator Shafer parried pointed questions put to him, with evasive erie denied he had ted le denied he had ever suggest that the state mill should be burned or thrown in the Missouri river. He answered by evasion the more pointed questions put to him touch- ing economic questions as they have developed in the state. He declared the question of the Btate issuing bonds to pay deposi- tors in closed banks is not an issue of the campaign. He denied he had ever given J. W. Brinton a recommendation to the Nebraska Wheat Growers and a clean bill of health covering his in- tegrity after teferring to Brinton as a : He denied that he had ever re- ferred to the farmers of the state as free lovers. He carried his entire negative viewpoint to a crowning _ negative climax that added nothin to or took nothing away from the issues of the state campaign.

Durum wheat which was sown in April is well stooled and heading at two fect with unusually heavy foliage, according to general reports. Hard wheats, such as Marquis and Ruby, have not as heavy foliage as durums, but a big healthy growth for the season is expected. The field of barley on the J. H.

Can Travel Cheaply Those who feel the urge of the wide open spaces can wander along the road comfortably in aymotor car day by day “as cheaply as they can live at home.” Touring club statistics indicate that for one year the average tourist car carried 3.66 persons, and each of these campers wank an average of $3.21 a day for food, shelter, amuse- ment, general necessities, and run- ning expenses. For economy, those figures speak for themselves. “Your personal tastes and the ef- ficiency of the automopile you drive will, of course, govern whether your operating expenses exceed or drop below this average of $3.51 a day.” The case of one man who made a 4,500-mile journey with his wife and 7-year-old son is indicative of how much can be accomplished at an astonishingly low price, This tour, lasting five weeks and two days, carried the party through 12 states and into 36 camps between New York and San Francisco. Their op- erating expenses were $245—less than $7'a day for all three, and no effort was made to economize, Costs Railroad Fare The cost of a return trip by auto- mobile would have amounted to little more than it cost to make the one- way trip back to New York by the shortest rail route. The camp out- fit for three, serviceable for many years, was purchased for $200. This cuipment filled three duffel bags and overflowed onto the ton- neau floor and into the space be- neath the rear seat. Two of the duffel bags were borne.on the run- ning boards with the small suitcases in which were packed the groceries. The tent was of the masquee or lla variety, eight feet square and nine feet high, with jointed pole. Nine blankets were carried. Beds and pillows were pneumatic, being inflated by air pump.
