A ¢, SATURDAY, JULY 14 RAINS BOOST _ SLOPE AREA'S _ GRAIN CROPS Bank of North Dakota Field Agent Forecasts a Nor- mal Harvest Forecast of a normal harvest of every grain except rye was made here today by C. A. Seamands, field agent of the Bank of North Dakota, in Bowman, Slope, Hettinger, Adams, Grant, Sioux and Morton counties. Field crops in that section of the state have improved wonderfully in the last month, Seamands said. soaked ‘Top pre- dictions ranged from 30 to 70 per cent of normal. The rye crop, which was slow in germinating because of the early drought, will be light in nearly every part of the state, reports made to the bank indic:te. In some places fields were plowed under ai re- planted with late maturing crops. Few Rust Reports Reports of black rust were re- ceived from a few sections of the state. A University of North Dako- ta rust expert is touring the state, however, and reports that in every section he has visited so far there is very little rust and ae ically no indications that any will-develop lat- er in the growing season. At the time the reports were made to the bank, he had still to inspect fields in the southwestern part of the state. He intended to pay particu- lar attention to the fields in Bow- man county, where some rust has been reported. Several fe rains were received in the southwestern part of the state during the week ending July 7, Sea- mands said. A heavy wind the night of July 6 did some damage to small buildings. Some grains were lodged, but fair weather the following few nfs brought the crops back to nor- mal, Farmers Improving Considerable building is underway in the southwestern part of the state. Farmers are making addi- tions to their homes and other build- ings and in many cases new machine sheds and sheep houses are being constructed. A few silos are also being added. Considerable building is being done in the Minot territory also, re- rts H. M. Erickson. More build- ing has bee done in the city of Minot this year than ever before and many farmers in that district are building new homes. Heavy precipitation occurred in| bi the Minot territory nearly every day for the last week, Erickson said. There was n> heavy wind, however, and temperatures were favorable to growing crops. The moisture this year in that territory is much more than that received a year ago. Until a month ago the rainfall received there in the growing son was much less than the ave: year, but the raii in the it three weeks ha: d the total to more than the average season. The average July precipitation in that me is less than two inches. The rainfall received in the first weeks of July was between five and six inches. Hail CSuses Damage Hail storms caused heavy damage in the territory around Wheelock as 4, according to the report of T. E. Charlson, for the northwestern part of the state. A heavy rainfall that day was accompanied by hail causing total losses in some fields, he said. Wind during the storm did little damage, howeve;. “Crop prospects in this section of the state are very good,” Charlson said. “Some fields are the best in years. In some parts the fields lanted early in the season are the it while in other parts the later crops look the best. , “About 40 pee cent of the wheat in Mountrail and Williams counties is headed.” Condition of field crops in the western and south central parts of the state is better even than in 1927, ny H. gee a fields have impro' greatly there isa - eral optimistic feeling and pin og tion for a good crop. Crop Improved In the territory west of Mandan, where fields were in poor condition until the recent heavy rainfall, the reports indicate that the crop is fray. improved. Flax looks the eral prospects in McLean, in, Dunn cad Stark counties are good. A sample of wheat showing signs of rust was sent to the bank by A. L: Miller, who covers the northwest- ern of the state. The sample, which was in the first stages of rust development, was taken from a field between St. Thomas and Crys- » TT B59 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The Farm tate Bank at Baldwin, in'the State of North Dakota, at the close of business June 30, 1928.

Henry Lyon and James War- ner, respectively navigator and radio operator for the monoplane Southern Cross, of the Golden Gate-Australia flight, and Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh, who flew alone from New York to Paris, exchanged compli- ments here yesterday. “Gentlemen, I congratulate you on the greatest flight that has ever been made up to this time,” said Lindbergh. Lyon retorted: “Why, it was noth- ing of the sort! Yours was the real flight. We were fqur to your one.” Warner hastened also to deprecate the Southern Cross flight as com- pared with Lindbergh’s. The meeting was arranged after friends of the flyers discovered that Lindbergh was a guest at a club ‘on one side of the street, while Lyon and Warner were being feted at a hotel on the other.

Veterans of the world war who (happen out to Fort Lincoln these |days find it balm to their souls that |recruits are having just as hard task in learning to be soldiers as they had during the hectic days of [the world war. : <i And for the lads “in the trenches” at Fort Lincoln it is serious busi- hess, just as it was for two million Americans 10 years ago. Last but not least, the language in which the rookies are. addressed is the same, just the technique of bayonet drill is apparently unchan; 5 The rookies are peace-time sol- diers but the business of the soldier is still the business of war and the officers are even more strict in their requirement that the soldier attain Perfection at his chosen trade. In the event of another war, they explain, the regular army men would be detailed to instruct another 2,000,000 civilians and hence they must know their business. And be. sides there is the normal soldie: ride in his proficiency. The of- icers explain that every good sol- dier has it. Rifle Like Cruteh Many of the would-be soldiers have never before had an army rifle in their hands and many are about as skillful as the proverbial jcow with the crutch. Others show more proficiency and these are wel- comed by the officers as proof that the human race is not altogether feet and hands. 25 men are seen marching over the training field at the post. They are being trained in everything from keeping their mess kits and rifles clean to the proper use of the bay- onet. And the old thorn in the side of every veteran—that of digging trenches—is still a thorn. The rookies are equipped with the reg- ulation shovels and picks and set to work. . The field at the training post represents a miniature “front” as the jiers are put through their paces. “Shell holes” are dug in the fields and long trenches lend additional ; atmosphere. Bayonet Technique 2 Large frames of wood, holding in place sacks stuffed with straw, are used to teach the proper technique in bayonet work. On one end of the field the training begins with a trench, from which the soldier crawls “over the top.” He runs 20 feet, s a bayonet through a ck lying on the ground, and leaps into a “shell hole” to evade like treatment from an imaginary enemy. Puffs of dust emerge from the hole as the soldier Every day small squads of 20 or/fantry School at Fort Benning, Ga.
