NORTH DAKOTA'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER THE BISMARCK TRIBUN BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1928 | CONGRESS STUDIES FARM RELIEF PROMI North Dakota Spending Most Money Since War ESTABLISHED 1878 G.N.D. A.STARTS : HOG HUSBANDRY DRIVE IN TRAILL Multiplied Profits to Pig Pro- ducers Sought in Expand- ing Campaign INCLUDES 20 COUNTIES Cheap State Lands Should) A Give Farmers Advantage Over Older Territory A campaign for better hog hus- bandry is being launched in Traill county this week by the Greater North Dakota association. The campaign will be concentrated in the northeast section of the state temporarily, but directors of the drive expect it to be general next summer, The hog driye is following on the footheels of the drive for better pure- bred cattle husbandry jin the state, Multiplied profits to hog producers of the state are being sought in the drive, it is said by officials, and the prolonged campaign will be brought to approximately 20 counties. The schedule is being arranged by B. BE. Groom, chairman of the live- stock committee of the association. “The type of hog campaigns to be carried on has passed the experi- mental state,” according to Mr. Groom, who offers evidence that in those areas of North Dakota: cov- ered by the 1928 campaigns the hog situation is greatly improved. “There is no reason why the. pro- ducers of North Dakota should not have a decided advantage over the producers of such older states as Jowa and Illinois, for our land is cheaper though equally productive for hog feed crops,” the agricultural chairman points out. Randlett in Charge Gordon W. Randlett, former di- rector of the extension divisions of the agricultural colleges of North and South Dakota, and himself an experienced and successful hog raiser, is to be in actual charge of the campaigns in the field. He will visit a number of towns in each county, conduct meetings and visit farms of hog raisers. The first ser- ies of similar meetings saw like campaigns carried into 97 towns in rd southeastern part of North Da- cota. “We who are buying ho; state have noted a definite and marked improvement in the quality of pork now coming from those por- tions of North Dakota where the earlier campaigns were staged,” A. H. Wije, hog buyer, for Armour & company, West Fargo, states. “The animals are being finished off better, and are generally able to command a higher price than formerly,” he de- clared. Pointing to the attention granted these campaigns by the hog pro- ducers of a given locality, Mr. Groom shows that the 97 meetings conduct- ed in the first sustained campaign attracted an average attendance of 39 actual hog raisers. These gather- ings were held in the smaller towns or in rural consolidated school houses or other points convenient for the farmers’ atterdance. A similar plan will be followed out in the program to be launched this week, and which will be continued until the month of June,- under. the direction of Mr. Randlett. At the Fargo branch of Armour & company during the past few years, Mr. Randlett had acquired 3 reputation for shipping hogs pro- (Continued on page eleven) ONE KILLED IN \,, BELGRADE RIOT Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Dec. 1.— (AP)—One person was killed and @ polceman seriously injured tocey during violent scenes at cS be which occurred during the celebra- tion of the tenth annivesary of the union of the Serbs, Croats and Sovenes.

ANIMAL KINGS, QUEENS HOLD WORLD'S FAIR 12,000 Bluebloods of Agricul- tural Royalty Reign at Chicago Show Chicago, Dec. 1 and queens of the animal kingdom, groomed in dress regalia for a world’s fair of their own, sought blue ribbons of agricultural toyalty today with the opening of the 29th annual international livestock ex- position, There were record entries of near- ly 12,000 bluebloods, including 40 breeds of beef cattle, swine, horses and sheep. Millionaire livestock fanciers had sent their best stock to parade for honors during the eight- day show. Socially prominent leaders of agri- culture elbowed with 40-acre farm- ers in the cosmopolitan crowds that thronged the stockyards. A message from Secretary of Agriculture Jar- dine called the exposition a “con- gress for discussing the farmer’s problems.” 2 |The international horse show, ex- hibiting 500 of the world’s choicest horses, was a fair in itself.

I feel gratified that you should think well of the country which we love. We are proud of many sturdy virtues of our people but we know full well our own weak- nesses, “The progress in the building of government for the people and by the people is a long provess of trial and error. We in the United States have made progress and we have at- tained a great degree of Prosperity, but we have made failures. Yet if we survey the experience of the whole western hemisphere both in failures and in success I believe we can say that we should be of good faith and confident in the future.” Sunday the president elect and his party are to board the Cleveland for the trip back to the Maryland and anchor will be weighed late in the day for Callao, the next port of call. From Callao the president will go to Lima, the capital city, to be gnsied and entertained by President Leguia.

JARDINE SAYS Secretary Jardine’s Annual Re- ‘port to Coolidge Show Achievement FARM RELIEF IS NEEDED Suggests Farmers Would Bene- fit by Developing Quality Production Washington, Dec. 1—(AP)—De- spite the clamor of demands for farm relief legislation, Secretary Jardine in his annual report to Pi ident Coolidge declares that beyond question th gt down in American agricultural his- tory as a year of ievement.”” Insisting that the gross income from agriculture this year will be well above the 1927-28 total of $12,- 253,000,000, the secretary neverthe- less couples his forecast with the statement that “this does not mean that agricultural grievances are in- substantial nor does it mean that the remedy for these very real difficul- ties should be left to the free play of economic forces.” “The situation from which agri- culture is still suffering has complex economic, social and other roots,” he says, “For these the nation cannot escape its just share of responsi- bility in that its offi dvocated overwhelming expansion of produc- tion during the war. In like man- ner the nation must accept its share of responsibility in seeking ai plying sound and adequate relief. Entitled to Relief “In short, agriculture {s entitled to Panes governmental help in re- uilding its fortunes on a firm and permanent feundation.” Without offering any hard and fast farm relief proposal the secre- tary suggests that farmers could benefit themselvés by giving major attention to quality producti Dis- cussing agricultural legislation, he draws attention to laws already en- acted, such as the cooperative mi keting act of July 2, 1926, the agri- cultural credits act of 192: utes in 28 states authorizing for- mation of cooperative associations. Much has already been done by this and similar legislation, he argued, toward ‘improving the situation of farmer. ields of farm credits and crop insurance the secretary found the greatest need for future im- pees though he felt that the ‘ederal farm loan system and i: termediate credit banks have ready greatly increased safety and lity. “Mich has been done in ent years,” he says, “to improve agriculture’s credit facilities, but much remains to be done. Mr. Jardine’s opti outlook took into consideration his notation that “in value our agricultural ex- ports for the year were four r cent less than those of the preceding year and were the smallest in the last five yeais.” He set forth that agricultural exports amounted to only 38 er cent of the total and explained that cotton exports fell off 0 per cent in volume, wheat 6 per cent, and that apples and pork pro- ducts, both leading export items, showed reduc.d totals. Barley, corn, Tice, tobacco, and prunes, however, showed encouraging export in- creases, Largest Crop Recorded In spite of bad weather conditions in some sections, he says, the acre- age of.crops harvested was the larg- est ever recorded, and 8,000,000 acres above the 1927 total. Yields Per acre, moreover, were “about 3 r cent above the average for the last 10 pears and about 1.7 per cent above those of last year.” “Corn production is estimated at about 2,900,000,000 bushels, ‘the larg- est crop since Corn, which furnishes about half our grain sup- ply, was grown this year on an acreage a little larger than that har- vest last year, and the yields, al- though uneven, a little better. Jowa had a record crop and good sels were raised also in Illi- it i i, Oklahoma, y rop was about, equal to the average of the last 10 and Wisconsin’s crop slightly above the 10 year average. In oth- er important corn-raising states, the yields were disappointing.

Larger Trading Centers Active While Smaller Towns Feel ‘Pinch’ State One of Four in Union| Where Farm Sales Exceed ition in the|to 1927 Record Fargo, N. Dec, 1.—(AP)— Marked increase in business ity is reported from the larger cities in| North Dakota, although this situ: | tion is not reflected in many smaller places, according to the monthly re- view of business and financial condi- tions in North Dakota. The review, as prepared by P. W. Clemens, president of the North- western and Dakota Trust company, for the Associated Press and its member Rerppagets follows: y P. Clemens. More money is being spent in the larger trading centers of North Da- kota this fall than at any previous time since the war, and perhaps in the history of the state, according to a tabulation of debits to individual accounts, which shows the highest totals for October and early Novem- ber since these records were estab- lished in 1920. On the other hand, there is considerably less business activity in ler towns of the state. Unwillingness of farmers to market wheat at prevailing price levels, however, has slowed up col- lections and has had a depressing ef- fect on wholesale trade. Construction work during October was more than three times as great as a year ago, whereas, a report for the entire United States shows an increase of only one-half of one per cent. North Dakota sales this year are greater than a year ago, according to a Federal survey. Machinery Sets Record Farm machinery sales will reach a record volume for the year, most of the increase being due to enormous urchases of tractors and combine arvesters. Lumber sales during October were more than twenty per Fae ahead of those for October, The farmers’ situation has im- proved somewhat during the month, due to ideal weather conditions, a slight increase in the price of wheat and a substantial increase for flax. A favorable decision in the hearings which are scheduled for an increased tariff on flax would undoubtedly re- sult in a still higher price for this farm crop in which North Dakota ls the United States in produc- Most creditors are showing an in- clination to aid the farmers in their wheat-holding spenerass by not push-} (Continued on page eleven) PLAN CANFIELD SCHOOLHOUSE| Temporary School Held in Base- ment of Building Burned Past Week A new school building will be erected next spring to replace the Canfield consolidated school building which burned down last Sunday night or early Monday morning, according to a decision of the patrons of the Canfield school district. This announcement was made to- day at the office of the county su- perintendent of schools, after a mes- sage had been received from Earl Mowder, clerk of the Canfield school board. The cause of the fire which razed the school building is said to have been overheated furnace pipes. All that remains of the building is the cement basement. A roof will be built on the base- ment immediately and it w::l be used as a temporary school building until next spring, Mowder said. A build- ing will be moved from Regan to Canfield to serve as a teacherage, the patrons plan. Three teachers and their families in the building escaped through thi basement windows after the fire wa: discovered about midnight. The teachers were Ole W. Klevjord, prin- cepal, Mrs. Louise Klevjord, and Miss Lydia Klevjord. Insurance on the building totaled $9,600, it is said. The district school board called the meeting of the board Wednesday.

BILL GUMMER SEEKS PARDON ON PETITIONS Fargo Hotel Clerk, Convicted of Murdering Girl, Seeks Freedom H Hearing on an application for par- don by William Gummer probably will be held by the state pardon ard at its next session. Gummer was the central figure in the state’s most famous murder trial held a number of years ago and for years has been the prisoner at the state penitentiary about whom vis- itors were most curious. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in |connection with the death of Marie Wick of Grygla, Minnesota. Gummer was clerk of the Fargo hotel in which the girl’s body was found and was convicted of the crime, although he always has stoutly maintained his innocence. has been circulating a petition for his release, although no petitions have yet been filed with the state pardon board. Since Gummer was convicted of first degree murder it is doubtful if action will be taken in his case in the near future. Under the law first-degree murder convicts are not eligible to parole until they have served half of their life expectancy at the time of sentence. The life expectancy of a prisoner is figured from mortality tables issued by in- surance companies and Gummer has not yet reached an age where he would be eligible to parole under the law. The board could grant a full pardon but this is rarely done y the pardon board and almost never in the case of major offenders unless, of course, they can prove their innocence of the crime for which they are convicted. The habit of the pardon board, ac- cording to Miss Chrissie Budge, sec- retary, is to grant a hearing to ap- Plicants such as Gummer even though no action is taken. The board may, however, refuse to hear the case is so disposed. SARLES YOUTH DIES IN CRASH Langdon, N.
