County agents, the survey sets forth, report that while fields gener- ally have developed as rapidly as in 1928, northern and western Minne- sota has been deficient in moisture ¢ * growth has been slow. The agents and Paul H. Kirk, agri- cultural statistici:. at St. Paul, point- ed out that conditions are not indica- tive of what the harvest will be, due to the importance of weather, mois- ture, and other factors, during the balance of the growing season. | Kirk said on the whole the outlook is favorable for as extensive produc- tion as in 1928, a year of good yields. Southeast Ahead In a number of southeastern coun- ties agents r=port that fields are ahead of 1928 development. North of the Twin Cities development has been as rapid or a bit slower than last year, dut to deficiency of moisture. In some counties west of here moisture has been insufficient, but fields on the whole look good. In extreme western Minnesota, in the northern two-thirds of the state, crops are short. North central ayd east central Minnesota have fared better, while development has been slower than usual in extreme northern counties. Counties in which crops are ahcad of development last year at this time include Cottonwood, Redwood, Pipe- stone, Waseca, Steele, Olmsted, Dodge, and Houston. Fields are at about the same stage as in 1928 in Itasca, Aitkin, Crow Wing, Meewer, Traverse, Blue Earth, Watonwan, Nicollet, Scott, Murray, Brown, Lyon, Fillmore, and Washington. In Mower county hay is ahead, corn is about the same, and small grain is retarded. Western Counties Lag Agents report that crops generally are not up to 1928 development in Cook, Koochiching, Polk, Hubbard, Clearwater, Pine, St. Louis and Chi- sago counties, Corn, which contributed 31 per cent of the farm value of the ten principal crops in the state last ycar, is having normal development in most counties. Development of oats, source of the second largest item of crop income last year, and tame hay, third in value, is “spotted.” The tame and wild hay crop is short in some coun- ties and the best in years in others. Barley, fourth last year, is good in many counties and fair in others. Late frosts have caused fields in some sec- tions to be thin. Spring wheat is fair to good, al- though poor and short here and there. Potatoes are fair to good in the heavy producing areas. Winter wheat, har- vesting of which will get under way soon, is fair to good generally. Flax and rye, other crops in the first ten in farm value in 1928, are fair to good generally. HAIL IS REPORTED Reports of @ heavy hail storm which occurred in La Moure and Stutsman counties June 30 were re- ceived at the state hail insurance de- partment today. More than 100 claims were received from La Moure county and 60 from Stutsman county. EDISON DRINKS MILK Brookside, N. J., July 2.—(?)—When Thomas A.

Hagman declare the new intrastate class freight rate schedule conflicts with existing inter- state rates. Hagman, representing the Great. Northern railroad and the Farmers: Grain and Shipping Company of | North Dakota, made the opening ad- dress at the hearing on the applica- tion of North Dakota railroads for an injunction restraining application of the intrastate rates recently ordered by the North Dakota board of railroad commissioners. Hagman claimed the proposed new scedule would curtail by about 10 per cent the wholesale distribution rates from all points in North Dakota except those along the eastern border, The interstate commerce commission, Hagman said, has before it proceed- ings to determine whether the new schedule discriminates against inter- state rates. The new rate schedule was to have become effective July 1, but wes post- Poned until July 12 pending outcome of the hearing. The petitions are rep- resented, in addition to Hagman, by L. E. Lyons, general counsel for the Northern Pacific railroad, M. L. Countryman of the same road, J. N. Davis of the St. Paul road, and A. E. Bjorklund of the Soo Line.

Taylor Cites Evidence in Various Features of Do- minion Government The influence of the United States on Canada was analyzed by E. J. Taylor, supreme court reporter, at the Kiwanis club noon luncheon to- day. It was an Independence wee! talk, as Canada has its Dominion day, July 1, and, in Mr. Taylot’s boy- hood back along St. Lawrence in New York state, it was customary to cele- jbrate this day and the Fourth on a reciprocity basis, he said. It usually required quick recovery from Domin- fon day festivities for the New York participants to get back in time for their own holiday. But they brought back Canadian friends to share in the exuberance of the American natal day and these Canadians some- times spent a week recovering suf- ficiently to return home. This was in the era of B. V., Mr. Taylor —B signifying “before” &n@ V being an abbreviation for “Volstead.” Avoided State’s Rights However, the existence of the Uni- ted States by the side of its sister land has had other influences than that or 115 years of peace, said Mr. Taylor. The influence of the U. 8. was reflected in the dominion act ion that form of government in Canada, said Mr. Taylor, had ob- served how the principle of state's rights had led to the Civil war on this side. Canada, therefore, took away any such rights from the prov- inces and vested full authority in the dominion, which can delegate back any right that may at any time aa: desirable to concede to the prov- Mr. Taylor called attention to the Secon of counties and townships in Canada, as an evidence of U. 8. influence on the organization of the ion and provinces. The home- stead law, the survey law and local government in the towns and cities being the same as those on this side of the boundary were other evidences of influence cited. In connection with his analysis, Mr. Taylor cited the sizes of th countries—that of the "tnited States being 3,026,701 square miles, while Charter No. 2434 week the day and Canada includes 3,729,665 miles.
