World Acreage of Wheat to be Harvested Is Five Millions Greater SPOTTED CONDITION IN STATE REVEALED BY U.S. CROP REPORT Drouth Has Failed Only in Ef-| fect on Early Flax, Says Statistician Kienholz | HEAT OVERSPEEDS RIPENING Rains in Southeast and Center Will Help Some and Produce Longer Straw at Least While drouths in various countrics | will reduce the production of wheat | this year, notably as in the north- west’s spotted areas and in portions | of Canada where the crop has failed | almost entirely, the acreage to be harvested, from present indications, will be five million acres greater than last year. According to O. M. Fuller, assistant | extension economist at North Dakota Agricultural college, this increase in acreage is reported from 21 countries, while 11 countries of Europe report a total of 56,562,000 acres, an increase | of 1.4 per cent over last year. General showers ranging from light to heavy have occurred in virtually all sections of the state since July 1, says Ben Kienhalz, federal crop statis- tician for Narth Dakota. ‘Two stations, however, in the north- | west, reported no rainfall to July 1 Some improvement in crop condition: has occurred in the ‘northeast and) for some distance west, particularly | ef late crops. The sections most affected by! drouth have generally received the least moisture and carly grains arc dtying up, with the exception of carly flax, which still looks good. The cx- treme high temperatures of July 15 and 16 have hastened crop deteriora- tion and forced the ripening of oats and barley. ‘The most striking fact to an ob- server is the very spotted condition of crops. Some very good fields are to be seen in the driest sections of the stated, while very poor fields arc ‘also present in sections where condi- tions are considered best. A Rains which have occurred during the past week in the southeast and central territory will do some good in causing a better fill as well as in pro- ducing a longer straw, particularly of late sown crops. Generally, addi- tional rains are necded to mantain mt crop conditions. Late flax is poor with stands thin and uneven. A considerable percent- age of those fields will probably not be harvested. Rye ranges from poor to good. Some fields have been plowed up. Harvesting of the crop; has begun in the southern half of the/ state. Corn prospects cre good, though the crop is backward as com- pared with last year. In the south- west many fields are from 50 to 7: per cent of a full stand due to cut: worm damage. Pastures and hay crop are dry and short in parts of the state, but up to average where recent rains have oc-/ curred. Alfalfa, generally, looks good. | A large acreage of sweet clover is be- ing cut for hay. Rains in the Red Rriver valley, where the commercial potato acreage is concentrated, have been of great) benefit to the crop. Virtually no reports of rust have been received and. though some red rust is present in fields, weather con- ditions are unfavorable for its de- velopment to a point whcre damage will result. With an increase in carry-over from last year’s crop the storage of ————— | Weather Report o— Temperature at 7 a. m. Highest yesterday . Lowest last night . Precipitation to 7 a. m. .

D. Agricultural College Adds to Requirements of 204 Credit Hours | Fargo, N. D.. July 25.—Students at the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege, to graduate from the four-year ‘curricula, must, in the future, obtain 204 honor points in addition to 204 credit hours, according to a recent ruling made by the college council. One honor point will be given for ‘each credit made with grades 77 to 84 inclusive, two honor points for each credit made with grades 85 to 92} inclusive and three points with each jeredit with grades 93 to 100. As no honor points are being given for grades from 70 to 76, all prospec- \tive graduates will have to maintain Jan average of 77 or more credits in ‘excess of 204, with corresponding | honor points. Students now enrolled in the upper classes will have to make the same number of honor points as credits yet to be made be- ‘fore graduation. This decision, according to. A H. Parrott, registrar, conforms with general revision of rules being made at this time and is in keeping with ithe north central association of col- |leges and secondary schools, there be- ing only three that have not adopted such a system for graduation. regulations that are being strength- ened are those applying to atten ance, changes of program and drop: ping of courses. | | STATION DIRECTOR RECOVERS |_ Pargo, N.

OH,I SEE A SPARRER , HEY ? WELL ~uH DONT You “Tin, BY TH! TIME HE GiTs TH’ BAIT ET, You LL NEED A BIGGER Other | DUCKFOOT FAVORED AS SUMMER FALLOW ter Yield Than on Land Plowed and Weeded The usc of the duckfoot cultfvator | for summerfallowing is recommended | by Leroy Moomaw, superintendent of | Dickinson substation, according to word received at the North Dakota ; | Agricultural experiment station. His | Tecommendation is based on experi- { ments which have been carried on | during recent years at Dickinson sub- station. | | I 1928 the duckfoot mpthod gave | | better yields of wheat “than land plowed. Land which was fallowed by | the duckfoot only and had not been plowed since 1923, actually produced a higher yield of wheat than land which was plowed in 1927 and during the balance of the season kept free of weeds by use of the duckfoot. If no cultivation has yet been given the land which one expects to fallow i this season, it may be necessary to | Plow the soil, states Mr. Moomaw. For ‘best results with the duckfoot’ the first tillage should be given about |May 15 or earlier. The new type of ‘implement known as the one-way disk is good for the first time over the land with a heavy stubble, or where weeds have a start, but this imple- ment requires about twice as much |power as the duckfoot. Since theduckfoot method is consid- | erabty cheaper Mr. Moomaw strong- jly recommends its use. If the work | can be done before the weeds become jtoo high and when the soil is dry, he | believes the duckfoo‘ is the only im- plement necessary. | When the soil is excessively packed, | infested with grass, stony or contain- ling sloughs with tough rooted peren- | nials, the use of a plow to summer- | fallow is advisable. There is also the | possibility that occasional plowing {may be necessary with continued use ‘of the duckfoot over a series of years, ‘Plenty of Fresh Water | Best Summer Feed to | Give Young Chicks| “Plenty of fresh, cool water is the | cheapest summer feed for chicks,” ac- |cording to Geo. P. Goodearl, in- | structor in poultry husbandry, North |Dakota Agricultural college. “It is jinseparably allied with economical |summer growth. “Place the water fountains in a cool. shady place. Do not set them; | out in the glaring sun and expect the chicks to enjoy the water in them, especially if it is a few days old. Rinse out and fill the fountains every day, or even twice a day, and supply a suf- ficient number water dishes so they will not all be dry in a few |hours. Do not expect or permit the| chicks to run to stagnant pools, creeks | or rhea ditches for their drinking water.” College Builds Bee House to Experiment On Honey Production A bee-house has recently been |completed at the North Dakota Ag- ricultural college in order to facili- | tate the experiments in honey produc- ; tion, according to Prof. J. A. Munro, entomologist. It is constructed of wood frame and siding, measures 16 by 32 feet, and has a full concrete floor. ! In addition to the honey house, | Which occupies three-fourths of the j building, is the insectary, which will | be used to study the life histories of | insects. The portion used for the in- | Sectary is screened in so as to keep | the temperature within practically the same as outdoors.

No. Dakota Potato Is Topic of Bulletin On Certified Seed Distant buyers of potatoes are in- terested in the quality of seed for which they contract, and particularly in its freedom for disease, according to Dean H. L. Bolley, pure seed com- missioner, North Dakota Agricultural college. North Dakota growers and commercial buyers are also insistent that there be careful inspection and certification of potatoes. To satisfy this demand North Dakota has estab- lished official registration and certifi- cation work under the supervision of the pure seed laboratory. A recent revision of circular 31, “Po- tatoes, Registration and Certification for Seed in North Dakota,” is‘now available at the publications depart- ment of the college. In the circular are all the rulings, requirements snd essential steps for a grower of potatoes to procure registration and certifica- tion of his crop.- Range Chicks Require Plenty of Roost Room Adequate roosting room is essential to the proper development of chicks on range, according to Geo. P. Good- earl, instructor in poultry, North Da- kota Agricultural college. Chicks that are crowded at night are overheated by A. H. Parrott, registrar at the col- ; e. The fA THIS HAS HAPPENED MOLLY BURNHAM, engaged to JACK WELLS, has inherited $10,000. Molly just graduated from col- lege, upon learning the news, she gives a party that is both a celebra- tion and a farewell, because coi mencement is over and the girls are preparing to leave. Jack Wells, whom Molly loves with her heart, is a draftsman in an architect’s office. Jack is handsome and a Harvard man. He loves Molly devotedly but has no money at all. Nothing but an uncertain future, and a heart full of love. Molly is willing to be married at once and face pover- ty together. But Jack is a practical young man and insists upon waiting. He is in New Hampshire just now, seeking contact with rich BIL! INGS, the wool king, who is planning to build a model village for his em- ployes. After the party, RITA MEL- NOTTE, Molly’s particular friend, asks her to spend the night with her. It is their last night in the dormitory. Rita tells Molly that she has some- thing important to tell her. Molly has begun to feel decidedly uncom- fortable about celebrating the death of the poor old aunt from whom she has inherited her $10,000. After her guests go, she joins Rita in her room.

If there are too many birds for the size of the colony houses summer shelters should be built. A summer shelter consists of a roof, sides and door covered with wire and with roosts on the inside runni from end to end. They provide shelter from storms and predatory animals, and can easily be moved to any de- sired location. LIBRARIAN TO TOUR Fargo, N.

But when you get older, and you have the things you’ve been dreaming about, why then you're happy.” “And you think your mother and father have captured all the dreams of theip youth?” Rita’s full red lips tr sted cynically. i ‘Well, of course they’re awfully simple people.” Molly flushed a little. “They’re the salt of the earth, and pillars of respectability. We own our little house. And Dad has a car, and he keeps hens. And mother has a lovely flower garden, and a vegeta- ble garden. And they've got a radio. And they go to the movies every Tuesday and every pase A My parents are exactly the sort of people that Mencken makes fun of.” Rita smiled. “I wonder if Mencken APP 7” she said. ‘Oh, Tdon't think so. I don’t think intellectual people are ever happy,” observed Molly. “But my goodness, I should think you'd be happy. Rita. I know if I was married to Jack, I'd be absolutely happy.” “That’s what you think,” inter- rupted Rita drily. “Well, my dear, I thought when going to be happy, too. And natur- TALENT got married, I was | me. INING EARL vice Ind ally I expected to make Bob happy. And what have I done? Just messed up everything!” She got up suddenly, and began to fold the crimson Coverlet. There were tears in Rita’s eyes. “For the love of Pete,” she exclaimed irritably, “get out that light, will you? I never knew anyone so slow in my life.” Molly put down the hair brush, and put out the light. “Snap out of it, Rita,” she advised. “You're all tired out, and you’re mak- ing mountains out of mole hills.” Molly knelt and said her prayers. “I didn’t know you said pray2rs,” observed Rita. Molly didn’t answer. “Do your father and mother say them?” pursued Rita. “I suppose so.” Molly was em- barrassed, “Well, T think that’s very nice,” approved Rita. “May:: that’s why they're so happy.” “Maybe,” acknowledged Molly. She was conscious herself of a very nice little warmth about her heart. “Why don’t you say some, Rita?” “Who? Me?” Rita yawned. “I don’t know any.” They lay side by side. The clock on the dressing table ticked with piercing clarity. Somewhere a bell rang. Two o'clock. A rooster crowed. And a man, with heavy tread, passed on the concrete walk beneath the window. ie Suddenly Rita tossed aside the sheet, and, kneeling, flung her arms passionately across the bed. Her hands fell heavily on Molly’s knees. And Molly kept her legs straight and stiff, and held her breath . . . while Rita prayed. After a while Rita got up, and walked to the window. She pushed the curtains aside, and stood there a long time, her tall, slim body silhou- etted like a boy’s against the moon- light. She spoke without turning. “I've been acting like a fool to- night,” she said. “We mzant to an- nounce our marriage as soon as I was graduated. Bu to anyone but you, Molly—Bob hasn’t earned a cent in six months. If we announce our marriage, his father will stop his allowance. And he says he'd die before he'd touch a cent of my earnings.” And Molly exclaimed warmly, “Oh, Rita, I’m sorry, dear. But you mustn’t let Bob get bitter. Nobody makes money right straight off. Goodness, Jack hasn’t a cent. Bob couldn’t tell this | ¢, jected Rita bitterly. “That's my tragedy! It isn’t the cooling kind. Now don’t be a little fool and gct sore because I've tried to save you a fall, my dear. Just keep your mind on that $10,000, that’s all.” see Molly had telegraphed Jack abes$ her legacy, and he wired rather for mal congratulations, adding that na her to dinner, and asking her to meet him at the station. She greeted him gaily. “Isn’t it wonderful, Sweetheart! Now we can. get married!” “Get married?” he repeated. how do you get that way?” do you think I am?” It was a wretched beginning, and so it turned out, as such things do, to be a wretched evening. They walked up the street in silence, and when they reached the wooded path that led to the inn, Molly shrugged away from his hand on her arm. Sud- denly she turned. “Oh, lordy, Jack, I forgot to ask \ about Ted Billings! Did you see him?” He shook his head. “The biggest chance of my life, Molly, and you forgot to ask me about it.” “Oh, I hadn't, Jack! I’ve been praying for it.” It might be more t..tful, she thought, to ask no questions. And so, presently, to change the subject, she was talking again about her legacy. “I'm going to take a room,” she announced, “and look for a job. I couldn’t do that when I didn’t have any money, because I knew Dad would stop my allowance. But now that I’ve funds of my own, it’s dif- ferent. Then we can pool our incomes and get married.” “What do you think I am2” he in- terrupted unreasonably. “A squaw man?” Molly shrugged coolly. “Rita said something last night,” she observed, arid I guess she was right.” “Rita’s a nut,” he pronounced. “Well, I guess she knew what she was talking about,” defended Molly. “She said that loads of men refuse to consider their wives’ earning power from an economic point of view.” “Oh, Rita and her modern talk!” he scoffed. “Anyhow, if men are like that, what are you going to do about it? Love is like that, too. I’ve tried to tell you how a man who lovés a girl feels about it. How he wants to take care of her... . But you won't understand.” _ “Oh, I understand all right,” in- sisted Molly. “Only I think it’s aw- 'ully si! And, listen, Jack—I've been thinking things over. You don’t want to marry me now, and I don't see any reason why I should be per- fectly miserable for a whole year, and goodness knows how much longer, just waiting for you. The Dean sent for me the other day, and she said the most wonderful things. She even offered me a position. “Well, I wouldn’t even think of accepting.” Molly’s voice broke. “Say, What ought to know that when a girl loves a boy, it doesn’t make any difference whether he has any money or not.” Rita turned fiercely. “But it does!’ she cried. “I love my happy, brilliant frustrated failu who's eating hi: heart, too..... e She drew the curtains together, shutting out the moon, and crossed the room to sit on the bed. “That's why I asked you to come here tonight,” she said. “To warn you against a marriage like mine. Companionate marriages is a trap, Molly. It sounds so big and free and brave. It perides for expressi: liberty, all that sort of thing. But it doesn’t think of the essentials. the sweet, simple, homey things. What has it done for me? It hasn’t given me tht tenderness of my beloved. It hasn’t even brought me comrade- ship.” “Lay off marriage, can’t you!” commanded Molly crossly. “Maybe your love for Bob has cooled.
