DROP OR $53,000,000 Flax, Potatoes and Alfalfa Seed Alone Exceed Valuation of Prior Year the three crops showing an valuation in 1929 over 1928. North Dakota’s 1929 spring wheat crop is valued at ninety-one million dollars, on the basis of the December first farm price. In 1928 a total crop 66 value of only 38 per cent greater. December preliminary estimates of 1929 crop production show in:reases in the production of wheat, oats, flax, potatoes and all tame hay and decreases in corn, barley, rye and buckwieat as compared with the October™and November estimates. These changes are due largely to re- visions in acreage based on more and comprehensive data than are available in June when the 24,426,000 bushels produced in 1928. Late seeded corn was hard hit. Ger- mination was uneven, causing light stands, and growth was greatly re- tarded by deficient soil moisture. The estimated production represents the Grain equivalent of all ‘corn wnether grown for grain or for other purposes. Durum wheat production is esti- mated to be 37,075,000 bushels com- Pared with 77,250,000 bushels, the re- vised 1928 production. Other spring wheat production is 56,321,000 bushels. This is 21,787,000 bushels below the revised production estimate of 1928. ‘The spring wheat production in 1929 is estimated to be 93,396,000 bushels as * to 155,358,000 bushels years ago 1928. ‘The December estimate of oats pro- duction is for a crop somewhat larger [ Seeks to Divorce Perfume Magnate e 1 i} ' | @ e----—-—— In a suit for divorce which Mrs. Woodworth, pictured above, has filed at West Palm Beach, Fla., Chauncey Clark Woodworth, wealthy perfume manufacturer, is charged with “pub- licly humiliating” his wife.

Speaking before the American farm Economic association, Legge said lack ; of concerted action was a major | handicap to the formation and work- ing of farm cooperatives, In his address he sketched the Policies of the board, emphasizing its work with cooperatives in the mar- keting of various types of farm prod- ucts. Joseph S. Davis, chief econo- mist of the farm board, was another ‘speaker, Legge said that by reduction of “haphazard” shipping, the California citrus growers had advanced th? con- of that industry from a situation Plorable as any today” to a point where “comfortable,” if not “exorbi- tant” profits were being made. Agriculture has not learned the danger of overproduction. he said, ex- Plaining that industrial eoncerns had analyzed the demands for their prod- ucts and reduced output when con- sumer demand slowed up, while the farmer was not able to detect this situation. Davis said there was “some danger that cooperative movements may be swelled by new members and new organizations lacking the spirit of St. Paul, Dec.

The Nebraskan blamed “politics” in the enforcement service for what he described as the “failure” of enforce- ment. When asked where he would start in reorganizing he replied quick- ly “with Andrew W. Mellon.” “I don't say the law is not enforced everywhere,” said Norris, who 1s chairman of the judiciary committee, “but I do say it is not generally en- forced and I think there is evidence that the politicians are meddling too much.

Traders Not Disturbing The farm board chairman said ob- Jections or opposition on the part of “old line traders” in certain commod- ities were not disturbing. “They are not disturbing at all,” he repeated. “The real question as to how far this work may go and how successful it is going to be is not based on what mer figure. “The interests of the government require,” McCarl said in part, “that there be no increase by way of cor- rection or alteration in the total amount claimed on a voucher, unless such correction or alteration be made by the claimants and then only in the form of a new voucher for the correct ‘August estimate amount claimed.” the preliminary which was 8,746,000 bushels, due to a Having spent considerably more reductiot than 11 cents in stamps and station- The 1929 paneer 3,415,000 ner jery in correspondence over the mat- crop of 14,278,000 bushels.
