THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1980 Another Pure Seed Campaign Being Put on to Reduce Grain Losses ‘TWO EXPERT CREWS TO TOUR STATE ON, SHUT AND DOCKAGE: Meetings With Growers Will Emphasize Wheat, Flax, Bar- ley and Oats Varieties EXTENDS G. N. D. A. DRIVE College, Railroads, U. S. Agri- cultural Department and Other Agencies Back It Grain losses are to be further warred against. The sources of loss are down-grading, dockage, smut and unmarketable varieties, The fight is being carried on by the Greater | North Dakota association, the exten- sion division of the Agricultural col- lege with the special assistance of Dr. E. G. Booth, extension agronomist, and county extension agents, the fed- eral grain grading division of the United States Department of Agri- culture, and the Northwest Crop Im- provement association. Railroads, seedsmen and groups of local com- mitteemen over North Dakota are al- so backing the work. The crews of expert seedsmen will carry the program into a majority of the state's 53 counties between now and the first of April, meeting with grain growers at several points in each county to discuss ways and ; means of curbing the annual flow of losses from dockage and down-grad- ing of grain produced in this state. Each of the crews will consist of two men from the Greater North Dakota association and one from the grain grading division. In all counties hav~ ing extension agents these officials , Will also have a part in the programs. Standard Varieties Urged Recommending the seeding of only standard varieties of grain, leaving the experiments witi untried varie- ties to agricultural and seed special- ists, the grain crews, which are to -carry on the work, are urging specific varieties of each grain grown for cash or feed crops. Grain growers in each community visited are urged to bring in samples of any high grade seed they may possess in order that it may ssbe given-a free test for purity prior | ‘ to the hour of the meeting. Standard varieties recommended by the asso- ciation, some of these for specific sec- tions of North Dakota only, are: Mar- quis and Ceres wheat; Mindum and Kubanka durum; Bison, Buda and Linota flax; Gopher and Victory! oats; and Trebi, Manchuria and Han- nehen barley. eo Water Nicki Mrom Pure Seed Sampies of field inspected grain certified by the North Dakota pure; seed laboratory will be exhibited, and | grain growers given an opportunity to purchase quantities of any variety at cost for the seeding of a secd field. Dr. Booth has exemined and ap- Proved all lots of seed which are car- ried by the grain crews. County ex- | tension agents are urging the drill- ing of seed fields from which farmers may produce enough sced to care for their entire ‘31 cash crop acreage.

A similar type of work was carried on by the association last | year, entering about 35 counties, and the demand from these areas that | such a@ campaign be resumed has re- sulted in the doubling of the person- | nel, the agricultural chairman de-| clares. The schedules for the two crews during the month of January were announced today, showing the date and hour of meetings, together with the name of the local man in each town who will act as chairman of the gathering. All meetings are free and grain growers are urged to attend one or more. The Crew Schedule The schedule follow January 2, Cleveland, A. Michel. January 3, Medina, 2 p. m., Charles E. Shrawder.

A. Olsness, state insur- ance commissioner. Although final figures are not }shown in the report, it is estimated | that the total assets of the fund, with all liabilities paid, are in excess of ' $1,363,290.88, During the year the fund collected $483,790.63 in premiums and $25,065.04 in interest on its bank balance. It spent $17,366.41 on claims for losses; $145,914.98 on premiums for excess in- surance; ¢1,106.43 in adjusting loss claims and $5,790.90 for operating costs. Three things contributed to make the fund’s income during 1929 the , largest in its history. They were that policies were written and premiums) collected for a two-year period on | most of the $30,000,000 worth of pub- lic property insured; the fact that the loss of only $17,366.41 was the smallest total since 1921 and repre- ;Sents the smallest loss ratio in the life of the fund; and the fact that a/ discount from regular rates granted / by companies accepting reinsurance contracts represented a saving of $52,111.61 on approximately $9,000,000 of business placed with such compa- nies. The most notable thing about the year’s business, Olsness said, was that jinterest collected on the fund’s money enabled it to pay all losses and meet the general expenses of the depart- ment. Interest collections totaled $25,865.04 and the total of losses and expenses was $24,263.74. Appointment of losses to companies having reinsurance was very small. The department paid $145,914.98 in reinsurarce premiums for a two-year period and received in claims for losses $2,620.84. This, Olsness said, again proves that the reinsurance feature of the fire and tornado fund |law is expensive to the fund. —_—__—___—__——~ | AT THE MOVIES 1 PARAMOUNT THEATRE ‘Mysterious Island” which comes to the Paramount theatre for Friday | received the following comment from a reviewer for the Film Daily of New York: “Film fans everywhere ought to wel- come this one if for no other reason than that it is off. the beaten path. Based on the Jules Verne novel and produced in color on a big scale, it ‘depicts the launching of the first submarine by the scientists of a color- ful island nation. Political treachery, warfare on sea and on land, the ro- “ lalier county; ous spectacle that is intensely en- grossing. With Lionel » Lloyd Hughes and Montague Love in the cast, the excellence of the acting goes without saying. And there is a new face, Jane Daly, who shapes up @s great dramatic material.” With a basis of fantastic adventure, romance and marvelous undersea Photographic effects, “Mysterious Island” furnishes the unusual in sound screen entertainment. The pic- ture is part talking with synchroniz- ed music and sound accompaniment. CAPITOL THEATRE An eye and ear feast par excellence! Such is the treat in store for pa- trons of the Capitol theatre where Radio Pictures’ all-talking, all-mu- sical extravaganza, “Rio Rita” opened its engagement yesterday with Bebe Daniels and John Boles in the out- standing roles. Harry Tierney’s music, as written for the stage production of “Rio Rita” and the book by Cuy Bolton and Fred ‘Thompson, never were more ably pre- sented than by such players as Miss Daniels, Mr. Boles, Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey, Dorothy Lee, Helen Kaiser, Don Alvarado, Georges Ren- vent and the 200 others in the cast. Bebe Daniels is a revelation to “Rio Rita” audiences. She has built her following on portrayal of silent roles, but now she blossoms ‘orth as a vocalist of exceptional merit and easily holds her own with John Boles, lending man, who has had years of training on the operatic stage. HONORS TO BE PAID BND.
