Premature ripening of grain is re- ported from throughout the state, al- though the greatest complaint comes from the territory west of the Red river valley where rainfall has been somewhat deficient during the past three weeks or more. Crops seeded late and on spring plowing are gen- erally very poor, and if dry, hot weather continues, abandonment of such fields is likely to be extensive. Early flax fields are showing good promise, as was true last year, but late fields will require exceptionally favorable conditions to reach matur- ity and producé @ crop. Corn has made rapid growth as a result of the ‘warm weather and condition has im- proved since July 1. Potatoes quite generally show a good appearance and growth, though occasional stands lack uniformity. Reports to the statistician’s office indicate a rather general need of moisture, with the central and south central portions the driest, and the north central and northeast best sup- plied with moisture. Rye harvest has begun in the south- east and central districts, but the crop quite generally shows a thin stand, although the fill is good. Some barley has been harvested in the ter- ritory around Jamestown. Very little wheat rust is reported trom any part of the state. An above normal infection was noted in the Carrington area, but the crop here is now too far advanced to suffer any material damage. Hail damage to date is not as ex- mnsive as last year, according to re- ers. Pastures and hay crops are ‘ibging ground as a rc.ult of the dry eather, and second growth alfalfa itside of the valle: is decidedly * Cattle and sheep are still in good Nesh, but some decline is likely unless rainfall occurs and improves the food supply. SHAFER’S AID ASKED IN CURBING TOY GUN California Foundation Wants Dangerous Gifts Taken Off Christmas List An appeal to Governor George F. Bhafer to aid in a national crusade to discourage the giving of children’s Christmas toy guns and other weap- ons, has been made by the Latham Foundation of Oakland, Calif. In its request to the governor, the foundation states that it is “essential for the further promotion of peace to remove such toys from children which seek to inculcate in their minds all thoughts suggestive of the fallacious glory of war and armed combat.” The foundation, organized to pro- mote the interests of humanitarian- e Crops Those Seeded Late on Spring Plowing Says Report ism and universal kindness to all liv- ing creations, is asking every governor in the United States as well as hun- dreds of federal officials to lend their support to the movement. “The thoughtless habit of giving children at Christmas guns and other weapons of destruction is also re- | sponsible for the slaughtering of thou- sands of useful birds and animals, ex- tensive damage to private property and the sacrifice of many human lives as recorded in the daily press,” says the request to Governor Shafer. “In one California locality the havoc wrought has been so extreme that the town authorities have start- ed a campaign against the use of air- guns, slingshots and other weapons | of the younger generation, and this \instance is typical of innumerable others. | “We are therefore making a special | appeal to you and to the governors of the 48 states and others to cooper- ate with us in the instituting of a gunless Christmas for 1930, which will better express the spirit of that sea- son in discouraging the purpose to hurt and kill. “Anticipating thus early the Christ- mas trade purchasing we look most hopefully to the cooperation also of all American merchants who, substi- tuting the innumerable constructive articles fully as appealing to children, need fear no hardship whatever to their 1930 Christmas stock.” The foundation plans also to ask President Hoover to give his endorse- ment to the movement. BETTER STOCKY ARDS ORDERED BY STATE ‘Railroad Cornission Says They Should Be Based on Their Own Business Improvement of stockyards at Starkweather, N. D., has been order- ed by the State Railroad Commission. The action was taken following con- sideration of a petition filed by the Ramsey County Live Stock associa- tion, which requested improvements be made. The commission found that “the stockyards of the Farmers Grain and Shipping company at Starkweather are inadequate to satisfactorily handle the business offered.” “Water supply should be furnished immediately, either by well and pump at the yard, or the Great Northern paying for water hauled,” the com- mission order said. “Yards should be increased by the addition of at least one pen of standard size 24 by 48; pens should be provided with sheds at least 16 feet wide; feed racks and water troughs should be placed in all pens, and piping arranged so water may be supplied to all pens. “Arrangements should also be made for keeping the yards clear of snow on shipping days. Improvements shonld be completed not later than October 1, 1930.” While business on all the North- j western railroads has fallen off con- siderably the past year, sald‘the com- mission order, stock shipments from Starkweather increased. “We are of the opinion that stock shipping facilities should be based up- on stock shipping and not upon some other industry, which may be de- creasing,” the railroad commission or- der stated.
