‘FINENESS OF FIBRE: _ WOOL GRADE TEST College Marketing Man Explains * Basis of Classification ' of Fleeces With the 1930 crop of wool in North Dakota harvested and now being « marketed, growers may be intgrested { in noting some of the points’ buyers are particular about and factors which are used as a basis for grad- ing. According to H. E. Selelstad, exten- sion marketing man of the Agricul- tural college, fleeces are graded large- fis the fineness and diameter of fiber. Other factors affecting the value of wool are waviness or crimp, strength, length of staple, elasticity, color, true- ness of fiber, luster and absence of kemp. Kemp refers to coarse wools containing white and dark brittle hairs which resist dyeing. Condition 4 18 also very important and refers to we of grease and dirt in the ‘woo! Wool shrinks in weight from 20 to 15 per cent when the grease and dirt are removed, fine wools usually shrinking more than coarse wool. On the. lower grades shrinkage would probably average 50 to 60 per cent and on the finer grades about 65 per cent. Combing, clothing and carpet are the three general wool classes in the clothing trade. Long staple wools of good quality are classed as combing, short wools suitable for clothing are in the second group while coarse and kempy wool are classed as carpet. Carpet and combing wools make up the bulk of the United States imports, being about 50 per cent and 43 per cent respectively. Under the new tariff bill passed in June, the tariff on wools for clothing purposes was advanced from 31 to 34 Pa cents per pound of clean content. The rate on imported wool rags was increased from 7% cents to 18 cents per pound. Carpet wools, very little of which is produced in this country, are duty free, except when this wool is to be used in making clothing. North Dakota has doubled her pro- ¢ duction of wool in the past five years, lelstad says. ‘Mott District Farms Need Rainfall Soon Mott, N. D., July 24—Cool weather with some local showers has im; the crop situation but it is spotted and some late crops are being cut for hay because of prospective poor yields, Some earlier sown fields are looking good, especially in parts which have been favored with local showers THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1930 Chicago, July 25.—(7)—The police last night walked in upon a strange scene in the cottage where Miss Dina Schreiner lived. Miss Schreiner, 55 years old, speech- Jess and deaf from lack of nourish- ment, lay on a bed, shrunk by starva- tion from a normal weight of 100 Pounds to 38. Seated, watching her, were her brother-in-law, Jacob Pfeif- fer, 78 years old, and her nephew, Jo- seph Shea, 37. An ambulance was called qnd the woman moved to a hospital. Shortly afterward she was dead. She had fasted so long that physi- cians dared give her only a mixture of milk and water, and even this was fed to her in a medicine dropper. Pfeiffer and Shea were ordered held. It was Shea who called. attention to the condition of his aunt, notifying at needed periods in growth. These fields are expected to give fair yields if weather until harvest continues favorable. The needed general rain has failed to materialize and much depends on the weather in the next 10 days. Rye and barley harves: is general in this district and some wheat will be cut within the coming week if weather continues hot and dry. There pears to be little demand for out- le harvest hands unless they are willing to work for the regular month- ly wage as the feeling here is that with? the reduction in yields and low prices, the farmer cannot afford to pay high harvest wages. Flax yield prospects steadily are growing less under the unfavorable weather conditions and yields will be materially reduced even though a general rain should bring moisture. Some late sown fields are very spotted and some will not yield crop enough to pay for the harvest. _ Corn is very promising and has sur- vived better under the heat and dry weather than other crops.

Miss Schreiner, when found, was too weak to talk or even to signify by mo- tions the reason for her failure to eat. The two men with her said she had not eaten for weeks and had refused to heed all their entreaties to take: nourishment. No charge will be made against Pfeiffer or Shea pending a verdict by @ coroner’s jury. Pfeiffer told police she had recently been paroled as cured from the state hospital for the insane at Elgin. Police displayed interest in reports sumed to have had in a savings ac- count had been spent while she lay starving.

Fessenden Forced to Increase Fair Space Fessenden, N. D., July 25—With exhibits being greater in number than ever before, officials of the Wells County fair here found it necessary to erect additional livestock pens. Entries in this department alone numbered 455, with junior club mem- bers exhibiting 72 head. The poultry department had 666 entries. The women's building and the club build- ing were filled to capacity with ins dividual, school, and 4-H club ex- hibits. KING UPHOLDS TRADITION London, July 25.—)—Never has the annual royal garden party at Buckingham Palace been canceled | because of rain. At the latest one the king and queen and the guests carried umbrellas and wore raincoats. GOOD RAIN IS WORTH $17,000,000 AN INCH Weather Man of United States Bureau Computes Value on Basis of Crops Computing on the basis of average prices for the past 10 years of North Dakota crops, J. B. Kincer, weather man of the United States Department of Agriculture, says one good rain anytime from May to August has been not a “million dollar” rain but a $17,-" 000,000 rain. The weather bureau has the records of rain fall for the state month by month during the growing season, and the records of crop yields are also available. With this information Mr. Kincer is able to figure out just how | much one inch of rainfall means to- ward bigger crops. Using the rainfall records from | May to July, he found that one inch of rainfall in North Dakota produces about 6,000,000 bushels of oats, nearly ‘$00,000 bushels of barley, nearly 1,000,- 000 bushels of potatoes, more than a half million bushels of flaxseed, about 9,000,000 bushels of wheat and more than 125,000 tons of hay, to say noth- ing of truck, garden and other crops.
