THINKS N. D, FARMERS? POSITION FAVORABLE, WITH FUTURE BRIGHT Secretary Milloy Sees No Gen- eral Crop Shortage With Bal- anced Production an Aid Fargo, N. D., Aug. 9.—The position of the North Dakota farmer today is more favorable than at anytime dur- ing the past year, James S. Milloy, secretary of the Greater North Da- kota association, declared today in analyzing the farm situation. His statement is based on results of a survey made in cooperation with con- tacts in all sections of the state and an appraisal of the relationship of the nation-wide drought to farming + trends in this state. Highlights of the viewpoints ex- pressed in the statement are: Advantages accruing from current conditions of agriculture throughout the nation are going to be reflected during the next few years to North Dakota producers who have been working into a balanced type of pro- duction. There is no general feed shortage in North Dakota, no likelihood of any depletion of farm flocks or herds and every indication that North Dakota farmers will make substantial returns from finishing ther cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry. A few weeks ago there was a gap of about 12 cents between current but- terfat prices and the satisfactory prices of midsummer 1929; this week ” — this gap has been reduced to three or four cents and competent observers expect it to be entirely wiped out in the very near future.

Judge Fred Jansonius overruled the de- murrer, and the higher court affirmed the action of the district court. State officials plan to renew the action in the district court where the case will now be tried on its merits. The present case involved the ques- tion of procedure, the state claiming | the Ford Motor company had no cause | of action. Paid Under Protest It was contended by the Ford com- II pany that it had paid excessive in- come taxes due for the years 1921 and 1922, Litigation arose out of a dif- ference between the company and the tax commissioner in 1923 as to the proper basis of allocating or comput- ing the company’s income for tax- ation in North Dakota. It was alleged in the company’s complaint that income tax was paid for the years 1921 and 1922, but that the tax commissioner in 1923 made an additional assessment against it for the years 1921 and 1922, aggregating over $55,000. “Our four years of married life has On July 16, 1923, the company She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, her mother, Mrs. M.
