D., Oct. 22.—Growing lambs on the wheat stubble is one way in this year of low grain prices to keep the farm out of the red, Her- man Thorson, state senator of tue oth North Dakota district, has found. ‘At present he and his son Elbert, ‘who is in partnership with his father in the farming business near Bucy- rus, have 530 lambs running in the wheat and rye stubble. They bougut them in the west and turned tuem into the fields in September to rustle their own feed and, incidentally, clear up the weeds. “They are doing fine,” said Senator ‘Thorson, “gaining a pound a day. If they bring eight cents on the market that would mean $42.50 per day, and if the price should raise it would be more. They have picked their feed #o far, and it has been feed that would otherwise have gone to was! Homesteaded 22 Years Ago ‘Twenty-two years ago Mr. and Mrs. ‘Thorson came from Houston, Juinne- sota, to homestead land near Bucy- rus. Aside from their household ef- fects, their possessions were limited to two horses, two mules ond two cows. Now they own 1490 acres, have @ fine set of farm outldings, ccnsid- erable livestock, three tractors, two automobiles, truck and combine, and ‘Mr. Thorson is in the senate as rep- resentative of Adams, Hettinger and Sioux counties. Of the 1400 acres he owns, Senator ‘Thorson and his son had 1160 acres in crop this year, 600 of it in wheat, 200 in rye and 360 in flax. “Our wheat averaged 12 bushels to the acre,” said Senator Thorson, “and the rye ‘went 36 bushels to the acre. The flax was badly damaged by hail, and yielded only 2% bushels to the acre. Hail insurance, however, will take care of the loss. We thought our yield was pretty good for such a dry year, but prices of covrse are way down.” To get around the poor prices, Sen- ator Thorson and his son in Ausust hauled half their grain fron the fieid to the elevator and sold it at once at threshing time. ‘The other 4,000 bushels they have in storage in the granaries. Will Feed 2,000 Lambs They are making plans at present to feed around 2,600 lambs next year. They expect, Senator Thorson stated, to put in 160 acres in alfalfa, 50 acres in speltz, 50 acres in barley, 50 «res in oats and 160 acres in corn. The rest of their plowed land which with the addition of another quarter sec- tion they have bought this month is about 800 acres, will be secded to wheat and rye. “In July we expect to go cut west and buy lambs weighing aivund 40 pounds,” said Senator Thorson. “We will put them in the wheat and rye stubble in August as soon as we have threshed. We'll run them in the stubble about six weeks, until tney grow frame enough to make 80-pound Jambs. Then we'll turn them into the corn and let them hog that down, which should take about three weeks. After that we will put them in feed lots for six to seven weeks, and give them a mixed ration of speltz, oariey, alfalfa hay, oats fed in the sheaf, and maybe some wheat too, if we dec.de it will be good for them. We may buy |t@na. some alfalfa hay also.” Keeps Weeds Out With Crops eee cee pone ote ver in summer fallowing as means of clearing land of the wild oats, which has become such a det- ximent to agriculture in some places in western North Dakota.

St. Paul, Oct. 22.—Notwithstanding the drouth of late summer, the pro- duction of combined spring and durum wheat in the Northwest was 4,612,000 bushels more than in 1929, while corn output declined 46,758,000 bushels, the Farmers Union Terminal assoication reports. “In every state except Montana there was an increase in total wheat output,” the review, based on a com- pilation of the latest state and gov- ernment crop reports, says. “The to- tal spring wheat area output in Min- nesota, the Dakotas and Montana fell far below the average, however. How the yields have declined is shown by Montana figures, where the produc- tion exceeded 80,000,000 bushels in 1928, was 40,000,000 in 1929 and only 33,000,000 this year. “The wheat figures by states in bushels: Spring wheat Durum wheat 271,160,000 x-5,658,000 +126,077,000 57,754,000 1929 - 96,922,000 93,396,000 34,831,000 26,931,000 18,660,000 16,796,000 . 33,418,000x-40,098,000 Totals....... 188,831,000 179,219,000 x-ineludes winter wheat in, Mon- Totals.......

At that time he owed less than four billions of dollars—to- day he owes approximately 15 billions of dollars. “The war debt of the Allies to the United States at the close of the war was between nine and ten billions of dollars. This sum was so great that the interested nations agreed that the debtor nations could not pay it, so the debt was reduced one-half so that they might be able to pay. “Those debtor nations embraced 150,000,000 people—so here is the problem: If 150,000,000 people can not pay ten billions of dollars, how can 27,000,000 famers pay 15 biliion dol- lars? “Our federal government has seen WAR COST FARMERS MORE THAN ALLIES’ DEBT, MORRIS SAYS Attorney General Analyzes Aft- ermath of World Conflict at Rugby Dedication Rugby, N.
