Stone, in a letter to State Senator F. J. Wilmer, of Rosalia, Wash., said the problem's solution and higher prices lay in individual effort toward smaller crops. He held as impractical control measures which are conting- ent upon participation under contract ci 75 per cent of the growers. ‘Wilmer, an official of the North Pacific Grain Frowers Cooperative association, had advanced a proposal entailing financial aid and moral support of the board. It encompassed nation-wide campaign to obtain control of the next three crop sur- pluses and to limit acreage in 1932 and 1933 by a sign-up of at least 75 per cent of the farmers in a surplus control association —— a three-year ship contract. a ailines Board's Attitude The chairman Kass the board's titude in these words: atiwe believe it would be impossible, even with intensive efforts, to get enough farmers to cooperate under the proposed contracts to give the plan a fair chance of success. A uni+ form nation-wide contract for sur- plus-control or acreage reduction would be appropriate under wide- yy “uNverke 6 ae conditions. “whatever benefits the plan might yield would go most heavily to those farmers who did not share in its ob- ligations. ‘There is no assurance that it actually would yield the majority of signers better returns for their wheat than they will otherwise get.

At a meeting Thursday night, J. L. DEATH OF BELASCO MOURNED OVER U. §. BY THEATRE LOVERS Grand Old Man of Stage Is Stricken Thursday Afternoon in New York City CONTEMPORARIES LAUD HIM ‘| Am Fighting for My Life,’ He Said Dramatically Shortly Before Death New York, May 15—(#)—The thea- trical world was in mourning Friday for David Belasco, grand old man of the stage, creator of stars, wizard as Girector and producer. In his 77th year, he died of heart disease Thursday after virtually a fetime devoted to the stage. “I shall retire when I am carried feet first out of the theatre,” he said on his 75th birthday. He never did retire and there was a dramatic touch to his death. “I am fighting for my life,” he said as his daughter Reina, Mrs. Morris Gest, went to his bedside a moment before the end. True to the Belasco tradition, his latest play “Tonight or Never” went on as usual Thursday night. Mr. Belasco was stricken but a few hours before his death. Apparently recovered from pneu- monia which kept him a bed several months last winter, earlier this week he reserved eight tickets for the fights Friday night in Madison Square Garden. Bell, Mrs. W. E. Perry and H. F. God- dard were named members of a cam- mittee to conduct a ballot to deter- mine Bismarck’s official flower. The first ballot appears at the end of this story and Tribune readers are asked to fill it out and mail it to H. P. God- dard, secretary of the Association of Commerce by May 25. The idea of the contest is to induce ‘Bismarck residents to concentrate tar’ growing the city’s official flower and to plant it in conspicouous places in order that the attention of visitors may be attracted to it. Members of the committee suggest- ed that it would be best to have an annual flower rather than one of the perennial type because of tne fact that annuals are easier to get into production and usually are much less expensive, With the average annual @ 10-cent package of seed will enable the average home-owner to make a fair showing. It was emphasized, however, that this suggestion is not a limitation and citizens are free to vote for any flow- er they wish. Another suggestion was that the petunia be barred from the ballot. Minot has chosen this flower as its official floral emblem and it was agreed that Bismarck hardiy would wish to copy after its neighboring city. Entries in the Yard and Garden contest will close June 1, Mrs. Henry Duemeland, president of the cuib, an- nounced. She reminded members that this is the last year of the contest be- gun in 1929 and that at the close of this season three grand prizes for out- standing improvements on a three- year basis will be made. Other awards will be for 1931 only. Contest entries will be divided into three classes. Those eligible for class one are those gardens in which all the | work is done by the owner or mem- bers of his immediate family. Those in class two are persons who hire| workers for the manual labor but do/ the planning of the garden and much of ité care themselves. In class three | will be those entries who employ the| services of an expert gardener or landscape artist. ‘Two papers were read at the meet- ing Thursday night. Mrs. C. L. Young presented one on window boxes, hanging vases and urns. For these she recommended geraniums, pe- tunias, German ivy and drooping ferns, She suggested brilliantiy col- ored flowers for stucco and frame houses, while for. brick or other dark- er colored houses flowers wit) pale blossoms were best, she said. Mrs. Dullam offered suggestions and in- structions on the planting and care of |back-yard living rooms, especially the arrangements of pergolas, trellises and garden furniture to achieve both beauty and utility.

Governor W. H. Murray, in an- nouncing plans for state action against the companies, predicted the ultimate result would be a fair gas rate and that it would be obtained “several years quicker” than under present proceedings before the state corporation commission. Leon 8. Hirsh, attorney who ap- peared against the Oklahoma Natural Gas corporation, one of the nine named by Murray in a rate hearing this week, was appointed by the gov- ernor to file the suits in state courts. He said at least 10 days would be re- quired for preparation. Murray asserted “certain corpor- ations” had violated state laws by creation of a monopoly, by the main- tenance of unlawful rates and charges, and otherwise, “which acts have subjected such corporations to the cancellation and forfeiture of their licenses and charters and right ther subjected them to certain pen- sities, charges and forfeitures to the state.” Mahatma Gandhi to Attend Conference Simla, India, May 15.—(?)—Mahat- ma Gandhi, leader of the Ind‘an Na- tionalists, who boycoted the first round table conference, Friday for- mally agreed to go to London to par- ticipate in the second Indian round table conference next November. meet committee in the middle of Septem- ber.
