pROP IN VOLUME OF SWALL GRAINS SEEN BY FARMERS UNION Producers Are Not Harvesting All of Their Crops Because of Low Prices A considerable decrease in the vol- ume of wheat and other grains avail- able for marketing from Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana is i- cated as threshing of grains nears its end in the spring wheat area, the Farmers’ Union Terminal association said in its weekly review. “With rye and barley only 10 to 15 cents a bushel at many points and even less than that in western North Dakota and eastern Montana, on » basis of shipment to terminal mar- kets, producers realized that the har- vesting of such crops would not pay the threshing and labor costs, so have cut the grains for much needed feed.” the summary says. “ yields in many districts have been disappointing, around Forbes and Ellendale, N. D., and north cen- tral South Dakota durum and wheat have been running six to eight bush- els an acre and flax one to three bushels. 1 “Fairly heavy rains in many sec- tions of the northwest have further improved pastures and there is more feed for livestock with the result that there have been fewer distress ship- ments of cattle and sheep to market than had been expected. “AS @ result of drouth, however, there is very little grain for feeding in western North Dakota and east- ern Montana and large quantities will have to be shipped in. ‘ “In addition to cutting available grain crops for feed, considerable quantities of Russian thistle have been cut in drouth areas.” People’s Forum Editor’s Note.—The Tribune wel- comes letters on subjects of in- terest.

D., Sept. 8, 1931, Editor, Tribune: I think this is a splendid idea for any city the size of Bismarck. If this step were taken in Bismarck, the Red} Cross and other charitable societies wouldn't be called upon so frequently. A READER. Editor’s Note: The idea ‘referred to is contained in a clipping from a Chicago newspaper carrying a dis- | patch from Toronto. The text of the Toronto story follows: — Toronto, Sept. 5—A voluntary moratorium and campaign of “one job per fam- ily” are advocated by Toronto cits coungil as steps to relieve the unem- Ployment crisis. : While the Ontario government ts’ perfecting its plans. for the mobili- tation of “workless battalions,” which will be sent to northern Ontario for SS service in highway construction: and other undertakings, the city is pre- Paring to do its part toward meeting emergency conditions in the coming autumn and winter. Not only has the city served notice that it will employ no. married women whose hujzands are working, but it has carried this campaign a step farther and warned its male em- ployes that their wives must not seek employment elsewhere on penalty of the husbands forfeiting their poat- tions. “It must be ‘one job per family,’” Mayor Stewart has declared. “When @ husband has full time employment there is no excuse for his wife work- ing also. She is only depriving some other man, or some unmarried wom- an, of a position.” The city has also urged all loan and mortgage companies to extend credit to citizens who are in danger of losing their homes through mort- gage foreclosures. Wealthy private citizens are also being asked to lend money, at low interest rates, for this purpose. Ban on Non-Residents * Council has further ruled that non-residents, except in emergency cases, will not be retained in the city’s employ. Civic employes who now live outside the city have been given three months to move into the city or forfeit their positions, the only exemption made being in the case of those whose health requires them to live in the country. IT SOUNDS REASONABLE Burnstad, N. D., Editor, Tribune: Your editorial on taxation is the most cheering news I have read for some time. Then there is hope that such papers as the Bismarck Tribune will line up for economy and wise government regardless of whom it may hit, even though it be the stand- Ratters. All taxpayers regardless of former affiliations must join hands for a business administration. The little Temvik flour mill at Temvik, N. D,, is making the farmers thou- sands of dollars over the price of the state mill. They also pay taxes. Something is rotten. Sincerely yours, A READER. Four-H_ corn, potato and grain clubs in 22 counties of the state are proving valuable to farmers as a source of pure seed of the best varie- ties.
