This territory extends from Moun- trail county southeast through Mc- Intosh county and east to Richland county. Only seven to 10 per cent of seed- ing has been completed in the Doug- Jas to Sanish district, according to the reports, while from 50 to 75 per cent has been completed in the Ran- som-Hankinson district. Seeding in the Plaza-Sanish area has been delayed considerably by late receipt of seed loans, the railroad Teported. Only 10 per cent of the work has been completed in the Bismarck dis- trict. Percentages of seeding completed in areas along the Soo Line were re- Parted as follows: Drake to Bismarck 10 ‘except at ‘Washburn, Butte and Kief, where 30 Per cent has been done); Bismarck to Fredonia 10; Kulm to Cogswell 20 to 25; Forman 30; Danzig to Artas, S.

D., April 18—(P)— Chairmen of the seed loan committees of Williams and McKenzie counties Joined in sending messages to the North Dakota congressional delega- tion protesting the delay in issuing checks for seed loans, advising of im- mediate need of funds for seed and feed, and stating that farmers are being delayed in their seeding opera- tions because of delay incident to se- curing the numerous waivers required by the regulations of the department of agriculture. A review of the feed situation shows that only 16 cars of the cracked wheat contributed by the government from farm board holdings have been re- ceived, it was said, although 140 cars had been ordered for various parts of the county.

D., April 18.—)—Use of all vacant lots in Williston for) garden purposes is advocated by the Williston Garden club, which has se- cured the endorsement and promise cece apen tion by the Williston park. It was suggested that arrangements | be made to secure a vacant lot for each family that needed city aid last winter and that they be urged to raise their own supplies of vegetables. The Garden club announced that the annual flower show here will be held the second week in August. Must Make Requests For Trees Year Ahead, Bottineau, N. D., April 18.—(P)— Persons desiring trees from the state nursery for planting must submit their applications one year in advance be- cause of the heavy demand for nur- sery stock, John Taylor, extension forester, said here. Application blanks for broadleaf and evergreen trees for windbreaks or woodlot use supplied by the state nursery at a nominal cost are ob- tainable from the county agents or from the school of forestry at Bot- tineau.

Hundreds of recruits are likely to be added to the great army of gar- den growers this year, judging from! the number of requests made to the North Dakota Agricultural college for} information and assistance with gar- dening problems.

For- tunately, either a heavy, medium or light soil will make a good garden if plenty of well rotted manure is worked in. Fresh manure is not good but well rotted manure may be applied as heavy as 60 tons per acre to heavy, soils with benefit. In general, the following method of preparation will be found good. In the fall put a very heavy coating of manure, then disk it thoroughly. Plow the ground and let it lle rough over winter. Before planting in the spring disk very thoroughly and smooth down with a smoothing harrow. Then finish it off with a plank drag. Such treatment will make a heavy soil more porous and loose, but will make a sandy soil hold together better and hold moisture longer.

This fund is considered suf- ficient to pay all real estate bonds which will become due in the next few years.

These figures are exclusive of the workmen's com- pensation fund in the hands of the State treasurer, who acts as custodian. The cash balance includes $460,000 obtained as insurance for destruction of the old capitol building, and placed in the general fund.

Lar- son, music supervisor. Parents and friends packed the city auditorium and gave the production an enthusi- astic reception. Having the best time of anyone on the stage was Lorenzo Belk, who found in the role of the wise man opportunity for antics which brought many a laugh from the audience. The part of the dignified butler was handled well by Russell Saxvik, who demonstrated convincingly that an expressionless role may be turned into convulsing comedy. Another good actor was George Moses, who had the role of Alphonso, second son of the king. Walter Ulmer ;|gave a creditable performance as En- rico, the king’s youngest son. Carry Comic Roles David Davis and Iris Schwartz, in the comic roles of king and queen, catried two of the heavy singing parts and showed technique above the aver- the insurance money paid to the state for the building and contents. On April 1, 1930, the general fund con- tained $926,093.17, and on April 1, 1929, $995,929.17. A comparative statement of the state general fund, showing the Jan- uary 1, April 1, and July 1 totals from 1920 to 1932, follows: January 1 $316,898.10 191,803.20 age both in their solo and chorus numbers and in their acting. The dignified part of the Spanish ambassador was especially well por- trayed by Myron H. Anderson. An- derson and Belk were the only trained voices in the cast. Their baritone and bass solos were well received.
