‘ ES ND. WHEAT, OATS, [Roosevelt Trip Is HAY AND POTATOES | SHOWING DECREASE) sa Corn, Barley, Flax and Alfalfa Either Unchanged or Bettered Oct. 1, Spring wheat, oats, potatoes and all tame hay show further decreases in production, since Sept. 1st, based on Oct. Ist yield indications, while corn, barley, flax and alfalfa, either show no thange, or have improved according to the Oct. 1 report of the federad statistician for North Dakota. Threshing returns show that the grain crops are not turning out as Well as indicated by the earlier con- itions, There was a heavy growth of straw, which promised better than average production, but grain did not always fill well and quality was not always up to expectations. Durum was more severly damaged by rust this year than any of the hard wheat varieties. Some fields lcdged so badly, due to weakened Straw, that harvesting was difficult. The preliminary yield of durum wheat is placed at 9.5 bushels, in- dicating a production of 26,932,000 bushels, as compared with 11,127,000 bushels a year ago, and with 50,261,- 000 bushels the five-year average. Some abandonment of the planted acreage also is indicated. Other spring wheat shows a de- cline in yield of 2-10 of a bushel since Sept. lst. The crop is estimated to be 79,338,000 bushels, compared with a five-year average production of 72,339,000 bushels. The estimated production of all spring wheat is about 16 million bushels below the five-year average, Per acre yields of both oats and barley as estimated on Oct. Ist are below the five-year average. The yleld of oats is placed at 21 bushels per acre, indicating a crop of 44,- 415,000 bushels as compared with a five-year average of 54,599,000 bushels, A barley yield of 17 bushels indicates a total production of 42,- 806,000 bushels which is over 5 bil- lion bushels above the five-year average, due to an acreage consider- ably above the average. Flax, for the fourth year in suc- cession, is @ poor crop. Grasshopper damage reduced the yield somewhat in almost every field, but drought caused the greatest damage. Stands were thin in many late planted fields, and growth in these was further re- tarded by the shortage of moisture during July and August. Reports in- dicate that a portion of the acreage Was never harvested. The estimated production of 4,620,000 is 1,099,000 bushels larger than last year, but 5,710,000 bushels below the five-year average, The production of potatoes is esti- mated to be 8,800,000 bushels, only slightly above last year's crop, when the acreage was 29 per cent smaller than this year's planted area. The yield this year is likely to be the low- est recorded since 1919. Hay production is not so good as earlier conditions indicated. The dry Weather caused second crop alfalfa to be a near failure and late plant- ed_annual hays also were very poor. Pastures picked up following the rains Aug. 22, but later dry weather proved too much of a handicap and condition on Oct. 1 was no better than a month ago, -when it was re- ported to be 49 per tent of normal. Seasonal declines in milk and egg Topeuerieg have occurred since Sept, st. Sugar Beet Receipts Larger This Season Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 13.—(?)— Receipts of sugar beets here this week have run from 65 to 70 cars a day, Approximately 10 per cent heavier than a year ago, according to railway officials. Potato loadings however were far lighter than in 1931, due to the de- Pressed condition of the potato mar- Ket, dealers here said. Loadings on the Dakota division of the Great Northern averaged 25 to 30 cars of potatoes this week as compared with several times that number of previous years at this season of the year. > Et EEE PARA Oe HI TRB | Richmond oO By MARTHA BOSSERT Mr, and Mrs. Bill Melhoff and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wagner and daugh- ter, Violet, were Sunday visitors at the G.

We found it well worth while. St. Augustine, the old- est city in the U. S., has an old world charm that shall linger long in our memories. Located 40 miles southeast of Jacksonville, this old city is reached by rail, motor, bus or chartered car from Jacksonville. Here it is that. Ponce de Leon found his long lost fountain of | youth, or so at least it appeared to him. The “fountain of youth” is, of course, the first objective of all visitors, This is really an old-fash- joned well now covered by a quaint stone structure. Close by the foun- tain is the cross which, according to \ tradition, was set in the earth by Ponce de Leon himself. It contains |15 stones running north and south | with a cross bar of 13 stones. The | stones in the cross—15 and 13, are ;Said_ to represent the year 1513, | Marking the time of his finding the spot.

There have been lots of coat sales for $19.95 or there- abouts. What we want you to observe is the quality of the coats we are offering in this group. That is news. Imagine these rich, luxurious furs, fine T fragrant musky odor permeating the whole place. Nearby are well-kept gardens of flowers where the scarlet hibiscus and dainty bougainvillea hold forth in colorful array. Looking around the city we found the old slave market. It is in the public square, at one time the scene of many a heartache, it is now taken over by elderly gentlemen, who find it a shelter from the sun and a con- venient place to drowse or play checkers. Going on, we came up with the oldest house in the U. 8., built in 1600. We did not have time enough to accept the invitation to visit, pro- offered by an old lady who sits at the door, fanning herself. Venturing farther, we saw the Ponce de Leon hotel, erected by the late Henry M. Flagler. It is a mag- nificent red brick building occupy- ing three full blocks and surrounded by luxuriant tropical flowers of all Kinds, Just beyond is the Flagler memory of Henry M. Flagler, builder of the Florida East Coast Railway and the state's most munificent benefactor. Our visit to St. Augustine would not have been complete without see- ing Fort Marion, built by the Span- jards in 1600. It still stands as it did originally and commands a magnificent view of Matamzas Bay, on which the city is located. There are the usual parapets with small cannon peering through apertures in the walls, a watch tower, dungeons, instruments of torture and other gruesome relics of early days. Its massive walls are of coquina, a coral rock found only in Florida. Time did not permit us a longer —_—_—_——_—_—_ What will Gambles do next!
