CONTINUE “from page one: D Willson Succeeds Judge Christianson As N. D. FERA Head Christianson was named early in November as civil works administrator for North Dakota. He became the head of the federal emergency relief committee, and subsequently, on re- moval of William Langer as adminis- trator for North Dakota, he was en- trusted with the task of taking charge of all federal relief work in the state. In all his relief activities, Christ- fanson served without compensation. His associates called attention that it actually cost the judge money to per- form his duties. The Judge used his own automobile for transportation without charge to the federal relief administration, and otherwse paid for personal incidental expenses. Edmunds said that he and Hopkins “conspired” to prevent Christianson from resigning on several occasions when the judge protested that his judicial duties demanded his atten- tion. Burned Midnight Oi! From early morning, Judge Christ- janson worked practically every day of the week until midnight and later, handling intricate details of relief. ‘Those who knew him were accustomed to look for the light that burned almost every night in Christianson’s office on the 16th floor of the state cepitol building. The severe physical strain was apparent, and friends often admonished him to “slow up.” When he was asked to become CWA administrator, Judge Christianson re- fused. He was informed by Hopkins that the federal government planned to withdraw relief funds from North Dakcta because of dissatisfaction in Washington with the set-up as it ex- isted then. Christianson was urged by Hopkins to take the position. Hopkins said if the judge would not serve it would take two or three weeks before a set- up could be perfected that would re- establish relief in North Dakota. Christianson consented to serve with the assurance there would be no break in the flow of relief funds avilable to North Dakota. It was his first connection with the relief set-up and he began to serve without THE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE. _WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1934 often stretched beyond North Dakota, thern Pacific. Edmunds revealed.

A report of the judge’s views, to- gether with the discussion that fol- lowed at the Omaha meeting was made by Edmunds to Hopkins. Out of that report grew the drouth relief program inspired by Judge Christ- janson, Edmunds said. Willson Has Good Background Willson has been close to the prob- lems of the soil for many years. For the last three months he has served as assistant to Judge A. M. Christianson’s federal emergency re- lief administration. After several years service as agri- cultural agent for the Northern Pa- cific railroad, working principally in western North Dakota and eastern Montana, Willson became Cass county agent in 1916, a position which he held for three years. In 1919, he took over the supervision of county agent work in the extension division of the North Dakota Agri- cultural college at Farg>. Three years lster he became agricultural econo- mist in the experiment station at the college, doing research work in rural; hfe studies. This work occupied nim until he was called to Bismarck upon his ap- pointment as director of the federal Stock-relief distribution in this state, a branch of the emergency relief ad- ministration. Early in April he was appointed by Judge Christianson to aid in the work of administering relief, devoting him- self to the task of handling details of the regular relief administration. Born at Boteman, Mont. Willson was born at Bozeman, Mont., 49 years ago. He took the agricultural course at Michigan col- lege, graduating in 1907 The next year he was in charge of a herd of purebred show cattle of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co., after which he went to the Bitter Root stock farm at Hamilton, Mont. a 16,000 acre ranch, as foreman of the dairy cattle department. In 1910, he was assistant agricul- tural agent under Prof. Thomas Shaw who was agricultural agent for both the Northern Pacific and Great Nor- thern railways. In 1911-12 Willson was assistant agricultural agent for compensation, as he has since. The judge's influence in relief work both the railways and in 1913 was made agricultural agent for the Nor- If you want safe relief from Constipation Science says Today use a LIQUID Laxative 1. Regulate intestinal action gently—no“purging” 2. Measure dose to suit your individual needs 3. Avoid Bowel Fatigue and the laxative habit Harsh laxatives often drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and in some cases even affect the liver and kidneys. A doctor will tell you that the ‘unwise use of harsh laxatives often does more harm than good. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to the use of laxatives in liquid form. _A properly prepared liquid laxa- tive brings a perfect movement. There is no discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You don’t have to take “a double dose” a day or two later. In buying any laxative, always read the label. Not the claims, but the contents. If it contains doubtful drugs, don’t take it. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a prescriptional preparation in which there are no mineral drugs. Its in- a ween gredients are on the label. By using it, you avoid danger of bowel strain. This test has proved to many men and women that their trouble was not “weak bowels,” but strong cathartics: First. Select a good liquid laxa- tive. 2. Take the dose you find is suited to your system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose until bowels are moving regularly without any need of stimulation. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin has the highest standing among liquid laxatives, and is the one generally used. It contains senna, a natural laxative which is perfectly safe for the ie est child. Your druggist has Dr. |dwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Rearding his administration of re- lief work in North Dakota, Willson said he would attempt to continue the policies of Judge Christianson which won the commendation of FERA Officials in Washington. “I realize that I am tackling a big job in following a man of Judge Christianson’s ability and character and will humbly put everything I have into it, trying to administer the fed- eral emergency relief so that the people who need relief will get what they should have and are entitled to, and those who are not entitled to re- Hef, do not get it. “As was the case under Judge Christianson, I shall carty on without any favoritism whatever and conduct the administration wthout regard to political affiliation or personal frend- ship as I did in directing the stock- relief set-up all winter. I sought men who could do the work most effi- ciently.” iC ON VTINU E D | Statistician Says Pastures Greatly Improved by Rains The output of all wheat was esti- {mated by the board at 483,662,000 |bushels, a cut of 18,000,000 bushels during the month of June, and ap- proximately half of the normal pro- duction of 886,359,000 bushels. Secretary Wallace announced Mon- day that the present reduction of 15 Per cent under the average 1928-32 production would be continued through next year unless it develops before planting begins next month that other nations do not intend to live up to the international wheat agreement. In that event, he inti- mated, the United States would ex- pand production and go into the ex- port business on a subsidized basis. ‘The administration in drafting next year's program holds to the belief that normal weather will prevail af- ter two unprecedented years drouth. They expect nature to boost 000 bushel level of domestic consump- tion. It was also believed that, if wheat prices go up, fewer farmers will cut acreage, thus increasing pro- duction. Officials pointed out that even though this year's wheat production should fall below the estimated figure the present carryover would assure a net surplus on July 1, 1935, of approx- imately 115,000,000 bushels. Drouth Damage General Drouth damage reflected in the wheat curtailment held true for other crops, corn production being estimated at 2,113,137,000 bushels or 71.8 per cent of normal; oats at 567,839,000 bushels or 40 per cent or . normal; Ibarley 125,155,000 bushels or 45.9 per cent of normal; rye 2,260,000 bushels or 40.2 per cent of normal.

The July 1 estimate for all spring wheat other than durum by the de- partment of agriculture {s, 82,911,000 bushels as compared with the 1927- 1031 average production of 192,838,000 and last year’s yield of 160,261,000. In the four principal producing states, the yield dropped from the five-year average of 140,213,000 bush- els to 48,425,000. The same four states last year produced 88,850,000 bushels, South Dakota, perhaps the hardest hit by the drouth, will produce an es- timated 2,983,000 bushels whereas during the five-year period the aver- age crop was 21,191,000. North Dakota's total reduction is even greater, the expected yield of 20,515,000 bushels representing less than a third of the five-year average crop of 63,503,000. In Montana, this year's yield is ex- pected to be 14,469,000 bushels as com- pared with the five-year average of 41,099,000, and in Minnesota the esti- mated figure is 10,458,000 bushels as compared with the five-year produc- tion of 14,420,000. Indicated production of durum wheat in the area is one-tenth of the| five-year average, with an anticipated yield of 6,483,000 bushels. The average crop for the five year Period was 61,460,000 bushels and last year's yield was 16,109,000. South Da- kota also was the chief sufferer on this type of grain, its yield being cut from a five-year average of 13,890,000 to 464,000. North Dakota’s durum wheat yield is expected to be 5,022,000 bushels as compared with the five-year figure of 44,028,000, In Minnesota the re- duction from the five-year average is from 3,270,000 to 872,000, and the re- spective figures for Montana are 273,- 000 and 125,000 bushels. | Weather Report —_—_———_+ ————— FORECAST For Bismarck and ee a Gen: erally tonight and jursday; wheat production above the 625,000,- | kota.
