ASSIZE or ‘and lowe: it be observed, by Frederic J.Haskin ‘ACondensed Chapter from the Author$ New Book keke eeae ek THE WEATHER BUREAU f, Washington, D. C., Oct. 17.—Mark ain’s witticism that while every- ody talks sbout the weather, no- does anything about it, ceased o have point when Uncle Sam set p the United States Weather Bu- i wu, in which a personnel of some 71500, including cooperative observers, do-look after the weather at an an- nual cost of approximately $3,000,000 appropriated by Congress. It is. in- deed true that the making of out- door weather still defies human in- Genuity, but man today through’ the science of meteorology is able to predict the weather so as to save millions of dollars and promote the comfort and protection of many human lives. No other country in the world has 50 ive a system of weather in- ition, and other nations have een, encouraged by this example in efiilar lines to wrest the secrets of the weather and to put the knowledge at the disposal of the pul Every year sees improvement and increased accuracy in the science of meteorol- { ogy. Weather forecasting may be considered as very old, as weather naturally engaged the attention of mankind early. We read of forecast- f ing at the time of Jesus, who said: “When it is evening ye say, it will be ) fair weather; for the sky is red; but when it is morning, ye say, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red ” This simple rule, let is fairly accurate to- day. Professor Joseph Henry, long sec- )) Tetary of the Gmithsonian Institution in Wi who shared in the 1870 began creating laws for benefit of navigation on the seacoasts and the Great Lakes and then it was S extended to cover the interior dis- and the great rivers of the central valley of the country. So ag- weekaxekknx meteorologists connected with the ‘Weather Bureau, had the nickname of “Old Probs” fastened on him as a consequence. The “warnings” of the Weather! Bureau are most effective. They are issued from 24 to 36 hours in advance and are disseminated throughout the threatened regions by means of flags at Weather Bureau stations and by telegraph, telephone, and radio, and they are sent to special addresses. The airways service of the Weather Bureau has expanded rapidly since the passage of the Air Commerce Act of 1926, and now covers approxi- mately 25,000 miles of Federal air- ways. The reports and forecasts are transmitted chiefly by teletype and radio operated by the Department of Commerce. The radio is also used to transmit weather information to air- craft in flight. Thus pilots are pro- vided with up-to-the-minute weather reports and forecasts before each flight and with supplementary ports and forecasts at frequent inter- vals during the flight. People who are annoyed hy the dog- matizing of weather men will be in- terested to know that the weather has struck back on occasion. In the midst of a vigorous thunderstorm, a bolt sprang straight at the main building of the United States Weather Bu- reau at Washington, the very he: quarters of all weathermen. It knock- ed some people sprawling and tossed brick and stone around. When a storm is in progress, weather men watch the clouds and it appears that several were at the windows, and saw their own citadel assailed. One of the experts reported a strange in- He declared that when the there was no thunder—only a small, embarrassed crack. off with as little noise as possible!

HIGHER PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCE SEEN Bureau Lists Seven Probabil- ities of Fall Agricultural Situation Washington, Oct., 17.—(#)—Higher prices for most farn{ products and in- creased activity in many industries during the fall months were predicted Wednesday by the bureau of agricul- tural economics in its October price situation report. An increase in the general level of wholesale prices during the past year from 104 per cent to the 1910-1914 av- erage to about 112 per cent was at- tributed to advances in prices of farm products and foods since prices of non-agricultural products remained practically unchanged. The bureau analyzed farm price Probabilities for the fall as follows: 1, Wheat prospects point toward “some further recovery” rather than & decline, depending on the condition of the southern hemisphere crop and the amount of grain fed to poultry and livestock in this country. 2. Corn prices “may be expected to remain at relatively high levels throughout the coming year” with the present shortage of grain indicating somewhat higher prices by December or January. 3. Potato prices are likely to re- main at or near the present low levels during the 1934-35 season. 5. “The seasonal decline in hog prices now in frogress is likely to be jless than usual and of shorter dura- tion” due to fewer hogs and short feed supplies. : 6. Prices of better grades of cattle) “are expected to be fairly well main- tained” during the coming two months although declines are forecast in the lower grades if the government ceases to purchase cattle and adverse weath- er sets in. 7. Prices of hogs and chickens are expected to go higher during the next three or four months, responding to the light supply situation. Wisconsin fur trade of three cen- turies ago showed profits of as much as 12,000 per cent, according to old tecords. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1984 KUNDWORTH HIGHLY QUALI FOR POST Candidate fo Commissioner of Agriculture Has Excel- lent Background ‘ Exceptionally qualified for the of- fice to which he has been nominated is Otto W. Klindworth, Wells county farmer, the Democratic candidate for art of agriculture and la- rr. Born on his father's homestead sev- en miles northeast of Fessenden on Oct. 29, 1899, Mr. Klindworth has made it his residence throughout his 35 years, On his native soil, Mr. Klindworth has developed and raised seed crops which year after year have ranked as among the finest in the nation. He has gained nationwide fame as a grower of pure seed, seed that has consistently ranked one, two, three at International Seed and Grain show in Chicago. Mr. Klindworth is the son of Peter and Katie Kemmer Klindworth, na- tives of Germany who settled at Shel- don in Cass county in’ 1886. Two years later they drove over the prair- jes to Wells county behind a span of oxen to take up a homestead. They were among Wells county's first set- ters. Growing to manhood on his father’s farm, Mr. Klindworth attended the ing from Fessenden high school. In- tent on obtaining a higher education, he went to Fargo in 1914 where he entered Aaker's Business college. From there he matriculated at the North Dakota Agricultural college. the idea already having come to him that there was a tremendous field for an ambi- tious and enterprising farmer who’ would strive to improve, grain seeds, Accepts Faculty Post Shortly before he was scheduled to graduate from the A. C. in 1918, he was pressed inte service, the war hav- ing created a dearth of properly train= ed faculty members, He began teach- ing men and women no older than himself in the schools of agricultural and mechanical engineering. With commencement of the school year of 1918-1919, Mr. Klindworth re- turned to obtain the degree which he had missed. Again he found his services as a teacher in demand. Again he took a position on the faculty. For the next two years, he continued to teach the various branches of en- gineering as they apply to farming. That he never has obtained his degree, Mr. Klindworth lays to the fact that he married Miss Ella Belle Pellett of Hutchinson, Minn., Nov. 6, 1921, He declares he has been too jbusy sin¢ée then making @ living for jhis fa to return to finish the few months’ work separating him from a to her marriage, taught school at Kenmare, Donnybrook, Harvey, and | Fessenden. The Klindworths are the |parents of two children, Gertrude 9, {and Maxine 11. When Mr. Klindworth returned to Fessenden in 1920, he purchased the family homestead from his father. He immediately set about developing pure seed srains, working with seeds developed at the North Dakota Agri- cultural college and by other pure | seed farmers throughout the state. | Sceds Become Famous | So successful was he in the next | few years that his seeds became fam- college degree.

His durum wheat rank- ed second and his flax and spring wheat entries were judged third. The showings are the more re- markable when the ravages of drouth and the grasshopper scourge are con- sidered, During the past year in coopera- tion with the Crop Improvement as- sociation, the State Pure Seed depart- ment and the extension division of the agricultural college, he has been growing 20 strains of so-called Ku- banka durum to determine which strains showed the \best possibilities as @ durum adaptable to North Dako- out. At the present time, Mr. Klindworth \4s president of the Wells County Crop Improvement association, was secre: tary of. the North Dakota Crop Im- provement association four years and now is one of its directors. He is pres- ident of the State Seed Grain Show. The Klindworths are communicants {of the German Lutheran church. Custom Milling Sets New Record for Week Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 16—(P)— | Custom milling at the state mill here set a new high record for the week of October 8 to 15, according to O. B, In the seven days 2,657 barrels of jflour were exchanged with farmeri or wheat delivered at the mill. Thi: was ai average of two carloads a day, and exchanges were made with 496 | farmers, The average load of wheat exe jchanged was 32 bushels, and farm< jers came from as far distant points as Regent in Hettinger county, and Cavalier, Richland and Burleigh counties, By exchanging wheat for flour for his own family’s use, the farmer saves the processing tax of about $1.38 a bushel. Lund said the week reported was the largest exchange week in the his- tory of the mill, and the trend has ishown & steady increase of the ex changing of wheat for flour.
