Experts Graphically Shown to Grain Men In view of recent discussions of the strength and vitality of light and shriveled seed wheat, two exhibits a display at the Memorial building in - connection with the state grain deal- ers convention were attracting a great deal of attention Tuesday. One of the exhibits is that of the Northwest Crop Improvement associ- ation, featuring a germination display from seed planted over a month ago by the Agricultural college extension experts, and the other is that of the Wisconsin grain and warehouse com- mission where over 600 seed grain samples are being shown. Shows Vitality ‘The germination display consists of two soil boxes which show plants growing from 60, 50, 45, 40 and 27- pound-per-bushel grain. In addition there is a tray planted with the same lots of seed, but which were subjected to below freezing temperatures after they had emerged some two or three inches from the soil. Notable in the latter experiment is the fact that the plants from the lighter seed were killed entirely and the other plantings suffered to a less severe degree until the 60-pound lot is reached, where apparently no in- jurious effects were suffered. Also demonstrated in the exhibit is the method of making blotter germ- ination tests. R. H, Black, federal grain supervisor, and H. R. Sumner, secretary of the Northwest Crop Im- provement association, both of Min- neapolis, are in constant attendance at the booth to explain the exhibit. Important, Says Putnam Believing that the shriveled, weak- ened seed grain condition is one of paramount importance, County Agent Henry O. Putnam has urged all ducers to see and study the display. Four members of the Wisconsin commission—C. J. McRae, chairman; C. W. Peacock, secretary-treasurer; J. L. Levens, chief inspector and H. A. Juneau, chief weigh-master—are supervising the commission's display, regarded as the most complete ex- hibit of its type ever shown in the United States. All Grains Displayed ‘The 600 grain samples shown in- clude all general types of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, flax, soy beans and grain sorghums. McRae, speaking for the commis- sion, said that last year the amount of wheat handled by the commission’s 12 unloading elevators at Superior, Wis., amounted to only about 40 per cent of their best year, but showed a 12 per cent increase over 1933. ‘The commission Tuesday added the Falconer corn, a North Dakota prod- uct developed by the O, H.

D., Feb. 5—Speaking be- fore the Fargo Builders and Trades exchange, W. Ray Reichert, Bismarck, head of the federal housing admin- istration in North Dakota, told them the Gate City has lagged behind other North Dakota cities in providing need- ed_ housing construction. Every habitable house in the city is occupied, he said, and in many cases there is overcrowding. He predicted a building boom if Fargo business and building leaders would unite in a cam- Paign to cure the situation. Whether or not Fargo will have a housing show in the spring will be determined after a number of local builders return from the housing show next week in Bismarck, Los Angeles Officers Sidetrack Transients Los Angeles, Feb. 5.—(P)—City po- lice stubbornly continued to sidetrack transients at California’s state lines Wednesday while officials studied the legality of their action and neighbor- ing states fumed.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1936 DONATE BOOKS FOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL Volumes of All Kinds Needed Says Leifur; Students Expected to Help Appeal for donations of books by citizens to the Bismarck high school Ubrary was made Wednesday by Act- ing Principal C. W. Leifur. ‘The library in the old building was inadequate to meet the demands of the student body, Leifur said, but nothing could be done about it since there was no room for more books if the school had them. Now, however, with the libarry housed in the finest room in the new building, with accommodations for approximately 30,000 volumes, an at- tempt is being made to improve the library facilities. Cooperation of stu- dents and the public is asked to pro- vide additional books without cost to the taxpayers. Many Types Needed A list of the types of books desired, Levon! by Leifur, shows that al- most anything will be welcome. Par- ticularly needed by students to meet outside reading requirements are bi- ographies, books of travel, short story collections, reference works in history, science and other studies, and files of magazines such as the National Geo- ographic, Travel, Hygeia, Scientific Monthly, Nature, Survey, The At- lantic, Asia, Harpers and Scribners. In addition the home economics de- partment could use some of the lead- magazines for women. Fiction by well-known authors also is needed, since the desire is to equip the library with all types of reading material. In the event books are received which are not suitable for the high school library they will be turned over Pro-'Mrs. A. E.

Anyone having books to donate is asked to call 2012 and arrangements will be made to call for them if ar- rangements cannot be made to send them with a high school pupil. The name of the donor will be placed on the inside cover of each volume re- ceived. Dedication in Spring ‘The hope, Leifur said, is to have a large collection of books on hand when the new high school building is formally dedicated next spring.

Feb. 5.—(f)}— American history was taken for evi- dence by Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture M. L. Wilson Tuesday night to show “great democracy” fails to regard the courts-as @ last resort in times of need. Wilson, a speaker at the Farmers ‘Week and Red River Valley Winter shows, referred to the AAA invalida- tion in which, he said, there was no barrier against amending the consti- tion in behalf of agriculture. The decision, Wilson said, held nothing to prevent farmers from at- tempting to change the constitution “to give the. federal government the right to deal with the national prob- Jems of agriculture.” Had there been five liberals in the supreme court membership instead of three, Wilson said, the AAA would have been held constitutional. “However,” he said, “in the history of the United States the decisions of the court have not always been final. “The court is a legal last resort, but in our great democracy the final re- and there have been several instances where the people themselves have proceeded to prevent the opinion of the court from deciding finally an issue against the wishes of the people.” Wilson interposed he was “neither encouraging nor discouraging” an at- tempt at amendment since the amend- ing is “often a long, slow process.” He added, however: “It is certainly no disrespect to the court to point out that judges of tha: court are human, just the same as the rest of us.” Defending the AAA, Wilson said he never yet talked to a farmer cooper- ating in the AAA program who com- plained about regimentation and the} sai, loss of personal liberty.
