, at seeding time. SUNMERPALLOWING TOP DROUTH CURE Possibilities of Crop Production Maintained Longer in Such Fields Drouths, past and present, have sifted out the best farm practices for combating the effects of dry weather. ‘They have shown the effectiveness of approved methods of farming where drouths of greater or less intensity are to be expected, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Weekly reports from experiment stations operated in the northern Great Plains by the Bureau of Plant Industry show that some methods maintain possibilities of crop produc- tion in this semi-arid region for as long as three weeks or more after other methods fail completely. Small grain crops following a small grain crop of the year before, regard- less of the method of preparation of the seed bed, are the first to die.| Small grains, following cultivated crops such as corn, are the next to go. Crops on summerfallowed land hold oat the longest. Summerfailow in which the land lies idle every other year but is cul- tivated to keep down weeds, stores moisture in the soil. The more water in the soil, the longer a crop can en- dure drouth. Water in the soil also means bigger yields. Men from the division of dry land agriculture of the | bureau, using soil moisture records and yields of 25 years, found that in the Plains there is not one chance in a hundred of a 20-bushel or better yield of wheat if the ground is dry There are only 18 chances out of a 19 of a 10-bushel or better yield. The chances are 71 out of a 100 that the crop will be a failure—4 bushels or less. On the other hand, if the soil is wet for 3 feet or more, chances of failure are cut to 10. There will be 16 chances of 10 bushels or less, 14 of 10 to 20 bushels, 47 of 20 to 30 bushels and 23 chances for 30 or more bushels. Bar Report Oppos’ ¥ Child Labor Méasure Boston, Aug. 27.—(7)—A_ special committee reported to the American Bar association convention Thursday a recommendation “to oppose ratifi- cation of the federal child labor amendment and promote adoption of a uniform labor law by states.” Immediately the possibility of a dis- pute over the report arose. Several resolutions supporting the amend- ment had been placed before the con- vention for action. Two resolutions sought to discharge the committee— headed by James A. Simpson of Ala- bama—and reject its report. The committee said “it seems hardly to be wise” to proceed with ratifica- tion of the: amendment until the people have an opportunity to pass upon federal employment in general. The average dream lasts approxi- mately five seconds... .. ; A.C. PHONE 585 Hi Quality Products Co.

Ethel Schlasinger, director, looked at it fondly, then suddenly wondered if those really were the State colors she had used. ; She called the secretary of state's office. She cal the department of public ruction. She called the board of admin- istration. She called the governor's of- fice. Nobody knew. “I didn’t know it had any col- ors,” said one unnamed dignitary. inally she called the secretary of state’s office again, who called the Historical society. Then they called Miss Schlasinger. North Dakota's colors are rose and green. Dairy cows in England have an average age of less than five years. WILDE : - BISMARCK, N. D.
