2. = WHETHER STATE IS SUING ITSELF IS QUESTION IN CASE Bonzer Bond Action Held Up Pending Decision by Holt on Question ‘ Grand Forks, N. D., July 23—(?)— Continuation of the Bonzer bond case Thursday rested upon a decision by Judge Daniel B. Holt to certify to the state supreme court the question of whether the state is suing itself. The case was delayed indefinitely Wednesday after Lynn Stambaugh, attorney for the Northern Dakota Trust Co. of Fargo, an intervenor, made the motion for certification: The case, reopened in district court ‘Wednesday morning, was brought by the state industrial commission which seeks to recover nearly $89,000 on the bond of A. F. Bonzer, Jr., former state mill and elevator mana- ger, from. the state bonding depart- ment. The trust firm is involved be- cause it re-insured the second $25,- 000 of Bonzer’s $50,000 bond. Unless the supreme court, now in recess, holds a special term, the question will not be decided until September, attorneys said. Former Policeman Is Given Death Sentence Pittsburgh, July 29—(7)—Martin J.

Frank Graff refused the Pazera former patrolman a new tr A jury had convicted the rosey- faced Sullivan of fatally shooting Mrs. Laura Bacon, Duquesne social worker, last December. Sullivan later pleaded guilty to slaying four others on the same night. The state contended Sullivan com- mitted “mass murder” against the neighbors because he blamed them for his arrest on a morality charge involving a little girl. “irae MUSSOLINI IS 54 iccionne, Italy, July 29.—(#)—Pre- mier Mussolini celebrated his 54th birthday Thursday with a review of the first squadron of the Adriatic fleet anchored at this, his favorite, summer resort, Vatinius, a copper of Beneventum and favorite of Nero, was reputed by the ancients to have the biggest nose in_human history.

And we welcome you and hope we may be able to do what we can in speeding the development of irrigation along the Missouri river and its tributary streams.” Mayor Axel Nelson declared “you people will be irrigation-minded when you leave our valley. We want you to “We believe it is a crime to allow the waters of the Yellowstone and the Missouri and its other tributaries to pass through this arid territory prac- tically untouched. We believe the tivers have other uses besides just being obstacles to throw bridges across.

We know that reclamation and irrigation in this western plains region is just begin- ning. We know that we can work with you to bring greater benefits to both our states.” Responding for the North Dakotans, former Gov. George F. Shafer of Bis- marck, recalled that for 30 years he had been a resident of McKenzie county in part of which courfty lies part of the Yellowstone project. “I am coming home to learn some- thing,” Shafer said. “We, on the Mis- souri slope, lack the knowledge and CAPITOL TODAY © First Show at 6:45 2 Big Features No. 1 HERE SHE COMES!

D. Adams, district manager of the Holly Sugar corporation which has & $1,500,000 beet sugar processing plant at Sidney, related the trials and |6 tribulations undergone by the irriga- | ri tion districts in their early years and pointed out that only in the last few years had the valley really commenced vo reap the benefits for which it had toiled so long. “One of the main reasons for the slow development of this valley was the unwise selection of crops,” said Adams. “Irrigation is not feasible with one crop. Wheat or other grains will not alone pay the costs of production. Irrigated farming must be diversified farming.” Adams pointed out that the key crops of the valley were sugar beets, alfalfa, corn, beans and small grains. These crops are supplemented by smaller acreage plantings of potatoes, flax, cain and speltz, He emphasized that the main crops were planted in yearly rotations in order to assure continued fertility of the soil and to keep the fields free of weeds. jeep Plowing Necessary Deep plowing, deep tillage and in- tensive working of the soil were called by Adams absolute necessary labors if high production is to be maintained. Adams asserted that roughly this year’s plantings would be divided as Tollows: 12,100 acres of beets, 5,146 acres of corn, 1300 acres of beans, 10,000 acres of alfalfa, 10,000 acres of grain, 500 acres of truck garden crops. Since 1925 when the sugar process- ing factory was constructed, Aaams said the company has paid $9,250,000 to farmers for their beets, $2,000,000 for labor, $3,500,000 to the railroads for freight charges. Because livestock feeding is the major farm industry of the valley, Augustus Vaux, one of the major feeders and a merchant of Sidney, briefly outlined this phase of the val- ley economy. Vaux declared that from 120,000 to 130,000 lambs are fattened for market each season. Lambs are fed in pref- erence to cattle because they yield 8 larger margin of profit, “Feeding lambs is not always profitable, but on the average the farmer will make money three years out of four.” By-products of the sugar plant— beet pulp, tops and molasses, com- bined with alfalfa and corn, are the primary foods. In the feeding yards the animals will gain an average of one-third of a pound per head per day, Vaux said. “The lamb is the only farm animal that pays his board bill under normal conditions,” he asserted. Lambs Need Shelter Calling attention to the many or te boarded yards on the farms of the area, Vaux explained that lambs must be completely sheltered from the winds in order to make maximum gains. While no cover is needed, the sidewalls must be wind-tight, “You don’t need to be a dirt farmer feed lambs,” Vaux remarked. ny of the business and profes- sional men of the valley area are feeders.” Closing on a note of the profits that wait the lamb feeder, Vaux said, “The farmer must be prepared to get frost- bitten early in the winter if he ex- pects to get sun-tanned in Texas later in the winter.” From Sidney the caravan drove to the feeding yards of the Holly cor- poration where several hundred head of steers were being fattened on the by-products of sugar making. A quick trip also was made through the sugar plant itself. At the Nels Bach farm, two miles north es Prager aitalts. isk ane grain were inspected with the feed and home yards. Here, too, Fosse explained the individual farm irrigating system.
