World Acreage of Wheat to be Harvested Is Five Millions Greater SPOTTED CONDITION IN STATE REVEALED BYU.S. CROP REPOFT! Drouth Has Failed Only in Ef feet on Early Flax, Says Statistician Kienholz HEAT OVERSPEEDS RIPENING Rains in Southeast and Center Will Help Some and Produce Longer Straw at Least While drouths in various countries Trill reduce the production of wheat this year, notably as in the north wests spotted areas and in portions of Canada where the crop has failed almost entirely, the acreage to be harvested, from present indications, will be five million acres greater than last >fcar. According to O. M. Fuller, assistant extension economist at North Dakota Agricultural college, this increase in acreage is reported from 21 countries, while 11 countries of Europe report a total of 56.562.000 acres, an increase of 1.4 per cent over last year. General showers ranging from light to heavy have occurred in virtually all sections of the state since July 1. says Ben Kienhalz. federal crop statis tician for Narth Dakota. Two stations, however, in the north west. reported no rainfall to July 15. Some improvement in crop condition: has occurred in the northeast and for some distance west, particularly cf late crops. The sections most affected by drouth have generally received the least moisture and early grains arc drying up. with the exception of early flax, which still looks good. The ex treme high temperatures of July 15 and 16 have hastened crop deteriora tion and forced the ripening of oats and barley. The most striking fact to an ob server is the very spotted condition of crops. Some very good fields are to be seen in the driest sections of the stated, while very poor fields are fhn present in sections where condi tions are considered best. Rains which have occurred during the past week in the southeast and central territory will do some good in causing a better fill as well as in pro ducing a longer straw’, particularly of late sown crops. Generally, addi tional rains are needed to mantain present crop conditions. Late flax Is poor with stands thin and uneven. A considerable percent age of those fields will probably not be harvested. Rye ranges from poor to good. Some fields have been plowed up. Harvesting of the crop has begun in the southern half of the state. Corn prospects ere good, though the cron Is backward as com pared with last year. In the south west many fields arc from 50 to 75 per cent of a full stand due to cut worm damage. Pastures and hay crop arc dry and short in parts of the state, but up to average where recent rains have oc curred. Alfalfa, generally, looks good. A large acreage of sweet clover is be ing cut for hay. Rains in the Red Rriver valley, where the commercial potato acreage Is concentrated, have been of great benefit to the crop. Virtually no reports of rust have been received and. though some red rust is present in fields, weather con ditions are unfavorable for its de velopment to a point where damage sill result.

Agricultural College Adds to Requirements of 204 Credit Hours Fargo, N. D.. July 25.—Students at the North Dakota Agricultural col lege. to graduate from the four-year curricula, must, in the future, obtain 204 honor points in addition to 204 credit hours, according to a recent ruling made by the college council. One honor point will be given for each credit made with grades 77 to 84 inclusive, two honor points for each credit made with grades 85 to 92 inclusive and three points with each credit with grades 93 to 100. As no honor points are being given for grades from 70 to 76. all prospec tive graduates will have to maintain an average of 77 or more credits in excess of 204. with corresponding honor points. Students now enrolled in the upper classes will have to make the same number of honor points as credits yet to be made be fore graduation. This decision, according to. A H. Parrott, registrar, conforms with a general revision of rules being made at this time and is in keeping with the north central association of col leges and secondary schools, there be ing only three that have not adopted such a system for graduation. Other regulations that are being strength ened arc those applying to attend ance. changes of program and drop ping of courses. STATION DIRECTOR RECOVERS Fargo. N. Dak., July 25.—Dr. P. F. Trowbridge, director of the North Dakota Agricultural experiment sta tion, is expected to return to his of fice some time this week after nearly five weeks of illness which was due to the breaking of a very small blood vessel in the heart. WOOL POOL LOADS WOOL Stanley. July 25.—The Mountrail county wool pool last week consigned 34.000 pounds of wool to the state wool pool at Fargo. This wool was loaded at Van Hook and Stanley. This is sev eral thousands pounds increase over last year. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JULY 25. 1929 DUCKFOOT FAVORED AS SUMMER FALLOW DEVICE FOR WHEAT Dickinson Substation Gets Bet- ter Yield Than on Land Plowed and Weeded The use of the duckfoot cultfvator for summerfallowing is recommended by Leroy Moomaw, superintendent of Dickinson substation, according to word received at the North Dakota Agricultural experiment station. His recommendation is based on experi ments which have been carried on during recent years at Dickinson sub station. In 1928 the duckfoot method gave : better yields of wheat than land plowed. Land which was fallowed by : the duckfoot only and had not been plowed since 1923, actually produced a higher yield of wheat than land which w’as plowed in 1927 and during the balance of the season kept free of weeds by use of the duckfoot. If no cultivation has yet been given the land which one expects to fallow this season, it may be necessary to plow the soil, states Mr. Moomaw. For best results with the duckfoot the first tillage should be given about May 15 or earlier. The new type of implement known as the one-way disk is good for the first time over the land with a heavy stubble, or where weeds have a start, but this imple ment requires about twice as much power as the duckfoot. Since the duckfoot method is consid erably cheaper Mr. Moomaw strong ly recommends its use. If the work can be done before the weeds become too high and when the soil is dry, he believes the duckfoot Is the only im plement necessary. When the soil is excessively packed, infested with grass, stony or contain ing sloughs with tough rooted peren nials, the use of a plow to summer fallow is advisable. There is also the possibility that occasional plowing may be necessary with continued use of the duckfoot over a series of years. Plenty of Fresh Water Best Summer Feed to Give Young Chicks "Plenty of fresh, cool water is the cheapest summer feed for chicks,” ac cording to Geo. P. Goodearl. in structor in poultry husbandry, North Dakota Agricultural college. “It is inseparably allied with economical summer growth. “Place the water fountains in a cool, shady place. Do not set them out in the glaring sun and expect the chicks to enjoy the water in them, especially if it is a few days old. Rinse out and fill the fountains every day, or even twice a day, and supply a suf ficient number of water dishes so they will not all be dry in a few hours. Do not expect or permit the chicks to run to stagnant pools, creeks or irrigation ditches for their drinking water.” College Builds Bee House to Experiment On Honey Production' A bee-house has recently been completed at the North Dakota Ag ricultural college in order to facili tate the experiments in honey produc tion, according to Prof. J. A. Munro, entomologist. It is constructed of wood frame and siding, measures 16 by 32 feet, and has a full concrete floor. In addition to the honey house, which occupies three-fourths of the building, is the Insectary, which will be used to study the life histories of insects. The portion used for the in sectary is screened in so as to keep the temperature within practically the same as outdoors. The apiary of the North Dakota agricultural experiment station is located east of the bee house. It takes less than a minute to dis solve the marriage bonds of a Kurd in the eastern part of Turkey. The man simply says “I divorce you” three times and the parties are free. By Williams State Agricultural College to Publish Students’ Handbook Fargo, N. D.. July 25 —A handbook containing the general changes of rules and regulations of the North Dakota Agricultural college will be is sued to students before they register for the fall term, it was announced by A. H. Parrott, registrar at the col lege. The handbook will contain a com plete statement of the registration process; eligibility for student activ ities. as athletics, fraternities and sororities; classification and defini tion of academic units, grades, and the adviser system. Social regulations, residence in dormitories and private homes will be included also. Other interesting parts of the book include student traditions, student publications, and the more generally used college songs and yells. The handbook will also contain scholar ships and loan funds and medical service information. No. Dakota Potato Is Topic of Bulletin On Certified Seed Distant buyers of potatoes are in terested in the quality of seed for which they contract, and particularly in its freedom for disease, according to Dean H. L. Bolley. pure seed com missioner, North Dakota Agricultural college. North Dakota growers and commercial buyers arc also insistent that there be careful inspection and certification of potatoes. To satisfy this demand North Dakota has estab lished official registration and certifi cation work under the supervision of the pure seed laboratory. A recent revision of circular 31, “Po tatoes, Registration and Certification for Seed in North Dakota,” now available at the publications depart ment of the college. In the circular are all the rulings, requirements and essential steps for a grower of potatoes to procure registration and certifica tion of his crop. Range Chicks Require Plenty of Roost Room Adequate roosting room is essential to the proper development of chicks on range, according to Geo. P. Good earl, Instructor in poultry, North Da kota Agricultural college. Chicks that are crowded at night are overheated and weakened. From four to six inches of roost space should be al lowed fo reach bird. If there are too many birds for the size of the colony houses summer shelters should be built. A summer shelter consists of a roof, sides and door covered with wire and with roosts on the inside running from end to end. They provide shelter from storms and predatory animals, and can easily be moved to any de sired location. LIBRARIAN TO TOUR Fargo, N. D., July 25.—Miss Bertha Stickney, assistant at the North Da kota Agricultural college library, left Saturday. July 20, for Beloit, Wls., and thence for a tour through the New England states. From Beloit Miss Sickney will be accompanied by her brother and sister-in-law, Rev. and Mrs. George Stickney, and their two children. The trip will be made by car, and all the principal cities as well as historical places in New England will be in cluded in the itinerary. COLLEGE EDITOR GETS HONOR Fargo, N. D., July 25.—That the ag ricultural college editors of the United States appreciate North Dakota's part in bulletin, circular and press service is indicated by their recent election of W. C. Palmer, director of publications at the North Dakota Agricultural col lege, as vice president of the American Association of Agricultural College Editors. The annual convention was held recently at Durham, N. C. 4-H CLUBS WILL PICNIC Stanley, N. Dak., July 25.—The 4-H club members of Mountrail county will hold their first annual meeting and picnic together on Thursday, August 8. At present there are ten organized or partly organized clubs in the county. One of the problems at present is to make every club member an actual member by seeing to it that he owns the animals he is working with. f AT THIS MOVIES * « + PALACE THEATRE, MANDAN The First Lady of Broadway an nounces that she has contracted to run a “trans-continental night club train" from Grand Central Station to Los Angeles.

Texas Gulnan in “Queen of the Night Clubs," Warner Bros, latest specia) production is now showing at the Palace Theatre. Mandan, tonight and tomorrow night. CAPITOL THEATRE Rising to a tremendous climax that will make most fans gasp, "The fly ing Foot,” Pathe's all-talking air drama starring William Boyd, is said to be one of the most thrilling and entertaining pictures produced this season. Although the story has an aviation background and though it reaches a great dramatic crescendo with a scene in the air it is not en tirely an air story. It is a human drama, which combines pathos and comedy, played by a cast of capable actors and moulded into fine enter tainment. In his role of the Flying Fool, Mr. Boyd is seen as a devil-may-care stunt flyer whose weakness is women. They have been his chief diversion since the days in Ptance when he was an American ace, but he has never fallen in love. His motto is “find ’em, fool ’em and forget ’em!" Tom O’Brien, playing a blustering, bullying aviator who gets licked plen ty for his trouble, demonstrates that he is master of this type of role. Rus sell Gleason has a fine character part. Others in the cast of “The ‘Flying Fool” which comes to the Capitol theatre tonight, are Dan Wolheim, Kate Bruce and Dorothy Ward, Tay Garnett directed. The irrigable area in 1927 of the projects built by the government .was 1.998,91* acres, an incraass of IfMlI .over that of lftftl. <lk/n\N\NG m TALEM T P# ELEANOR EARLY nla Serviceirvjd THIS HAS HAPPENED MOLLY BURNHAM, engaged to JACK WELLS, has inherited SIO,OOO. Molly has just graduated from col lege, and upon learning the news, she gives a party that is both a celebra tion and a farewell, because com mencement is over and the girls are preparing to leave. Jack Wells, whom Molly loves with all her heart, is a draftsman in an architect’s office. Jack is handsome and a Harvard man. He loves Molly devotedly but has no money at all. Nothing but an uncertain future, and a heart full of love. Molly is willing to be married at once and face pover ty together. But Jack is a practical young man and insists upon waiting. He is in New Hampshire just now, seeking contact with rich old BILL INGS, the wool king, who is planning to build a model village for his em ployes. After the party, RITA MEL NOTTE, Molly’s particular friend, asks her to spend the night with her. It is their last night in the dormitory. Rita tells Molly that she has some thing important to tell her. Molly has begun to feel decidedly uncom fortable about celebrating the death of the poor old aunt from whom she has inherited her SIO,OOO. After her guests go, she joins Rita in her room. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IV "So you got rid of ’em,” observed Rita. She propped herself on a satin pillow of Chinese blue, and scuffed her cigaret in a cloisonne dish. "Hen parties always give me a pain. Twenty gifts chattering about what they’d do if they had SIO,OOO, and not one of them with brains or gumption opough to go out and earn it! Money’s responsible for all the misery and all the joy there is. You can’t be happy with it, and you can’t be happy with out it” “I wonder,” she mused, ‘‘if any body is ever happy. Except tran siently, I mean. You know, Molly, a man and girl ought to be happy, if they love each other and are married. The Lord knows I love Bob. But I haven’t brought him anything but misery. What do you think, Molly? Do you know anybody who’s really happy?” "Yes.” Molly replied quickly. “My father and mother. I think they are both absolutely happy. And I’m happy, too, Rita ... On, not perfectly contented, of course. I don’t suppose youth is ever altogether satisfied. We want too many things. But when you get older, and you have the things you’ve been dreaming about, why then you’re happy.” “And you think your mother and father have captured all the dreams of theif youth?” Rita’s full red lips twisted cynically* “Well, of course they’re aWfulty simple people.” Molly flushed a little. “They’re the salt of the earth, and pillars of respectability. We own our little house. And Dad has a car, and he keeps hens. And mother has a lovely flower garden, and a vegeta ble garden. And they’ve got a radio. And they go to the movies every Tuesday and every Saturday. My parents are exactly the sort ox people that Mencken makes fun of.” Rita smiled. “I wonder if Mencken is happy,” she said. “On, I don’t think so. I don’t think intellectual people are ever happy,” observed Molly. “But my goodness, I should think you’d be happy, Rita. I know if 1 was married to Jack, I’d be absolutely happy.” “That’s what you think,” inter rupted Rita drily. “Well, my dear, I thought when I got married, I was going to be happy, too.

"For the love of Pete,” she exclaimed irritably, "get out that light, will you? I never knew anyone so slow in my life.” Molly put down the hair brush, and put out the light. "Snap out of it, Rita,” she advised. “You’re all tired out, and you’re mak ing mountains out of mole hills.” Molly knelt and said her prayers. “I didn’t know you said prayjrs,” observed Rita. Molly didn’t answer. "Do your father and mother say them?” pursued Rita. “I suppose so.” Molly was em lva rpa ec or] “Well, f think that’s very nice,” approved Rita. “MayL; that’s why they’re so happy.” "Maybe,” acknowledged Molly. She was conscious herself of a very nice little warmth about her heart. “Why don’t you say some, Rita?” "Who? Me?” Rita yawned. “I don’t know any.” They lay side by side. The clock on the dressing table ticked with piercing clarity. Somewhere a bell rang. Two o’clock. A rooster crowed. And a man, with heavy tread, passed on the concrete walk beneath the window. Suddenly Rita tossed aside the sheet, and, kneeling, flung her arms passionately across the bed. Her hands fell heavily on Molly’s knees. And Molly kept her legs straight and stiff, and held her breath . . . while Rita prayed. After a while Rita got up, and walked to the window. She pushed the curtains aside, and stood there a long time, her tall, slim body silhou etted like a boy’s against the moon light. She spoke without turning. • • * “I’ve been acting like a fool to night,” she said. “We infant to an nounce our marriage as soon as I was graduated. But—l couldn’t tell this to anyone but you, Molly—Bob hasn’t earned a cent in six months. If we announce our marriage, his father will stop his allowance. And he says he’d die before he’d touch a cent of my earnings.” And Molly exclaimed warmly, “Oh, Rita, I’m sorry, dear. But you mustn’t let Bob get bitter. Nobody makes money right straight off. Goodness, Jack hasn’t a cent. Bob ought to know that when a girl loves a boy, it doesn’t make any difference whether he has any money or not.” Rita turned fiercely. “But it docs!” she cried. “I love my happy, brilliant Bob. But this new Bob—this bitter, frustrated failure. This loving man who’s eating his heart out, and my heart, too ” She drew the curtains together, shutting out the moon, and crossed the room to sit on the bed. “That’s why I asked you to come here tonight,” she said. “To warn you against a marriage like mine. Companionate marriages is a trap, Molly. It sounds so big and free and brave. It provides for expression, liberty, all that sofrt of thing. But it doesn’t think of the essentials, the sweet, simple, homey things. What has it done for me ? It hasn’t given me the tenderness of my beloved. It hasn’t even brought me comrade ship.” “Lay off marriage, can’t you!” commanded Molly crossly. “Maybe your love for Bob has cooled. But that won’t ever happen to Jack and me.” “Oh, my love hasn’t cooled,” in- jected Rita bitterly. "That’s my tragedy! It isn’t the cooling kind. Now don’t be a little fool and get sore because I’ve tried to save you a fall, my dear. Just keep your mind on that SIO,OOO, that’s all.” ♦ * * Molly had telegraphed Jack abe , *t her legacy, and he wired rather (ot*. mal congratulations, adding that rwi would be out the next night to take her to dinner, and asking her to meet him at the station. She greeted him gaily. "Isn’t it wonderful, Sweetheart! Now we can get married!” Get married?” he repeated. “Say, how do you get that way?” What do you think I am?” It was a wretched beginning, and so it turned out, as such things do, to be a wretched evening. They walked up the street in silence, and when they reached the wooded path that led to the inn, Molly shrugged away from his hand on her arm. Sud denly she turned. "Oh, lbrdy. Jack, I forgot to ask about Ted Billings! Did you see him?” He shook his head. "The biggest chance of my life, Molly, and you forgot to ask me about it.” “Oh, I hadn’t, Jack! I’ve been praying for it.” It might be more t-.tful, she thought, to ask no questions. And so, presently, to change the subject, she was talking again about her legacy. “I’m going to take a room,” she announced, “and look for a job. I couldn’t do that when I didn’t have any money, because I knew Dad would stop my allowance. But now that I’ve funds of my own, it’s dif ferent. Then we can pool our incomes and get married.” “What do you think lam?” he in terrupted unreasonably. “A squaw man?” Molly shrugged coolly. "Rita said something last night,” she observed, and I guess she was right.” “Rita’s a nut,” he pronounced. “Well, I guess she knew what she was talking about,” defended Molly. “She said that loads of men refuse to consider their wives* earning power from an economic point of view.” “Oh, Rita and her modern talk!” he scoffed. “Anyhow, if men are like that, what are you going to do about it? Love is like that, too. I’ve tried to tell you how a man who lov4s a girl feels about it. How he wants to take care of her. . . . But you won’t understand.” “Oh, I understand all right,” in sisted Molly. “Only I think it’s aw fully silly. And, listen, Jack—l’ve been thinking things over. You don’t want to marry me now, and I don’t sec any reason why I should be per fectly miserable for a whole year, and goodness knows how much longer, just waiting for you. The Dean sent for me the other day, and she said the most wonderful things. She even offered me a position. “Well, I wouldn’t even think of accepting.” Molly’s voice broke. “I loved you so!” she choked. “And I didn’t want anything in the world but just to marry you. Only now . . . you’ve been so funny and hateful . . . and you won’t get married . . . and you won’t do anything at all I want you to! Well, I’m going to get a job—that’s what I’m going to do! I’ll just show you!” * * * “What will your father and moth er have to say?” he asked quietly. “They expect you home, Molly. They’ll be pretty much broken up if you disappoint them.” “I don’t care!” she cried. “I can’t help it. I guess I’ve a right to live my own life!” They were quiet for a few min utes. “Anyhow,” she announced, “I'm going to stay with Rita and make up my mind about things. I’ll wire the family tonight.” “Where are you going to stay?” he asked. “Aren’t the dormitories closed?” »“Well, I’ve money enough to stay here at the inn if I want,” she told him. “Yes," he said, “I guess you have. Money’s a great thing, isn’t it, Molly dear?" “Oh, pay the check," she retorted, “and come on.” She slipped her arm through his, as. they sauntered slowly down the ' drive, their young hearts heavy as lead. “Darling," she said. “We never quarrel when we can touch each* oth- j er. It’s only when we’ve a table or 1 something between us. Or when : we’re in the middle of the street, or ■ there are a million people around. I wonder if you’d love me, if you. couldn’t ever take me in your arms. I wonder if I’d love you, if you weren’t to kiss me any more.” “Silly!" he chided. “I’m staying at the dormitory on«i more night,” she told him. “You’ll have time to walk up with me before your train goes." When they said goodbye she clung V to him. And he held her as though he could never let her go. “Remember what you said the oth er night about premonitions, Mol ly?" . “Sh!" she laid her fingers on his lips. They clung to each other in a sort of ecstatic misery. And when Molly had gone up the steps, Jack drew a small box from his pocket, ft* opened it, and the moon shofle on a little solitaire. A sparkling little solitaire. In the store it looked large and very bright and beautiful. Now it looked little and cheap. He snoex his head mournfully, and slipped it back in his pocket. . And that nQrht Molly cried herself to sleep. Next morning she would look for work with Rita. (To Be Continued) ANOTHER CLOTHING CLUB Stanley, July 25.
