OUTGROWN THE RUST
Wheat In North Dakota Works Away
~. from It's Enemy. (.

Special to The Journal. 80 1911
Fargo, N. D., Aug. 4.-The elimina-
ton of the black rust as factor is
one Of the peculiar features of the
North Dakota crop conditions. That
Black rust existed, in the stem as well
as the leaf form, seems to have been
fully determined. It was found by the
scientific in estigators, wheat Eek
perts and farmers. Samples were
shown where the infection was visible
without any microscopic examinations.
While some of the weather conditions
have been unfavorable the last few
days have been exceptionally favora-
bic and the wheat seems to have out
grown the rust. The harvest has &C
tually begun in some sections, and the
grain is from the dough to the .ripen-
ing stage lin most localities. Of course
unfavorable weather conditions might
advance the rust and cause a damage
to the grade, and possibly to the yield,
but the conditions at present are I'M
doubtedly much more favorable than
a week or ten days ago.

NORTH DAKOTA REPORTS THE

Colonel A. B. Davis Of Gentilly, After
an Extensive Tour, Predicts a Rec
ord-Breaking Harvest Both In Yield
and Quality.

Special to The journal.
Crookston, MINI, Aug. Al Colonel A.
B. Davis, one of the largest individual
land owners in the Red river valley,
who has during the past week made an
extensive tour Of this section, predicts
that the fall harvest this year will be
.record-breaking both in. quality OF
per acre.
Mr.. Davis drove from Grand Forks
to Warren and from that place across
country into the Red Lake Falls and
st. Hi1are region, returning to this city
by team thru the fertile Gentilly strip
Of farm land. He obtained on the trip
samples of frain picked at random
which have not been equaled in this
section since 1895, both in height and
barley and wheat alike are Of phenom-
email growth all over the valley, and
not sign of black rust has made itself
apparent,
commenced in many localities, and by
the end Of another week early wheat
will be put under the harvesters. Maca-
Joni wheat, wherever sown, has proved
wonderfully sturdy and yields Of forty
pected where the seed sown has been
of good quality.
1.-THE rains Of last week, in my opin-
ion, did the entire valley an immense
amount of good,'' said Mr.. Davis
"and the increase in the yield as a
result of the moisture will be very ap
parent. Followed by extremely hot
! weather, the rains might have been dis
astrous; but followed, as they were
by cool, drying weather, the result has
been Just the opposite. My farm, nea,
| Gentilly, which is sown to wheat most
| ~, will go as high as thirty bushels
to the acre, and the grade Of graiu
from present indication, will be very
| high. Very little grain was downed by
the rain, and the healthy condition Of
the stalk is probably responsible TO,
that fact -

CONFIDENCE SUCCEEDS ANXIETY
The Feeling in Fergus Falls Is that the
Wheat Is Safe. s

Special to The journal.
Fergus Falls, MIMI, Aug. 4. The
anxiety that has been felt over the
crop situation ever, since the wheat be-
gan to head out is gradually giving
place to a feeling Of confidence, as the
grain steadily hardens. Those who
maintained that there was rust infec-
tion upon it few weeks ago now ad-
NIT that no damage has been done, and
it is now believed that the more ad-
vanced fields arc out Of danger.
p. w. Dewey, who was the first farm
er in this vicinity to realize the extent
Of the damage last year, was in the
city today and states that he has thus
far found only one stem Of wheat that
showed rust Infection this season.. He
is confident that this section Of the
state is going to have a very fail
crop. -. ,...: 1872.
Some samples Of oats have been
brought in during the past few days
which show considerable rust, but as
the rust did not injure the oats last
year, no alarm is felt. The stand Of
oats is very heavy turnout this vicin
ity, heavier, proportionately, than the
stand Of wheat. r. =

RANSOM COUNTY A WINNER
The Crop Situation There Reported to
Be Among the Best.
snecia1 to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Sheldon, N. D, Aug. 4.--Ransom
county is going to make good this year.
Ed Pierce, who has been following the
conditions Of late, says that wheat is
20 per cent farther advanced than last
year, and he estimates yield Of from
eighteen to twenty bushels to the acre.
He says very little rust has made it's
appearance in this section and that ten
days more Of good weather will mean
the harvesting Of one Of the best crops
in the history Of Ransom. r. W..
Froemke, president Of the immigration
association, knows every farm in this
section and indorses Mr.. Pierce's state
ments.
Ransom county trains are crowded
with homeseekers. They are of the best
class of farmers who have been renters
and owners. They are cutting loose
from high rents and selling out high
priced lands and buying. North Dakota
lands, where investigation has shown
them productive soil and excellent edu-
cational and other advantages.

declaration that Jones had shot her.
Mrs. Marcus Parmenter, a daughter
in-law of the first woman shot, testi-
fled at the late trial that she saw Jones
shoot his former wife, the witness
looking through a window and holding
lamp.
In the wild confusion of the neighbors
and police after the shooting Jones es-
capped to the mountain country back
of town. He left his shoes near the
house, which were found and identified.
After suffering hardships and hunger
for several nights and days he crept
into town, and going to house where
his son lived asked the latter to ac-
company him to the police station. His
son drove with him in hack to the
station, where Jones forthwith made
statement in which he admitted kill
ing the women. He declared that his
motive was love Cor his former wife.
Among the details he gave was the
fact that after the shooting he reload
ed his revolver. He said his intention
was to shoot himself.

LOCAL sELF.6ovERNMENT.

The demand for a county law, where
Il exists, is merely one for larger
measure of self-Government. To say
County Law is to use a concrete ex-
preston calling for some system OF
elective local offices, not nece sarily
identified with counties any more than
with municipalities or townships. The
term is a convenience only. Most of
our electors know nothing about coun-
ties from experience. but they have come
TO believe that counties would mean a
more intimate relation by themselves
to the affairs of their own government.
IL all of them knew that the same re-
suit might be had without increasing
the taxes, the county act would prob
ably go by the board.
Senator Achi has hit upon way to
establish local administration which
ought to have the serious study of his
fellow legislators. 1t is perfectly clear
that Hawaii, with its present population
and in the midst of depressed times. is
not able to pay more taxes. Our per
capita taxation rate of $500 is be-
lieved to be among the largest in this
hemisphere. Counties could not help
but add to it. and the advantages TO be
gained in return are, through Senator
Achi's method, to be got for nothing.
That Is to say, by electing certain local
officers, leaving their salaries as at pres
ent fixed there could be self-govern-
to have. why pay extra for 1t when
ment at no extra cost. That is the kind
ii can be had at the same old figure?
The necessary precedent to actual
county government is large number
of inhabitants and n corresponding
amount of improved taxable land. on
the mainland 1t has been the habit TO
fill vacant territorial spaces with sur
veyed but unorganiZed counties, usual
ly very large-larger than Hawaii--and
wait until people flocked in and located
homes before giving them officers. In
some thickIy settled regions like Greater
New York, counties have been abolish
ed. In Alaska they are not yet even
surveyed and may never be. The
American system is not rigidly fixed.
1t provides for all sorts of political di-
visions according to the needs of the
people; and it would, for instance, be
quite as American to have a District of
Columbia form, or a single city govern
ment or municipality taking in the
whole group, or a colonial system here
as it would be to have counties. Our
business Is to keep our political admin
istration within our meanss not to ape
the political complexities of great and
populous states. What we want can be
had much more easily and at no extra
cost.

THE CRIME.
1t was on the evening of August 22,
1908, a few weeks after his wife, Linda
X. Jones, nee Parmenter, had obtained
divorce from him for intemperance
and cruelty as alleged, that Edward
Mitchell Jones rode in the electric cars

ting off ultimately at Alapai and XII
nau streets. Mrs. Jones lived with her
mother. Mrs. Sarah Parmenter, a
widow. in Kinau street a short dis
tance from Alapai. Jones was addict
ed to drink and had that evening been
indulging in wine. Mrs. Jones was
riding in one of the cars on which her
husband rode that night. She had been
keeping company with a-motorman and
1t was testified at the late trial that
she was engaged to marry him.
After slighting from the car Jones
went to Mrs Parmenter's house and,
lying down in hammock on a veran-
da, slept for some tine. His presence
was discovered and MIS-. Jones ran out
to Alapai street for the purpose of find

The legislators are as strongly
pledged TO keep expenses down as they
are to give local self-g government.
There is a way to fulfill both promises.
Defeat the county bill so as not to in
crease taxes and work out the Achi
scheme to make local officers elective.
Then everybody will be satisfied but
the grafters and no pledges have been
made to them.
