LEGISLATORS ARE SCORED.
Development League Criticize Them
For Killing Reapportionment.

Duluth. Northern Minnesota
officially resented the refusal Of
the 1911 legislature to pass a fair re-
apportionment bill. BY a unanimous
vote, resolutions were passed by the
Northern Minnesota Development as.
ISOLATION protesting against the treat.

and condemning the legislatures &C.

lature to pass reapportionment bill
Is termed great injustice to the
northern and undeveloped sections and
the association pledged itself to use
every horrible means to obtain q fair
bill at the next session In 1913.
The resolutions were a compromise
between the conservative and radical
members Of the association, the former
favoring dignified silence in ignoring
the action of the legislature, and the
latter favoring strong resolutions nam.
ing members who opposed the bill be.
cause of legislative influence. The &C.
ton is considered victory for the
radical members. ...
When w. B. Mitchell of st. Cloud
presented the reapportionment resolu.
lions which were adopted, members
expressed themselves freely in criticiz.
ing the legislature for its alleged fail,
ure to give northern Minnesota justice.
F. J. McPartlin of Koockiching declar-
ed that it was caused by the influence
Of the special interests and that it
was the duty of northern Minnesota to
resent their interference. He added
that the mere passage Of resolutions
was not sufficient and that it was up
to the association to create a senti.
ment in favor Of reapportionment
which would compel southern Mime.

III we can create a sentiment among

IN arriving at the prospective wheat
yields in the northwest there is con.
siderable confusion. In the first place,
the government has used, evidently,
the old average basis for arriving at
the area soWn this season, which, &C.
cordtng to the census, was much too
high for Minnesota. It is suggested,
however, that the North Dakota acre
age is too low and that the aggregate
figures Of spring wheat acreage in the
three states as estimated now is not
far away from the census area.
A further difficulty presents itself

such as to give hope for a yield OF
nearly % per cent more than last year
and nearly II per cent more than the
average for the last five years.
May Unfavorable Month.
MAY was unfavorable for winter
wheat, but nevertheless with the in
creased acreage there probably will
be between three and four per cent
more winter wheat produced than last
year and between six ana seven par
cent more than for the average Of the
last five years. Combining both spring
and winter wheat, the indications
point to slightly larger yield per
acre than was produced last year and
about the same yield per acre as dur
ing the last five years. This would
make total production of all wheat
Of 80 per cent more than last year
and 1912 per cent more than the aver
age for the last five years.
Dat Area Lower.
"The acreage of oats was not quite
so large as it was last year, but the
one-tenth Of one per cent reduction is
substantially immaterial. The crop
prospects are not SO promising as a
year ago. Last years production was
the largest ever recorded. The con.
dition of the crop indicates yield
per acre of 27.7 bushels as compared
with 91.9 last year and % for the av-
erage Of tho last five years. This
would make a total production of
about 1873 less than last year, but 4.S
per cent more than the average Of
the last flve years.
1.-The condition Of all crops in the
Pacific northwest, particularly in
Washington and Oregon, is notably
fine. II any one feature of the month
covered by the report stands out
above another, it was the drought
which prevailed during May practical
ly throughout the country. It affected
materially not only the condition Of
winter wheat, but also the hay crop,
which is one of the greatest crops Of
the country. That drought now, how
ever, has been largely relieved in all
parts of the country"
The Northwest's Prospects.
The northwest has one of the best
general grain prospects reported.
With the exception of South Dakota
all crops il the other two states are
well above the ten year average and
in none of the three states is there an
average below 80 per cent Of normal.
