Mr.. George G. Curtiss de-
scribes the process of the pro.
duction of typical hot wind as
follows: The necessary con-
ditions are those Of the warm
wave namely. a diminishing
pressure to the northward. pro-
ducing southerly winds which
initially elevate the tempera-
ture above the normal. A
clOudless sky favOrs an intense
insulation, as a result of which
the dry ground is soon raised to
an extreme temperature, and
the air is heated from it by
radiation, reflection, and con-
duction. The resulting diminu-
tion of density due to the rise of
temperature furnishes impetus
to previously existing horionz-
tai currents, and by ten o'clock
in the morning the hot wind is
fully developed. Hundreds of
miles of hot dry earth contri-
butte to maintain and feed the
current, and gathering strength
as the sun mounts higher, the
hot wind sweeps over the de-
fenceiess prairie. Neither hills
nor forests rise in its path to
break it's power or dispute it's
sway, and with no enemy save
the tardy rain cloud, the fetid
blast sucks out the life. sap of
the growing grain. 1t will be
readily seen, then, that each
state-Kansas, Nebraska, and
North and South Dakotade-
velOpes its own hot winds and
cannot charge them to the ac-
count of it's neighbors.'
With this comprehension of
the origin of these winds, the
desirability for windbreaks and
shelter-belts throughout our
state is easily understood.
This is the most practical meth
cd of protection against these
destructive hot winds that has
as yet been devised. With
careful and systematic planting
there is no doubt that the state
of North Dakota could entire
ly free itself of any danger from
these winds. Now is the time
when We need to realise the
importance of planting trees
for this kind of protection.
Next spring when we are rush
ing to get in our crops the hot
winds will seem far away and
we will be apt to forget the
need of shelterbelts and apt to
neglect the planting of trees.
If it had not been for the fact
that trees and small grain need
to be planted at about the same
time of the year, North Oak Ota
would have long ago been pro-
perly protected from the hot
Winds Of the summer and the
chilly blasts OF winter,

The Hot Winds
The hot winds visitd this sec
ton of the state the first of the
week. The light rain of Tues
day evening, however came
just in time to break the dry
spell and save the crops. 1t is
to be hoped the farmers of the
state will give more attention
in the next few years to the
planting of trees around their
farms and shelter belts across
their farms. The experience
of other countries and of por-
tions of the United States
shows conClusivly that shelter
belts will protect crops from
these hotsouth winds. Expert
ments have shown that groves
will protect crops for a dis
tanCe of one rod for each foot
OF height of the tree making up
the shelter belt. In portions of
Russia they plant the Siberian
Pea tree, or Caragana, SO as to
cross the lines of the prevailing
hot winds at distances of fifteen
OrtWentv rods between the rows.
Where higher trees are used
the shelter belts may be farther
apart. In portions of Iowa,
where the instructions of the
Iowa Agricultural College We're
carried out, the farmers started
several years ago to plant shelf
er belts. The result has been
entirely satisfactory and where
sufficient areas have been pro-
teCted they have no more loss
of crops due to the hot winds.
Many different views have
been advanced to account for
the origin of these hot winds.
For may years it was believed
they originated on the arid
stacked plains, moved north
ward, sucking the moisture
from the vegetation as they
swept over the prairie states,
and left the ruined crops IN
their wake. As to their move
1nent and destructlveness there
is 10 room for argument. We
are all painfully aware of their
results. A second theory as to
their origin is that they come
from west of the Rocks Noun
tains, lose their moisture in
crossing. and decend on the
eastern slopes. Prof. Samuel
3. Green in commenting on
these theories says: But all
theories that ascribe their orr
gin to a distance source are in
adequate to explain their phen-
omena. For instance, all who
are acquainted with these winds
know that they blow only dur
ing very dry weather, when the
earth is heated very hot, that a
good rain speedily brings them
to an end, and that they blow

New Orleans, Nov. 2o-The proFb- lem of carrying United States com merce in ships of United States regis try solution of which was attempted as a result of European war condi- tions, has hardly been touched, it was said here yesterday in an address to the National Coffee Hoasters' Associa- ton by Edward N. Hurley; vice-pres- ident of the Illinois Manufacturers Association.
 MT Hurley blamed the navigation laws of the United States for this con- dition, saying that they made it from 25 to 30 per cent more expensive to operate a vessel under an American than under a foreign flag. Mr. Hurley warned his hearers that the addition of 80 ships to American registry and the opening of a. few branch banks in South America by no means solved our commercial problems.
 eaTwo thousands ships, averaging from three to four thousand tons each would be required to carry all our
