PRESENT WEATHER
MAY Be DAMAGING
JIG. Haney Says Wheat crop
will Suffer if it Continues
Alfalfa Does Well.

If the present weather continues
the Red river valley wheat crop,
which is waiting to be threshed, will
be greatly damaged. declares J. G.
Haney. head of the International Har-
vesting ~company's experimental farm.
The rains of the past few days.
Mr.. Haney said. "have been very dis
couraging to the farmers. Unless the
weather settles the wheat and barley
crop will be damaged. Today's wealth
err tends to make the wet wheat mold
and rot, and unless the farmer watch
es it and keeps the sheaves separated
and placed so they will dry, they will
lose.
II don't think any damage has been
lone so far, but if the. present wealth.
err continues there is no doubt that
the farmer will suffer-"
Mr.. Haney declares it is too early
to make an accurate estimate of the
crop yield. Only early wheat has
been threshed SO far. and good re-
ports have been received. The later
wheat, however. will not do so we'll,
he says, and consequently the aver
age yield will be greatly lessened.
Inc present weather also is bad for
the corn. he says, although so far that
crop has done unusually we'll.
This has been an exceptionally
good year for grass crops and corn
Mr.. Haney continued. There have
been some remarkable alfalfa Yields,
We are o cutting the third crop of
alfalfa on the experimental farm, and
1t is an unusually good crop"

Still A Chance
FOR PRESERVING
Grand Forks Fruit Dealers
Expect More Peaches,
Pears, Crabs, Etc.

The preserving season in this Sec
ton is not over yet, according to To-
cal dealers who handle fruit, and from
now on there will be a great abund-
ance of many kinds of fruits. OF
course large quantities of peaches
have been put up already, but there
will be plenty more on the market
for some time yet.
Plums, pears, both wild and tame,
grapes and crab apples will soon be
gin to come in by the carload. The
varieties this year are very good. and
Of excellent preserving quality. Black
berries have been shipped in for sew
eral weeks, but they will last for at
least ten days longer.
There is one objection to preserv-
ing this year, however, and that is
the high price of sugar. It sells at
the present time for $3.50 per hun
dred pounds, which is a great deal
higher than it has been other years.
Sugar has been up around 50 this
year, but the price dropped a short
time ago. 1t is hard to tell at the
present time whether it will go up or
down.
Most of the fruit being received in
Grand Forks from the state of
Washington. 1t is very plentiful and
prices probably will be fairly reason
able.

FORSETH SCALDED WHEN
AEROPLAkE Spills after
LANDING ON SOFT GROUND

AL. Forseth. who formerly as
sisted Tom Mccoy in his avia-
ton work, is experimenting with
aeroplanes at Thief River Falls.
Several days ago his machine was
partially wrecked when. after
landing in soft ground. the wind
blew it over.
Forseth had just made a sue
cessful flight, but. fearing the
high wind. he decided to Land.
The heavy rains had made the
ground unusually soft, and when
the machine struck, the wheels
were buried in the dirt. A sud-
den gust of wind overturned the
machine, and damaged it slightly.
Forseth was burned by the hot
water from the engine, and was
slightly bruised up. He expects
to be ready to continue his flights
In a day or two.

LITTLE CHANCE TO
BAN l-POINT GOAL
Goal From Touchdown too
Strongly Intrenched to be
Easily Barred

The movement TO do away With the
goal from touchdown in football IS
receiving some support, but il is not
likely that It will be abolished by the
football rules committee.
Some people allege that the goal
from touchdown Is the Joke OF foot
ball, that II enables a player to defeat
a team which has perhaps played
more good football than his team.
The rules makers have 10 work on
the theory that one touchdown Is as
good as another but that the kicking
or falling to kick goal from touch
down is sufficient 10 Justify the win
ming or losing OF close game, Is the
opinion OF most oldtime football play
ers
1t is true that there is nothing spec
tacular in the kicking OF a goal, but
there Is something asinine In the
missing OF it, The extra point is won
on nerves more than physical powers,
or even mect anical dexterity. II calls
for coolness and workmanlike hand
ling of the leather II is an object les
son which shows the value OF steady
pair OF hands, a keen eye. and level
head
Incidentally, it gives two hard press
ed teams a chance TO get their breath
and diagnose individual physical con-
dition after a touchdown has been re-
corded
There is no good reason for abolish.
ing the goal from touchdown.
