GIVE FARMERS A VOICE IN
FIXING GRAIN PRICES
United States Senator GrOnna En-
dOrscs Equity Fight.

Grand Forks. N D., June 7.-Sen-
ator A. J. Gronna of Lakota Saturday
afternoon pledged his support to the
North Dakota Society of Equity
movement. He was the principal
speaker and in emphatic terms he de-
clared that the farmer ought to have
his say in regulating the price OF
wheat.
Senator Gronna said that wheat
cannot be produced for less than a
dollar bushel, and unless the farm-
er can make a reasonable profit he
must give up. There ought to be
some way, he declared, whereby the
farmer can regulate the price.
He also spoke of the back to the
farm" movement and the problem of
keeping the boys on the farm. The
best way to accomplish the latter, he
said, is to improve farm conditions,
and to do this the farmer must have
more money. II he can have his
voice in fixing the price he will be
able to demand a greater profit.
Senator Gronna also spoke of con-
ditions in North Dakota, declaring
that they never were betttr than
now.

fort to stop the transportation of
liquors into North Dakota for illegal
use, was brought before Judge Han

state any liquor for illegal use. The
railroad company takes the respon-

the state between now and that time.
This action is brought in Morton
county because that is the nearest
county in which the Milwaukee op-

Bitzing took the papers over to Man.

the case.
Similar actions are yet to be

FROSTED CORN SET
BACK NOT KILLED

Fargo, June 9.-While corn has
been put back a great deal by the
frost of last night it is not the belief
of the North Dakota Experiment sta
tion that replanting will be neces-
sary.
Professor Sheppard of the station,
in answer to numerous telephone
calls from various parts of the state,
has prepared a statement in which
he advises the farmers to wait sever
al days before plowing up the corn
as he states that while the corn may
be cut clear to the ground by the
frost this does not necessarily kill it
and it will come up again. Profess
sor Shepperd says that unless the
plant is frozen quite deep below the
surface of the ground it will not be
greatly damaged and only put back
that much, though in some cases
there might be few stalks that will
be killed.
The corn at the station was frozen
clear to the ground last night.
Latest June Frost in Thirty Years.
Moorhead, Mimi, June 9.-The To-

ing, June 9, the report from the local
bureau was just 80 degrees. The re-
ports show that the next latest frost
occurred on June 8, 1885,. when the
thermometer registered 80 degrees.
The official report for the cold
