Bismarck.-Tamed by their expert

with organized groups of citizens in
many North Dakota cities, and with
Canada's doors barred to them, the In
dustrial Workers of the World. who
threatened to become tremendous
problem to the police of North Dakota,
seemingly have ceased their activities.
Two murders, one attempted MUIR

several trains, constitute the record
of the l. w. WIS in North Dakota.

i Determined they were to work

to the Canadian border, the l. w. WIS
have found themselves at last up

by which she ridded herself of the
troublemakers, gave the police officers
of this state their cue, and as result
the l. w. WIS generally have ceased
to be serious menace.

CROP LOSS IS ovEREsTIMATED
Grain Expert Says Effect Of Grain
Damage Will Be Slight.

Fargo.-Crop losses, particularly
those in North Dakota, have been
greatly overestimaed, as to their prob
able financial effect upon the coun-
try, according to A. c. Chamberlain,
agricultural expert. He presented data
showing areas of production and prob
able yields.
The seriousness of the wheat croI
losses was in no manner minimized
MIR. Chamberlain figures showed that
corn, barley, oats, rye and other farm
crops, the fax seed prospects, and the
prices that now rule and are likely to
be approximately maintained for a
long time to come, indicate money
inflow far greater than generally ex!
'pected.

Grand Forks.-Unless the 1915 wheat
now held by farmers and elevators in
North Dakota, is kept from the mar
ket and retained as seed for 1917. locaI
authorities claim that the prospect fol
a good crop next year is poor. So Sc
rious has the problem become, that
an investigation is being conducted in
an effort to have the remaining wheat
from last year be held over for seed
purposes, instead of being placed on
the market for sale.
A. c. Issues Report.
The North Dakota agricultural col
lege has issued reports showing that
the seed derived from the 1916 crop
will not bring good yields or furnish
q hardy pl" 1T that can withstand the
ravages of the elements and will be
more susceptible to rust. In order
to furnish a substantial basis upon
which to start the 1917 crop, experts
urge that the present wheat now be-
ing held, be kept for seed purposes
Experts declare that the seed OBJ.
tanned from this years crop will be
far too light to insure good crops In
1917. The rust striker fields will not
yield over an average of 10 bushels
an acre and the bushels will not weigh
over IS pounds. Last year the yield
averaged around 20 bushels to the
acre and every bushel tipped the scales
at over go pounds.
1916 Crop Smaller.
It also is estimated that the yield
this year will not be over 50OO0,0OO
bushels for the entire state, less than
one-third of the crop in 1915.
The attention of farmers through
out the entire state will be called to
this problem and those who have dis
posed of their entire 1915 product
are urged to purchase seed as soon
as possible, before the entire product
is thrown on the market. Those wish
ing to obtain seed of the best quality
may obtain information by inquiry to
the secretaries of commercial clubs or
to the banking institutions.
