July FORECAST
STRONG BUT CAN
STAND DISCOUNT

While the impression is current
that the July summary of the United
States bureau of crop estimates is
more optimistic than conditions war.
rant, there has been marked i'm
provement in crop prospects during
the last five days. Bountiful rains
have fallen in practically every part
of the state. In the northern tier of
counties the downpour in certain Sec
tions was the heaviest in history.
Thousands of wheat fields that had
been given up as total loss have
been revived. Hay has made marked
recovery, and more cheerful senti-
ment is apparent generally.
The July forecast for North Dakota
of 75,7OO,00O bushels of wheat is more
than equivalent to the bumper $50, 900
600 bushel crop harvested in 1915,
when it is recalled that the crop two
years ago sold for we'll under dol
lar, while current prices in this state
are $185 The same holds true of
prospective yield of 12,4OO,0O0 bush
els of corn, for which the current
price locally is $1.25, as compared
with 70 cents for 1865 13,515,000
bushels.
The oats forecast of 65,700,000 bush
els is high, but the farmer can stand
for a shortage with oats selling at 5S
cents as compared with 81 cents in
1915. North Dakota's potato crop, es-
timated at S,2S0,00O bushels, will be
by far the largest in it's history, and
present prices are $2.4S, as compared
with $1.02 year ago, when the state
harvested 6,975,OOO bushels. There is
by far more rye acreage than ever
before, and while winter rye is gen.
orally shot, the July estimate gives
the state 100000 bushels, as COM
pared with 5,655,O00 in 1916, and
prices much higher than year ago.

REVISE :.
DRY FEATURES
Of FOOD BILL

Washington, July 10.-Revision OF
the prohibition as we'll as other pro-
visions of the food control bill de-
signed to overcome opposition and in
sure it's passage, was the task under
taken today by the senate's steering
committee.
Proposed changes under cOnsdera-
ton were amendment of the provision
adopted by the senate providing for
government purchases of all distilled
spirits in bonded warehouses and
elimination of the provision for gov
ernment regulation Of the iron, steel
and cotton industries.
Increased difficulties today beset the
administration food control bill with
it's drastic prohibition features.
Convinced that the bill is loaded
down." and that the liquor provision
for government purchases of all dis
titled spirits is unconstitutional and
either must be enforced or stricken
out, senate leaders held conferences
while the debate proceeded on the
floor in an effort to devise an amend
ment to pave the way for final passage
of the bill.
The democratic steering committee
met before the senate convened, but
was unable to reach an agreement
and definite action was deferred. Sen
ators said the situation among the
steering committee members was as
chaotic as that.
TO meet the constitutional objection
that his amendment illegally imposes
upon distillers the price to be paid
for their liquor, Senator Smoot, pro-
posed to add an amendment to anoth.
er section of the bill. Another plan
considered by the steering committee
was to recommit the bill to the agri-
culture committee with instructions to
correct the Smoot amendment and
also eliminate cotton, STEEL, iron and
possibly other products from the gov
ernment's control proposal.
While the steering committee was
in session, Postmaster Burleson walk
ed in, and joined in the discussion.
Several senators left the meeting, one
of them expressing resentment over
the cabinent officials participation.

Second Day of General Korni-

STRATEGIC POSITIONS
FAVORABLE TO sLAvs
German Crown Prince Hammer
at French Line on the
Aisne
(by Associated ,Press.)

Several villages captured and more
than 1000 additional prisoners and
three field guns taken, caps the sue
cess of the second days attack of
General Korniloff in Eastern Galicia.
Already. this branch of the Russian
offensive has resulted in a deep
wedge being driven into the Austro-
German lines, between Stanislau and
Halicz, southeast OF Lemberg. 1t took
strong German reserves and the
launching of heavy counter attacks
to slow up the rush Of Korniloff's
men.
In Favor Of Russians.
The strategic position in this Sec
tor is now clearly in favor of the
Russians. The long established Teu-
tonic lines have been definitely brok-
en- and the continuance of the Rus
sian pressure points to the probable
speedy fall of Halicz, opening up the
way to Lemberg, along two first class
railway lines. A dangerous salient
already had been created around Ha-
licz.
The Russian official statement says
the enemy has retreated to the L6m-
MICA river. In two days, the Russians
penetrated to depth of six and two
thirds miles; the enemy's position
west of Stanislau.
Witnesses New Attack.
Each day now witnesses a new at
tack by the German crown prince
along the ,Aisne front in northern
France, suggesting an attempt Of sus-
tanned offensive. The French guns
are proving too much for the attack
ing ranks of the Teutons, however.
Last nights attack in the Chemins
des Danes plateau, the high ridge
which the Germans lost last spring
and are now trying desperately to
recover, was less fruitful than others
have been at the outset The Ger
mans were not able even to get near
the French lines, at the Hurtebise
monument and the Dragon, where
their attacks were launched, and they
fell back with severe losses.

the German lines in Belgium Last
night he took another bite into the
territory east of the Messines ridge,

How long have you supported her:
What other members of the family
contribute to her support, and how
much? What is your trade? How
much do you earn? And so on.
In most cases this information will
be a matter of common knowledge in
the neighborhood In little towns and
in the country where every body's bust
ness is known by everybody else, the
answer to these questions may even
be personally known to members OF
the board. In big cities the situation
will be little different. Examinations
may have to run more deeply into
facts. In some cases the boards may
have to take steps to get independent
information, or the government rep
resentatives may do the same.
About five days, it is believed,
will be enough to get the infor-
nation desired. After this will
come the work Of the appeal
boards, one in each judicial dis
trict. These will pass on appealed
cases.
Beginning within few days the
government will mail out forms which
will be used in making claims for
exemption or discharge, attidavits
which must be filled out by ministers
Of the gospel, judges, police, mayors
and other public officers.
Some dissatisfaction has been
voiced with selections made for ex-
emption boards. Nearly every men,
ber Of congress has had an errand at
the office OF the secretary of war Of
this sort, but little attention is paid
to these protests. The authorities here
assume that any exemption officers
are bound to be unsatisfactory to
some people, Their work is bound to
be criticized. The policy of the de-
partment, therefore, is to accept the
appointments of the governors and to
tell the boards to go ahead regard
less of kicks.
