STATE CROP AND
STATE SITUATION

For some months past the
country has been afflicted with
hysterical alarmists who sent
forth dire prophecies as to actual
food famine in America. The
prophets Of woe we're often
clustered statisticians, who knew
nothing of prevailing conditions.
and sensational writer's who
cared more for "a good story"
than the presentation of actual
facts, says that excellent paper,
the Sentinel Courier, published
over at Cooperstown. The writer
continues:
Those in touch with fundamental
conditions have known all along thst
there never was any real danger Of
food shortage so far as the United
States az . whole was concerned.
Certain sections of the United States
and even Of North Dakota have crod
shortage. However, recent report
issued by the Department OF Agricut
ture shows encouraging crop Goa
ditions. The real need ell along the
line has been for q greater average
production, not for ourselves alone,
but for our allies across the water.
The western half of our state will
have shortage in their hay crop this
year. This is due to the extreme hot
weather and hot winds. The eastern
part of the state and western Mime
sofa is quite we'll provided with hay
and in many localities hay is On sbun-

a very great hardship on the stock
farmers of that section, the solution
of the problem remains to be worked
out in a cooperative way.
A committee of prominent North
Dakota citizens is at present working
{ on the solution of this problem, and
is comforting with railroad oompaniea

THE HAY CROP
RATHER SHORT

From the western and north
western parts of North Dakota
come reports of a shortage of
hay. In some localities the farm
ers have sent representatives to
other states with instructions to
buy thousands of tons. Whether
these buyers will be- able to pick
up enough to keep the stock in
fairly good shape over winter, is
a matter of conjecture.
Foster county has harvested a
fairly good hay crop and those
familiar with the situation claim
there are good many tons yet
that could be cut and put in
stacks, which would, even at the
present price, be a profitable
thing to do, say nothing about
what they could command for it
toward spring.
If a lot of stock will of peces-
sity be dumped on the market
this fall, the price of beef will no
doubt, be greatly reduced.
From agricultural exper
comes advises to the effect that
the farmers by all means should
try and winter the stock even if
a lot of feed would have to be
bought. Every farmer should
see to it that no straw will be
burned this fall. In this coun-
try it has been a very common
practice to set fire to a straw pile
the minute the threshing machine
is pulled out, but this fall it will
be a good idea to save it all.-Mc'
Henry Tribune.

The baby had died from intestinal
