WAR DEPARTMENT BACKS
AIR SUPREMACY PROGRAM
President Asked to Support Great
Project for Which $500, coo, 900
Outlay Is Sought.

Fun approval has been given by the
War Department to the air supremacy
program of the defense councils air
craft board. and President Wilson has
been asked to put the administrators
support behind the great project, for
which an appropriation of $500, 900. 900
is sought.
Under the plan the United States
would become Immediately a great ele-
mentary training base for all the allies.
and enormous numbers of training ma
chimes would be turned out while
American plants are developing a serv-
iceable battle-craft type. BY next
spring the board proposes to have the
allies ready to literally drive the Ger
mans from the air.
The War Department is behind tho
plans. with every ounce Of energy and
enthusiasm at it's command Secretary
Baker said today. The program seems
by all means the most effective way in
which to exert Americas force at once
in telling fashion.
I'VE can train thousands of aviatorS
and build thousands of machines with
out interfering in the slightest with
the plans for building up our armies
and for supplying the allies with food
and munitions.
To train and equip our armies and
send them abroad will take time how
ever. and in the peanwhile we can be
deroting to this most important service
vast quantities of productive machinery
and skilled labor, which otherwise
could not be contributing to the ma
tons cause in full proportion to its
capacity.

"Ail through the coming year we shall
have to reckon with the shipping prob
lem, and whatever aid we send abroad.
whether in men or in supplies. must be
calculated for securing as efficient a use
as possible of available tonnage.
The aircraft plan meets the demands
of the situation. According to the best
obtainable Information there are about
100000 men on the western front
today The addition of a few infantry
units, while of great moral value, will
have little effect in forcing a decision. A
few thousand trained aviators, how
ever. with the machines for their use,
may spell the whole difference between
victory and defeat.

ALFALFA AGAIN
SCORES STRONG
IN The STATE
N. D. A. G. Says 1t Out
classes Other Hay Crops
in Yield This Year

Alfalfa has scored in great style
this year. according to the North
Dakota Agricultural college extern
sion department.
Alfalfa has beaten the other hay
crops again." says a department hull
letin, out today. 1T has produced
more hay per acre than has any
other hay crop. This is not the whole
story as alfalfa has a higher feed
ing value than any of the other hay
crops. The composition of alfalfa is
about the same as that Of wheat
bran. This means that when alfalfa
hay is fed less grain will be required
than when other hay is used. Then
again when a stand of Grimm alfalfa
is secured 1t will last for a good
many years, unless some unusual
condition should occur, as being COW
cred with a sheet of ice. 90.
The farmer who has a field Of
alfalfa this year is, indeed, FORUM
ate. Many who are not fortunate
enough. to have an alfalfa field have
expressed themselves as determined
to start one next year."

PACKING HOUSE
STRIKE SETTLED
Federal Mediator Brings
Employees and Employ
ers to Understanding
(By Associated Press

Omaha, Sept. 1.-THE most ex-
tensive strike in the packing house
industries in the history of South
Omaha was settled satisfactorily late
yesterday through the efforts of
Frederick L. Feick, government me-
diator and the men all returned to
work this morning. All employees are
to receive an advance Of 2k cents
an hour in wages, all strikers are to
be reinstated without discrimina-
ton; the employees are to be per-
mitted to organize unions: packing
house managers agree to meet COM
mittees of their employees to adjust
grievances; hiring for each plant is
to be done by one man.
Mr.. Feick, who arrived here Mon
day had been in almost continuous
conference with one side or the 9TH
er drawing from each such conces-
sions as were necessary to bring
about an agreement and IL was an
eloquent appeal from him to their
patriotism as Americans that won
the overwhelming vote OF 'ratifica-
ton from the mass meeting.

Markets
WHEAT RECEIPTS AT
MILL CITY GREATER

Minneapolis, Sept. 12.-wheat re-
cetpts at Minneapolis yesterday, All
cars VS.. AS a. year ago, were eneour-
aging, for they were considerably in
excess of full twenty-four hours re-
quirements of the mills, Flour ship
ments were 10000 barrels, nearly a
full time output for the local mills.
This is equal to $4,000 bushels OF
wheat. The receipts yesterday morn
ing amounted to $4,000 bushels, or
1900 bushels to the car. Eighty-flve
per cent of this, the allowance to
Minneapolis mills, is 100000 bushels,
or 1866 in excess of the amount
ground in the last twenty-four hours.
Thus 1t appears the mills are accumu-
lating little wheat in their private
bins.
Duluth had the first real movement
of wheat up to the present time,
namely, 210 cars VS.. 26S year ago.
Winnipeg received $50 cars VS.. 212 a
''S'IA- q
Trade in the local oats pit is light
er, but there was a. fair volume, at
that. 1t can be said that an oats flu
lures market in Minneapolis is now
established upon a sound basis. Trad
ing is at times during the session as
active as wheat trading used ito be
and total transactions are large.
owing to the crop failure in North
Dakota and Montana, which has
caused big demand from that re-
gion, the Minneapolis market has got
out of alignment with Chicago. This
market has for several weeks been
above a shipping basis to Chicago.
Shipments of oats from western
Minnesota are steadily being made to
North Dakota and Montana. The final
effect on the Minneapolis market will
be the same as IL the crop were
smaller. The deficiency to the west
will in large part be made up by ship
ments from western and southern
Minnesota.
Receipts of oats at Minneapolis
yesterday were liz cars. -. ...
Barley receipts were about the
same as a year ago-153 cars VS.. 155
The market was easier, due to a lack
of orders from maltsters. Apparent
~ they have satisfied their immediate
requirements At any rate, they are
not inclined to load up very heavily
at the present level of prices nor to
FOLLOW the advance any further.

WANT TO CUT
DOWN BUDGET
City Commission DESTROYS
of Lessening Load of
Fargo Taxpayers

The city budget for the fiscal year
bills may be cut down to some
extent IL economies advocated and
cuts proposed in various items this
morning hold until the first reading
has been completed.
Reading and discussion of the
budget occupied most OF the time at
the regular meeting of the city
commissioners this morning. The
reading will be continued Thursday
morning. The budget must have re-
ceived two readings, and be passed
not later than Friday.
Owing to war conditions and the
fact that the school board has great
ly increased it's budget, members Of
the commission feel that every
saving and economy they can effect
in the administration of the various
city departments will be lifting u
small load from the back Of the av-
erage taxpayer. s.,
The budget, as originally drawn
up, called for $217 ,308.71, which is
about the same as last year. rhe
commissioners want to clip as much
as possible from that figure.

This is the praise from the pen Of

who in the current issue of The
Horse Review, tells Of the work or
Willie Smith of Fargo. the 15-year-
old driver Of Busy Time, both drtv-

track for the last three years.
THE youngest professional driver

Iowa State fair at Des Moines for
his paper "Marque" says 1t was his
fifth visit to the Hawkeye fair, and
that he can say without qualification
that il eclin1ed the previous ones
which he attended, far and away.

ever since. When / introduced him
to Dick Mcmahon and told him Will

"T started in when / was your
age, and have been around so long
that they called me an old man,

Busy Time 81 times in 1915 and
1915, was only out of the money
once, and in nine starts this season
has won four races, three seconds,
one third. and was in an accident on
one occasion.
