COUNTY FlFEl'T'I''E|
IS TOBE HELD
FOR SOLDIERS
COMMITTEES Appointed toAr.

stration Soon.

A- ..As.. ~EfT.G.@.
At the directors meeting held IN
n Commercial club yesterday, al
COMMITTEES was elected for the pur-'
pose OF making arrangements for a
county I celebration In honor OF the
men who Will be drafted as members
OF the national army.
The personnel OF the committee has

plans assumed any definite shape, but
1t Is expected that the date and other
few days.
It is felt that the young men who
are to represent Grand Forks, county
'op the European ,battlef1elds should
be h~onored5tn some impressive man
ner and 1t Is therefore the aim Of the
demonstrauon which will carry an
appeal to every resident in the city
and county.
A member OF the Commercial club
said today that probably a pageant
would be arranged and. also, thai
there would be IN. elaborate program
Of speeches.. band music, and patri-
otto singing. He felt certain that the
fitting climax to this summers series
ofSpatrtotic celebrations, and it would
be even more patriotic in its char
acter than any of its predecessors be-
cause of the fact. that now a. great
number of homes have become more
directly "A intimately involved in
the affairs of.a nation at war than
before. By the time the celebration
Is to be held the Grand Forks county
contingency Of designated soldiers
will be ready to leave for training
camps in order to prepare themselves
for actual field work, and for this
reason nearly, every home in the city
and county will feel a peculiarly per-
sonal interest in the coming celebra-
ton.

GOODMAN SAYS
FEED MUST BE
SAVED Inn. D.
Chairman Of new Committees
Speaks About Vital In
terests of Farmers.

Regarding the present feed stu
alton in North Dakota, F. J.. Good
man, chairman Of the committee on
forage o Z ,the Commercial club, said
today that there are very large areas
in the state which lack feed, and that
for this reaso the local club stands
ready to effect a form of organized
ties SO as to make feed distribution
even. ~,
"The situation is this" Mr.. Good
mar said, "that a number Of farmers
are facing the. probability Of either
disposing of their live stock or finding
in sufficient quantities and reas1
onably cheap. AS conditions are now,
the demand cannot be met as in
former years. People must save
everything that has any feed value
whatever, and they must wake up to
the necessity Of going far in economic
ing If they want to preserve the live
stock of the state ,m
1.-THE committee expects to be able
to render systematic and efficient aid
to the farmers In this way that the
men who have no feed or very little
of it, be supplied, and that those who
have large quantities on hand be In
duced to sell at a cost which will not
be prohibitive to the live stock raiser.
ut must be one Of the purposes Of
the work to keep as much feed within
the state as possible. and for this
reason 1t is necessary to enter into an
cooperation with the farm
ers' SO that our committee can become
a o l. Of q clearing house Of informa-
ton for the buyers as well as for the
of feed. 1t goes without say
ing that our facilities and the infor-
we have on hand justify our
that our committee will
be able to produce some valuable re-
suits. and we are already assured OF
the hearty support Of the farmers in
whose behalf we are ~exerting our

EASTERN YIELD
IN this STATE
FAIR TO GOOD"
Crop Outlook in Eastern
Part of State Fair
West Very Poor. !

The monthly report ofs,the crop-and
business conditions in the Ninth fed
reserve district. from John H.
Rich. chairman and federal reserve
agent. follows in part:
THE chief interest in the crop sit
uation of this date centers on condi-
tons in North Dakota and Montana.
far as North Dakota is concerned,
the outlook in the eastern one-third
of h state Is fair to good. and in the
remainder Of the state is poor. In
eastern Montana. the. crops are poor
northeastern counties than; in the
central counties and Yellowstone lvalsI
ley district. In the western half OF
the state the outlook is fair to good,
with a poorer prospect in the north
ern part than in the south.
Rains Too Late.
1T is apparent that the recent
rains have come too late to do any
great amount Of good in North Da-
okota, while the hot winds Of the past
week have done considerable harm.
A narrow strip Of territory. including
the countries along the eastern boun-
dairy Of, the state, give promise of
from II to IL bushels Of wheat! The
region north, and west, including
Ramsey. Cavalier and Towner -coun-
ties promises about 8 bushels, with
many a spots. South and west
from Fargo, including Barnes, Stuts-
man and Lamoure counties. the OUT
look is for from 8 to 9 bushels. West
Of Devils Lake in Benson. Pierce and
part Of Bottineau county the outlook
is for from z to 8 bushels.
fNIn a general way, the territory
east Of a line drawn from Bottineau
through jamestown, to the southern
boundary Of he state. will. include
the territory within which wheat Is
a fair to good crop. West of that
line, with the exception of some small
localities, the average will be from 3
to 3 Ia bushels, with a number of
localities in which the crop is burned
up and damaged to such an extent
that the farmers cannot ecove seed.
""As soon as one reaches Minot the
crops begin to grow thin and a little
farther west there is absolutely moth
Ing" Is the statement Of F. j. Dins-
more. state inspector of barber shops,
who has covered the state from north
to south and east to west. in an au-
tomobile during the last few days.
Crops from Grand Forks to Fargo
through the Lisbon. Wahpeton and
Buffalo county the crops are In ok
|tcellent condition, according to the OBJ
servations of Mr.. Densmore. In many
sections west of Minot the farmers
are cutting grass only a few inches
in height in an effort to grub some lit
tie forage for the live stock fromtthe
total failure Of the crops.
Conditions In some sections OF the
western part Of the state are pitiful...'
Mr.. Densmore said as the farmers
paid high prices for selected seed, and
following the advice of the govern
ment planted all available space In
depreciation Of a bumper crop. and
in many the farmers secured
~extensive credit from the merchants
and the total failure OF their crops
will render them unable to meetstheir
obligations.
