OF A WHEAT CROP
North Dakota Has Big Place in the
Wheat Production Scheme of
the Nation

With the formal declaration by the
National Congress of a state of war
with Germany, no other factor in the
nation situation is Of greater import
ance at this moment than intelligent,
precautionary preparations to secure
the largest possible acreage of land
under cultivation, and particularly in
the food crops, during the coming
season. War brings with it its drain
on agricultural resources as on no 9TH
er industry. The population must be
fed. If, unfortunately, weather con-
ditions should be unfavorable, and the
yield no better than last years, the
food situation next year will be so
much worse than it is now that we
may well take alarm while vet there is
time to provide against the possibility.
North Dakota is by great odds the
largest producer Of spring wheat in
the Union, and on North Dakota must
rest considerable portion of the re-
sponsibility Of feeding not only its
own people, but the population Of 9th
er states and in assisting in provision
ing the nations armies.
The present crop year began with
, a large carry-over of all the grains,
but it will end without reserves, and
the whole world will be dependent up
on the crops Of 1917. The beginning
is not good. The Argentine wheat
crop, now harvested, is so nearly a
failure that there will be little for ex-
port, and the corn crop will not be
much better. The Australian wheat
crop, which, like that Of Argentine,
is harvested in the months of our win
ter, is estimated at 139,392,000 bush
els, against 187, 100000 last year, but
| fortunately there is a carry-over esti-
mated at 8O,000,000 bushels. A semi
official report puts the condition Of
| French winter wheat at IS per cent,
against IA last year, and states that
owing to lack Of fertilizer and want
| of proper preparation of the SOIL the
4 yield will be below normal. The crop
| of Holland is unpromising, and Of
England backward. In the United
! States there has been shortage Of
moisture in the principal winter wheat
states. The plant is not known to be
{ injured, and there is yet time for suf-
! fcient moisture to come, but If it was
under a snow covering, the outcome
would be better assured. A freeze has
cut off the early vegetable crop in the
southern states, which would have soon
relieved the present scarcity.
/ There are unusual features in the
situation which deserves attention.
High wages in town industries have
been drawing men from the farms,
The farmers outlay for seed and all
expenses is higher, and while high
prices for products are usually ex-
pected to stimulate larger production,

Farmers are busy cleaning grain
and getting ready for the spring work.
Alfred Larson from Benson, Mimi,
is back to North Dakota again and
will work at the carpenter trade.

work them. There are certain common
vegetables which make up a large part
of the food supply, such as potatoes,
beans, onions, ETC., which do we'll and
can be grown in a small way without
machinery, whose production this year
in ample quantities should be assured
beyond chance of doubt.
North Dakota's legions of sunshine,
soil and air should and must take an
active part in the industrial and mar
tial call to arms.

In ordinary times we can draw on
other countries to make up for domes-
tic shortage. We have frequently i'm
ported potatoes from Europe, and the
effects of not being able to do so now
are apparent. 1t is just as important
under present conditions to have re-
serves of food as reserves of cart
ridges. A nation cannot fight on an
empty stomach. When so much is de-
pendent upon a good crop, it is the

When Douglas Fairbanks took advan-

tract with the Majestic Motion Picture
Company as an excuse to break away
with his director, John Emerson, the
company Immediately set out in legal
pursuit of their agile star Before the
actor could carry through his plans to
start his own company the lawyers Of
the Majestic organization had over
hauled him.
At present Fairbanks is under injunc-
ton forbidding him to act for any other
company, and is also facing a suit for
S250,000, alleging breach Of contract.
A similar action has been brought
against Emerson, asking 100000 dam
ages. Argument to make the injunction
permanent will be heard before Justice
Newburger next Tuesday.

According to the plaintiff, Fairbanks
turned his back upon $4,000 a week TO
set up a movie company of his own.
Emerson was receiving $3.50 a week.
The stars contract was made IN
October of 1915 and was TO continue
until October, 1918. He began his work
at $4,000 a week, with the understand
ing that he was TO receive an increase

Term-11 Weeks Case
Cost $4,000

After a trial lasting eleven weeks
the longest on record in New York, and
one that cost the taxpayers of the
county more than $70.000-the jury IN
the case of Irving Wechsler, alias
"Waxey Gordon" charged with the
murder of Frederick Strauss, City Court
clerk. returned verdict of mot guilty.
last evening. Although Judge Cram. oil
General Sessions, discharged Wechsler.
the defendant will be returned TO sing
Sing. where he will serve out term
of two years for grand larceny, end
ing March 10 next.
Wechsler was q lieutenant of the
"Dopey Benny" Fem gang, which acted
as "strong arm" escort for unions IN
the garment workers strike. The
Shooting of Strauss occurred on Jan
nary Q. 1914, during a street fight IN
St Marks Place, between the "Dopey
Benny" group and the "Chick Tricca"
clan. which represented the employers
"Waxey's" defence combined an allDl
and the contention that the shooting
in which Strauss was killed was ar
ranged by Joseph Rosenzweig, alias
"Joe the Greaser," a picturesque mem
Der of the Fein gang, who turned states
evidence and was the chief witness Tor
the prosecution. Louis Fridiger was
assigned To defend Wechsler. Assist
ant District Attorney Roesch had
charge of the prosecution.
The trial consumed forty-nlne court
DAYS, and 1,560,641 words of testimony
were taken down by the court stenog-
raphers, making ten volumes Of the
record. The average time consumed by
the prosecution in the examination OF
the ninety-three witnesses was two
hours. Counsel for the defence re-
ouired an average of two days each for
discrimination.
The jurors. all of whom were active
business men drawn from speciai
panel, suffered large financial losses
during the eleven weeks of trial. One:
a builder, lost contract that would
have Melted him $4,000. Another de-
clared that he had lost $4,000 because
he could not get time to put through
a real estate deal he had planned be-
fore he was drawn. The usual mini
mum pay would have been SllO, but
Judge Grain exercised his prerogatlve
by increasing it to $3.50, which is about
S3l a week for each juror.
Near the end of the case Judge Grain
cited Mr. Fridiger and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Mancuso for contempt
because they branded each other as a
liar" in open court. Mancuso was
purged of contempt yesterday by Judge
Grain, but Fridiger was held until
March 5. when his case will be decided
