Y" SUBSCRIBERS
CONE In STRONG

Out Of over 100 subscrip-
tions made in the recent 7. M. c.
A. war work campaign, sI1,-
507.60 has already been paid in
cash, according TO the treasurer,
Frank r. Scott, and only g sub
scriptiOns remain unpaid, aggre-
eating $240.
This surely speaks well for the
willingness of Fargo citizens who
have responded in a definite way
to this very important work, and
more especially in view Of the
fact that Fargo was asked to
contribute only 5000 and re-
sponded with subscriptions
amounting to ST. ,747.60.

the department OF agriculture esti-
mated the crop would be about 540,-
900 600 bushels. Efforts had been
made in the early fall to stimulate
production BY heavy planting, but
weather and other conditions were
adverse. The government had ain-
ed to have a crop OF $4,000. 900 bush
els OF winter wheat and relied upon
farmers to plant enough spring
wheat to bring the country's wheat
production this year TO more than J,
000. .000,o0 bushels. Weather condi-
lions through the winter have not
been adverse to the winter grain
crops, and early reports indicated
that the winter wheat and rye had
begun the spring in better condition
than had been expected. It was felt
from these indications that the pro-
duction forecasts today would be
larger than those estimated as re-
suit or the December conditions.
