cation for various causes early in
the winter, and where these causes
no longer exist. There are number
of married men with only one or

Class One. The compulsary allot-
ment and family allowance for de-
pent wife and one child is $35 per
month, and IS per month for each

the reclassi6cation without disturb
ing farmers and farm workers, if
possible.

aside one week this month to consid-
SSef doubtful cases aand II eeMsaaUry IS 81 to
give hearings. Government appeal

III. Mission Conference

Following is taken in part from
an article written for the McLauRh-
lin Messenger, last week, by g. w.
Reed reporting the district meeting
of the North and South Dakota
Indian Congregational churches
held at Fort Yates the first of the
month:
One action of the Mission Council
was notable. Rev. Geo. w. Reed,
Mission Supt. on Standing Rock
Reservation, showed a letter from
Father Ketcham Of the Catholic
Bureau, Washington, D. c., written
him by Cato Sells, the commission
er Of Indian affairs, asking that the
Catholics do not hold their annual
meeting at Fort Yates June % to
July 3, this year. The Episcopal
ians hold their annual meeting in
August. The Congregationalists al
ways hold their annual meeting
with the Presbyterians in the first
week in September. There are 19
Congregational and SO Presbyterian
churches, 80 that often 5000 or 1000
camp together for nearly week at
some chosen Indian chapel.
The vote at this meeting was that
we do not, for patriotic reasons,
meet in September this year, and 80
save the expense for travel and the
time for. harvest. :
It was also voted to reopen the
Mission Boarding School at Fort
Yates, and authority given by New
York office to spend $400 for fuel
at once. The school had been
broken into and nearly 5000 worth
Of furniture and furnishings stolen.
The fine organ was stolen but Mrs,
Riggs led the music finely without
an organ. All the dishes had beer
stolen but the Indians made gooe
the LOSE. All the bedding was stolen
but Prin. Witzlcben kindly loaned
all the new blankets needed for TIN
eight superintendents. The wine
/. had been stolen, but Father Ber.
nard gave us the wine-f for our com
mupion service.

numerous farmers plowed down

leaving the rye. Rye conditions
more favorable in southern than in

could not be more promising, nor
prospect better at this season. The
same is also true of Emmons and
Grant counties in North Dakota,
and Corson county in South Dakota.
Through this section there is a large

uC 0UNGI1ulCllt CIOp ACpOAV AOA
June LIST issued by the U. s. Bureau
of Crop Estimates shows that the
farmers Of North Dakota, and Of
other states, have gone over the top
in very commendable manner in
answer to the national call for 9
greater wheat acreage this season.
Spring wheat acreage in North
Dakota is estimated to be 1850, 600
acres. This is an increase of 8 per
cent above the 1000, 600 acreage Of
last season and practically up to the
five year acreage Of Z, ,657 600 acres,
In addition to the national wheat
drive other important factors favor.
ed an increased wheat acreage. Sup-
ply Of seed wheat was the most
plentiful generally Of all spring sown
grains and of excellent quality. Soil
was in fine shape for field work.
Spring opened up usually early and
remained almost continuously ideal
for seeding a large acreage much
earlier than the average thus largely
reducing the possibility Of serious
rust later. Excepting some counties
chiefly in the north central part Of
the state where rye acreage was
heavy nearly all counties show a
substantially increased wheat acre.
age. Increase is especially heavy in
western counties.
Spring wheat acreage in the U. S.,
estimated to be- %, 489, 600 acres
compared with ], Is, ,511, 600 acre5
year and a five year acreage Of 18,
4O6, 900 acres.
Condition Of wheat in North
Dakota estimated to be 90 per cent
compared with 86 per cent a year
ago and a five year average of SO
per cent. Indicated production is
90, 247, 900 bus. compared to sc, 600
600 bus. last year and five year
acreage of 99,l12,OOO bus. From
early growth period up to the
second week in May the wheat crop
was subjected to the worst whipping
by winds in the state records. Num-
erous severe frosts kept setting the
crop back as late as May 10Th.
Early seeding, however, had given
the crop a vigorous, deep root growth
and with the advent of general rains
during the last two weeks of May,
the crop showed wonderful recovery
exceeding all earlier expectations.
Slight and spotted damage is noticed
occasionally, but the actual loss of
acreage from frost and wind is
confined to occasional summer fall

northern part of the state, which
were largely resown to feed. crops

W. S. Scharge of Luray Mo, is

his pocket and dashed to the pave
ment a flask of what is presumed to
have been whisky. But the evidence
ran down cracks between the bricks

fined for intoxication, as the best
that could be done in the case.
