 BIGGER WHEAT CR0F

As a war measure the government has recently entered into an agree ment by which the wheat growing area of the United States will be increased by about 100000 acres, adding an cs- timated volume of 100000 bushels to the ccuntry's production. Negotia- tions looking to this arrangement were begun some time ago between Frank D. Thackery of this city, supervisor of farming on Indian reservations throughout the west, and Thomas D. Campbell of the Red River Valley, N. D. and Pasadena. one of the greatest wheat growers of the country. When the negotiations had been concluded, they were given the approval of Cato Sells.

Arrangement Concluded

The arrangement consists in leas- ing the land 10 a company which Mir. Campbell will organize and which will finance the enterprise. The govern ment had previously tried to bring this land under cultivation for wheat by making leases to individual farmers. But, though the land all lies in proven wheat belts, much of it is in unsettled partS Of the courtfv

To Lease Sacaton Land

Though not q part of this arrange menc, the government is preparing to lease about 50,000 acres of land of the Sacaton Indian reservation to indi, vidual farmers. That will be irrigated by pumping and it only remains to be determined by the government what kind of power shall be employed in pumping, electric or gasoline engine.

Land is All New Land

The land is new land, grass land, and a part of it will be cultivated by ir- rigation ard a part of it by dry farm ing. The first crop which will natur- ally not be full one will be available year after next and thereafter, judg- ing by the production in the parts of 1 the country where these lands lie, there will be the added volume of 4,00O, ,000 bushels annually. The total average wheat crop of the world is 4.O00. 900, 900 bushels and that of the United States slightly in excess of one billion. An addition of 1-250th to that total would afford a considerable relief of the shortage which is now apparent.

CONTRACT LET FOR BIG
POTATO HOUSE AT BERTHOLD

| Berthold Tribune: Ground was
broken for the largest potato ware
house in the state of North Dakota
and one of the largest in the United
States. 1t will be two-story struc-
ture 16O by "a feet with an estimate
storage capacity of 100000 bushels of
potatoes. The lower story will be
erected of IL inch hollow thing with
five air spaces and the upper will be
constructed of tile and brick. Two
driveways on each floor will extend
the entire length of the building to
facilitate the work during the rush
season. 1t will also be equipped with
an electric elevator, sorters and other
modern machinery to handle potatoes
properly. The building will have a
frontage of 100 feet along the Great
Northern track thus permitting the
loading of three cars at once if desir-
Cd.
T. T. Sterud of Elbow Lake, Mimi,
was awarded the building contract.
He had crew of men and teams max
ing the necessary excavation on the
ground the next day and will push the
work as rapidly as possible in order
to take car of this seasons crop. The
plans and specifications were prepared
by A. Fraser of Minot.

is S22,5OO.00.

report reviewing general business
conditions the Committee on Stats
tics and Standards of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States, head
ed by A. w. Douglas of St. Louis,
points out that though manufacturing
plants are fully employed great diff
Guilty is experienced in obtaining suf-
ficient cars, labor and materials. Re-
duction of styles in manufacturing
products it is set forth has been well
coined by manufacturers as we'll as
by merchants as necessary conserv-
alton of manpower and materials.
Mining operations are in full blast
but the industry is suffering from the
labor and transportation shortage.
The lumber industry is doing we'll
but is hampered by lack of cars and
labor. Kindred industries such as
building and construction, however,
are virtually at a standstill. 1t is
poin4ed out that ultimately the lack If
construction operations and other de-
velopments must be felt to a greater
degree by lumber producers.
Labor, the report declares, is not
as efficient as compared with normal
times, due largely to calling to the col
ors of experienced help and the sub
stitution of unskilled labor which has
a tendency to shift from one occupa-
ton to another. The situation is
marked by the steadily increasing
employment Of women which also is
said to be bringing decreased effic-
iency and increased cost of production.
1.-The general belief" the report
sets forth, ''inclines to the conviction
that business will continue much as
now during the war with possible ac-
centuation Of still higher prices, of
less buying of luxuries and of greater
economy in some directions"

torial writer on powerful organs Of

Of thinkers and workers who have
done much to shape English thought
in tho Ia Ct daco1a

audiences in 1914, since when he has
done great amount of lecturing in
this country.
