The harvest Is fully ten days earlier
than expected, the grain being hurried
To maturity by the hot weather in the
three growing months-May, June ana
July.
Reports vary as to the condition OF
the crop. Black rust has made inroads
in the eastern part of the state. IN
the western region there are some dis
tricts that will have a light crop, nut
there are sections that crop better than
any for four years and will have
fair yield.
Williams county, in the main, was
a good profit accordingly. 1t Is on the
extreme west edge Of the state but has
been fortunate in securing opportune
rains. Around Minot the conditions
are fair: In Mercer county 10 bushel
average is anticipated; Morton Will
range of three to ten bushels; Stark
viii average about five bushels; DIVIDE
county, in the far northeast corner OF
the state, has prospect Of three 70
five bushel crop OF wheat "A. b. LONE

thinks Ward county will have ten
bushel average; Ramsey, in the central
east district, will harvest an average
crop Of wheat, with other crops also
about normal: Sioux county adjoining
the Missouri river on the west at the
South Dakota border, will have crop
slightly better than the average slope
district county.
The harvest has started with wages
fair and farm help plentiful, with an
absence Of radical agitation, according
to. special representatives or the
United States department OF labor
who have arrived in the state to engin-
eer the harvest season.

Austrian governmental affairs have
recently been I'm a rather unsettled
state. The peace terms presented by
the allied powers to the Austrians at st.
Germain have been stoutly protested
against In OFFICIAL circles in Vienna.
The financial provisions being consi-
dered as very onerous.
Last week Dr.. Otto Bauer, the for
eign minister. resigned his post, largely
1t was said, because OF dissatisfaction
Mt his failure 20 obtain important ad-
vartages in the negotiations leading up
to the peace treaty. Chancellor Rem
ner. however. filled the gap caused by
DR.. Bauer's resignation by taking over
the duties himself.

Market the Food.

Some means should be devised to
give the people the full benefit OF the
government prices at which this food
was purchased. 1t should be marketed
at once and In a manner which VIII
remove the possibility Of It's getting
into the hands Of profiteers. The idea
that any serious depression Of the mar
kets would be caused by releasing
S12O, 100000 worth of food to 100000
900 people is ridiculous. In any event
the people, whose money bought the
foodstuffs not now required for the
army, have first claim upon the con-
sideration Of the government.--Wash-
ington Post.

Coal Alarm, and the Public.

Coal Alarms and the Public.
But the Evening World (New York;
believes the public is quite right in re-
fusIng to heed these alarms. It is
frankly skeptical; it calls the sortase
a myth" 1t quotes coal-dealers both
in Pennsylvania and New York City as
denying the existence Of q shortage,
and 1t observes editorially:
Having helped by their own saving
and sacrifice to avert the worst effects
Of a coal shortage for which they were
told to blame the extra demands Of
war. coal-consumers in the United
States are now warned to prepare
themselves for coal famine as one
Of the first accompaniments Of re-
stored peace.
"They are asked to swallow whole
the explanation put forth by the coal
interests that withdrawal Of labor
from the coal-mining industry is the
chief cause of the threatened shortage
and to buy coal at such times-and at
such prices-as the coal operators de-
cree.
"Is labor turning back on the coal
industry or slaekening It's work In the
mines to a degree that bears out the
coal mems contention?
1.-THE Evening Worlds inquiries in
Pennsylvania mining districts, show
that, on the contrary. there is no rush
Of miners away from the mines, that
returning soldiers have applied IN
vain for jobs at the collieries, and that
the miners are only too willing to work
six full days a week for the high pay
they are now getting.
ut is furthermore well known that
many of the mines are shut down for
weeks at time earlier in the spring,
altho the big coal-operators could for
see this year as well as any other the
approximate amount of coal that would
be required to meet coming demands.
'sThey did not want to meet those
demands with increased supplies OF
coal that must result in lowering
prices. SO they1regulated the output.
Shortage of labor and transporta-
tion can always be played up to ten
times their actual significance when
eyer the coal -barons have to explain
why coal is never mined and marketed
in quantities that would mean
movement Of coal prices downward.
