.SPRING.SEEDING

The Van Dusen Harrington Com
pany have issued the following crop
survey: ,a,... {%:F : ... q,
Since our report of a week ago, the
weather has been more favorable for
seeding. While there have been rains
in some sections, the northwest had
several days of sunshine accOmpan-
led by winds.
The ground has dried to some eX-
tent and on the lighter soil has al
lowed plowing and seeding to con-
tinue. On the heavier soil in many
localities no seeding whatever has
been done and most of our cores
pOndents report that it will be about
three weeks later than last year.
There seems to be shortage Of
help in number of places, while in
others there is sufficient.
In some parts of Minnesota and
South Dakota from twenty-five to fiji
ty per cent of the wheat crop is in
the ground, but this condition applies
to only few localities. Some re-
ports indicate that in places seeding
may not start for a week OR, ten days.
In these places where seeding is so
late, the contemplated wheat acreage
will undoubtedly be reduced. The
afrmers figure that wheat sown so
late is liable to be caught by the black
rust which we have had for the past
five or six years or by hot winds in
July

WON'T TAKE CASE
FROM STATE TO
FEDERAL COURTS

Fargo, April 25-Judge c. F. Ami
don Of the United States district court,
today denied a motion FOR the re-
manding to the state courts of the
suit brought by the relation of Attor-.
ney General William Langer, against
the Great Western Grain company,
the Powers Elevator company, the Oc-
cident Elevator company and the Mon
arch Elevator company, all Minnesota
corporations, in which damages are
sought on the charge that the com-
panies controlled the grain market. in,
such manner as to inflict losses on
North Dakota grain producers.
The motion was denied ON the
ground that the act of congress of
August, 1917 gives control of the dis
tribution Of food exclusively to the
United -States:H% :
The suit was originally started in
the Burleigh county district court, and
was transferred to the federal court
on the motion of the defendants.
The state, through Attorney Gen
eral Langer, then asked that the case
be restored to the state courts, con-
tending that the federal court had no
jurisdiction. 1t was this motion that
was argued this morning and which
Judge Amidon denied.
Judge S. l.. Nuchols of Mandan, and
A. E. Sheets, assistant attorney gen.
cral, argued the motion today for the
state, and Judge Simpson of Mime
apolis, E. T. Conmy Of Fargo, and An
drew Miller of Bismarck, argued the
case for the defendant companies.

Also, Mr.. Waters letter in which

more interesting in view of the at
tempt of the Courier-News yesterday
to give Waters credit for opening tht
