The Farm and
The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Talking about "tall' corn, consider
the stalks shown by Jesse Kellum and
Ed o. Paul, at Dublin last week. Kel.
lum's measured 16 feet 1 inch and
PauPs Is feet II inches in height, and
kellum got first money.
Talking further about corn, the Cook
Milling company folks at Middleton o
say that from the best information
obtainable they think that corn up
their way needs from two to three
weeks of good weather for maturing.
The Cooks say that somewhat fewer
farmers have sold their wheat this
year, than last, partly because the
elevators were full when they thresh-
ed, and this forced them to store 1t,
at least for a time. They have also
taken in less wheat this season, be-
cause less was grown. Wheat Is
worth $2.40 at Middleboro. No silo
filling yet done.
Fine Seed Leaf Tobacco.
Winfield Brown, of Preble, living
! nine miles east of Richmond, has a
fine six acre crop of seed leaf, much
of it standing four feet tall. Some of
this tobacco is now hanging, and the
rest will be cut as fast as possible.
Not being able to get help, Mrs
Brown has ben mighty helpful" says
the husband, land we are doing the
very best we can to save the crop in
good condition" This tobacco is ex
pected to make between 1000 and
1000 pounds Of cured leaf to the
acre.
Many Have Sold Wheat.
Asked as to the percentage of farm

summer, compared with last year, the

ALL INDIANA CROPS
LOOK BETTER NOW
THAN A MONTH AGO

The monthly report of the co-opera-
tive crop reporting service for Indi-
ana, issued today. shows an improve
ment in nearly all crops over a month
ago, the most notable of which are
corn and oats crops; the former shows
an increase of 5,605,00 bushels.
Glover seed shows an especially large
increase over last year, being los, 000
bushels larger. The report follows:
The condition of corn, as a whole.
shows a slight improvement over last
month, and is due principally to good
rains in the southern part of the state.
Good rains also occurred in some of
the northern counties, but came too
late to be of material help.
SO Per Cent of Normal.
The condition figure for Sept. 1 was
SO per cent Of normal, and indicates
a total production of 184, 10000 BUSH
els. as compared with 177.924,00O
bushels shown for last month, and
175.750. 900 bushels last year.
Along the western and northern
part of the state there is some very
poor corn, especially on sandy and
clay soils, where 1T is badly fired
The bottom corn generally is in good
condition. But little of the crop will
mature under three weeks and 1t vii
take six weeks for a great deal of it
A killing frost before Oct. would dc
heavy damage.
Farmers should zegin to examine
their corn just as soon as possible
next year.
The condition of spring wheat al
time of harvest was 60 per cent oil
normal and indicates total produc
ton of 47,000 bushels compared with
81, 900 bushels shown for Aug. 1. an
22S, 600 bushels last year. The Qualit,
is only fair.
Oats Were 90 per Cent.
Oats turned out better than was ex
pected in nearly all sections of the
state. This is especially true of thu
early sown crop, which yielded {
splendid quality of heavy oats. Late
sown oats were much lighter, but gen
orally of good quality.
The condition at time of harves
was So per cent. of normal which indi

RESOLUTIONS ON
THISTLE PROBLEM
ADOPTED BY BUREAU

The executive board of the Grand
Forks county farm bureau meeting at
the court house on Monday afternoon
adopted these resolutions, recon-
mending to the county commissioners
definite action regarding the problem
of the sow-thistle INF this county,.
Whereas, that in view of the con-
slant and every increasing menac
from the unchecked spread of per-
ennial Sow thistle and that, ',
Further, because Of the fact that
until united spontaneous action is
taken by the land of the
county to prevent this weed from
Towering it is obviously impractical to
thoroughly summer-till infested terri
tory because Of danger Of reinfesta-
ton.
Therefore be it resolved. that we
urgently recommend to the County
Commissioners the calling Of a gen.
eral and-oficial meeting of township
boards in Grand Forks during the first
week in June for the purpose of con-
sidering such propositions as the de-
claring>o of a general sow-thistle eradi-
cation week. the enforcement of the
new sow-thistle control law and to
,dfscuss,the problem Of the moving of
SOW thistle on railroad rights of way,

The Grand. Forks Builders and

Commercially CLUB in regular monthly
session tonight. The business meet
ing will be preceded .by a dinner at
6:15 O'clock.
Only routine matters will be~con-

It is considered likely however. that
the so-caIled agreement between the
unions and contractors. whereby only
union help is to be employed, viii
come up for further consideration.
So far, the majority Of the contrac-
tors have not signed the agreement.
Only the three paint contractors. it
was said, had signed up. The agree
ment, briefly, means that a plumber,
for instance, cannot put non-union
help on a job ins a building being
built by union. carpenters.
The question was considered last
week at a conference between build
ers and traders and union representa-
tives, but no agreement was reached.

Roscoe Mackean of Grand Forks,

Mr. Mackean. who will graduate
from the course in commerce Vat the
university, will enter the class of the
International Banking Corporation, a
ba mixing organization affiliated with
the National City Bank. Practically
the only difference between the two

mostly.in South America.
Three undergraduates may be nomi-
mated each year by the universities
INK colleges to which the National
City Bank extends this privilege and
from these nominations, the final Sc
lection is made. A man must be

Mr.. Mackean will enter the bank
