WEATHER IS
FAVORABLE FOR
WHEAT CROPS

Washington, D. c.. June 3.-Con-
tinued normal temperature and light
to moderate rainfall, except heavy
over some north-central districts, was
favorable for farm work and the
growth of vegetation but it was too
cool in the far northwest where frost
damaged tender vegetation.
The progress of the winter wheat
crop was good to very good or eX-
cellent over the principal producing
areas and mostly favorably else
where. The condition of the crop is
now excellent over the central great
plains area but it continues rather
poor in portions of the Ohio valley.
The weather was favorably for
spring wheat and the progress Of the
crop was mostly very good to excel
lent and the condition is mostly salts
factory.
Rapid advance was made in corn
planting over northern districts and
is nearly completed in many sections
The progress of this crop was very
good over the central and southern
states.
Rye, oats and barley continue to
make satisfa ctory advance in nearly
all sections and conditions were gen.
orally favorably for potatoes, truck,
gardens, pastures, ranges and mea-
dows, except that it was too cool IN
the far northwest.

CUSTER PARK TO
Be IMPROVED
THIS. ]. ! SEASON ] A ! |.
City Commission Plans on Putting
in Trees and Filling in Low
Places.

Bismarck's only near park Custer.
in the west end Of town will be im-
proved this summer. The City COM
mission last evening directed the city
engineer to fill in the low places with
black dirt, plant trees and take such
other steps as are necessary to make
real beauty spot out OF the small
area.
The lack of any recreation place
in Bismarck it being painfully en-
phasized as the warm weather ap-
proaches. While Custer park is too
small for general park. it will do
very we'll in the estimation of the
commission as rest spot. 1t is urg-
ed that benches should be placed out
without delay and other means taken
to make it real park.
Unless Ed Allen is successful in
knocking out the city tax levy, swim
ming pool will be established adj jac-
ent to Custer Park this summer.
There is real demand in the city
for a park system and some construc-
tive steps may be taken this summer
to that end. Cities inferior to Bis
marck in population and commercial
importance have two or three parks.
Here the children have to resort in
some instances to the streets for re-
creation. Students of city life know
full we'll that the lack Of any recrea-
ton area where play can be properly
supervised and made safe and clean.
is great drawback to municipal
development
1t has been suggested that the first
civic work for the Rotary club to
take up is creating public sentiment
for a park system Little need be
done. in that line as on every side
there IS an insistent demand for parks
so that everyone can enjoy some form
of recreation.
Such a park, it is urged, should be
equipped with a baseball diamond,
football field, tennis courts and gen
eral playground apparatus for the
youth and the older persons.

Chicago. June 3.-Two Republican
presidential candidates, Senator John
son Of California and Senator Harding
Of Ohio, arrived in Chicago today
marking the beginning of the active
days of the preconvention period.
Five days remain before the conven
ton convenes to pick it's candidates.
Everyone of the candidates except
Herbert Hoover is expected here at
sometime. Some of the chairmen Of
the incoming delegates are announcing
their preference. Political managers
on the side.lnes have found no reason
70 change their opinion that while
some of the candidates. have enough
delegates to give them formidable
fighting strength, it is going to take
more than two or three ballots to show
where forces Of conciliation and COM
promise must be applied to bring forth
a candidate.
AS the delegates begin to gather.
there is a fore runner OF the conven-
ton issues which are to be Incorporate
ed in the party platform.
Men interested in the platform are
busy lining up issues which they ex-
pect to make effective before the
platform committee.
The committeeman will find them
selves ready to- give attention to the
convention issues as soon as the con-
tests are settled.
Interest of women in convention is
responsible for the demand for tickets
which is greater than in past conven-
tons. Will Hays declared that he had
received 10000 requests for the 49,.
900 seats. More than LOO applica-
tons for the 500 press tickets have
been received. Requests from women
for tickets are unprecedented Mr..
Hays said.
"There are more applications than
seats" said Mr.. Hays.
1T was announced that the tickets
would be distributed Saturday.

the first referendum of farmers ever
taken in this country will be re-
ported tomorrow to the executive
! committee of the American Farm Blu
reau federation. The committee con-
venes here then for it's first called
meeting.
The referendum was taken on a
bill in congress to place special
tax on land. The farmers cast it
3357, 366 votes, and for it 1850 totes.
The number of counties voting was
J2l. The states numbered IS. They
were Wyoming, West Virginia, New
! Jersey, Missouri, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Michigan, Illinois, Minneso-
ta South Dakota, New York, Califor-
MIA, Indiana, Iowa. Ohio, Colorado,

nOs showed third in voting strength
in the referendum, casting 1926

The farmers referendum was TAX
en- on a bill introduced in the House
at Washington providing for the rails
| in of public revenues by tax on
the privileges of the use and enjoy

tax upon the privilege of the use and
enjoyment of such excess at the rate

In sending the referendum to the
farmers, the American Farm Bureau
federation said in explanations:
''The object Of this act is to raise
public revenues. 1t is not supposed
that it will do away entirely with.
but be supplementary to the present
| income tax laws. The proponents OF
| this and similar measures believe
| that land does not at present bear its
| Just proportion Of taxes as compared
to the industries.
'In considering this act you should
not allow the fact that the revenues
therefrom will come in principal part
| from the farmers to prejudice your
! judgment but should consider it in
relation to fairness TO other interests:
! and whether or not it would be OF
t sufficient burden to affect land values
rentals or incomes and thus affect
production
, Nearly half of the farmers voting
in favor of an extra land tax came
from Illinois. Here 1903 of the 226O
affirmative votes were cast. New

BANKERS SUPPORT
NEW CLUB WORK

The bankers of North Dakota are
very much interested in the Boys and
Girls Club work and especially in the
livestock clubs. o. A. Barton Of the
Extension Division has attended the
bankers sectional conference at Devils
Lake, Mnot and jamestown. He
states that there was great interest
shown among all present in the club
work and that the bankers are ready
TO do everything they can to help
further this line of extension work.
At NIinot the bankers adopted as a
slogan "one new live stock grower for
each bank" The idea back OF this be-
ing that every bank should encourage
and help finance at least one boy or
girl in livestock project. In this
way developing a livestock grower in
the territory of that bank. The bank
ers in many sections Of the state have
loaned boys and girls money to buy
purebred livestock and on very easy
terms. In many cases this has been
the means of getting purebred live
stock started on many farms. The
purebred pig and calf secured by a
bov or girl in their livestock CLUB
has in a great many cases become the
foundation stock far purebred live
stock on that farm, as we'll as on the
neigh boring farms. The boy or girl
that has become interested in pure
bred stock has also learned a great
deal about it and in nearly every case
it has meant that the father has from
then on taken a greater interest in
the livestock on the farm so that bet
ter results have been secured.
Resolutions were passed at these
meetings endorsing the Boys and
Girls Club Work and pledging moral
and financial support.
