WHEAT CROP FIGURES
Fields Show That Wheat Crop
viii be Record Breaker.

With little more favorable wealth
er the work of threshing out the big
wheat crop OF 1921 is now well under
way, and the returns from some OF
the threshing outfits coming in to our
office show that this years wheat crop
will be by far the largest ever harvest
ed in Prowers county.
While the yield per acre is not ex-
ceptional on either the irrigated or
dry land wheat, yet it is good on both
and holding up well as later returns
keep coming and with the largely in
creased acreage in both classes of crop
there is sure to be a record breaking
seasons harvest.
Here are few figures that We have
received recently that show that the
irrigated area is holding up to an aver
age above forty bushels per acre.
These figures are from some of the
large fields and are fairly representa-
tive of the entire irrigated area.
Herbert Heath, 40 bushels of wheat
and 10 bushels of barley per acre.
Peter Preston, 81 bushels of wheat
and 20 bushels of barley.
John G-auberger. AZ bushels Of
wheat.
Paul Gist, 4s bushels of wheat
Ernest Hagaman, 81 bushels of
wheat.
Fred Miller, 40 bushels of wheat.
W. b. Pendleton, 33 bushels Of
wheat.
Geo. Henry, 40 bushels of wheat
These sample figures will give some
idea of the yield from the over ten
thousand acres of irrigated wheat, and
when it is taken into consideration that
the dry land wheat acreage Of the
county is even larger than the irrigat-
ed area for the first time. and the
dry land crop is running about fifteen
bushels or more To the acre, some idea
can be formed Of the increase in the
size of the total production Of wheat
this season.
Prowers county produced over 400,
900 bushels of wheat in 1920 and the
prospects at this time is that The crop
will be more then million bushels
this season.

REAL ECONOMY
Administration at Washington First
on Record To Make Real Effort
in This Line.

Pledges of economy have been 50
often made before elections and so lit
tie attention paid to them after get
ting in power by all parties that the
people of the country are even yet
hardly prepared to believe that real
period of government economy is GO
ing to be tried out. However the vii
con cabinet left the usual estimates
behind of the needs for the fiscal year
ending June go. 1922. to the amount
of s5,325 10000 They thought this
was less than the Harding administra-
tion could get along on and they would
be able to point next June to the usual
deficit and say that it was just like
they had always done themselves. The
republican congress promptly cut ST.
425, 900 900 off of these estimates, leav-
ing SO 900, 900. 900 appropriated. Com
missioner of Budget Dawes then call
ed a meeting of the department heads
and started the ball TO rolling by
pledging his own department to cut
at least 25 per cent from its appro-
priation. He got pledges from the
others to lop off $ll2,oOo,Oo0 dollars
from their appropriations for expenses
and salaries, and is now busy hunting
ways and means to cut additional mil
lions through improved methods of

Elks Grand Lodge.

Lamar had two official delegates at
the Elks Grand Lodge at Los Angeles,
Chas. Wooden, District Deputy Grand
Exalted Ruler, and Past Master John
Rourke, delegate from the lodge: They
report the biggest meeting ever held
and all enthusiastic over the growth
and prosperity of the organization.
Warren Daley and T. ]. Sayler also
attended the lodge and Mrs. Sayler
who had spent the winter in Los An
geles returned with Mr. Sayler.
Charley Wooden accompanied by his
wife and her cister, Mrs. Johnson,
spent several weeks taking in the
sights of the coast as far north as
Washington. Charley says it took all
the boosting wind out of his sails to
listen to those southern Californians
talk. He says if our would-be boost
ers could talk like those fellows with
the wonderful advantages we really
have to draw on, that Prowers county
would soon be SO jammed with home
seekers that there would be standing
room only. He declares you could
not hire him to move out there as he
would only be a fourth-rater.

COOPERATIVE MANUFACTURING
Doesn't Prove a Successful Undertak-
ing for Farmers in PrOwers
County.

1t is common idea of certain classes
of people these days TO claim that the
way for the farmers TO retrieve the
Undoubtedly bad situation which has
temporarily overtaken farming as well
rs most other industries, is to organ
ize their own companies End manu-
facture their own products. That
farmers. in other words. should re-
trieve their own loss by assuming the
greater losses of another industry, for
manufacturers have been hit harder
than the farmers, -.
The farmers of Prowers county have
come excellent experiences right at
hand to warn them of this fact A
large number of our farmers were in
duced to take stock N sugar COM
pany to get a factory at Wiley, but
were later informed that the next fac
tory would have to be built in the
northern part of the state and Wiley
could get hers in 1922. Later they
were told that owing to the state of
the money market building of new
factories as well as dividends would
be indefinitely postponed.
A few years ago the farmers of the
Big Bend valley were induced to build
an alfalfa mill to grind their own hay
with the assurance that it would pay
hot tkatt hats hactlag
paying big dividends to the farmer
stockholders. The result has been n
complete demonstration of the fact
that farming and manufacturing are
two district industries, and the men
who make u constant study of the best
methods of developing and maintain
i-g one of them have a man-sized job
on their hands and no time to devote
to the other The Big Bend mill has
in no sea1on been able to lay its pa
t-ons an average price equal to what
tie companies running the other mills
pay, and has never paid a cash divi-
dend, it is said. Once or twice divi-
dends have been declared, but have
been paid in stock which returns no
profit to the receivers.
Last season the regular companies
: aid $1s per ton for choice alfalfa for
the first five months of tie campaign
ard then the price dropped until so
for choice and "a for ordinary pre-
vailed. The audit of the Big Bend
books to show what they could pay
their pati pns for that season has just
heen completed and the result shows
less than a dollar ton.
The farmers claim to have lost mon
ey on the hay crop of last season and
we don't doubt that they did, but think
'yl.ere the companies that paid an av-
erage above $40 for hay came out un-
de- the circumstances. The same thing
happened in the flour mills, the can
ming facto ries, condenseries. cream
cries, and all other manufacturers of
frrm products. They had to take their
losses rig,t along with the farmers
and all other business men. It was
necessary where possible to keep the
wheels moving brt It required great
c7crifices on all parties concerned.

There are SO cows which produced.

fat or 100 pounds of milk.
There are AZ lry cows and it is es-
tirlated that over $50 of the remainder
are in the latter part of their lacta-
tion period. This accounts forthe low
production throughout the association
this month.
Present indications point to an in
creased demand for dairy stock dur
ing the coming fall. Tight money and
tire scarcity Of good dairy stock for
sale has made the sales few and small.
There is some inquiry from outside
dairymen for locations.
The Helvetia Co. reports to the test
or an increase of 36 patrons since Feb.
list. This speaks well for itself and
shows that the dairy cow is again
coming into her own. Members Of the
association report numbers of good
producers coming fresh in a few
months. The increase in the price of
milk accompanied by the drop in feed
prices has lent new activity TO dairy
circles. Many of the association mem
bc,s are planning for more and bet
ter cows this fall.

FORBES PONTS
out. PLANS FOR
COOPERATION
Local Men At Conference Of
Bankers Agricultural
Committee

AS. G.. Rubinow, local agricultural
expert returned last night from Far
go, where with other local represen-
tatives he attended sessions of the ag-
r%icultural committee of the North Da-
kota Bankers association. Among
the other Grand Forks county men in
attendance were Walter l. Forbes OF
Gilby, chairman of the committee, r.
J.. Eander, and A.. I. Hunter.
With enthusiasm over the prospects
for relieving the financial strain I'M
der which farmers, bankers and bust
ness men have been working for the
past few months, Mr.. Forbes, accord
ing to Mr.. .Ruhinow, told of the plao
Of cooperation being WORKED out by
his committee.
Mr.. Rubinow said. in part, as fol-
lows:
Bring Wealth In.
THE big thing We are trying to &C
compliSh is to bring as much wealth
into the state of North Dakota as pos
sible," said Mr.. Forbes. This can be
accomplished in only one way and
that is for the bankers and farmers
and business men to work together on
a constructive program with intell-
gent thought and planning behind it.
Every intelligent man in North
Dakota knows that we must get away
from straight grain raising, knows
hat we must have more mich cows,
more sweet clover, alfalfa, hogs, corn,
sheep, poultry and the other things
that go to MAKE up a rational system
Of diversified farming which will
build up our land and our farming
communities, and through the build
ing up of the farming communities
bring increased wealth to the whole
state.
Farmer Demands Change.
Every farmer I have talked to in
recent years recognizes the truth of
this. The farmers of North Dakota,
almost without exception are demand
ing that we give them the financial
assistance necessary for them to
change from the one crop system, to
diversified farming.
THE big demand today from the
farmer is for money with which to
purchase COWS or hogs or seed clover
or seed potatoes. The aim of the ag-
r%icultural committee Of the state
bankers association is to foster that
desire on the part of the farmers, for
we know that this is the one solution
of our difficulties, and to get the
money to put back of the farmers

The quarters of the Soviet legation

budding young Soviet diplomatists
from their non-recognizing colleagues

Privately, nan of these young
Russians will admit that they are

but only Russians, and glad to have
job outside of the starvation Belt.
They do not starve in Riga. Far from
It.
Some OF the better educated MEM
bers of the legation feel keenly their
ostracism from the other diplomatic
circles of Riga. Unless 1t is an off,
cial affair, to which every diplomatist
must be invited, ever the representa-
lives of the states which have official
relations with Russia shy at having
Bolsheviks at their table.
The Russian government, however,
is buying it's way into diplomatic
neighborhoods. The purchase OF the
italian minister's house in Riga was
followed BY the purchase at Reval OF
the building occupied by the Ameri-
can consulate and the American Red
Cross.
