FARM CONDITIONS
Reserves Are About
Average Despite Low
Productions IN 1920.

A. j. Surratt, state statistic!an for
the bureau OF crop estimates, has
made the following report governing
conditions in North Dakota this
spring:
Wheat and barley reserves on
farms in North Dakota are about
average, and oats above average. ac-
cording to the March 1 report Of the
Z. S. bureau of crop estimates. II
The unusual feature of tho situa-
ton is that it follows the moderate
state yields of last year. AS a rule
spring reserves are below average
when production is not up to average.
The present size of the farm reserve
of wheat is largely due to wheat
prices. being extremely unsatisfactory
to farmers which has noticeably
slowed up the movement to market
during winter months. The rather
liberal state reserve of oats and bar
ley is attributed to the unattrActive
market price of those crops, the lib
eral supply of hay and roughage on
farms over most of the state. and the
extremely mild winter causing feed
requirements to he less than usual. 1t
is highly probable hat IL present mar
ket prices continue to prevail the hulk
OF the present supply of oats and bars
ley on farms will be used for feed.
THE farm reserves are rather un-
evenly distributed, varying from well
above the average in eastern counties
TO below average in western counties
tor wheat, n from above average in
the southeastern quarter Of the state
TO about average in central and south
western counties. and below average
In northern counties for cats and bar
lev. The state wheat reserve on
farms remaining from the 1926 crop
Of $4,000, 900 bushels is estimated 10
be 26M or 17.7s4,Ooo bushels eom-
pared to 11,7e5.ooo bushels last year
and the ten year average (191l to
1s2o) of 1%S.030>0oo bushels.
The state oats reserve on farms
remaining from the 1920 crop of &c.
$4,000 bushels is placed at 1870 or
2s,o31.ooo bushels compared to H.
2s8,0o0 bushels last year and the
average OF 2%6,1sa.Ooo bushels.
The North Dakota barley reserve
on farms remaining from the 1890
crop Of 22.6so,oo bushels is estimated
to be $3.50 or 7~.9S8,0oo bushels COM

Ceilings Made Of Newspapers.

The demand in Manchu.ia, China,
for old newspapers is very great.
These are used principally for the first
layer of paper on interior walls and
ceilings of houses. Chinese houses in
in Manchuria invariably include no cell

ing installed by the tenants or own

have completed their part of the con-
tract. The ceilings are made of a
framework of millet stalks, which are,
as a rule, first covered with old news
papers and then with a layer of Chi

the same manner axe also largely
used in both shops and dwelling

BELLS OF BUDDHA
Their Tones Vary With the
Tastes of the People.
Continuous Symphony Of Thinking in
RanQoon and neutrality-suspicious.
csc More Stern in Tone.

The bell is almost as characteristic
a symbol of Buddhism as is the seated
figure of Buddha himself. 1t varies,
with the temperament and tastes of
the people. In Burma, where even
Buddhism turns to sunshine and 10
prettiness and the towers of the tenn
pies evaporate in lace work and jewel
ry the bells, glittering with precious
stones, hang in clusters from the UNI
brellalike top of the pagoda spire and
ring at their own sweet will. In the
temple courts Of Rangoon and Manda
lay there is continuous symphony
of tinkling and Ginning things
dainty, casual, Maynard.
But the bells of China and Korea
and those of Japan are more gran
dose and sober. Like the stained
glass windows of European cathedrals,
japanese bells are stored records of
their temples and their times. They
bear Inscriptions by famous poets and
scholars; they are nodded into
wealth Of symbolism. And around
them cling, like the moss and flow
ers that have overgrown the woodland
Buddhas of Nikko, legends and tales
erations who have dwelt in the
shadow Of some great bell and whose
lives have been unconsciously attuned
to it's grave and sOmber harmony.
Yet, though the imagination of the
people clings around it, the temple
bell seems to speak most eloquently
from lonely places, from the heart of
monastic woods, from heights to which
the contemplative may withdraw for
meditation. 1t has none of the ia
miliar and sociable character of the
occidental church bell. Though Chris
tianty, like Buddhism, has under
stood the value of the bell, the differ
ence between the bells of East and
West is typical Of difference in the
genius of the two faiths. In the cities
of England and northern Europe the
bell is the first to speak out on any
occasion of special significance to the
people. 1t announces funerals, we'd
dingS, fires and wars. 1t is at its best
in the expression Of communal JOY.
The very method of ringing-in CARL
Ions, chimes and joyous changes
makes it seem representation of
many voices raised in chorus OF
gladnesS
The Buddhist bell has none of these
social characteristics. 1t could hard
ly quicken its deep tone to speak OF
Joy. 1t seems voice apart from tenn
poral things, cognizant only of eternity
and Nirvana. Yet on any occasion
of general sorrow its accent-tranquil.
remote, unhurried-may be imme"s-
urably consoling. An American who
lived in Kobe while the epidemic of
Influenza was at its worst often speaks
of the comfort he felt in the sound of
the temple bell from the HILL All day
he saw the procession of the dead
pass his house and smoke of the Gre
matories dimming the sky; but every
night at nine o'clock the great bell
spoke out-serene and gracious on
the evening air-and its grave voice
seemed to be saying: Fret not; for
all this passes. 1t is well.
