WORLD CROP PROSPECTS.

The International Institute of Agriculture, with
headquarters at Rome, has issued its summary Of
prospects for June.
The data as to area under cereals continue to
indicate that there is'no important change in the ag-
gregate as compared with last year.
In Europe and North Africa generally the
weather Of the first half of May was cold and after
wards toosdry, the month thus affecting the crops
s.pf Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland and
fCzechoslovakia unfavorably. Algeria and Tunis
experienced severe drought, but, owing to the ad-
rent of hot weather the crops in Italy, France and
Great Britain are of average promise, while those in
Bulgaria, though reduced in extent, and in Jugo-
SsJavia are good.
In spite of diminished area under wheat, the
forecast for the United States crop exceeds by is

May resulted in a decrease Of 3% in the wheat area,

Though time has stolen them away

And what if every hope of fame At

The laughter Of the children shall be

GOOD WoRK-KEEp 1T UP.

s*nseC Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway commits
sioner Of Minnesota. invites constructive criticism
Of the work of his department. By constructive
criticism he means, OF course, the pointing out of de-
fects in plan or operation, with suggestions, if posi-
BILE, for better1nent. Mr.. Babcock differs from a
whole lot. Of other public officials in being willing
to receive criticism and suggestions. Too often the
official is so certain that his work is perfect that he
rcsents any suggestion that there may be room for
amendment IN any particular.
Undoubtedly there will lie found room for>in1-
,provement in many particulars in the working out of
the Minnesota foaG system which will stand as all
imperishable monument to its capable, public spirit
ed and modest author. Charles M. Babcock.%eTh Fiji
people of his own state, and those from other states
swho have occasion to use the roads whichEhe has
been instrumental in building, will serve the state
Of Minnesota, themselves, and the country at large,
and will also increase the efficiency of a wonderfully
useful man, if they will offer such suggestions as are
invited whenever the occasion arises. - :,
The state of Minnesota is spending a great deal
OF money on its roads. Just how much those roads
are actually costing nobody knows. Ultimately
they will cost nothing, and there can be no doubt
that many of the roads built have more than paid
for themselves in their first year Of operation.
Every car owner knows something of ,.the cost OF
tires for his machine. How many would be able to
estimate at all accurately the difference in the tire
Icost Of a seasons driving as between a level road.
Iway and a siding one, such as those with which
most OF us are too familiar? The car that is driven
along the side OF a steep grade tends constantly to
run toward the ditch. Hour after hour he must pull
up toward the center, and hour after hour additional
wear is'being put on his tires. How much of that
Treatment will it take to wear the price of the auto
mobile tax off a set Of tires?
Tire wear is but one element. The rough
jolty road places a strain on every bolt and brace in
the car, shortening its life and giving discomfort tc
driver and passengers. Instances could be multi,
aplied, but this is not necessaryto indicate the service
that is being given by the Minnesota road depart:

SUPPORTING THE G X

The Fargo Courier News took its stand a little
while ago as a supporter Of regular Republicanism
1t urged on all Republicans the duty of supporting
the Republican ticket nominated at the primary, and

The Courier News is just now engaged in lam

the late primary, by aslarger majority than was Civ
Ell him at the recall election last fall. 1t charges
him with Various and sundry offenses alleged to
have been committed while in office. and before he
took office. as well as with other ofenses which he
is expected to commit later on.
Governor Mestos is one of the candidates on the
ticket for which: the Fargo paper urged united sup

Mr.. Frazier, official Republican nominee for the
United States senate, gave to the Republican ma
tional administration in his speech in Minneapolis
a few days ago.5NE. G&
The "Republicanism' Of the Courier News,
Frazier and Others of that group seems to be con-
fined to enthusiastic support Of Frazier. AS to the
rest Of the ticket it is not clear just what they do
want, but it is quite clear that if the defeat of the
rest Of the ticket would contribute to the success of
Frazier, the knife and the bludgcon would most Joy
fully be used.
That is the way they are supporting the whole
ticket.

INDIA PROVIDES THE EXCESS.

. According to the latest estimates the produc-
tion Of wheat in the countries Of the northern hefni-
sphere whose governments have rcported-about
iSne-half of the whole nunnber-will be 39.5 million
metric tons, as against a yield Of 800 million metric
tons in the same countries in 1921. This is an in
crease of 7 per cent.
1t appears that this increase is practically. all in
bne country, British India, where the increase over
1921 is 3.3 million metric tons. The increased pro-
auction in India ought to be Of material benefit
there, though "a large wheat crop in India does not
necessarily mean that India will have no famine:
india is a large country, and famine districts and
wheat producing districts are often widely separat-
1t looks simple. on paper, to deal with famine
d a country by the e~xpedient of shipping food from
The section which produces a surplus to the district
has no food. But the matter Of payment
comes in, and it is a highly important one. The
Indian peasant who raises wheat needs the money
Tor it, just as the Iowa farmer needs money for his
corn. And the margin which the Indian farmer has
Iabove his own necessities is usually not very wide

section, and with the rapidly with which urgent
needs may and often do develop. understand that
the regular and rapid MOVEMENT Of our harvest work
depends not alone on the preparation Of broad gen
Feral plans. no matter how excellent, but on close and
intensive work in which the entire field is covered
SO thoroughly that quick and certain action can Be
had whenever the need arises.
Governor Nestos and Congressman Burtness are
to be commended on their energy in guarding the
interests Of the state, and in bringing to the atten-
ton OF the federal officials the fact that our state
authorities need, and will continue to need the full
est cooperation on the part of the federal govern
nent in keeping the labor demands Of the state

MUTUALLY ADVANTAGEOUS.

In a statement made 4 few days. ago Governor
Nestos emphasized the importance of treating the
farm laborer fairly andlsquarely 1t needs no argu-
ment to prove that this is advantageous to farmer
and laborer alike, and the governor points out that
as a matter of course, most North Dakota farmers
do accord to their employees fair wages and fair
treatment in every respect.
There are occasional exceptions, and one excep-
ton is often sufficient to keep labor away from a
fairly large district in another season. In such
cases the innocent suffer for the sins of the guilty.
! Would there not be advantage in local organ
izations of farmers for the protection of the rights
of farm. hands? Occasionally a transient laborer
has difficulty in collecting his wages after his work
is, done. Litigation means expense and delay, and
it may be necessary for the man to move on. Sup
pose that the responsible farmers. in a given neigh
borhood were to band together in some simple form
of organization to guarantee to every laborer in the
district prompt payment Of what he had honestly
earned, would not knowledge Of that fact be an in
|ducement to the best kind Of labor to seek employ
ment in that neighborhood?
The existence Of such an organization would
give the real working man 4 feeling Of security, and
it would also tend tocurb sharp practice on the part
of the occasional employer whose habits ihjure the
reputation of the community.
