sEMI-MONTHLY CROP AND LIVE.
STOCK SUMMARY, JULY 1, TO is

General crop and livestock condi-
tions in the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Monana as reported by the Agricul-
tural Statisticians of the Division of
Crop Estimates, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, for the period July to
Is, are as follows:
Comparatively low temperatures
and well distributed rains through
out the region during most of the
period, were quite favorable for plant
growth, especially the small grains
and dry land crops, except that earl
Ter seedlings in north-central Montana
were too far damaged by June drough
for full recovery. Farm work pro-
ceded during the period without SER
ious interruption, except that first
cutting of hay in Montana was much
damaged by rains, and haying was
somewhat delayed in North Dakota.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
CAUSES SEARCH FOR Mel SON
EARS FELT FOR HIS SAFETY AS
HE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN
SINCE FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Con d cradle excitement was
caused in Luverne this week by the
mysterious disappearance of Nels
Nelson, Friday evening, from his
home four miles north of that city.
He is man of about 53 years of
age. unmarried, posses considerable
property, and no reason can be sug-
gested as to why he had disappeared.
There is a possibility that foul play
is the reason or that he had suffered
from a sun stroke and fallen in some
out-of-the-way place.
When last seen Friday afternoon
he was at one of the neighbors. He
returned home in his automobile, put
1t In the garage, took his coat off
and hung it up in the usual place.
From then on, all trace of him ended
He was missed at supper time but
nothing was thought of that as it was
supposed that he had gone to one of
the neighbors. Saturday morning,
his failure to appear caused alarm,
and inquiry was made over the phone
and he could not be located. A gem
eral alarm was then given and soon
large number of men were search
ing all parts of the community for
him. This continued Sunday and Mon
day, all sorts of clues being followed
without result. Tuesday Lieut.. j.
Earl Fladeland was called with his
plane and the surrounding country
thoroughly examined from the air
with powerful field glasses. A search
has also been made in the Sheyenne
river. These have all been without
result.
A description of Mr.. Nelson states
that when last seen he was dressed
in blue shirt, blue overalls and
wore brown hat. He also had a
sandy moustache. Weight about ITO
pounds. .......

records of fires or injuries from aerials
during thunder storms are extremely
rare During an electrical storm the
instruments cannot be used owing to
the "static" or electricity in the air
and the confusion Of currents waves
and inductance, and by installing
ightning-switch or an air-gap there
will be no danger to the premises.
In fact, properly installed aerial
and If installed in accordance with
the regulations of the local fire de-
partment you may be sure there is'
not the least danger. The fire de-
partment records of New York City
do not show single instance Of con-
fiagrations started by aerials and
lightning.
The simplest and best safeguard for
receiving aerials is the air-gap shown
in Fig. 16. This consists of two
metal attachments separated by about
one.eighth of an inch ABB, one Of
which CAY is attached to the lead-in
wire (the wire to set being fastened to
it also) while the other. (B) Is con-
nected by wire to the ground d.
rect. This gap is mounted In much
the same manner as lightning
switch, Fig. II Con window sill or
other convenient spot), in which A
shows connections to aerial, B to re-
ceiver and G to ground connection.
When the station Is not in use, or
during thunder storms, the handle D
is thrown from A to G, this cutting off
all connection between the lead-in
wire and the Instruments and connect
ing the aerial directly with the ground.
Aerials for sending or transmission
stations are very different from those
used for receiving only and should
be Of several wires The most efficient
is probably the "cage" type shown In
Fig. 18, but any Of the others illustra-
ted in Figs. 10, 20 and 21 will answer.
These should, of course, be fully In
sulated and the various methods of
doing this are well shown in the
figures and require no explanation. To
install sending stations a license Is
required, whereas to receive, no
license is needed.

some very satisfactory yields. Oats
and barley are maturing favorably
although many weedy oats fields
aave had to be cut for hay. Flax
was favorably affected by the wealth
er OF the first half of the month.
The crop is now mostly IN the bloom
stage. Potatoes ON the whole show
further improvement, although scar
tered reports have been received of
poor fields and some instances Of
wilt" reported. Early seeded po-
tatoes in the southern valley count
les are now being marketed locally.
Farm work with the approach of
The Hope pioneer., 1922-07-20

A great many people are very much
afraid Of lightning following an aerial
and injuring the premises, for they
seem to think that the wires "atract"
lightning, just as many people with
intelligence and education still believe
that steel knives or hardware or wire
netting window screens "attract" the
lightning. AS matter of fact, none
Of these things "attract" the lightning,
but merely form convenient conduc-
tor to enable the lightning to ground
itself. Lightning-rods are designed for
the same purpose and properly in
stalled aerial, instead Of jeopardizing
building, is really an excellent safe
guard and makes splendid lightning
rod. Lightning strikes building or
object when it is trying to find way
to the earth and If the object struck
is good conductor Of sufficient ca
pacity 1t does no damage. For this
reason, houses covered with wire net
ting and climbing vines are far safer
than those which are bare, and steel
buildings, such as the New York sky
scrapers, steel bridges, elevated struc-
lures, iron smokestacks and chimneys,
iron steamships and railway tracks
are seldom injured by lightning al
though frequently struck; the reason
being that the electricity passes
through them freely without encoun-
tering resistance. On the other hand.
wooden buildings. trees and human
beings are poor conductors and when
dry are almost non-conductOrs Of
electricity, and when the lightning
tries to follow such objects to ground,
the resistance is so great that serious
damage is done. 1t Is exactly like fore
Ing water through pipe. If you have
a powerful stream of water or great
volume Of water and provide pipe
large enough for it to flow freely,
the pipe will not be injured, even If It
is very light and frail; whereas, If
you attempted to force the same
stream or same volume through a
much smaller or clogged pipe, the pipe
would be burst or the water would
overflow and flood the surroundings.
Statistics prove that as far as aerials
are concerned there 10 no danger and
