MUST FIGURE
IF THRESHING
YIELDS PROFIT

Fargo, N. D., July 2s.-Due to low
market prices, farmers who have
short crops should figure out before
hand whether the yield will pay the
cost of harvesting and threshing, is
the opinion of Rex E. Willard, farm.
economist at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, who declares that
under average conditions the North
Dakota farmer cannot afford to har-
vest and thresh an eight-bushel crop
of rye, and that five -bushel' crop Of
wheat will leave very scant margin
above cost of harvest and threshing.
"No specific rules can be laid down
to be generally followed in determin-
ing whether q crop will pay to- har-
vest" Mr.. Willard declares, "due to
varying conditions in different local
tiles and among farms in the same
locality. Each farmer who has a
field that smear the border line
should take a.pencil and paper and
figure out orhimself where he will
come out on the proposition"

night, the decks being full and Dou-
gan scored. Zimmerman, next up,
lined safe one to right and Shan
Icy scored from third but Bcrnier

OUTLINES PURPOsE
 OF TRAINING CAMP
"The Acorn" Gives Interest ing Facts Of Results Be-
 ing Obtained

In the Acorn" the publication from the office of the chief of staff, of the Eighty seventh division, many interesting points regarding the citizens military training camps, held during the past summer by the war department, Why We Are Training Civilian Soldiers" by Maj,.Gen D.
 c. Shanks, and How to Respect the American Flag are being read by members of the officers reserve corps and others attached to this division.
 It was stated in. the story regard ing the training camps 1t was the de- sire of the war department to instill into the men a sense of the obliga- tions of their American citizenship. A feature of the camp life was the nightly entertainments furnished by the students. Some clever boxing, wrestling, musicians and other eTt.. tertainers being put on the program.
 One of the most interesting results of the camp was the company of 127 men, who were found to be iun- derweight or suffering from minor ailments. Under the leadership of Captains Ednie, Bender and Lieuten- ant McQuarrie, and Capt W. A. Cunningham, former coach of the University of Georgia, these men rapidly gained weight and when the training was over the entire com pany had gained 8 total of 1881 pounds. Correction of posture was also given attention. and a gain in height was shown to be as much as one inch. while the average increase for the company was three fourths of an inch. Chest expansion was in creased one inch and the step and carriage was remarkably improved.
 In the story written for the Acorn" by General Shanks. he stated that there is not a single patriot in dividual who does not earnestly hope and pray that we may never be- come involved in another armed Co., flict. Tt needs no argument to prove that it is the unprepared na- tion which is most likely tt have war thrust upon them. Had we been pre- pared for war, as we should have been during the World war. Germany would have hesitated long before provoking our country to declare war. The staggering debt we now carry is but an illustration of the high cost of unpreparedness, he said.
 Today the general pointed out the
