Washington, Nov. II. -- Reports

War Program Justified
Neither the Democratic nor the
Republican administrations have
ever regarded the 1900 steel ships
of the Emergency Fleet program
otherwise than as examples OF this
country's ability to organize and
execute a big job quickly. Those
ships, every successive Chairman
of the Shipping Board has declared
purely as a war measure were
worth their cost. The problem
now. the Boards experts say, is tc
make them useful to whatever ex-

WILTON CORN
SHOW GOOD
Preliminary to State Show
Produces Fine Exhibits

Wilton, N. D., Nov. 11.-Oscar An

kjcrstcn End on Dent Corn. Oscar
Anstrom won 1st prize on Semi dent
Corn and Mike Gregoryk got second,
and Walter Kirke wins LIST prize on
Flint Corn and Il. J. Dennis End, in
the Wilton Corn show.
The First National Bank of Will
ton planned a corn show about a
month ago offering to give 1st
and End cash prize on Dent Corn.
Semi dent Corn and Flint Corn. AS
result 90 ten ear exhibits were
brought in and 1S other exhibits
consisting of cabbage, buckwheat,
kota Wheat, potatoes, mangels, ru-
tabagas, cucumbers, pumpkins, sum-
mer squash, sweet clover, hulless
oats, Ruby wheat, Black Macaroni
wheat and Marquis wheat. One
mangel weighed 10 pounds, one
pumpkin 18 pounds, one rutabaga
1872 pounds and one potato 3
pounds.
The corn exhibits were judged
Saturday evening by ]: NJ. Thomp-
son and Harry Taplin of Wilton and
County Agent A. L. Norling of
Washburn. Many Of the samples
were so excellent and SO close that
the judges found it hard to finally
decide on the prize winners. A few
real excellent samples would have
been awarded prizes but for the
fact that they contained too much
moisture and were too soft. Had
they been selected week Or two
earlier they would, have been placed
at the top. The judges placed ma
turity and dryness as one OF tn
main requirements especially in til
Dent, Corn. As the Semi-dents ant
F'lints are more sure to ripen every
year, less stress was laid on ma
turity and dryness of sample.

Millions Can Live on Deserts, He Says

San Francisco. Nov. 11.-Land now
