While no definite plans had been

Telephone and telegraph companies
reported scores of polls down and

URGES FOREST
RESERVE MADE
IN NO. DAKOTA
Senator. Ladd, Here on Trip,
Tells of Projected Plan
in Badlands
TO CONTROL FLOODS
Also Necessary For State To
Provide Timber Supply,
He Says
TO CONTROL FLOODS

Creation of a,gOvernment q, forest re-
serve in the Badlands Of North Da-
kota west Of the Killdeer mountains
is advocated by United States Senator
f. F. Ladd. he said today, while ir
Bismarck to meet constituents today
and tomorrow. Senator Ladd who
stopped at Fargo yesterday and came
on to Bismarck last night with Mrs
Ladd, plans to 60 to Minot and then
Grand Forks, and perhaps elsewhere
in the state, before returning to
Washington August 21.
Senator Ladd said he was endea-
voring to get the forest reserve es.
tablished, feeling that the time has
come when North Dakota should ben.
eft under this government act. For
est reserves have been created in
New York, New England and the
southern states. he said.
"A forest reserve would c0ntrO
the headwaters of rivers running
through the Missouri valley, helE
prevent floods here and in the Mis-
sissippi," he said. ut would be the
beginning of demonstration of this
state, and the time is coming wher
the state must have forests. Tht
country will in the future have tt
depend on reforesting for its timber
supply. Forests, of course, help tt
preserve moisture and are benefi
to state in that manner"
Region In Mind
The region Senator Ladd has par
ticularly in mind, he said. is beyont
the Killdeer mountains, where th'
government owns much land. Th'
Great Plains Experimental Station a
Mandan, which has done much in tre'
culture, could be used in reforestini
the area, he said, and the lands als'
could be used for grazing.
Senator Ladd said that on his Eur
opean trip last year he found that il
Russia, Czecho-Slovakia and Ger
many great areas have been reforest
ed to provide timber for those coun
|'tries.
The proposed forest reserve woul'
be entirely separate from nationa
park, if one we're created in the Bad
lands, but the two projects could b.
carried on in coordinate manner, h

BY SITUATION
United States Department of
Agriculture Production
Report Is Given
EXPORT SURPLUS LESS
North Africa Has no Surplus
European Countries
Are Producing Less
EXPORT SURPLUS LESS

Washington, Aug. 8.-From 10 to
l3 percent less wheat than last year
will be produced ;ais year ir conn-
tries Of ;re northern hemisrher.
the De; ;a',,nt int of Agriculture an
nounced today on The basis OF tele-
graphic reports and other informa-
tion confirming early estimates to
that effect. ....-. ...,
The production this gear in Ii
important producing countries, in
cluding the United States and Ca
NADIA and exclusive of Russia and
China, is estimated at 2,092 976. .000
bushels compared with 2,272.901 ,O0C
bushels last year.
"The cereal crop in Europe is less
than last year, with important re-
ductions in countries consuming
large quantities of wheat similar
to our durum varieties" the Depart
ment of Agriculture stated. "The
: absence of an exportable surplus in
north Africa further strengthens the
market position of the wheat, and
the outlook from the point Of view
Of American producers is more fav.
Orable than last year.
Situation In Orient
The EurJoean demand for wheat
at prices prevailing last season re.
suited in imports considerably larg.
er than expectations at the beginning
of the season.
"In the Orient, which has taken
considerable quantities of United
States and Canadian wheat and flou,
during the past season, the prospects
=, are for a .considerahlysdee eereas sei pro.
duction of wheat. Japan forecasts 6
wheat crop IL percent below last
year and in Manchuria conditions
have been very unfavorable, although
acreage and production estimates
are not available for this region
the dep>tment says. "With the in.
crease in prices and the majority OF
the reduction in United States .cror
occurring in the Pacific Northwes,
it is difficult to foresee what effect
that reduction in the Oriental cror
will have on purchases from Amer
lea.
NuSSAan ICPOIIS are as COuIIdulC-
tory as ever, ranging from crops larg.
tr than last year to danger Of severe
famine, affecting as many as 5000.
600 people. Reports of crop short.
ages in important regions appear to
be we'll founded. Notwithstanding
famine reports from drought-stricken
areas, press reports are to the effect
that the Soviet government will con-
tinue its export policy and the claim
is made that possible famine will be
relieved without the aid of foreign
food.
Reports of a considerable increase
in the wheat acreage in Argentina are
current but no official estimate is
available yet. Surely the weather
was favorable during the planting
season though dry weather is being
reported at present. Some increase
also is expected in Australia"

EXCHANGE OF
LABOR URGED
Governor Would Keep Down
Expense of Harvest

Governor Nestos today issued the
following statement:
"Now that our crops are nearly
matured, the problem of harvesting
and threshing at the least possible
expense, must be solved by each
farmer so as to leave, if possible, a
measure of profit to pay family ex-
penses and to reduce existing in
debtedness.
81 have already secured from the
railroad a very low harvest labor
rate which ought to bring US, if
properly advertised, some first class
farm help, but we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that the supply of
good and dependable labor is going
to be inadequate and that each farm
er, to avoid financial loss, must
plan his work for the next two
months with the Thought that labor
cost is going to be high and that to
save his crops at reasonable ex-
pense he must plan with care and
operate economically.
81 believe that every farmer
should plan, this year, to do as much
as possible of his work with the
members Of his own family, or by
exchange work with his neighbors.
OF course; every farmer cannot d"
this, but the experience of the past
two seasons proves conclusively. that
the farmers who did, profited great
ly thereby and, as result, have
been in a better position to continue
operations and to save their proper
ty, while the, unfortunate farmers
who have relied on the l. w. WIS
have had much grief during August
and September and scarcely any
profit left.
1.-THE large amount of straw this
year will make the problem still diff
ficult, and / sincerely hope that an
increasing number Of our farmefs
will find their way clear to solve
the problem in, the way here sug-
gested."
