SEES PROFIT
THIS YEAR IN
AGRICULTURE
First Year Receipts Will Ex-
coed Cost of Production,
Says Willard

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 16.-North Da-
kota's 1924 wheat crop will be- pro-
duced at an average cost of 81 cents
per bushel, rye So cents and flax
$1.49, according to preliminary esti-
mates made by Rex E. Willard, farm
economist, and T. S. Thorfinnson,
assistant, of the North Dakota Exper-
iment station.
These figures show the lowest bus
hel costs Of production for North Da-
kota since the war, and this is the
first year during that period that
the market price Of wheat has ex-
ceeded the average cost of produc-
tion, according to Mr.. Willard. These
costs are based on records and esti-
mates collected during the past week
from 100 farms in 10 counties of the
state, Cass, Grand Forks, Ramsey,
Pierce, Wells, Stutsman, Kidder, Nc
Lean, Morton and Grant.
High yields are the principal fac
tor causing the comparatively low
bushel costs, the records show. Es-
Inmates of the wheat yield from the
100 farms averaged 1853 bushels per
acre, rye 1872 bushels and flax 9.8
bushels. Acre costs of production for
wheat averaged $l2.34, rye $3.50 and
flax SASS.

French, However, Agree to
Make a Partial Evacua-

ence, Put the Dawes Plan
in Effect in Germany
BELGIANS JOIN FRENCH
Move Made to End Confer

London, Aug. l6, (By the A. P.)
The French and Germans finally
have settled their long controversy
ever the military evacuation of the
Ruhr by an exchange of letters to-
day in which they agreed to the
principle that August Is of next
year be fixed as the final date
when the French and Belgian
troops must completely evacuate
the Ruhr territory.
They have also agreed that a
partial evacuation will begin on
August 80 Of this year, when the
foreign soldiers will leave Dort-
mund, and the cities and places
outside the Ruhr which were not
occupied in accordance with the
terms of the treaty of Versailles.
The Belgians joined with the
French in the letter covering the
point. Both the French and the
Germans in their letter insist that
they have not altered their opinion
about the legal questions involved
in the occupation of the Ruhr.
The French insist that the oc-
cupations were justified by the
Treaty of Versailles while the Ger
mans declare that the sanctions
were illegal and voiced the expec-
tation that the evacuation will be
finished earlier than next August.
To Deny Coercion
Prime Minister Macdonald of
Great Britain also is preparing a
letter in which he will deny charg-
es that he coerced the Germans
into acceptance of the French de-
mands that the Ruhr occupation
continue for one year longer.
1t also is expected that he will
issue a statement expressing the
hope that the evacuation NAV be
speedIef than the agreement pro-
vides.
The French and Belgian prime
minister made joint statement
declaring it was obvious that the
entire sanctioned territory would
be evacuated as soon as the French
troops left the Ruhr, in other words
that the military evacuation would
be absolutely complete next August
Is.
Speedy Preparations
Speedy preparations are being
made for the plenary sessions of
the international conference to-
night when the complete member
ship will assemble and the dele
gates will initiate the agreement
as to how the Dawes plan is to be
executed. Many delegates are
planning to leave London tonight.
Until the German Reichstae and
the French Chamber Of Deputies
lndorse the action of the London
conference it will not be possible
to have final signatures to the
agreement.

SAYS DEFENSE

ARE POLITICAL
Governor, in Statement, De.
clares His Willingness
To Cooperate
NOT WAR MANEUVERS
Declares Reasonable Pre-
paredness Does Not Make
Militaristic Nation

Opposition to Defense Day,
September II, is largely political in
origin, Governor r. A. Nestos de-
clared today in statement declar-
ing his willingness to cooperate with
the national administration in OBJ
servance Of the day.
The Governor, in his statement
also declared that creating a rea.
sonable degree Of preparedness will
not make militaristic nation out
Of the United States.
sour people do not want war. We
abhor it," said the Governor. There
is only one thing we dislike more
and that is national dishonor and
continued injustice between ma
tions."
Governors Statement
The Governors statement follows I:
81 do not believe there is suffi-
cient reason for the present opposi-
tion to National Defense. 1t seems
to me a political move to distract the
voters attention from the real is
sues of the campaign, making "much
ado about nothing" and raising a
veritable tempest in a teapot with
the evident expectation that the
stray breezes from the tempest may
watt them into the haven Of public
office otherwise unattainable.
"Some honest but misguided peo-
pie have been misled by the state
ments of these self-seeking politi-
clans, and reporters who have per-
mitted their imaginations to run
riot, and apparently believe that
there is danger to America and
American ideals in this Defense Day
program.
"Our people do not war. We alb
hor it. There is only one thing we
dislike more and that is national
dishonor and continued injustice be-
tween nations. We wish our influ-
ence ever to be on the side of JUS
tice, good will, and peace among
the nations, but We know that we
cannot attain this ideal by permit
ting such an extreme state Of un-
Preparedness as that which existed
in the spring of 1917. 1t costs too
much in life, health, and money.
But, we do not want a large stand
ing army. There is no need of it
and no desire for it. We have now
the smallest, in proportion to pop
ulation among the civilized nations,
and we wish to continue to lead the
world in this respect.
"With these national ideals, the
question sthen arises how we might
best attain a reasonable degree Of
preparedness without maintaining a
large standing army, or without
spending too much money. It has
been decided that one of the most
effectivei ways is to maintain a vol
untary Organization and continued
interest among those who were Of
ficers and soldiers in the recen1
war, and each summer to give a
large number Of young men "a brief
period of military training for the
improvement of their physical health
and to teach them obedience and
discipline which are so essential to
the best civic life. This seems to
me an excellent plan and will be
of value to our people and country,

Chicago. Aug. 16.-Wild fluctua-

NEW STORY IN
MCCOY MURDER B I /.
CASE IS TOLD
Woman Informs Police She
Saw Two Leaving Apart
ment
DISPELS ONE THEORY

Los Angeles, Aug. l6.-An entire,
ly >new aspect has been. given to the
Theresa Mors shooting Investigation
police announced today, by the tes.
T, timony OF a woman who said she
heard and saw two men fleeing
from the apartment occupied by
Mrs. Mors and Kid Mccoy, ex-pugi-
list, few minutes after the shot
was fired that ended the wealthy
diSorcee's life early "Wednesday
morning.
The new witness, police say, lives
in the apartment directly under
that in which the shooting took
place and saw one of the fleeing
men clearly and SO close range that
she was able to give detectives a
complete description of him. This
man, she said positively and repeat
edly, was not Kid Mccoy. She was
able to furnish no description of
the other man whom she knew only
as the dark shape of man run
ming swiftly from the building.
Dispels Suicide Theory
The testimony of the new witness,
Mrs. Iva Martin, is of supreme i'm
portance for two reasons. police
point out.
First, it fixes the time Of the slay-
ing definitely at 1906 a. m. We'd
nesday.
Second, it completely disproves
the suicide theory of Mrs. Mors'
death.
Mrs. Martin was in bed. she said.
when she was awakened suddenly
by voices in the apartment above.
ooh, my God, don't do that" were
the first words she heard. she told
investigators.
Twice more, in anguished tones,
these words were repeated. No re-
ply was heard; only the sound Of
a scuffle, and then again woman's
voice pleading.
Finally, said Mrs. Martin, came
the last words she heard from the
apartment. that night:
"Oh, my God, don't do. that! Oh,
this will be terrible"
Then the. sharp sound Of q shot.
A brief silence; the thump, OF some
object falling to the floor; again
silence.
Describes Pair
Mrs. Martin then described how
she heard footsteps leaving the
apartment above her rome and saw
one man whom she described as q
"thickish man, about five feet, nine
inches in height, heavy chested
with q waist. mark bulging above
his belt, leave the building. Mrs.
Martin said the man looked as
though he were drunk or entirely
unnerved, and staggered as he walk
ed Mrs. Martin was taken before
Mccoy today but declared, she was
positive he was not the man she had
seen leaving the building.
Mccoy is tall and stately" she
said, "aad the man ! saw was thick
and pouchy." IN,

The chief gains for the defense

they were sane was based upon
observation only that the youths are

Warden Lee, in his paper, said in
part:
"Crime springs from so many diff
ferent causes and conditions. Want,
intemperance, incomplete or abnormal
development. improper home condi-
tions, child labor, and many other
elements, help to produce criminals.
"Where crime is found to spring
from want, it is the duty of every
good citizen to see that such want
is relieved and conditions established
that will make future cases of want
fewer and less disastrous. If it is
caused by intemperance, incomplete
or abnormal deyelppment, or impro-
per home conditions, ,,sthtn 1t seems
reasonable that the way to reduce
crime is to make consistent efforts to
change these Conditions; strengthen
ing character, improving the educa-
tional system, and changing social
conditions.
"The influence of heredity and en-
vironment in shaping character and
destiny is an ever present problem.
Hereditary influences are undoubted-
ly strong. The crimes of impulse or
Of jealously can usually be traced to
hereditary influences. So, frequent
ly, criminals are found to have in
herited physical and mental weaken
nesses and defects and the commits
sion of crime may be ascribed to
these.
Education and environment also
powerfully influence and help to
mold the character. If education is
neglected or lacks the elements that
mold character, and if the environ
ment is bad, these are influences that
produce criminality. Frequently, the
influences Of heredity and environ I
ment are SO mixed that it is difficult
to ascertain to which tht criminal
bent may be ascribed. This is pro-
badly best illustrated by the history
of families like the famous Juke fam
lily of New York where a large per-
centage Of the members of the fam
lily in the past hundred years were
inmates of reform schools, peniten-
tiaries, insane asylums, ,or institutions
for the feeble minded. In these cases
the hereditary influences are supple
mented by lack Of education and by
an unfortunate environment. Ere
quently men and women reared in
such an environment and lacking the
proper guidance and education be-
come confirmed criminals and vir-
tual degenerates early in life. without
will power and self-restraint and
ready to follow whatever suggestion
is made to them. Such one was
working last fall on threshing rig
in the central part Of North Dakota
and because, Of the fact that, when he
got UP one night when everybody was
asleep, it flashed through his mind
that someone had suggested killing a
couple Of the men who were with him,
he killed two of the sleeping men.
This man admitted to me that since
coming into the penitentiary he/had
