ROOT DISEASES.
IN WHEAT SAID
TO BE SEVERE
Seeding or Root Diseases
Particularly Severe on the
Durum Wheat Crop
WHAT EXPERT SAYS

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 14.-Wheat root
diseases have been very severe this
year, according to H. L. Bolley OF
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege, who has issued the following
statement: s-.-,g y s. .'.-, -,----. (
During the last days Of July and
the first few days of August, wheat
rust has developed quite rapidly, sc
that in very late fields there will
probably be considerable shriveline
by rust. Farmers must understand
that not all the shriveling that oc-
ours in this coming crop may be at
tributed to rust.
"The Seeding or root diseases have
this year been very severe, especial
ly in many durum varieties. From
the samples which have been sent in
to my office from various parts of
the state it is apparent that the root
and seed diseases known as scab,
ing to the same order as that which
causes flax wilt, has again brought
about very considerable amount Of
damage in some fields.
"Plants die early as if destroyed
at the root when afflicted with this
disease. When they are pulled up by
the root it will be found that the
roots are dead just as in the case Of
flax when it willis. Some fields of
durum show rather high percentage
of these dead or partially dead stools
and from these there will come a
weight shriveled grain. In some
parts of the state similar root
blighting disease known as Helmin
thosporium has also caused some
rotting or dying of the plants.
"These root and seed diseases form
should conduct a carefully planned
crop rotation so that wheat will not
follow wheat on the same lands for
a number of years. All seed which
is used should be graded to the most
plump, hard, bright colored stuff. and
before it is. sowed on the clean land
it should be treated thoroughly with
the formaldehyde treatment just as
one treats for smut.
"Great care should be exercised
this harvest to select seed from fields
not badly affected by scab. If some
scab is present care should be taken
to have the seed which is to be saw
ed for sowing purposes harvested
dry, threshed and stored dry. so that
the scab fungus may not penetrate
the bran layers of the seed, which
makes treatment Ineffective"

ANTI-SIGN
CAMPAIGN ON:
a,J ~AA~ = AAA
Highway Commission Would
Limit Location Of Bill
boards

"No biliboards along North Dako-
ta's highways excepting those which
are placed on privately owned pro-
perty. and heavy tax on those few"
Such is the attitude Of the State
Highway Commission toward the un-
slightly menaces which now deface the
States roadways.
BY following out such a policy, Sc
curing legislation which will accom-
plish it, the highway department
hopes to, ultimately, do away with an
signboards. "By limiting the possi-
BILE location of sign boards to private
ly owned property large number
will be done away with. A heavy tax
will force the owners to remove the
remaining few" they say.
Large users of signs are even now
feeling the pressure Of public opin-
ion. it is said, and are voluntarily re-
moving their advertisements of this
type. It is to be expected that a few
companies will take advantage Of the
scarcity of billboards thus brought
Nabout to erect many more for them
selves. If is for this reason that leg
islation is expected to be necessary
before the signs are all removed"

GIRLS FOUND
IN BIG PARK
Refugees From Other Cities
Found in Central Park,
New York

New York, Aug. 14.-A sprained
ankle threw Jean Koski of Cleve-
land into the arms of a Central
park patrolman and led to the dis
covery of "port of missing girls. ="
Twenty destitute maidens-run-
aways from homes in other cities
lived, according to Jean, in a Shelf
cred cavern in the heart of the
huge park, keeping house as do
hoboes in typical tanktown
"jungle."
Police prepared to conduct Jean
to the spot she described in a
search for girls who have been re-
ported missing here and in other
cities.
Weeping and stumbling along,
Jean ran into the arms of the pa
trolman after sunrise today. A
man had invaded the rock-strewn
dell which served as dining room.
bath and boudoir for herself and
her wayfaring companions, said the
girl. The man had chased her, and
she had sprained an ankle.
Magistrate Levine heard the rest
of the story. Jean and Francis
Mack, both II years old, and tele-
phone operators at Cleveland, quit
their jobs, pooled their savings and
came to the metropolis. After a
week in Manhattan they were
broke.
Another girl, also broke, told
them of the "jungle" tucked away
in Central park, in the heart of
Manhattan, where thousands of
people recreate every day. The
girls moved in, with their baggage.
The baggage disappeared the first
night, but the girls didn't care.
They laundered the clothes they
wore in drinking fountain near
the "jungle."

IMPROVEMENT
IN NORTHWEST
TOLD COOLIDGE
G.. T. Jaffray, Head of 500
Lines, Reports on Trip
Through North Dakota
- ar- -'f~-
FINANCES ARE BETTER

Washington, Aug 14.-Marked i'm
provement Is noted in agricultural
conditions in the Northwest due to
increased yields and better prices
C. T. Jaffray, of Minneapolis, head
of the Agricultural Credit corpora
ton, told President Coolidge yes.
terday, says special dispatch to
the Minneapolis Tribune. Mr.. Jaf-
fray visited the White House with
Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing direc-
tor of the War Finance corporation
who gave the President some infor-
nation relative to agricultural con-
ditions in the Central West.
Actual changes for the better, Mr..
Jaffray said, had taken place in Min
nesota and the Dakotas witph pros
poets for still better times. Speaking
of the North Dakota depression of
last year Mr.. Jaffray said it was not
exactly a wheat situation as gener-
ally regarded but the lack of a
wheat situation. Not only was the
wheat price low last year but the
yield fell so short of the average
as to increase greatly the cost per
bushel.
North Dakota Crop Good
With less acreage this year, the
President was told, North Dakota
will have much larger production
to sell at the higher price. The
South Dakota situation was describ-
ed as somewhat different, due to the
fact that South Dakota has much
larger production of corn than of
wheat with crop that is fair this
year. The South Dakota wheat crop
was also said to be good average
one.
Mr.. Jaffray was guarded in his
statement as to the South Dakota
corn crop, pointing out that danger
to this crop, such as unduly early
frosts, is not past, but he could see
no reason for anything but optimism
at this time. The credit situation
in the Northwest, he said, had eased
considerably.
President Coolidge was especially
pleased at the message from Mr..
Jaffray that diversification has been
making rapid strides in the North
west. Cattle and sheep of the best
strains are being brought in by
farmers who have seen the mistake
of depending too much upon the
single crop of wheat.
Mr.. Coolidge, it will be recalled,
urged in a special message to Con-
gress that aid be given by the gov
ernment to farmers who stood ready
to diversity. The legislation which
he desired was incorporated in what
was known as the Norbeck- Burtness
bill. The bill was defeated in the
Senate but the Agricultural Credit
corporation of which Mr.. Jaffray is
the head is understood to have un-
dertaken and accomplished. smuch
work along the line proposed by that
measure.
Mr.. Meyer, who has been on the
Pacific coast for a month, was able
to add much of an encouraging ma
ture to the Jaffray report. He spoke
especially of the Central West, how
ever, where he said that the wh""4
crop is probably above the average
and, like in the Northwest, produced
or a reduced acreage. The War
Finance corporation, of which he, is
the head, has $25,O00,000 loaned in
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota and Montana, and he said re-
ports indicated that agriculture out
there had turned the corner.

FARM CHANGE
IS REVEALED
Cream Receipts on Increase
in Sioux County

Ft. Yates, N. D., Aug. 14.-Sta-
tistics of township assessors in
Sioux county show big change in
farming has taken place.
The sale Of cream has nearly
equalled the receipts from the sale
of livestock in this county, long
almost a purely livestock county.
The abstract Of the assessors
shows 249,432 pounds of cream sold,
and 27,743 pounds of butter made in
families. Receipts from the sale Of
livestock totalled $lOs,73l.
The assessors figures also show
the combined flax and corn acre.
age this year is only 5000 acres
short of the total wheat acreage.
Nearly twice as much flax and corn
is grown this year as last. while the
wheat acreage was cut almost one-
third. More oats and barley were
sown, but the rye crop was but about
Is percent Of the previous year.

CABINET HOLDS
MEETING WHEN
PARLEY FAILS
Declared in Berlin That Dele"
gates Stand for Early,
Complete Evacuation
CRISIS is REACHED
Americans Are Called in To
Help Reach Compromise
Between French, Germans

Berlin. Aug. 14.-tBy the A. P.)-
President Ebert presided at an ex-
traordinary session of the cabinet
convoked at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing to discuss the situation which
had arisen in London because of the
failure of the French and German
delegates at the international confer
ence in London to agree on time
limit for the military evaucation of
the Ruhr.
An official bulletin was given out
saying members of the cabinet were
in full accord with the attitude taken
by the German delegates in London.
The latest serious developments at
the London conference are commented
on by all the Berlin newspapers,
which, without exception, agree that
a crisis has been reached on the
question of the military evacuation
of the Ruhr. 1t is generally agreed
also that there seems to be little or
no hope of compromise unless the
French make concessions for, it is
stated, it is utterly impossible for
Germany to make concessions.
There is no doubt whatever, it is
generally conceded, that the govern
ment would have support of all poll
tical parties in refusing to agree to
anything short Of complete evacua-
tion at an early date, and that it is
prepared to face the consequences,
however heavy, of such refusal. p
The Berlin press emphasizes its
contention that the Ruhr occupation
has always been illegal and that if
the French now show an unwilling
ness to evacuate the area, it would
prove clearly to the world that the
French policy still aims not at
achieving an understanding and
friendly relationship with Germar:.'
but as perpetuation of district and
ill-feefing between the two nations.

case.
Los Angeles, Aug. 14.-Kid Mccoy.
veteran of the prize ring, whose
clever fists brought him fat purses
and fighting renown more than
quarter of a century ago, today
stands in a Jail cell facing the most
desperate battle of his career-a
fight to free himself of charge of
numbering a woman.
The woman, Mrs. Theresa Mors,
divorced wife of wealthy antique
dealer, was found dead early yester-
day in the apartment she and Nc
Coy, whose true name is Norman
Selby, has occupied for several
weeks as "Mr. and Mrs. N. Shields"
In her head was .32 calibre bullet;
nearby was an automatic pistol of
the same calibre, and note from
Mccoy bequeathing all his earthly
possessions to his mother.
McCoy's Explanation
When Mccoy was arrested several
hours later after terrorizing patrons
of two fashionable shops and shoot
ing and slightly wounding two per-
sons he was silent for a time but
finally talked freely. Mrs. Mors
killed herself, he said; the shock
and grief put out his lights" and
filled him with an insane rage to
kill her husband "who drove her to
it," to kill all those who stood in
his way and finally to kill himself.
But fate failed from him and his
plan to kill himself was lost in the
swirl of events. So. 3ia-s.',s-.'-~
"I was going to kill myself" he
said, explaining the note found in
the apartment, "but-I forgot
Police believe portions of McCoy's
story but declare that his suicide
version has already received it's
knockout blow from the "Kid's" own
sister, Mrs. Jennie Thomas, who said
"McCoy came to her home soon
after the shooting of Mrs. Mors and
burst out with:
81 just had to kill that woman"
Sought Reconciliation
Late last night detectives called
aat the Thomas home but after con-
4erring with the woman's attorney,
they agreed not to question her fur
ther on the understanding that she
would tell the complete story of
McCoy's visit and confession to Dis
trict Attorney Keys today.
Mccoy admitted that he had call
ed on his sister soon after Mrs.
Mors' death but "couldn't remember
what told her or how long l stay
ed"
He clung to t.his suicide version
of the shooting, telling detectives
that Mrs. Mors was driven to des-
pair by her trouble with her former
husband, that she suddenly cried
out that she couldn't stand it any
longer" and attempted to stab her.
self to death with butcher knife.
When this failed, he said. she took
a pistol from the dresser drawer and
fired a bullet through her head be-
fore he could stop her.
Police declare, however, that what
Mrs. Mors really planned was re-
conciliation with her former hus-
band and that McCoy's jealous rage
over this pending reconciliation led
him to kill her and then 60 out and
kill more.
