It is early to predict what the av-
erage yield per acre will be but it
seems to be the general concensus of
opinion that the hot winds Of two
weeks ago which lasted for about
three days, did not do nearly as much
damage as first expected. There is
no denying the fact that this years
crop will be lighter than that Of last
year but on the other hand it will not
be cut down to the figures given out
about the time the mercury was jump
ing the hurdles at 100, 1O3 and 104.

binders are busy cutting down the

North of Poplar there has been lit

or two farmers who were in town

several instances it would be at least
two weeks from that time before any
of the spring wheat would be cut.

TWO POPULAR KINGS
columbia MisSOurianD

There are two popular monarchs
these days. One OF them is holding
sway in the wheat belt and the
other is getting ready to ascend
the throne in the land Of cotton.
Missouri comes under the rule of
both and will enjoy the yield Of
wheat and cotton to the extent Of
many thousands OF dollars.
While the threshng machines
grind out gold for the farmers of
Missouri and the rest of the wheat
belt. the announcement comes
from Washington that the crop of
cotton this year will APPROACH 3D.
100000 bales, figure which ha 5
been equaled but twice in history
The wheat farmer seems assured
of a season that will go a consid-
cradle distance toward making IN
the lean seasons. The abundant
cotton crop on the other hand
means increased wealth for the
planters of the South. providing,
OF course, that nothing happens to
cause q price reaction.
The prices of both wheat and
cotton are controlled to large
extent by world factors. With tho
Dawes agreement working with at
least degree of success, and
Italy getting ready to fund her
debt, and with Europe in need Of
everything the United States can
send her, it seems that these two
popular American kings - wheat
and cottOn--should help to create
a wave of prosperity. This will
give the farmers, employers and
workers a generous taste of good
times.

UNITED OPPOSITION NEEDED

Statements have been the to the
that the carriers have modified their demand for increased

instead of II cent This may be true with respect to
certain rates, but carriers application for grain
from North Dakota has not been modified changed
in way. The tariffs already printed and dis
trbuted and will become effective August TO- 1926 unless
suspended by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
These tariffs propose increases high II per

western carriers application for 20 per cent increase
the rates livestock has not been changed has their
application for increased rates Ignite of about 40 per cent
been changed modified in any These matters Of
tremendous Importance to the carriers and they have
tanned the most skilled experts they find to prosecute
their case before the interstate commission.
The people of North Dakota should not be ulled into
feeling that only nominal rate increase possible but must
freight bill twelve fifteen million dollars yeara million
dollars month - and this very thing is likely to happen
unless the people present united opposition to the carriers
demands.
