STATEMENT GIVES CONDITION AND
YIELD OF 1925 CROPS IN STATE

H. O. Hebrandson of Grand Forks
statistician for the United States de-
pa rtment Of agriculture, has prepared
statement giving the approximate
yield and condition Of the various
crops grown in North Dakota last
year. His statement follows:
Wheat
The North Dakota Spring Wheat
crop was estimated at l12,370.O0O
bushels. A condition figure justi-
fled a yield Of l1.75 bushels per acre.
The condition of the Wheat crop
in North Dakota as being revealed by
the thresher indicated that many
counties escaped the ravagc Of trust"
to a much larger extent than was
earlier anticipated. 1t is true that
the crust" epidemic together with
the heat damaged much of the Valley
territory especially reduced the quail
ity of the grain. The northern Vai-
ley. however, finally came through
much better than the territory lying
from Grand Forks south to Richland
county. likewise the territory west
from the Valley and especially west
central and north had very fine
crop. In this last mentioned area.
there was considerable wheat of the
Durum variety and this crop yield
ed very we'll indeed and the grain is
Of high quality. Yields as high as
30 bushels per acre were not uncom-
mon and many reports of wheat
weighing 63 pounds were heard in
the above territory. The western
onc-third of the state was not quite
so highly favored and there were
areas in western Divide and Williams
counties; some spots in Mckenzie
ands Mclean and numerous areas in
western Slope region which suffer
ed seriously and never recovered af-
ter the damage of the first two weeks
in July. In these counties it was
not uncommon to find yields Of
wheat running from to bushels
per acre of very poor quality.
though many fields were better than
that.
Oats
Oats were found to be in a condi-
ton justifying an estimate of 27.O
bushels per acre or G5,2O5,0OO bush

Most of the oats are found in the
eastern one-third of the state. BY

Editorial Comment.
The New Amendment
Chicago Journal Of COmnierce)

The short session of congress seems doomed
institution 1t is almost certain that before the
present session Of congress ends proposed con-
stitutonal amendment will have been submitted
to the states to inaugurate the president and the
|vice-presdent in January instead of the following
March, and to convene congress in January instead
of the following December. If such an amendment
is submitted, it will be overwhelmingly approved
by the states
The senate, by vote Of Is to 2 has approved a
resolution for amendment that would have con-
gress meet the first Monday in January and have
the Inauguration of the president and the vice.
president take place fourteen days later. The
house committee on election of president and con.
gress reported favorably resolution for an
amendment that would have congress meet on Janu-
airy and have the Inauguration take place Janu-
airy "a. These resolutions are not far apart. 1t
may confidently be expected that one Of these,
another very similar will have received the approva.
of both houses before the end Of this session.
In the stage-coAch days when the constitution
was made it necessary to allow liberal, time
between the election of president and the date Of
his Inauguration. Now such necessity exists:
At present too much time is allowed between the
election and the Inauguration, with the result that
for four months the country may be administered
by president who, having been defeated for re-
S1cCSlOH uOcS OUT Orl1L along until
his successor takes office. -,
But congress is usually not so delicate Men,
bers of congress who have been defeated for re-
election may cast decisive votes on important meas
ures during the short session from the December
after the election to the following March, while the
congress which has just been elected does not come
into existence until thirteen months after the date
of inauguration.
These incongruities would be ironed out by such
an amendment as the one passed by the senate.

40" HAS MOTOR
PATTERNED ON
EUROPEAN PLAN

The Knight type motor used in
the new Willys-Knight 40" is pat
termed after the European built
Knight type motors, known to be
exceptionally fast and powerful for
their piston displacement.
7 The ability of the Knight type of
motor is found in the fact that the
power development builds up rather
than falls off in long sustained
] tests.
! Adaptation Of European Design
The motor in the Willys-knight
l"7O' is AN adaptation Of European
fdesign to- American manufacturing
methods with proper consideration
for the use to which motor cars on
this side Of the world are put. But
| it is also built to conform to Euro
pean demands and to meet COMPETE
! ton of motor cars of the Minerva,
Daimler, Peugeot and other promin-
eht European manufacture.
| In competitive tests against Am
crican built cars in the same gen.
eral power class, the model no.
has outpointed its rivals in accel-
Grafton, hill climbing and sustained
thigh speed trials.
| The limitations placed upon pop
pet-valve motors by the possible
and practical sizes open to valve
areas are not inhibitions in the
power development Of the Knight
type motor. Higher compression
can also be maintained in q Knight
type motor than is possible in the
poppet-valve motor without serious
!! "pinging" difficulties under heavy
load.
Feature in Power Development
The ability to attain a true spher-
teal head in the combustion cham
Der of the Knight type motor is
also feature in power development
which is restricted in a poppet- valve
motor because of the valve con-
struction.
How these advantages of Knight
type construction have been utilized
in the Willys-Knight 40" to
achieve the greatest performance
range ever built into a car Of it's
class is interestingly shown in a
cutaway motor which will be one
of the striking parts of the WHY'S

Bishop Wehrle in communication TO The Tri
bune takes issue with some comments upon thc
divorce evil Applied to the isolated phrase which
he cites his criticisms may be tenable but the writ

resented by such personages the Countess Cath
cart and the Earl Of Craven. The rich in Europe
figure most in the divorce courts as they do here

Responsibility for imprcssing upon people the

The editorial criticized in addition to the para

things:f,

This was the text we tried to get across. The
other comment merely had reference to the very
easy system Of divorce in France and the conditions
that exist in the socalcd smart circles of Europe
Everyone knows that the great middle class is as
constant in marital things in Europe as in America
and probably more so, because of their intense re-
gious training.

immigration officials. If she had put an rs" on

Is! Col Charles Clifton, president of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce, in a recent in

transportation is deprived of possibilities Of

Automobile leaders and in many Govern
ment officials in most parts Of the world said
Colonel Clifton, "are alive to the fact that the
spread Of motor transportation to the point where
every family has car is ideal which will spell
economic well-.being and more satisfying life for
the individual. The automobile business has been
founded not primarily on astute craftsmanship but
ON the fact that the ministers to the universal
human desire for increasing the mobility of man.

automobile is democratic institution, that it makes
available national resources, creating wealth 80
that the masses of the people afford their own

Bismarck has forged ahead until now it is one

the Northwest. perusal of the columns of this

dustry in this city. Few cities of double or treb-
lc the population have fine plants for the dis
tributon of cars and accessories Bismarck.
Excellent service stations are maintained as valu-
able compliments of the sales department In
service and sales, Bismarck takes a high rank in
the automobile trade and an exceptionally large
territory looks to the Capital City for source of
supply.
!. Last month, Burleigh county registered 157 new
and only two counties in the state exceeded
this record for January. The fifteen counties gen.
orally regarded as Bismarck territory registered
500 new cars in January, merely an indication Of
the business prospects for 1926.
= 1t is hard to visualize the extent of the automo-
bile business done in Bismarck each year. Take
for instance the volume of 1925. In that year there
were SIG carloads of automobiles shipped into this
- city. Many were driven from factories under
their power result of sales made by Bis
marck dealers. So far this year 80 carloads OF
automobiles have been shipped to this city.
Automobile business done in Bismarck in 1926
preached nearly the $3,00O,0OO mark. The exact
S total was $2,SlOO32 as against $ll1s,9S4 in 1924
cent,
cloquet tribute to the progressive dealers of this
city.
Then there is the accessory business which in
1924 reached total Of $3lOl9O and in 1925 leaped
to\the high record of $5OO,598.
New cars sold in 1925 by Bismarck dealers totaled
3,O40 against 1885 in 1925. This year prom
