Harvesting of Big Crop Will
Be General in 2 Weeks, Fargo

Outlook Is Good
LITTLE RUST DANGER

Fargo, N. D., August 1.-tP)-Pos-
sibility exists that this years wheat
crop in North Dakota will exceed the
record crop Of l51 100000 bushels in
1916 is advanced in the monthly re-
view Of business conditions compiled
by the Northern and Dakota Trust
company under the direction Of +. w.
Clemens.
Whether or not the crop sets
new record nothing can now prevent
it from being better than average,
according to the review WHICH is spe-
cially prepared for the Associated
Press and its member newspapers.
The review follows:
Harvesting of big crop of rye is
under way in North Dakota today
and harvesting of big or bumper
crop of wheat will be general in two
weeks, according to reports received
from interested observers in many
different sections of the state, in
cluding +. d. Mccartney, Oakes; G..
s. Newberry, Carrington; George
Keup, Columbus; c. w. Ross, Grand
Forks, and J. p. Hess, Mandan.
A big crop of wheat is assured
over the 0,0O0,00O-bushel mark.
There is chance for a record crop
in the history of the state. Develop
ments of the next ten days in re-
spect to rust and weather will de-
termine whether the 1927 wheat crop
will exceed the previous high mark
set in 1915 when the prairie lands
of North Dakota yielded ISL ,970, 900
bushels of wheat. To exceed this to-
tai, this years crop would have to
average 15h bushels per acre or
more, on the basis Of the government
estimate Of 1887, 900 acres.
Weather Conditions Good
Since the late start this spring the
wheat crop has been treated to ideal
weather conditions--low temperatures
and plenty of rain-and today the
stands and length of straw are ev-
erything that could be desired OBJ
servers concur in the opinion that
nothing can prevent big crop.
Whether the crop will attain the pro-
portions of bumper" depends upon
the development Of the next few days
while the wheat is maturing.
Infection from black stem rust is
reported from nearly all localities,
but in every case the reports add
there is little or no noticeable dam

ception Of the western one-third of

Paris, Aug. l.--UP)- P)-Former Crown
Prince Carols declaration that HIS
remuneration Of his rights to the
Rumanian throne was under duress
and therefore not binding is causing
hut slight disturbances in Rumanian
quarters in Paris.
His action may create a real Carol
party in Rumanla, his partisans say,
or it may, according to his opponents,
prove to the world. if not to him, that
he is definitely out Of the running.
Carols statement made to the AS
sociated Press Saturday evening,
gave no inkling Of any determination
to try to mount the throne immedi-
ately; he merely announced his can
ddacy and said he was waiting to be
urged.
Rumanians here say his avowed
supporters in Rumania naturally are
few because they would be opposing
King Ferinand's will and constitu-
tional acts. They call attention to
the fact that all Of parliament, even
the opposition. has accepted young
Carols remuneration.

Great Church Leader

Los Angeles, Aug. 1.-R-The
principal cause of trouble between
Aimee Semple Mcpherson and her
mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, was
unmasked today, as the two warning
leaders of Angelus Temple vowed
their willingness to meet once more
and discuss the elder woman's de-
mands for "fifty-fifty" split of the
property, which they have accumu-
lated since starting their big relig-
ious enterprise. The temple often is
referred to as million dollar con-
cern.
Plans for the conference were an
nounced last night after Mrs. Ken
nedy, who recently was ordered re.
moved as business manager of the
church, had declared she would con-
slider no settlement except an equal
division of the financial receipts Of
the institution. The evangelist then
declared her Willingness to meet Mrs.
Kennedy in an effort to settle the

pie.

Mrs. Mcpherson and her mother
