JUDGE CLOSES
SWEET ACTION
Coffey, at jamestown, Dis.
misses Case Against Kid
der County Man

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 17.-Judge
j. A. Coffey, in district court here
Tuesday sustained demurrer in the
case of the Depositors Holding COM
pany Of the closed City National
bank, Bismarck, against Herman
SWEET, Nonpartisan floor leader in
the last session of the legislature.
when the case came up for hearing.
This will close the case unless an
appeal to the state supreme court ia
taken. The court, in dismissing the
action, held that informations filed
against SWEET do not state criminal
cause for their issuance.
Sweet made an assignment in
writing Of an insurance policy and
the policy never had been delivered
to the bank. Later, the policy was
surrendered to the life insurance
company and SWEET received $3.50. il
il alleged.
The court held THAT no statute had
been perfected to govern assigned
property and no violation Of the Law
against the disposal Of property
with lien against IL was shown. The
most the action amounted to, Judgs
Coffey declared, was breach q
contract.

RUST CAUSES
DECREASE IN
CROP YIELDS
Oats Harder Hit Than Other
Grains-Rain Beneficial to
Late Grains

Rust has materially decreased the
prospect for bountiful yield of
small grains in some parts Of North
Dakota, according to reports to the
Bank Of North Dakota by its field
agents.
Oats will be especially poor, rust
having hit that grain harder than
any other. In some sections the
wheat has shriveled as the result Of
rust and former estimates Of big
yields have been scaled down some
what. Despite this fact, however, the
prospect is fgr. a better than average
crop, the reports Indicate.
Heavy rains. during the LAST few
loss by delaying harvest. In some
parts Of the state the fields are too
wet to work and will remain soaked
/ for several days. The rain, however,
I is generally believed to have slight
" improved the outlook for corn and
flax.
Rain Delays Harvest
A. L. Miller, reporting on condi-
tions in Foster, Eddy and Wells
counties, said this would have been
the biggest week Of the season for
harvesting had it not been for the
rain. In these counties the wheat
acreage is 30 per cent Of last year
while barley and flax acreage were
increased. The prospective yield is
not nearly as good as it was 30 days
ago, Miller said, many fields having
developed poorly. He estimates to
25 bushels Of wheat an acre, oats 10
to 20, barley Is to 80. rye II to 30,
flax to Is and corn late.
i For the nine southwestern coun-
! ties, C. A. Seamands estimates yields
Of 12 to Is bushels Of wheat an acre,
oats is to 40, barley 20 to 40, rye IS
to 30 and flax 8 to IL. Grasshoppers
the rain caused considerable lodging
Of grain.
Late Grains Benefited
The rain was needed for late grains
on the Missouri Slope, according to
H. Leutz. Red rust has severely DAM
aged oats and number Of fields OF
wheat were badly lodged even before
the rain. He estimates wheat 10
bushels, oats 80 bushels. barley 40.
rye 12 and flax to 12. Wheat is
being cut on the green side to pre-
vent loss from rust :and harvest
would have been general had it not
been for the rain.
II. NJ. Erickson has. scaled. down
his forecast for crops IN the Minot
area TO. wheat Is, oats IS, barley Is,
rye Is and flax Is. The rain helped
the flax. Harvesting Of all grains
| now Is general in that area. As has
! been the case throughout the summer
pastures and livestock are in excel
lent condition.
| The crop summary issued today by
the federal weather bureau here says
that harvesting and threshing are
general although rain stopped farm
work In some sections. Some black
stem. rust 10 observed on late wheat
but the crop is too. far along to do

/ milk stage while other fields are very
late. All flax II In the boil stage

Letters From Our Readers
Editor, DAILY WORKER:

Who said Lindbergh's welcome was
purely for Wall Street Propaganda
and Militarism? While the big par
ade going on near the battery with
military band music and marching of
soldiers and sailors with guns and
bayonets in their hands to show how
democratic we are and the great re-
democratic we are, and the great re-
telling how great and strong we are,
a seaman also thought great things to
enlighten some people of real facts
about these affairs.
His idea was to. merely sell The
DAILY WORKER, a newspaper just
like any other newspaper for sale,
only with different reading matter
inside the pages.
A cop, loyal to his masters knows
already his orders, he is not satisfied
with telling the seaman to leave that
place, but he confiscated the whole
bundle of the DAILY WORKERS
while other boys were selling their
newspapers freely.
