DELAY
NOT DANGEROUS
ROBERTS SAYS
Points to Late Seeding Dates
of Past Years-Sl0pe Av.
cragc Is April Is

Farmers have no occasion to worry
because Of the delay in seeding
caused by rainy weather OF the past
week, U. W. Roberts, federal. weather
observer here, says.
1.-THE seeding period has little to
do with the harvesting period. the
records of the past 40 years show"
Roberts says. ain other words, late
spring does not always indicate a
probable late harvest. The harvest
ing period depends almost entirely
on weather conditions during the
growing season. A hot, dry summer
always advances the harvesting per-
iod and cool, wet summer rctafds
it,"
Roberts cited figures compiled by
DR.. J. H. Sheppard Of the state agri-
cultural college to support his con-
tcntion that the seeding season will
not come too late this year. The dates
generally range from April 2 to May
II, the average being April 25 In the
Red River Valley and about April 1e

First Anniversary
of Nehi's Arrival
to Be Celebrated

Just year ago tomorrow. April
10. the Capital City Bottling Works
introduced into North Dakota the
Nehi line Of fruit favored drinks
and in honor Of the occasion the COM
pany is observing q regular birth
day anniversary. The Bismarck COM
pany enjoyed the distinction Of being
the second bottling company north Of
the Mason Dixon line to secure the
bottling franchise for what is today
the fastest selling line of fruit
favored bottled carbonated bever-
ages in the country. The only other
franchise . year ago north OF the
Mason-Dixon line was in Cleveland,
Ohio.
The development of the trade on
this drink in this territory has been
really phenomenal, according to ]. r.
Sell, proprietor Of the local company.
It's rapid jump to first position is
due to its delicious flavor and its
exceptional food value, he says. Al

state is held by the Capital City

"Already in several North Dakota

"A word here and there will be most
effective in getting rid of them. The
