RUST CAUSING
LIGHT DAMAGE
TO FEW CROPS
Black Rust in Stark and Dunn
Counties, Bank Agents
Report
WHEAT HARVEST STARTS
Red Rust Infection Is General
Over Northeastern North
Dakota
WHEAT HARVEST STARTS

Haying throughout North Dakota
Is nearly complete and harvest OF
field grains will begin in earnest the
latter part Of this week and tie first
of next week, according to weekly
reports made to the Bank of North
Dakota by field agents.
Many reports of red rust and some
of the black species were made to the
bank this week. The damage was
estimated to be slight, however, and
the general opinion was that the
stems were too strong - be bothered
with the disease.
"Signs of black rust were fouEd ir
nearly all fields in Dunn and Stark
counties, but grain is far enough
advanced that little, if any. Gamaye
will be done by it," said H. Leutz.
"Heads on wheat are generally very
large, with plump kernels and six
rows on most heads. We will have
better yields than we have had for
many years.
"Rye and barley harvest got
under way and wheat harvest is ex-
pected to be general in ths week
following. The condition Of barley
and oats is excellent. Corn is from
18 inches to seven feet high and If
weather conditions are satisfactory
corn will come through in good shape
despite the poor growing conditions
the first part Of the season."
Leutz reported that his territory
had sufficient moisture to last
through the season. Moderate winds
were recorded throughout the week.
Livestock Good
The condition of livestock and pas
ture in that section is excellent. he
said.
Griggs, Steele, Trail and Grand
Forks counties have haying nearly
completed and harvesting is well
started, according to A. L. Miller,
reporting for the northeast sections
Of the state. The quality Of hay
crop there is fair and the grain crop
is considerably above average in
most districts, he said.
Ideal weather for harvesting the
crops has prevailed during the last
week. There were no strong winds
and temperatures were about right.
There is considerable red rust on
flax in Grand Forks county, and
some on fields in Griggs, Trail and
Steele countless" he said. walsh
and Pembina counties also reported
some red rust. The damage to the
crops there was not estimated. The
crop was damaged by neither hail
nor insects during the week.
Harvesting Of barley, rye and oats
is well started there and some fi;lds
of wheat will be ready next week.
Prospects are generally considered
better than 1927 and about ID days
earlier.
Predict Barley Yield
A forecast for a yield Of 80
bushels per acre for barley and an
average of 10 bushels per acre for
rye was made by C. A. Seamands,
in the southwestern part of the
state.
General prospects there continue
good, he said. Barley and rye are
being cut and some Of the wheat is
about ready for harvest. A little
precipitation was received during
the week, but there is plenty If
moisture. Pasture and livestock con-
dition is excellent and somc cattle
is being shipped to slaughtcriag
houses.
Considerable damage to grain is
reported in the Deering territory
during the last week, said H. M.

lieves that women today should re-
member the modesty in dress shown

women into Christian women to such
. touching point that women
dragged into the circus to be torn

He urged the organization to con-
tinue its struggle against immodesty
in dress "even il it doesn't give i'm
mediate results"

LINERS SPEED
TO RESCUE OF
DISABLED SHIP
Captain Courtney and Three
Companions Estimated 500
Miles Out
REQUEST IMMEDIATE AID
Hop from Azores to New
Foundland Halted by Un.
known Trouble
(By the Associated Press)

Captain Frank T. Courtney, Brit.
ish aviator, and three companions,
today were tossing on the mid.
Atlantic in the Dornier- Napier Wa!
flying boat in which they took off
from Horta, the Azores, yesterday
afternoon.
Several liners had turned from
their courses and were speeding to
the aviator's assistance with the
prospect that the first would reach
them in a few hours.
Land stations had not intercepted
direct radio messages from the air.
plane but several ships relayed re-
assuring messages that Courtney
had said he was in no immediate
danger although requesting imme-
diate aid.
Apparently the crew Of the flying
boat retained the use of their radio,
with which they first made known
their predicament and with which
they were expected to continue to
guide their rescuers.
Dow, Midway
The plane piloted by Captain
Courtney left the Azores At 1:55 p.
M. eastern standard time, on We'd
nesday, for Newfoundland. The
liner Cedric, which today was re-
ported as within 100 miles Of where
the craft was forced down yester-
day, had reported that she was about
midway Of the 1900 mile stretch
which the Englishman was attempt
ing to negotiate.
The flyers had hoped to reach
Newfoundland by 10 a. m., eastern
standard time today, but it appeared
from weather reports that even had
they remained in the air it was un-
likely that they would have reached
their goal before early afternoon.
The position Of the plans was re-
ported by several ships as AZ north,
Al west.
The White Star liner Cedric was
apparently the nearest, with 100
miles of water intervening when tn
call for aid came. A cable frol.
London reported that the liner Celtic
was also proceeding to the rescue.
Ships Speed to Rescue
The liner Columbus, Captain John
sen, reported t, the Associated Press,
had left her westbound course to
speed in search Of Captain Courtney.
The captain estimated that he was
210 miles from the plane.
The Swedish steamer Gripsholm,
which was in direct communication
with Courtney, and the Berengaria,
were relaying the calls for help but
it did not appear from their mes
sages whether they also were pro-
ceeding toward the plane.
The Celtic had reported hearing
distress signals from the Courtney
plane at 9:30 a. M, Greenwich mean
time, which corresponds to 4:30,
eastern standard time.
If this message was sent at about
the time the airplane was forced
down, Captain Courtney had been
flying IA hours and IS minutes. He
had expected to maintain q flying
speed Of 100 miles an hour which
would have brought him at the hour
he was forced down to within 400
miles Of his goal. The position CIV
en- in the radio messages, however,
indicated that he was at least 100
miles further from land. 1t was ap-
parent that the winds had cut down
his speed.
