MAILLIBRARIES
GIVEN SUPPORT
Good Season Forecast by Off.
Gals for Method Instituted
by State

Officials of the state library here
are confident that this will be a sue
cessful winter for the travelling
libraries which are sent out from
here each year.
In the past, it is woefuly admitted,
the travelling libraries did not seem
to meet with universal approval.
There were few repeat orders and
it was necessary to find new Gus
toners each year.
This season repeat orders have
been numerous and the Librarians
are happy as result. They feel
that the travelling library fast is
coming into its own in North Da-
kota.
They admit that the equality of
the libraries sent out rather than
lack Of appreciation on the part Of
the reading public is responsible for
the lack Of repeat orders in previous
years. In many cases the books did
not meet the needs of the persons
to whom they were sent.
New selections were made this
year, however, and have met with a
more enthusiastic response.

man Finds
SEASONAL SHRINK SEEN
Ample Supply of Feed for Live.
stock Is Forecast Through
out State

North Dakota livestock is in good
condition, with ample feed available
to care for normal needs, according
to the monthly report issued today
by Paul c. Newman, agricultural
statistician of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
No change in the condition of
sheep in North Dakota was noted
during October, the statistician de-
clared, with the usual number of
ewes being held for breeding stock.
very favorable weather with
little wind and precipitation and UNI
seasonably warm temperatures have
been principal factors accounting for
the good condition of the livestock"
Newman said.
THE general absence of precipita-
ton has prevented considerable
amount Of fall blowing Winter
range prospects continue fair to
good. For the entire western range
area comprising II states, all live
stock is in very good condition with
ample supplies of hay and other
feeds for normal needs"
Cattle Sold Close
Due to decrease in pasture and
range feed, cattle in the state showed
a slight seasonal decrease during
October, he said. No yard feeding
has been done, however. Cattle have
been sold close, due to high prices
and practically all marketable cattle
has been disposed of except cows,
which are being held back.
North Dakota ranges declined two
points, with 100 as normal, during
the month, he said, due principally
to drought. All grasses have cured
we'll and are of good quality. Pas
lures have dried up generally and
are supplying little feed.
Cattle in most northwest and
western states have been marketed
very closely due to the prevailing
high prices, Newman continued. In
Montana cattle are in excellent con-
dition, with little local demand for
stock cattle because of high prices.
Wyoming cattle are also in excellent
condition and have been sold close
by farmers. In South Dakota cattle
are going into the winter in good
condition. The cattle there have also
been marketed close to the necessary
number on the farms.
Good Condition Reported
Speaking Of the range country in
general, Newman says that the cat
tie industry is in the best financial
condition it has been for years.
Cattle are in very good flesh and
during the fall the animals have
shown only a light seasonal shrink
in condition. Cattle over the most
part of the range country has been
sold close. and higher prices have
resulted in little tendency to re-
stock"
The condition of sheep in North
Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and
Montana is excellent. but winter
range prospects in Utah, Nevada,
Idaho and parts of New Mexico.
Arizona and California are only fair.
A fair demand for stock sheep,
especially younger animals. has been
noticed in Montana. with North Da-
kota buyers providing a good market
for much of the stock. A good de-
mand for ewes of all ages prevails
in South Dakota.

HISTORICAL HORSE CHESTNUTS ARE
RECEIVED BY GOVERNOR MADDOX
Product of Trees Dates Back
10 Washington and Light
Horse Harry Lee

Thirteen -chcstnuts from
Washington's Friendship tree at
Bath, Pennsylvania, said to be im-
portant historically. have been re-
ceived here by Governor Walter
Maddox.
The Washington Friendship tree
as young sapling was given to
General Robert Brown by Washing
ton as a token Of friendship. Cen
eral Brown planted the sapling on
his estate, where it is standing today.
+. u. Wanner, secretary Of the
Board of Administration and also
in charge of the capitol grounds,
said that the seeds would be planted
on the grounds on Arbor Day. He
said that while the horse chestnut
tree is native Of warmer climates
than that Of North Dakota, never
theless the tree was of hardy
variety and he expects it to grow
and raise chestnuts in years to come.
Was Original Gift
According to Barbara Bayne, a
tree historian. on April 10, 1885,
General Light Horse Harry" Lee
presented Washington with IL horse
chestnut saplings as a friendship
gift. The story goes that Washing
ton planted four of the saplings on
his Mount Vernon estate and two
of the others he gave to General
Robert Brown. who was his guest at
the time, as friendship gift.
Brown is said to have carried the
saplings over the mountains on
horseback, planting them at his
home near Bath. One of the sap
lings died. the other grew to a tree
OF good size, having dimensions Of
over 20 feet in circumference, Is feet
in height and branch spread of IS
feet.
In 1921 storm wrecked this great
tree, SO that its days are numbered
it is believed. Seeing the end of
the tree drawing near, it was decid-
ed to send out nuts from this years
crop to be planted at various places
and establish what would be known
as Americas Friendship Grove.
Ii to Each State
Thirteen chestnuts Of this years
crop have been sent to each Of the
governors of the As states, of the
American Territories and island pos
sessions. Three nuts have been sent
to each Of 64 universities and col
leges for campus paintings. Others
to receive nuts include the Botanical
Gardens Of Los Angeles; the Botan-
ical Gardens of New York City; the
Old Time Trail Drivers association
of San Antonio, Texas; Council
Grove, Kansas; the City of Bath,
and the City of Philadelphia.
As none of the trees presented by
! Lee to Washington are now standing
at Mount Vernon. II nuts will be
presented to the Mount Vernon
Ladies Association to be planted in
grove known as Washington's
Friendship grove.
This years crop of nuts was not
sufficient to supply the capitals OF
the world with the friendship nuts
but it is planned by Mrs. Bayne that
within two years every capital in the
world will have received the seeds
Arbor Day has been stipulated as
the planting date Of these seeds a,
the various points in the country.

Coolidge Rumor

Chicago, Nov. 15.-@-W Wheat
advanced sharply today, after early
downturns in price, but on the bulGes
met with increased selling, especially
from the northwest. Upward swings
of the wheat market followed reports
that President Coolidge might out
line farm relief plans in addressing
the National Grange tomorrow night.
Widespread attention was likewise
given to statements by Secretary
Jardine that the millable supply Of
Canadian wheat this season may be
less than last year, and that during
the close of navigation on the Great
Lakes European wheat buyers will
have to turn to the United States for
a larger proportion of purchases.

Bearish estimates Of wheat yield

that wheat offerings from Argen-

1928 Australian wheat crop was Of
ficially placed at 154, GOO, 900 bushels,
an increase of 100000 bushels
over recent private forecasts and
45,000,O0O bushels more than last
year. On the other hand, Buenos
Aires today was again reporting
heavy rains, a condition likely to
hamper cutting of wheat and to
bring about crop damage.
Improved weather conditions over
the corn belt gave the corn market
q downward bent much of the time
today. There was talk current, too,
that with Illinois and Iowa having
assurance of practically 9OO,OOO,OOO
bushels Of corn, Chicago will accum-
ulate . large stock from this years
crop. It was pointed out also that
the corn market had been on the up
grade for seven days, and profit
taking sales were expanding.
