MODERN
Home IS EASY JOB
By the Building Editor

Just as people learn by doing so
do home builders learn by looking.
Persons who are interested in a
home of their own never have the
subject very far from their minds.
They notice the homes Of their
friends and the homes which they
see in course Of construction or al
ready inhabited. Personal observa-
ton Of homes already built as we'll
as the examination Of plans and
sketches account for the ideas which
prospective builders bring to their
contractor or lumber
dealer, members of the Bismarck
Demonstration Home Association
point out.
The fact that many persons want
a house similar to some other house
already built is what enables q con-
tractor to harmonize various ideas
and plans without risk of creating
an architectural monstrosity. When
the prospective builder wants a
house like that of John Jones, but
with this and that difference, the
person whom he is consulting about
plans looks at the Jones house and
decides if the ideas can be cor.
Any lumber dealer or contractor
has books showing plans but it is .
surprising fact that the best work
Of the plan maker hardly ever meets
with the entire approval Of the pros
pective builder. In almost every
case the owner has ideas of his own
which he wants incorporated in the
house.
just as an architectural plan or
sketch usually fails to win approval
without adjustment, 50 do the homes
of his friends fail to meet the aver
age builders idea Of what he would
like to have. The exceptions to this
general rule usually occur in eases
where the home builder is interested
in . house costing less money or
more money than the home Of his

CORN CROPS GOOD

/. Harvesting operations are COM
.pleted in many sections of North
Dakota, according to reports made
10 the Bank of North Dakota by
field representatives.
IN western Walsh and Nelson
counties harvesting operations are
finished except for some flax, ac-
.cording to A. l.. Miller. Threshing
will be completed there by today,
he said. In Cavalier county little
grain remains to be cut, but thresh-
ing is about 10 days later than in
Walsh and Nelson counties. Most
flax remains +, be cut.
Miller estimated the average
yields as follows:
Wheat, Is or IA bushels to the
acre; oats, 25 to 30; barley, about
%; rye, Is to Is; flax and corn, fair.
!. Pastures Drying Up
Pastures are drying up in that ter
kitory, but, sufficient feed remains
and the stock is in good condition.
/. Threshing is in progress in
che northwest and central parts
Of the state but little thresh-
ing has been done in the most
northern parts of that territory.
Come durum wheat still remains un-
Sut. Yields in McClusky county are
believed to average about Is bushels
30 the acre and those near Ruso
about IL bushels to the acre. The
corn crop in that territory will be
good. according to H. Leutz.
Y Rainfall delayed threshing and
harvesting operations in the first
part of the week, but winds and
temperature were moderate. The
condition of pasture and livestock
vas reported to be excellent.
Hard wheat in western Williams
county will average about Is to 20
bushels per acre, T. E. Charlson
said.
"Outside of the districts in Nc
kenzie county that were hailed out,
the hard wheat there will average
from IA to 35 bushels per acre." he
. said. Western Williams will aver
age Is to 20 bushels; eastern Will
liams county reports heavy yields
generally, with some over 80 bushels
20 the acre. Considerable late durum
was badly frosted, with total losses
reported by some farmers"
Poor Season For Durum
Taking the year as a whole,
Charlson said that the season was a
poor one for durum, the heavy
fields lodging badly and making it
almost impossible to harvest the
grain.
"Flax came through the season
with only slight damage" he con-
tinued, "barley good; rye very poor
and corn fair to good. Rye was far
below the early estimates. Consid-
cradle corn was damaged by frosts
August % and %, but no frosts
have been reported since then. Fields
that escaped damage from the frost
will mature about 80 per cent"
Rainy weather has delayed thresh-
ing operations in the southwestern
part of the state, C. A. Seamands
said in his report. Seamands re-
ported that the condition of pasture
and livestock was good.
