STATE RYE CROP IS
REPORTED SMALLER
Than YIELD IN 1880
Winter Wheat Crop in Nation
Expected to Be 4o, 900, 900
Bushels Above 1890

Fargo, N. D.. May 1.-THE condi-
ton Of the winter rye crop in North
Dakota on May LIST was 78 per cent
Of normal, indicating a production of
IL 1925 900 bushels as compared with
3,134 900 bushels harvested in 1890
and with 14.472000 bushels, the five
year average production, according to
the May 1st crop report of the fed
eral agricultural statistician.
The condition of the rye crop Is one
point lower than on May 1st last year,
and 3.5 points below the ten-year
average. The report indicates that of
the 1,265 900 acres seeded last fall
LOTS 900 acres remain for harvest.
This is an abandonment representing
Is per cent of the seeded acreage as
compared with a IL per cent aban-
donme::t in 1880 and per cent in
1929. A number of reports from crop
correspondents in the northwest dis
trict indicate that cutworms and army
worms are doing some damage to the
growing rye.
May 1st stocks of hay on farms of
the state are 2.5 per cent larger than
a year ago, representing 10000 tons,
or 8.5 per cent of the 1880 production.
A year ago, $4,000 tons were reported,
and the five-year average stocks are
38l 900 tons. Production of all hay in
1880 was 100000 tons greater than in
1929. This. combined with the mild
open winter, resulted in heavier hay
stocks on hand May LIST in spite of
larger numbers of livestock on farms
than in the previous year. The con-
dition Of tame hay meadows on May
1st is reported to be IS per cent Of
normal or per cent lower than last
May. Lack of rainfall and a period Of
low temperatures during April ac-
counts for this difference. A drop of
9 per cent in pasture condition is also

PUTNAM TELLS Lions
OF WORK IN COUNTY
Says Farmers Can Make Most
Money by Feeding Grain to
Their Livestock

Experimental work with commercial
fertilizer, an attempt to increase in
terest in alfalfa and improve methods
of planting 1t, five-acre corn con-
test and efforts to get farmers in this
AREA to finish their livestock, at least
partially, before sending it to market
are the principal items in which the
county agents office now is interest
ed, members Of the Bismarck Lions
club were told at their luncheon meet
ing Monday.
The speaker was County Agent H.
o. Putnam who had just returned
from conference Of county agents at
Fargo. There, Putnam said, he learn
ed that most farmers can make money
by feeding grain products to their
livestock and marketing 1t ION the
hoof." A large proportion Of the
cattle slaughtered at the Fargo pack
ing plant could have been improved
a grade or two If they had been "fin-
ished off" on grain, he said.
Another angle makes the finishing
of livestock, advisable, he said. This
is the fact that the farmer pays ap-
proximately five times as much
freight when marketing cash grain
as he pays on the same material mar
keted as livestock. An additional ad-
vantage, he asserted, Is that the
fertilizer produced by the animals
maintains the productiveness of the
soil, although some persons in this
area are not interested in fertilizer
he said.
Demonstration work with alfalfa
shows, he said, that failure to get q
stand may be caused by poor planting
methods. He said the system used in
three demonstrations last week was
to pack the ground firmly and then
SOW the seed with drill.
Tests of soils in this area show
that phosphates Is the element most
frequently lacking, he asserted. and
the commercial fertilizer being used
In trials now under way is heavy In
this material.
A resolution was adopted by the
club which went on record as opposed
to the proposed referendum On the
gasoline tax. The resolution urged
that no one sign the petitions now in
circulation in some parts of the state.
A committee composed of Fred Pet
erson, E. b. Klein and Otert Olson
was appointed to take up with sena-
tors and representatives matters in
connection with President Hoover's
proposal to curtail army expenses.
Peterson suggested that the policy
might include the withdrawal of the
garrison from Fort Lincoln here

JUDGE DENIES
STEvE'S PLEA
Writ of Coram NobiS Re-
fused by Hines.

By Times Special
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, April IT.
Petition of D. G. Stephenson, for
mer Indiana Ku-KluX Khan head,
for writ of coram nobis was de-
MED by Judge Fred E. Hines in
Hamilton circuit court here today
because of lack of Jurisdiction.
AS long as Stephenson has an ap-
peal before the supreme court, the
circuit court nor any other court has
jurisdiction on any phase Of the
case, Hines declared.
Attorneys for Stephenson init
mated they might consider the
judges suggestion that any writ OF
coram nobis be filed with the SUI
preme court.
Stephenson is without remedy in
the statehouse at indianapolis" said
B. G. jenkins, one of the attorneys
for the former Khan dragon. ct
was because Of this that he has
invoked the common law" Jen-
kins referred to leisure of the SUI
preme court in acting on Stephen
sons appeal.
In the petition for the writ, the
former Khan leader, who is serving
a life sentence in the state prison
for the death of Miss Madge Ober-
holtzer, indianapolis woman, con-
tended he should be given new
trial. He said that, under threat
of death he was unable to testify in
his own defense, and that mob
prejudice prevailed throughout the
trial in 1925.

QUIT NICARAGUA,
STIMSON WARNS
ALL AMERICANS
Marines Not Even to Guard
Lives Except Along
Coast.
Earlier Details, Page TwO)

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 17.-secre-
tary of State Stimson advised
American citizens in Nicaragua to-
day either to evacuate the country
or to move to coast cities if they
did not feel safe under the protec-
ton of the Nicaraguan national
guard.
He made it plain that marine
forces will not be employed
throughout Nicaragua even to pro-
tect American lives.
Stimson'S advice, evoked by a re-
cent outbreak Of inSurrectionists on
the Nicaraguan east coast, was con-
tanned in messages to the American
minister in Managua and the Amer
lean consul at Bluefields.
St1mson'S action was viewed here
as marked departure from the
state departments policy of the last
twenty-five years.
Previously, this government has
gone to great lengths to guarantee
protection of American life during
outbreaks in the Caribbean sea.
The new policy, it is understood.
is indicated by the administrations
desire to hquidate the entire
Nicaraguan situation as soon as
possible, and not to revive hostility
of Latin-American nations by gen
eral employment of marine forces
in Nicaragua.
Meanwhile, however, commanders
OF the three American warships
stationed off the east coast of
Nicaragua have orders to land
forces if necessary to protect coast
towns, in which United States ci5-
liens reside, from insurgent attacks.
