make a pilgrimage to this early

N. D. WHEAT, OATS,
HAY AND POTATOES
SHOWING DECREASE
Corn, Barley, Flax and Alfalfa
Either Unchanged or
Bettered Oct. I

Spring wheat, oats, potatoes and
all tame hay show further decreases
in production, since Sept. LIST, based
on Oct. LIST yield indications, while
corn, barley, flax and alfalfa, either
show no change, or have improved
according to the Oct. report of the
federal statistician for North Dakota.
Tfreshing returns show that the
GRIN crops are not turning out as
we'll as indicated by the earlier con-
dlt1ons. There was heavy growth
of straw, which promised better than
average production, but grain did not
always fill we'll and quality was not
always up to expectations.
Durum was more severly damaged
by rust this year than any of the
hard wheat varieties. Some fields
lodged SO badly, due to weakened
straw, that harvesting was difficult.
The preliminary yield of durum
wheat is placed at 9.5 bushels, in
dicating a production of 26.932 900
bushels, as compared with 1l.l27 900
bushels a year ago, and with 50,261,-
600 bushels the five-year average.
Some abandonment of the planted
acreage also is indicated.
Other spring wheat shows a de-
cline in yield Of 2-l0 of bushel since
Sept. LIST. The crop is estimated to
be 79,338,000 bushels, compared with
a five-year average production of
1883 900 bushels. The estimated
production of all spring wheat is
about 16 million bushels below the
five-year average.
Per acre yields Of both oats and
barley as estimated on oct. LIST are
below the five-year average. The
yield Of oats is placed at 81 bushels
per acre, indicating a crop of a.
4l5,000 bushels as compared with a
flVe-year average of 54,599 900
bushels. A barley yield of II bushels
indicates a total production OF A.
100000 bushels which is over bill
lion bushels above the five-year
average. due to an acreage consider
ably above the average.
Flax, for the fourth year in sue
cession, is a poor crop. Grasshopper
damage reduced the yield somewhat
III almost every field, but drought
caused the greatest damage. Stands
were thin in many late planted fields.
and growth in these was further re-
tarded by the shortage of moisture
during July and August. Reports in
dictate that portion Of the acreage
was never harvested. The estimated
production of 4,620,OO0 is 1899 900
bushels larger than last year, but
$4,000 bushels below the five-year
average.
The production of potatoes is esti-
mated to be 100000 bushels, only
slightly above last years crop, when
the acreage was % per cent smaller
than this years planted area. The
yield this year is likely to be the low
est recorded since 1919.
Hay production is not so good as
earlier conditions indicated. The dry
weather caused second crop alfalfa
TO be near failure and late plant
ed annual hays also were very poor.
Pastures picked up following the
rains Aug. q, but later dry weather
proved too much of a handicap and
condition on Oct. l was no better
than month ago, when it was re-
ported to be 40 per cent of normal.
Seasonal declines in milk and egg
production have occurred since Sept.
1st.

Sugar Beet Receipts
Larger This Season

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 13.-(P-
Receipts Of sugar beets here this week
have run from IS to 70 cars a day,
approximately 10 per cent heavier
than a year ago, according to railway
officials.
Potato loadings however were far
lighter than In 1881, due to the de-
pressed condition Of the potato mar
ket, dealers here said. Loadings on
the Dakota division of the Great
Northern averaged Is to 80 cars Of
potatoes this week as compared with
several times that number of previous
years at this season of the year.

Washington, Oct. 13.-(R-Gover-
nor. Franklin D. Roosevelt has barn.
stormed the West and returned mucl,
after the fashion of q conquerine
hero.
The more he travelled the higher
rose a surge Of opinion everywhere
that he would be elected to succeed
President Hoover on November 8.
There are several reasons why 1t
Is too early to abandon hope for a
Republican victory. but In no two
party contest since before the Civil
War has there been q more complete
tendency on the part of politicians
and political analysis to predict a
Democratic year.
Seldom have more states been de-
scribed as doubtful. Never did straw
votes indicate such startling switches
OF sentiment In rock-ribbed Repub-
lican states. For the first time a
Democratic campaign manager. Jim
Farley, Is able to refuse to concede
single state without becoming an
object of ridicule. Betting odds, re-
Gently on Hoover, are now against
him.
X X X
G. o. p. CHIEFS WORRY
Revelation of a great anti-Hoover
sentiment in the West is one of the
most important factors in the rapid
growth of Roosevelt prophecy
Seasoned political correspondents
were astonished at the stories they
heard and the signs they saw, along
with the apparent success of Roose-
velt's appeals to the Vests progress
sive and independent voters.
Now most Of them believe that
Roosevelt probably will win with the
Solid South, most OF the West, most
CT the Middlewest and a highly un-
certain number Of electoral votes
from the East.
Republican managers, many OF
them privately pessimistic, and all OF
tnem worried. have begun a counter
offensive which they hope will start
the tide the other way.
President Hoover himself has lee
the attack by penetrating the dis.
affected West for speech at Des
MONIES. Ia, and hundreds of Repub.
llcan orators, led by Secretary of the
treasury Ogden Mills. are beins
turned loose all along the line. The
Hoover address at Des Moines ha.
sounded the keynote for the Jesse,
campaigners. Many Republican
leaders found cause for renewed
optimism in the generally favorabl.
and enthusiastic reception which
1owans accorded to the president.
COOLIDGE ENLISTED
Former President Calvin Coolidge
one OF the party's greatest drawins
cards, has at last been billed for {
campaign speech at New York;

Hoover at a White House reception
has made an unprecedented bid To-
the Negro vote which for the frs
time has seemed to be hostile.
The Hoover ticket continues to b,
handicapped by the continued alb
sence of any substantial improve

failure OF its managers to plan ant
execute an intelligent, vigorous pro
gram Of attack.

PrOWler Locks Girl
in Basement; FleeS

Chief of Police C. H. Whiting was
called to the old Knuepple house To-
Gated on the corner of Chestnut and

Catholic church Monday morning to
locate a prowler who locked Miss
Evelyn Dripps in the basement of the
house as she was fixing the fire for

Miss Dripps is the daughter Of the

to move into the house within a few
days, she had been coming to Red
wood Falls every morning to tend the
fire.
When she went down stairs Monday
about 10 a. M, she heard the base
ment door slam and someone walk
ing up stairs. She tried the cellar
door but found it locked. She at
tempted to attract the attention of the
family living on the second floor, but
they did not hear her. After climb
ing out through the cellar window,
she went to the home of. L. P. Dollif
and called Chief Whiting.
The chief of police searched the
house but could find no clue of the
prowler. He believes hobo stopped
there for the night and when Miss
Dripps went to the basement, he ran
upstairs and locked the door to detain
her until he made his escape.

More than $500 has been saved in
the cost of groceries at the county
home since March 1, last year accord
ing to William F. Johns, superinten-
