WHEAT CROP ISSEEN
Is Slightly Larger Than Aver
age Production For 1924
1923 Period

Production of 123,749,OOO bushels
of all spring wheat in North Dakota
this year is forecast by the federal
agricultural statistician at Fargo in
his July / crop report.
This is slightly larger than the
average production for the five-year
period from 1924 to 1928.
All crops are above normal in de-
velopment, and harvest will begin at
about the same date as last year,
when prolonged period of high tenn
peratures in early July forced the
ripening Of all grains.
Moisture conditions range from
fair to good, with the eastern dis
tricts and particularly the south end
of the Red River valley experiencing
a shortage at this time, and with
crops showing some deterioration
since July /. Grasshopper damage
has not been serious in this state,
being confined TO small areas in scat
tered localities.
The 1882 corn crop promises to be
one Of the largest ever produced in
the state, on record acreage of l.
100000, an increase Of Is per cent
above the acreage harvested last fall,
and 81 per cent larger than the five
year average acreage. Production is
forecast to be 34,2OO,OOO bushels as
compared with 2l,442,OOO bushels
harvested in 1881 and 22,094, 900
bushels the five-year average produc-
ton.
Durum wheat acreage is over $780,
600 acres below the five-year aver
age but 141 900 acres larger than the
acreage estimated to have been sown
in the spring of 1881. A production
of $685. 900 bushels is forecast COM
pared with a five-year average pro-
duction of 5O,26l 900 bushels for the
period 1924,1928.
Other spring wheat acreage of T.
$4,000 is the largest ever planted in
the state since 1919 and exceeds the
five-year average acreage by over
one and one-half million.
An area of 2,1150O acres has been
planted to oats compared with the

The seed-bearing flowers look like q
string OF tiny green beads. Each pistil

There are three and sometimes four
stigmas, which are loved. The little
pointed pods have two valves and open

bit Of cotton, and sail away on friend

The tree produces so many seeds that
buildings and yards are well sprinkled

leaves. that move with the slightest
movement of air. The leaf is very at
tractive, about inches long, slightly
angular at the base, and tapering at
the tip. The edge is saw-toothed. with
tendency to ruffie near the stem. It
is thick, with shiny green surface
above. Early in the Autumn the leaves
are brilliant yellow and drop early.
The wood is weak, f1ne-grained and
whitiSh-yellow; it has a satiny luster
and is not durable. Furniture and
cooperage are made of 1t, as well as
crates and woodenware, but its greatest
value Is in making wood pulp for paper.
Many newspapers and books are printed
on the cottonwood pulp. 1t makes the
best Of gloss magazine paper for print

The little, shining, red-brown buds
are covered with resin, and the bees
patronize the tree in early Spring by
the millions. The resin is the best of
glue to seal UP the cracks In the hive or
tree where the honey Is to be stored for
the coming Winter.
With such record as this, any tree
may well be proud.

At first he had thought that 1t might
be his imagination. that there really
wasn't any drumming at all. But he
soon knew that this wasn't so. That
drumming was real Whenever he
moved, though he did it ever so care
fully, the drumming ceased. If he kept
perfectly still it would begin again in
a little while. There would be short
rapid roll of that little drum and then
silence for q few minutes. Then it
would be repeated And though he
listened and listened he couldn't decide
Just where 1t came from.

Easter as Spring Festival
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Of the best In others. 1t can raise
paean Of Thanksgiving, and sing a song
of gladness that the beauty OF tnelr
own natures can be revived, however
dull and downcast, however weary ana
worn, or seemingly dead.
There are processes by which this
lovely side Of ones nature is brought
back into the very flower Of fine char
scter. 1t is not so much by striving
and by directing ones energies to the
quelling of the undesirable traits as 1t
is by lifting the thoughts to the sun
shine Of purity. Consider the lines,
how they grow, and this is no vapld
idea. 1t Is fundamental verify. II
one allows the thoughts to dwell on
whatsoever things are true, honest, just,
pure, lovely and Of good report, these
things have reviving rays for the heart
just as surely as does the sunshine en-
liven the lilies to grow into mature
beauty.
The revival Of loveliness to the human
soul comes by paths of pleasantness
just as the return of Spring in all its
glory comes through natures basking
in physical sunshine and the breath OF
balmy winds Hard work is not in
volved. straining effort is absent Open
ing the heart to the best. the finest
and the loveliest is essential. 1t Is re-
viving, restoring and Joyous.

INK.
" ANCY names have been used in
l. late years for certain brands Of
ink; but there is one the mer-
H. chants have missed. "Squink"
might be the name for brown
kepia ink. Such ink comes from the
animal known as a squid. If we take
the "d' away from squid and add INK"
we have our new name.
The @uid is a strange inhabitant Of
the ocean. 1t has 10 arms, or tentacles,
and two of these arms are used for
teaching out to capture prey. Most
kquids are small-a common length be-
ing 10 inches-and there are large
enemies which they fear. Meet
ing such an enemy, they send forth q
cloud of ink! The ink hides them as
they swim away.
Squids are caught by men and ink

bodies. This ink is black or very dark

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.

~HA">17@
RN~ \, ~. ~
THIS very small handwriting,
widely spaced on the page, sug-
gests that the writer may be OF
l. an artistic temperament. She
perhaps delights in seeing things
attractively arranged. Apparently she
does not deliberately seek TO create an
impression, for her letters are neither
exactly nor beautifully formed. She
possibly is the true artist who is too
busy with creative ideas to try to i'm
press others
The broken lower loops indicate that
she has o very strongly developed sense
Of humor This undoubtedly has held
her in good stead in many instances OF
disappointment and encouragement.
She probably can see the funny side OF
q situation even when It closely con-
Germs her. So many people can only
see humor in things which happen to
others.
A long t-bar such as she uses denotes
that the writer is person OF real
strength of character Her determine
tion, coupled with her charming man
ner, probably makes her outstanding
among people. She appears to have a
real, individualized personality, which
attracts many. Part Of her charm may
lie In her absolute lack of self-con-
sciousness. She possibly does not realize
how appealing she is to others.
1t is probable that she has a very
good memory that is Of great assistance
to her. Seemingly she would be invalu-
able to some work where many details
have to be kept at fingers ends. Many
art and music stores are anxious for
people of her abilities, because of the
large stock of little-called-for things
which they must carry.
She apparently is a great lover of
flowers. Delicate blossoms Of the Spring
are perhaps her favorites. 1t is prob
able that she delights IN taking walks
in the Spring, in order TO enjoy the
wild flowers that are so attractive at
that time.
