REPORTS SAY WHEAT
PRODUCTION ON 500
FAR BELOW NORMAL
Emmons Hardest Hit OF Coun-
ties on Local Division,
Cross Asserts

Wheat yields along the 500 Line
will be less than half Of the usual
average, according to estimates COM
piled by B. G. Cross, superintendent
Of the Bismarck division. The aver
age for the division Is normally 49,
100000 bushels and in 1927 the pro-
duction run over 81 ,O00, 900 bushels
It is estimated that the production
this year will average between five
end one-half to six million bushels.
The wheat is exceptionally heavy
this year running from So to 63
pounds to the bushel and the protein
content is exceptionally high, elevator
managers report.
The best crops 50 far reported are
around Makoti, Parshall, Ryder, Van
Hook and Sanish. Wheat along the
Sanish branch is running from to
l6 bushels although there are fields
that run as low as four bushels. The
Loorest crop along the division Is In
Emmons county where it is estimated
that the yield will be about one bushel
per acre.
Flax will average from four to five
bushels per acre. with barley running
about seven and oats from II bushels
up. The rye crop is poor averaging
from two bushels per acre up. All
small grain crops are spotted the same
as wheat.
Threshing is quite general north of
Bismarck. Yields around Wilton will
probably avreage five to seven bushels
per acre. The yields from Wilton to
Max fluctuate from four bushels to
nine, though some fields report yields
of 10 bushels and over. The major
ity, however, is under six bushels.

HOOVER DECLINES
TO APPEAR BEFORE
DETROIT PR0BERS
Former President Says He Can
Shed No New Light on
Michigan Banks

Palo Alto, Calf, Aug. 23.-tR-
Having announced that his knowledge
Of the Detroit banking situation last
winter would not warrant his going
there now to appear before investi-
gators of the financial collapse in the
Michigan city, former President Her.
bert Hoover retired Wednesday to the
privacy of his Stanford University
campus home.
Hoover had been requested by
Prosecutor Harry s. Toy of Detroit to
appear as witness at the investiga-
ton there into the closing of the First
National Bank-Detroit and the Guar
dian National Bank of Commerce.
Press dispatches telling OF the re-
quest were shown to the former presl-
dent, who Tuesday sent telegram In
reply, explaining his position.
Seeks Government Data
The information sought by the De-
troit investigator concerned the atti-
tude of administrative agencies of the
federal government toward the two
closed Detroit banks previous to
March 4, 1888, during the Hoover in
cumbency, Toy suggested the former
president might have in his possession
certain facts" that might render his
testimony as witness highly sig
nificant and essential to a thorough
and true presentation of the reason
underlying closing of Detroits banks. "
Il have no objection to furnishing
such information which I properly
can," Hoover replied, "but such in
formation as I can give is only gen.
eral and is mostly second hand. and
is insufficient to warrant a journey
to Detroit"
He suggested the investigators ap-
proach the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, the federal reserve and
treasury officials at Washington,
where, he said, he was certain infor-
nation could be obtained.

MURDER DISCLOSED
WITHDISCOVERY OF
Ohio EDITORS BODY
Officials Seek Information on
Newspaperman's Disap-
pearance and Death

Coshocton, O., Aug. 23.-(F)-Bound
and weighed down with a hammer, a
plow-point and lead slugs, the body
Of Fred s. Wallace, 81, missing news
paper publisher, was found in the
Muskingum river two miles from here
last night.
DR.. F. w. Craig, county coroner, i'm
mediately took charge of the body.
He withheld his verdict, while prose-
cutor Russell E. Lyons began a study
Of the publishers disappearance three
days ago and the circumstances of
his death.
Wallace, who was publisher and
editor of the Coshocton Tribune. was
last seen alive when he left the news
paper office early Sunday morning,
apparently to walk to his home, one
block away.
For two days his family feared he
had suffered lapse of memory due
to an illness for which he had been
under treatment. Tuesday his son
asked authorities to make a state
wide search for his father.
Two young men camping along the
river found the body on the edge of
the stream. The head bore cuts over
the right eye and the right ear. His
ankles we're bound with baling wire,
a plow-point was fastened to his
clothing, and hammer had been
stuck in his belt.
Employees at the Coshocton Tribune
office reported finding Wallace's bill
fold and other valuables there and
this caused officials to ponder the pos
sibility of suicide.

TENTATIVE PLAN IS
UNDER SCRUTINY BY.
GROUP AT CAPITOL
Officials Believe Con 5 u m er
Would Have to Pay Cent
a Quart More
SEE blanket AGREEMENT
Senarate Codes For Milk Sheds
Would Be Adjusted to
Meet Conditions

washineton, Aug. 23.-(R-The gov
ernment is about to fix the price paid
for milk that Is set on nearly every
doorsill or porch in the country.
The plan so far Is just terlta-
tive as to details and Is being written
BY farm administration officials and
dairymen. At most, the officials feel,
the result should be an average IN
crease in cost to the consumer OF one
cent quart.
For the country as whole. there
would be q central blanket agreement,
covering all fluid milk and outlining
policies and fair trade practices. Codes
then would be drawn for each milk
shed, each area producing and con-
suming its own milk. These would tix
the farm, wholesale and retail prices
of milk.
If majority Of fluid milk producers
and handlers accepted the blanket
agreement, 1t and its supplementary
codes would be effective on all.
Individual areas, however, which
held price adjustments necessary be-
cause of special conditions, would be
allowed appeals.
If their appeals were convincing,
the prices could be changed.
Also included in the plan Is the idea
OF limiting to or 6 cents the dif-
ference between what the COW owner
gets for his milk and what the drink
er pays for 1t, thus restricting the
middleman's profit, the spread"
There is, likewise, plan for con-
trolling the amount Of milk produced
and sold.
This would permit local commit
tees to fix total production in milk
shed areas, allocating that total
among various herds.
The farm administration Is striv-
Ing to have this plan ready within two
weeks.

rounding Countryside

A unified state program for COOP
Grating with the national recovery ad-
ninistration was outlined at a meet
ing here Tuesday Of representatives OF
chambers of commerce, commercial
clubs, and the Greater North Dakota
association.
Means Of bringing hundreds of
worthy water conservation projects
before the state advisory board Of the
public works administration were dis
cussed by representatives Of munich
palities.
1t was conceded that some cities
had outgrown their equipment in
school and public buildings and that
the public works program afforded an
excellent opportunity for replacing
such facilities.
Commercial secretaries took the
position, however, that cities not in
dire need Of public buildings should
attempt to produce water conserva-
ton and utilization projects within
their trade territories which would
enable them to share adequately in
the program.
Lists of potential conservation and
utilization projects within the state
were presented, the length of the lists
indicating an almost unlimited field
for this type of development within
the state.
Testifying in behalf of North Da-
kota's urgent need for water were sew
eral engineers, including E. F. Chand.
Ter and H. E. Simpson, both Of the
state university; state engineer r. E
Kennedy, and A. D. McKinnon of the

SMALL SH0PKEEPERS
ARE CHARGED With
Disturbing TRADE
Chicago Says Merchants With
Small investments Are
Undermining Business

Washington, Aug. 23.-(P)-F1ailing
again into the heap of reaail problems
in an effort to thresh out a COM
petitive agreement that would fit the
retail stores of the land, the recovery
administration received a charge
Wednesday that the small storekeep-
ers were furnishing a bad competi-
tive influence.
A. Lincoln Wisler, representing a
Chicago retail association, said mer-
chants with investments of $4OO or
less were undermining business in
every neighborhood. He said there
were 425,00O of these.
Other testimony called for the same
working hours for stores selling the
same types Of merchandise. Drug
stores that handle a variegated as
sortment of hardware or clothing were
particularly assailed. They are seek
ing longer working hours than the a
set in the retail code.
Asks 3O-Rour Week
A 30-hour week was called for by
I. Teetlebaum Of the New York Re.
tail Furniture association. He said
the business that would be gained
through re-employment and greater
purchasing power would meet the
added costs of operation.
Recovery officials also were set to
dig into code for the womens dress
industry, newly drafted in New York
by Grover Whalen, the arbiter who
brought together warning factions in
that trade to compose a strike.
Also under consideration was an en-
terprise of Administrator Hugh s.
Johnson to loosen, through the fed
eral reserve and the Reconstruction
Corporation, the commercial bank
credit necessary to finance higher
overhead which factories, plants and
stores are assuming under NEsA COM
pacts. Fresh credit has not yet be-
come available, he said Tuesday,
but he Is confident that break will
be made.
Overnight, the administration acted
to keep local blue eagle drive commit
tees from assuming authority to re-
move blue eagle posters from win
dows of merchants violating terms of
the voluntary agreement.
No Local Authority
Thomas s. Hammond, director of
the campaign, issued a statement that
local groups have not the power but
are invited to try to get the violator
to mend his ways voluntarily. If he
refuses. the question must be referred
to Washington.
Hammond also denounced persecu-
ton Of merchants who operate their
stores long hours. pointing out that
local agreements to limit store hours
are contrary to the NRA purpose,
which Is to make more employment
by cutting workers hours and hiring
more people to round out the remain
ing time.
The retail store issue uppermost as
hearings were reconvened on the
agreement embracing all but food and
drug dealers, was the need for work.

tect, on a competitive basis, small es-
