Wheat Moving; Northern
Areas Ignore Decree

The effect Of North Dakota's en-
barge was felt Wednesday in some
parts OF North Dakota as railroads
reported wheat shipments at stand
still.
In other sections. however, where
the carriers continued to ignore Gov
ernor William Langer's ban, nor
NAL amount Of wheat was being
shipped.
Reports from railroad officials in
dicated the governors orders to sher-
IFS to prevent elevators from accept
ing wheat for shipment outside the
states borders was taking effect.
Sheriffs were busy instructing ele-
vator men to desist from accepting
wheat for transportation, and so far
no instances have been reported
where elevators have refused 10 COM
ply with the order. Many expressed
Willingness to cooperate with the
peace officers.
National Guardsmen, Governor
LANCER informed the sheriffs. stand
ready to assist them. The railroads,
however, remain unmolested in their
Gals taking the view that Interior
ence with the carriers may be in vio-
lation Of the interstate commerce
act.
The governor seeks complete tie
up of wheat shipments in an effort to
boost prices. He said he was deter
mined no wheat shall move out of the
state until satisfactory prices are
forthcoming.
Northern Pacific Is Quiet

ported nothing moving" as far as

has been offered for shipment out Of
the state in the last few days.

dan reported no wheat has moved out
OF that city since the embargo was
declared. but said that probably was
due to sufficient space being avail

tice has been to ship wheat when
elevators became crowded.

PARTIAL VICTORY IS
SCORED BY CARRIER
IN Case AT FARGO
Reduction for TWo.Year Period
Is $127,000; 1921 900
Cut Was Asked
COURT RULES FROM BENCH
Combines All Factors Urged by
Plaintiff and Defense in
Decision

Fargo, Oct. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
approximately Is per cent In It's 1881
tax assessment and IL per cent In its
1882 assessment were granted the 500
Line railroad In federal court Wed.
nesday by Judge Andrew Miller.
The case ended abruptly after the
state completed presentation OF its
comparatively brief testimony and ex-
hibits.
The reductions will amount to ap-
proximately $4,000 in the 1881 tax
and $4,000 in the 1882 tax or q total
Of $l27,OO0.
The judges decision, while it was a
victory for the railroad which has
been in court approximately 18
months seeking relief, also was q par
tial victory for the state.
The roads 1891 tax amounted to
100000 of which 1t sought decrease
of approximately $4,000 and the
1882 tax was $425,o00 Of which q de-
crease Of $4,000 was asked.
The total tax involved in the two
cases amounted to 81, O35, 600 and to-
tel reduction sought was 1921 900 COM
pared with $127, 900 reduction granted
by the court.
In reaching his decision, which was
announced from the bench. Judge
Miller used three factors In allocating
the value of the 500 Lines property IN
North Dakota they were: Gross oper-
ating revenue over five year period,
car and locomotive mileage and ten
and passenger mileage.
Combines All Factors
A combination of factors testified
to by witnesses both for the railroad
and the state was used In arriving
at his decision. It was determined
that of the 500 Line system, l7.066 per
cent was in North Dakota In 1891 and
l7O3066 per cent was in the state In
1882.
In making his decision Judge Mill
er stated that this case does not es-
tablisl1 q rule which applies In the
cases of other railroads. He said the
factors In the 500 Line case are not
as those which might apply In the
case of other railroads.
The 500 Line tax case has been be-
fore the federal court since the
spring OF 1882 when 1t brought its
first action to have Is per cent Of its
tax set aside. The road and the state
entered into stipulation whereby the
road paid Is per cent Of its tax and
held the balance In allegiance pend
ing outcome Of the suit. Judge Miller
issued restraining order preventing
state and county officials charged
with collection Of taxes from placing
the unpaid portion upon the delin-
quent tax rolls.
In the 1882 case the railroad sought
to pay 70 per cent of its tax but this
was not done because the state board
of equalization refused to permit &C
ceptance Of that portion by county
treasurers. Attorneys for both sides
indicated there was little likelihood
of an appeal.

Choice for Wheat Allot-
ment Basis ''s... 81

A letter explaining the modified
county average plan in the wheat al
lotment- acreage reduction program
Wednesday was sent to all applicants
for allotment contracts In Burleigfl
county by H. o. Putnam. county ag-
ricultural agent.
The mooiiied average plan was
adopted for the county last Saturday
at a meeting of the county board OF
the wheat production control associ-
iation.
Farmers who do not prefer the
modified county yield basis to their
actual production basis are instructed
to notify Putnam Of the fact before
Nov. l.
Putnam,s letter follows:
Il. All applicants without evidence
as to production on their own land
will be given the modified county av-
erage yield Oil their own year aver
age wheat acreage.
y. Applicants who have furnished
evidence of production for q 3 year
period may ask for their own aver
age production.
IS. Applicants who have furnished
evidence of production for I year
period may ask for their own year
average production provided that they
show that the year average would
not be fair to them due to regular
VsAk a Is-f0
and corn every other year.
Il. Applicants with evidence Of
production may ask for their own 5
year average production provided that
they can show that the year aver
age would not be fair to them due to
hail. drought. or grasshcppers In one
or more of the 3 years.
Examination Of the data on appli-
cations by the Board Of Directors in
dicates that:
Il. Applicants who have evidence
for years will likely receive larger
allotment II they use their own 3 year
average only when the average yield
per acre on their own land for the
years is over bu. per acre. II
the yield Is below Z bu. per acre the
modified county yield will likely b
best.
-. Applicants with evidence quail
flying for the 4 year average produc-
ton on their own land will likely re.
ceive a larger allotment when they USE
their own I year average production
when the average 1 year yield on theil
own land Is over bushels per acre
The I year average can only be sccur.
ed when q I year rotation is practicec

for Economy

With several hundred exhibits al
ready having arrived, North Dakota,s
18th annual stale corn show will
open at the World War Memorial
building here Thursday morning and
continue through Saturday.
Workmen Wednesday were busy
setting up racks and arranging the
entries Of maize on them. The rac,ss
are located In the central part Of
the huge auditorium Of the memo
rial building. \
Around the borders Of the audito-
rum will be booths erected by busi-
ness firms for display Of their prod
ucts and other exhibits.
Judging in the various classifica-
tons Of corn, as we'll as alfalfa and
sweet clover, will get under way
Thursday forenoon under the direc-
ton Of DR.. H. L. Walster. dean Of ag-
rculture at North Dakota State COL
lege.
Thursday and Friday evenings the
Bismarck juvenile band, under the
direction Of Clarion +. Larson. viii
present concerts at o'clock for the
entertainment of visitors.
Visitors From 8 10 3
Visitors are invited to view the ex-
hibits from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. daily,
it is announced by H. p. Goddard,
show secretary.
Cash prizes, ranging from 81 to
Sl2. with as many as five exhibitors
getting money In one lot, are offered
BY the show. 7sss
Exhibits are Of dent, semi-dent,

well as a series Of feature classified
lions. Single and lO-ear exhibits and
bundle. stalk and silage entries are
being accepted.
The county winning the most dol
lars In prize money will be sdjudged
state champion and will receive the
state championship trophy, which
must be won three years for pcrma-
nent possession.
Last year EmmonS county won the
cup for the third successive year and
this season is back In the running
for championship honors again.
Economy Is Necessary
Necessity for economy this year has
necessitated abandonment of usual
entertainment and banquet features
as we'll as the division Of the state
into two or more areas.
Consequently all entries in each
class will be judged together. Owing,
however, to the poor crops in some
of the best corn districts, there should
be plenty OF chance for good corn
from any section Of the state and
the more northerly or higher sections
are never handicapped In the early
flint and even semi-dent contests,
Goddard said.
Staging of the show this year, IN
view Of reduced state tax receipts,
has been made possible through the
ready response to requests for sup
port by Bismarcks public-spirited
citizens. the secretary said.
All corn entered in the show must
be Of the 1888 crop, grown In North
Dakota by the exhibitor and entered
under the growers name.
