Disregarding the foreign charees
that the scheme Is discriminatory and

assume early possession Of extensive
marketing installations made in Man
chukuo by the Standard Oil company
Of New York and the British Asiatic
Petroleum company, reliable sources
said.
They are to be eliminated from
profitable distributing and retailing
businesses built up during recent
decades.
Both companies received from the
Manchukuo ministry Of finance no.
tification that the monopoly Will be
instituted I'm the very near future"
and that in al probability the pres
ent marketing and selling system will
be greatly changed"
Officials OF the companies were In
structed to report on their imports

1882. where their agents are located
and the size Of their businesses, and
finally all property. with its cost, dates
Of erection and other details with .

Single Contribution to N. D,
Agriculture Highly vaIua-
bic to Farmers

Fargo, N. D., Nov. DIR. L. r.
Waldron's contribution OF Ceres
wheat to North Dakota and the world
has won for this eminent plant
breeder the acclaim Of farmers and
scientists far and near. Statements
have often been made that this single
contribution to the agriculture of
North Dakota. has brought more dol
lars to the wheat growers Of the state
than Is represented by the entire In
vestment Of all the educational insti-
tutions within the commonwealth.
The history Of the discovery Of
Ceres wheat reads like fairy book.
In the year OF 1902 Henry Luke Bolley
made q trip to Russia In search Of
better flax. and among his collections
he included . hard red spring wheat.
Some years later Waldron made the
discovery that the Russian spring
wheat was resistant to rust. Crossing
It with Marquis, which was the domi-
nant variety Of the Northwest, he
produced Ceres wheat ct the second
generation. Ceres has proven to be
drouth, smut and rust resistant, and
even resistent to grasshoppers. It Is
Of high quality, ranking along with
Marquis. Ceres went to the variety
trials In 1923 and was distributed IN
1926.
Reared on q Michigan farm, Mr..
Waldron later moved to North Dakota
and graduated in 1899 from the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
As student az the NDAC he showed
special aptitude In plant work under
Bolley as he classified the large COL
lection Of North Dakota plants made
In 81, ~ and 80. AS co-author with
Bolley. Waldron published The
Towering Plants Of North Dakota.
From 1908 to 1915 he directed the
Dickinson substation. and has been at
the NDAC since 1916 except for leaves
OF absence to do advanced work at
Michigan and Cornell Universities.
He received hts Pho. from Cornell In
1928.
DR.. Waldron has to his credit q long
list Of publications and scientific
writing over the past 80 years. The
first independent bulletin to his
credit, entitled Noxius Weeds and
How to Kill Them, was published In
1908.
In recognition OF his achievements
In plant breeding and other scientific
studies, DR.. Waldron was recently
elected to the Linnean Society Of
London.
At present he Is working on the
development Of another new variety
Of wheat, paying particular attention
to bringing out . wheat resistant to
frost and drouth.
