June Rain BelOlv Normal.
But CiueS First Relief
Figures Show Bismarck One Of
Spots to Get Excess
Precipitation

Though precipitation in North Da-
kota for June was below normal at
three -fifths of the Is reporting sta
tons, the month brought the first
real relief from The long drouth, a
compilation by o. w. Roberts, feder-
al meterologist here, showed Friday.
The rainfall was considerably more
than in May.
In June. 10 stations recorded pre-
cipitation in excess of normal, one re-
ceived exactly normal and Is reported
less than normal. However, only
five stations recorded in excess of one
inch below normal for the month
while the previous month all % sta
tons recorded rain below normal,
ranging from one inch to Est inches
below.
Bismarck received $3.50 inches dur
ing June, or % Of an inch above nor
NAL though the deficiency for the
year still totals 1896 inches.
Figures for the last five and one
half years show that recordings at
26 weather stations are below normal
in all but one case-Bowman, where
nearly IL inches Of rainfall has been
received In excess Of the normal. At
the other extreme, Fargo-M oorhead
shows q deficiency Of more than II
inches ST. ce January l, 1929.
Bowman and Beach were the only
two Of % weather stations which
showed above normal precipitation
for the previous five years and four
months when the planting season
started in May Of this year. May
brought q protracted drouth and every
station reported less than normal
rains, and June saw the drouth broken
even though at ten stations it did not
bring precipitation above normal for
the month.
Roberts table shows: June rain,
departure from normal for month Of
June, and departure from normal for
last five and one half years, in inches.

Washington, July 6.1R-Another
indication the farm administration

came Friday to the office Of Senator
Frazier, (Rep., N. d..
Frank "A. Theis, chief Of the AAA
grain section, informed Fraxier's
secretary, the tax was definitely UNI
der consideration" and an announce
ment would be made in the near fu-
ture. Theis indicated the announce
1nent might be made by August /.
Theis corroborated previous word
received by Frazier from Secretary
Wallace that rye and flax probably
would be included In the taxing pro-
gram along with wheat, cotton, to-
bacco, rice and corn. Authority for
fixing such q tax was In the Frazier
amendment to the farm act 4ncluding
rye, flax and barley among the basic
commodities.
Theis said the tax would be paid on
this years crop. Department Of agri-
culture figures Of June I estimated
the rye crop ct 1880, 900 bushels. No
figures were given for the estimated
flax yield, but the annual average
crop is approximately $4,000. 900 BUSH
els.
Theis indicated the tax on rye
would be about 80 cents . btlshel and
on flax about so cents. This would
net rye producing farmers about 81
1000 on their 1894 crop.
50 Gents ON Flax
A tax Of so cents on flax would net
about $4,000, 900. based on the five
year average yield.
North Dakota and Minnesota lead
all other states in production Of both
grains. with North Dakota raising
about one third Of the annual rye out
put and almost one half Of the flax.
Frazier's office said barley probably
would not be taxed inasmuch Is tho
great bulk of the annual output Is
used for feed and Is not processed.
In urging Q tax on rye and flax,
Frazier said he saw no reason Why
growers Of these grains should be dis
eliminated against inasmuch Is pro-
cessing taxes had beeh established for
practically all other basic commodi-
ties. He commended the south. had
been the chief beneficiary thus far

Among the multiplying signs that
economic recovery Is actually in pro-
gress Is the fact that accounts In New
York state savings banks were, at
the beginning Of October, 145,0oo
greater in number than they were
q year ago.
These figures come from the Saw
ings Banks Association Of the State

600 0o0-an increase Of $65. 900 900 in

A Better Year Ahead
(MinneapoliS Trihunel

After more than q decade Of de-
|pression the agricultural industry can
find considerable reason for satisfac-
tton in the favorable estimate Of its
prospects for the coming year made
BY the bureau Of agricultural econo-
mics. The industry has already had
tangible evidence Of Improvement In
the present year In which farm In
come IS higher than It has been In
the years Immediately preceding, and
that despite the most disastrous
drouth In more than . generation.
The promise Of higher food prices
and m Improvement In the purchas-
ing power Of farm families for 1885 is
based on . careful survey Of the whole
agricultural picture by the bureau.
It also looked for better purchasing
power for consumers, 1t least during
the first half Of the year. and predicate
ed continuance Of the improvement
upon the extent to which the durable
goods industries recovered In the
coming year. In general the bureau
felt that supplies would be consider
ably reduced. demand would be i'm
proved, production would be higher
next year than 1t was In 1894 and
that there would be an Improvement
IN farm purchasing power.
In the case Of wheat the bureau
predicts that the country win once
more be producing the commodity on
IN export basis. In the field Of for
eign trade, however. little opportunity
for Improvement was seen. Recovery
and Its maintenance viii thus depend
almost entirely ON domestic conditions
IN the immediate future. The string
ent trade restrictions imposed by Ger
many on Ill imports. the probable de-
llatton Of the franc, the uncertainties
affecting Chinese exchange and the
restrictive influence Of bilateral trade
agreements between foreign countries
are calculated by the bureau to keep
foreign demand ct . low level.
| That this view Is substantially ac-
curate everything would seem to In
dictate. Some progress Is being made
With the reciprocal tariff treaty pro-
gram. but % far Cuba Is about the
only nation with which Z definite
treaty has been negotiated. How
much can be gained for agriculture
through this program remains q de-
batable question. at least Is far Is
the immediate future Is concerned
From this point Of view the solution
Of the problem Of our debated foreign
markets and 81 suiting our produce
ton to meet the realities Of the I'm
mediate situation has not been found
