HOT Winds KILLING
LITTLE FEED LEFT
IN north DAKOTA
Situation Becoming Steadily
More Acute, Says FERA
Feed Distributor
CORN IS BADLY STUNTED
Farmers Forces TO Cut Stand
To Conserve What Silage
Remains
CORN IS BADLY sTUNTED

Hot, dry winds, blowing across the
plains of North Dakota have destroyed
virtually three-quarters Of roughage
within the state, creating q deeply
serious problem Of feeding livestock
during the coming winter. federal re-
lief officials said Saturday.
In the past 10 days. according to
G. M. Banks, assistant state feed dis
tributor for the FERA, the state pic
ture Of available feed has become
acute.
Corn has been stunted by continued
drouth, forcing farmers to cut the
stand in an effort to conserve what
little green silage remains. Leaves left
on stands in the fields have withered
and been blown away by the wind.
Several hundred thousand tons Of
feed will be shipped into the state
by federal authorities, to meet the
need during the winter, E. A. Wilson.
state federal relief administrator,
said.
Only one section of the state Is
expected to produce q fair crop Of
roughage, according to Banks, in the
north and central eastern portions.
Southeastern portions had been par
ticularly hard hit, with the remainder
Of the state expected to produce little.
Rain Is expected to aid the millet
crop in the Slope area, If it comes this
week, Banks said. He doubted III
much corn will be available"
Major Blow to Stockmen
He termed the crop situation q
major blow to the livestock industry
in North Dakota"
"A week or ten days ago many
had fields Of corn which would have
given an abundance Of roughage,"
Banks said. AT the present time the
corn Is so badly stunted, 1t is being
cut now to conserve what little green
stuff Is in it.
Corn Is burning up and is going
faster all the time" was wilson's re-
port. hot winds have taken sub-soil
moisture. Conditions have been bad
and are getting worse all the time"
As farmers and others exhaust their
resources much Of which has been
received from cattle purchasing and
wheat allotment program Of the gov
eminent, . gradual increase is noted
in the number on relief, Wilson said.
An extensive grain-feed program
has been planned for this winter by
the relief administration. Farmers
have been placed on water conserva-
ton projects throughout the state.
Fifty three dam projects have been
approved. The administration Is
rushing the work to completion be-
fore freezing weather sets In.
Work thus provided for farmers OF
various communities IS expected to aid
them in obtaining grain feed which
will be sold to the farmer on cash
basis. The grain Is being sold by the
government, Wilson said. to local feed
dealers, is being stored in elevators
from which the farmer can purchase
on q cash basis or with relief slips.
In the past week, shipment Of cattle
purchased by the government has
been materially cut down BY federal
order, from 5000 to 1000 per day.
Wilson explained this order Wa
necessary because conditions are get
ting worse In other states and We have
been the heaviest shippers"

pickets, two Of them wounded, were
scattered by gunfire Saturday in
another outbreak Of violence as fed
eral mediators work determinedly to
settle the 19-day truck drivers strike
peaceably.
Unaware Of the single blast Of buck
shot from Leo Holscher,S shotgun
with which he drove off 20 strikers
attacking his ice cream truck In the
downtown district, the Rev. Francis
Haas said mediatoys were seeking to
draw the strikers closer to the en-
ployers' peace terms. HolScher was
not held.
Troops in trucks piled the streets
again during the outburst three blocks
from guard headquarters. Earl Col
lins and George Schirts, with minor
wounds, were treated at hospital
after they and Is companions had
smashed windows In the truck with
bricks. ripped out ignition wires, and
scattered ice cream containers.
Father Haas and E. H. Dunnigan
federal mediators, reiterated their
hopes Of settlement despite the re-
lection Saturday by strike leaders OF
the employers advisory committees
proposed agreement and the central
labor union mediation committee, an
nouncement today in supporting
strikers by demanding settlement on
the basis Of the HaaS-Dunnigan pro-
posal. This the employers rejected.
Meanwhile, six pickets arrested
during the recent guerrilla warfare on
moving trucks the last few days, were
sentenced to up to 80 days at hard

Dr. Du Bois brought with him the

The early days of the association,

desire to reaffirm the principles to-
ward the Negro race which Lincoln
had laid down in his emancipation
proclamation. During the Summer OF
1908 newspapers were filled with ac-
counts of race riots in Springfield.

In January, 1900, Georgia passed a

and thereby followed in the path of
other Southern States The United
States Supreme Court had repeatedly
refused to pass upon the constitu-

there were respectively 90 and IS
