ESTIMATES OF corn,
FLAX, And POTATO
YIELDS UNCHANGED
Federal Report Points to Corn
Production Of 17,eo4,-
600 Bushels

Fargo. N. D., Nov. l6.-Corn, flax
and potato production In North Da-
kota, Nov. l, based on preliminary
yield estimates, shows no change from
the Oct. forecast, according to the
report Of the federal agricultural
statistician at Fargo.
The indicated production Of corn Is
l7,804. 900 bushels compared to $780,
900 bushels harvested in 1895. when
drouth reduced the crop to the lowest
point on record. The five-year aver
age production Is 1882. 900 bushels.
The preliminary yield per acre estt-
mate on the acreage indicated for
harvest in July is 1865 bushels. but
yields Of corn for grain In excess Of
80 bushels are reported for some Of
the eastern districts. A larger pro-
portion than average Of the corn acre
age In the districts outside Of the
drouth areas produced grain, due to
very favorable growing weather dur
hig July and August.
Some excellent yields Of flax were
obtained In northeastern counties
running as high as Is bushels per acre
but due to excessive damage from
drouth and grasshoppers In the area
outside Of the valley counties, the av-
erage per acre yield Is only ~ bushels.
The total indicated production Of flax
on Nov. Is 2.l10.O00 bushels COM
pared to the low figure Of 55l, 900
bushels in 1885. and to 100000 BUSH
els, the five-year average production.
Potatoes in Red River valley coun-
ties have produced uniformly high
yields. Average Yields in this area
are higher than In any recent years.
The average per acre yield for the
state Of o. bushels Is held down by the
low yields, or the complete loss Of
acreage In commercial districts.
Production is now indicated to be
ll.468,000 bushels compared to $780,
900 bushels produced year ago. and
to $50, 900 bushels the five-year av-
erage production.
Condition Of pastures increased
three points since Oct. !, due to the
heavy rains which occurred In the
northwestern counties.

WESTERN STOCKMEN
might Be ABLE TO
!. KEEP MORE ANIMALS
Open Weather Betters Outlook
in That Area, Says Fed
eral Report

Fargo, Nov. l6.-Cattle and sheep In
North Dakota are In good condition
and continue to Craze with moderate
open weather, according to the re-
ports made by livestock men to the
Federal Agricultural Statistician at
Fargo. Encouraged by open weather
stockmen In dry western areas may
be able to hold more animals than
they earlier anticipated.
The supply Of winter feeds IS re-
ported as sufficient In practically all
areas with exception Of the extreme
northwest drouth counties. A consid-
erable amount Of thistle hay has
been stacked In western counties
which with straw, millet and corn
fodder will be used. This roughage
will be used extensively but con-
siderable amount Of feed grains will
have to be shipped In to western areas
where efforts are being made to hold
the animals now on hand.
The prices paid for both hay and
grain feeds have decreased somewhat
from month ago but the poor finan-
ctal situation resulting from crop
failure will make 1t difficult for
stockmen to purchase the desired
amount Of feed.
Favorable livestock prices have in
duced marketings in dry areas which
otherwise would be held had there
been more abundant harvest of
cash crops. Livestock numbers In the
Missouri slope country which have
been reduced greatly by extreme
drouth In the past several years are
expected to show slight increase
during the next few months.
The supply Of roughage in this part
OF the state Is reported greater than
for several years. AS q result Of ex-
tremely light rainfall during Octo-

to r. of two more club tricks. This
could mean but one thing-East held
a re-entry, which could be only the
missing diamond king.
Mr. Urls now saw no point In
flnessing diamonds, so he led small and
went right up with the ace. Declarer
then ran of nine tricks, which gave
him top score.
We think East's psychology was very
poor and that he gave away the fact
that he held the king as diamonds az
surely as If he had exposed his hand.
Had East simply returned his fourth
club his partner would have subse-
quently led heart and Mr.. Urls
would then surely have flnessed for
the king of diamonds and been set q
great many tricks.

ADVERTISING IN
 UNITED STATES
Third World Congress Held in Paris Hears Some
 of Opinions

Paris, July 8-(UP)-Edwin s. Friendly, business manager of the New York Sun, and c. Raymond Schaeffer, publicity manager for Marshall Field & Co, Chicago, addressed the third world advertis. ing congress todd yon retail adver- tising in the United States.
 Friendly made the point that newspapers wree the greatest single factor in developing retail sales.
 "The fact that retail advertising in the United States rises and falls sympa .netically with retail sales volume is clear cut proof of its es- sential service, vital to business dis tribution," he said. Tt is not un- common for store heads and execu. tives to base so much of their plans and commitments on the selling power of one newspaper or group of newspapers"
 Misrepresentation
 Schaeffer, commenting on retail advertising technique, said that bet- ter business bureaus had aided in curbing misrepresentation in adver- Using.
 Far seeing retailers have come to see that the advertising appeal of an honest message would meet an increasing number of doubting eyes unless they joined with others in the community to curb misrepre- sentation. They recognize that al- though most people are bundles of emotion the level of intelligence is steadily mounting and that the American people resent having their common sense insulted by paipable advertising fraud"
