Moorhead News: The inquiry is
made: "Why do farmers thresh
oats?" Let us look at at it from the
practical business standpoint. The
average crop of oats raised in Mime
sofa is 80 bushels per acre and the
average price is 20 cents per bushel,
which yields $500 per acre gross.
The farmer in this section OF the
state raises oats primarily for feeding
to his stock. It is obvious that he
don't raise them for shipment to o
distant market as that course would
not pay. Why not, then, feed the
oats in the straw, and save the ex-
pense of threshing? Should the
farmer have oats to sell, why not
bring them to market in the straw !?
An acre of oats produces unthEeshed
three tons of straw on the average.
We are told that oats in that form
this year would readily sell at $500
per ton. IF this is SO the average
crop will produce $24.0O per acre in
stead of $500 and the cost of thresh-
ing will be saved besides. We repeat
the inquiry: "Why thresh oats?"
Stevens county farmers, what do You
think of the above?.

1t was our intention to have visited

how long they had been in the coun-s:
ty, how much land they owned and
how much under cultivation and the
kind of crops raised, We had thought
that with this information and other
facts we could have learned about our
county, we could have written articles
for the TRIBUNE which would have
been, not only interesting to the
farmers, but to the community gen.
orally. But sickness upset the whole
arrangement. However, we may
have an "Indian summer" this fall,

THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE BUILDING.

Secretary WINDOWS selection of the Bowling
Green site for the new Custom House building
will meet with general approval. The city's
business is distributed over so wide an area
that to many a site further uptown would
naturally have seemed preferable. But one
half Of the large importing houses are still
south of Canal-st. and the union of all de-
partments Of the Custom House under one
great roof at Bowling Green will accommodate
larger number and give more general sat
isfaction than would be possible in any other
way. The Laight-st. location was not with
out advantages, but it would have prevented
this concentration; and the Dock Department
has deprived the West Eleventh-st. property
of its supposed waterfront facilities. Bowl
ing Green. on the other hand, is near the point
of conveyance of all the city railroads. and Is
almost the centre of the port of Newly ork.
The fact that so per cent of the duties col
lected on imported merchandise comes from
Brooklyn undoubtedly influenced Secretary
WINDOWS decision, and should be borne in
mind by those who cavil at his choice.
While the commercial interests of the city
Will thus be benefited the opportunity for
crowning work of architecture is unrivalled.
less than twenty years ago lower Broadway
has been practically rebuilt. There are now
more imposing buildings between the City Hall
and the Battery than in any similar business
area in any part of the world. The clearing
away of the group of mean structures below
Bowling Green and the erection in their stead
of an editce in every way worthy of the site
would complete the final adornment of the
principal avenue Of this metropolis; and if the
plans Of the Treasury Department are fulfilled,
visitors to the Worlds Fair in 1892 are likely
to see the beginnings of an architectural mon
ument the like of which is not to be found in
this hemisphere. The area to be covered en-
braces more than 1873, 600 feet The 50 ,650-
600 already appropriated for the work Of
course represents but fraction of the ultimate
total cost. But the generosity Of Congress may
be relied on, and will be discreetIy applied.
The present Custom House in Wall-st.,
whose familiar Ionic portico has so long
adorned the local guide-bools, was originally
built for merchants exchange. 1t cost with
its ground, S1,800,OOO, and the proceeds of
its sale, under the present conditions Of APP
preciated values, would help materially to de-
fray the cost Of the new building. Although
at one time admirably adapted to its present
use, it has long been inadequate to the grow
ing needs Of the port. 1t is filed during bust
ness hours with an anxious jOStling crowd,
whose time and money are wasted from sheer
want Of elbow-room; and while the fact may
not be ungratifying as showing the great in
crease in the yearly volume of the citys COM
MERGE, it is an mmStakable indication of The
necessity for spacious quarters in any building
erected to replace it.

THE CAR IND COPENHAGEN.

dispatch from Copenhagen states that there
are rumors of the arrival of large number OF
Nihilsts in Denmark. And it is added that in
consequence of these rumorS the authorities here
are taking extraordinary precautions for the pro-
lection of the Gar during his coming visit to
Copenhagen. as it is feared that an attempt upon
his life is intended" Now. there are Copen-

"FREsH FROM SCHOOLS AND co LLEGES.

An organization described as the Federation
of Republican Clubs of the Hid Congressional
District of Maryland, and said TO represent
twenty three associations, adopted the other
day the following resolution:
Resolved, That we, Republicans, pledge ourselves
not TO support any for Office either National State
or city, who is in favor Of the present odious Civil SER

relic OF European Governments is injurious 10 party
success, and not at all appropriate 10 republican
form of government and therefore should be repealed
1t is pity that any organization OF Repub-
leans, whatever its degree OF importance
should have adopted such resolution. 1t Is
sure TO be seized upon as sign of Republican
dissatisfaction with the Civil Service law
which, we believe, exists only to small ex-
tent, and that chiefly among officeSeekers and
their friends. 1t is also based upon erroneous
notions which a little investigation of the sub
ject would correct. We venture TO say that if
a COPY of the last report of the United States
Civil Service Commission had been in the
hands Of these persons when the resolution
was offered and there had been an opportunity
to examine it, Some of them would have re-
fused TO vote for it.
The statement that " the majority of appoint
ments are awarded to young men fresh from
sob oos and colleges is incorrect. The report
of the Commission shows the average age of
the competitors for examinations in the class
flied servicesduring the fiscal year ending June
80, 1888. Taking those that were successful.
the lowest average was of messengers in the
postal service, % years; the highest, special
printer, Acknowledgements Office. Al Years.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-09-14

The report says that Z" the bulk of those enter
ing the examinations for the different branches
Of the service are not boys and girls fresh from
school, but mature men and women, the ma
jority of them from ten to fifteen years away
from their school days.n The figures bear out
these statements. The average age OF those
who passed examinations fer positions IN the
customs service was as follows Uaugers'
clerks. storekeepers, ETC., 2o.4 years; uay IN
snoctors 31.2: examiners 30.5; gaugers, 36;
inspectresses 287 night inspectors, BIB;
oneners and packers, 32.5; samplers, 800 !;
yveicbeys and assistant weighers, 33.2 years.
Surely the average of all these classes was
long way from the school age.
Take the postal service, where the average
is low but still not near the school age. Inc
average age of those who succeeded IN the
examinations for clerks was "a years, and for
carriers 26.8 years. These men must have
been out of school number of years, for col
lece graduates do not usually apply Tor these
positions In the departmental SERVICE the
average age of those who passed In the exam
nation for clerks was 27.5 years; for book
kcepers. 3O.9; for medical examiner in the
Pension Office. 43 for special pension ex-
aminer. 1873; for copyists, q y; for the State
Department, 35.7.
These figures sufficiently prove that the sue
cessful candidates in the Civil Service exam
nations are too old on the average, to be fresh
from the schools and colleges, as the Balti-
more malcontents lave 1t. 1t is also true that
the proportion of college graduates is much
smaller than this same class are in the habit
of representing. For example, between jan
nary IS. 1885 and June 30, 1883, 28,735
nersons who claimed public school education
were examined for all branches Of the classified
service. The number of those examined dur
ing the same period who claimed college ed
ucation was only 4327, or a little more than
one-seventh the former number. Of those
having a public school education 1916 passed.
If we add to these those who had been ed
ucated in business colleges, the total passed is
1860. OF those who claimed a college ed
ucation 3.O29 passed. The number of the col
lege graduates who passed is seen therefore to
have been only one-sixth of those educated in
public schools and business colleges Most of
the popular misconceptions regarding the merit
system rest, like these, upon ignorance of its
actual workings

in tho afternoon. Then at the approach OF

there is danger of most annoying and embar-

Mr.. Bogart also affirmed that the transporta-

promptly. On this point he is undoubtedly
correct. single transshipment of exhibits

termining the action of the committee, though.
of course, it is only one consideration among
many.
