OWING to adverse climatic con-
ditioas, there is a great deal of
poor, damp and unmatured seed in
the state this year, and it is of the
utmost importance to farmers to
test their seed before sowing time
comes. Poor seed produces poor
crop. 1t takes no more labor or
expense to care for an acre of
ground sown to good seed than it
does to poor. The object in test
ing seed is to ascertain the pre-
centage of termination and pro-
ductiveness. A sample of wheat
was sent to the editor of the
Larimore Leader on December LIST
for testing, and the test of this par
ticular sample has proved very in
teresting. About Is per cent OF
the sample consisted of sprouted
wheat; Is per cent affected by
dampness and so per cent good
seed. The sprouted was separated

suspicion regarding the correct
ness of the census enumeration
returns of Bismarck, which on
their face give it a standing, as
third city in size Of population in
North Dakota, The gain is a
remarkable one ard according to
her thrifty enumerators, 1919
population, or 466 more people
than jamestown, and gain of
l,133 over the 1890 census. Any
one who makes a comparison
between Bismarck and the other
towns Of the state, from actual
observation will be forced to the
conclusion that the penltentlary,

structlon men, to say nothing of

must have been exhausted to get
the above result. But it is in line

WHEAT STOCKS.

notwithstanding the indifferent
wheat crop Of last harvest all over
the stock on hand continues to
increase, though not, of course, to
the same extent as in years of
average good harvests. Accord
ing to Bradstreet's the wheat
stock of the United States and
Canada increased during last
month, November, to the extent Of
4,427,OOO bushels. The increase
in November, 1899. was 7,O85,0OO.
There is therefore considerable
falling off in the relative increase,
though MT to the extent that was
probably anticipated by the wheat
growers Of this continent. In
Europe the supply appears to be
weakening, and as the bulk of the
crop of last harvest is marketed,
it is probable that stocks will show
a considerable reduction before
another harvest. Cash wheat in
New York is 6 cents higher than
at this time last year, and there is
general expectation of a futher
advance in price. Bradstreet's
estimates the worlds wheat supply
on LIST December current at l70,-
348,000 bushels, against l66, 1885,
600 bushels year ago, showing
an increase of only 3,983,00O
bushels up to date mentioned.
This may be taken to indicate a
considerable. decrease before
another crop can be marketed in
the northern hemisphere.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.

After our colonial problem has
been banded about in the market
place, in the public press and in
the halls of congress. having been
misrepresented, miscons t I u C tie d
and exploited for political purposes
all the time, it is now in the hands
Of a tribunal which will have far
more to do with directing it's flu
ture course than ever the people
or their representatives at Wash
ington have so far had. 1t all
depends upon what the constitu-
ton is. Politicians have said that
it was this, that and the other
thing. In the end the constitution
is what the supreme court says it
is. 1t is almost unreasonable to
hope that the court will decide the
question entirely independent of
what has recently transpired in
politics. 1t would probably be
beyond the power Of any nine men
living to consider solely what the
constitution provides, banishing
from their minds every consider
alton of what, in their conception,
it should provide. Yet it is high
ly improbable that a single men,
Der of the court will be Influenced
in the slightest degree by any
political reason he is conscious of.
We can be happy, then, chat the
construction of the American state
provides so excellent a method of
determining what our constitution
is as our supreme court.
