Nor are arguments needed to con-
vince every teacher Of the power of
organization in this day of combina-
ton and concentration"
In speaking of the tendency to or
ganize Miss Haley says that the need
has been felt and is rapidly growing
in the large cities. "But," she says,
teachers have been the last class to
organize effectively for the purpose of
bettering their material conditions.
One Of the greatest obstacles in the
way of such organization has been the
sentimental notion that teachers de-
grade themselves and their profession
by working individually or collectively
for mere material advancement
What is needed now is some demon
stration of the power of intelligent,
well-directed organized effort among
teachers to convince teachers and
others, not that organization is pro-
fessional. but that through organiza-
ton alone can teachers rid themselves
of the reactionary condition in and
out of the schoolroom which are
crushing out their lives, and those of
the children, and counteracting the
results Of their best Efforts"

FOOD AND THE sexes.

The male human needs more food

Of his larger stature, but also because

The man tends to eXpend energy and
the woman to store it up in the form

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
How We CROW.

How We GROW.
The agricultural interests of North
FDakOta are growing with giant
strides. Some very interesting data
6n this point is furnished in Census
Bulletin No. 1874 issued by the direc-
tor of the census, of which agricul-
ture in North Dakota is made a topic.
Numerous elaborate tables, giving q
vast amount of information in detail
insstatistical form and resume Is Civ
en- by y. G. Powers, chief-statistician
for agriculture. Some of the facts
deduced from the statistics are worth
careful attention. The farms in North
Dakota. in june 1901, numbered AS
332 and were valued Mt sos, 7s0, 700.
OF this amount $25,42S,43O represents
the value of the buildings and $173,-
352, 270.sthe value of the lands, giving
q total value Of farm property. Of
$255,266, ISL.
The total vnlue. of farm products
for 1899 was $64,252, 494, of which $780,
I'll ,677 or 15.9- percent represents the
value of animal products and $54,O4O,-
ISS17. or SAL per cent, the value Of
+ crops.
3; The statistics show that there were
in the entire territory of Dakota in
1860, 1913 farms with an aggregate OF
26;4S8 acres, of which but ais acres
altogether were improved. In 1870
there were in the territory 1,720
farms with 3O2,376 acres and 42.645
acres improved. Again in 1880 there
were in the territory 17,435 farms
with 3,SW656 acres, sof which. /, 1885,
413 acres were improved.
= In 1860 there We're in the territory
of Dakota ESQ dairy cows, SIS other
meat cattle, "a horses, 1913 sheep and
287 hogs. In 1870 the number of tlas
TRY COWS had increased to 4,l5l;, of
other meat cattle to s,316; horSesto
2,514; sheep 1901 and hogs to 2,0s3.
In 1880 the number of dairy cows was
40,572 in the territory; other meat
cattle 1OO,243; horses 41.67O; sheen
1924, hogs 63,394. In North Dakota
alone in 1890 the number of dairy
COWS had increased to $3.50; other
meat cattle to 193,5S5; horses to $780,.
931; sheep to 136,413, and hogs to 90,
213. In 1900 North Dakota had 1873.
sos dairy cows, 531, 931 other meat cat
tie; 359,948 horses, 451,437 sheep and
1911, 79S hogs.
1t will thus be seen that stock-rais-
ing forms very important part in
North Dakota. The number of do
nestle animals of all kinds in Dakota
territory increased between 1860 and
cattle were reported in 1900 in North
1870 from ten to thirty times.
Over three times as many dairy
Dakota as were reported by the terri
tory of Dakota in 1880. The number
reported in 1900 shows an. increase
of 42.2 per cent for the last decade,
while the gain in the number of other
meat cattle during the same time was
174.s. The number of horses was
nearly three times as great in 1000
as in 1890. The number of sheep in.
creased between 1890 and 1900 230.s

In the way of animal produce the
statistics show that 4s,s45,2s0 gallons
of milk were produced in 1899; 9,17S,-

cheese, and 7,43s,4OO dozens of eggs
