The. Independent grain buyers Of

ton are to improve methods and correct
abuses at terminal points.
The. members of the association will do

farmers of North Dakota more Just
sa id vorrect.grsding Of grain, and ii is
hoped they will succeed. Their main
gferts will be made towards securing
thK adoption next year of the Wisconsin
inspection law. The association held a
meeting over at Devils Lake during the
Chautauqua at which Gov. LaFollette,
Of Wisconsin, was present, and he told
the members in plain, unvarnished
language what methods were resorted
to in his state to defeat the bill. Its
defeat last winter aroused a lot of in
terest and created considerable comment
in this state, as it was an open secret
that some of the republican bosses of
North Dakota went down there and very
materially aided in killing the measure.
1t is hoped the new association will re-
ceive proper encouragement in its efforts
to correct the wrongs existing in the
present method of grain inspection.

AS EDUCATORS the daily papers stand
at the head of text books so far as
matters of current history go. Today
the people know more about the affairs
of the Vatican than ever before. For a
couple of weeks previous to the death of
Pope Leo the newspapers of the world
were teeming with articles on the sub
ject of papal succession, the methods of
electing new popes and the personality
of those in line of succession. Since the
occurrence of the death of Pope Leo the
papers have revealed mass of informa-
ton that could not have been secured
in any other way and it may be added
that the American press has led and set
the example to the newspapers Of the
whole world in this respect.

North Dakota will continue to grow
as much wheat as at present, but on
less acres. More wheat farmers are not
wanted, and it is doubtful if they would
be successful. For the dairy farmer
there is virtually an empire lying be
tween the Red River Valley and the
Missouri river. Bronze grass, macaroni
wheat, speltz and corn fodeI are all
adapted to this section of the state, and
the farmer who has the hustle and
'sgumption" to combine these with
dairying and hog raising can, in few
years time, make himself comfortable
home, and at the same time educate his
children and put away something for =
''rainy day." To depend on wheat or
fax alone would be disastrous. Farm
erssirom the older dairy states have
readily recognized the possibilities Of
Mouth Dakota for dairying, and her
cheAp lands, healthful climate and many
resources are attracting the yeti Of
settlers from the older states.
