4. D. PAINT Law '
Commended From New York State
Agricultural calIsgs
Work.

week speaks for itself. The letter
comes from New York and is but one
of many recently received by Mr..
Worst ALI similar in tone to this one.
s'Please accept my thanks for send
ing me your bulletin No. 70. 1t
clears up the mystery why so much
of the painting done in this city
turns out bad, fades and rabs OF IN a
very short period. It is not the fault
of the contractor as he has tried tti1s
highly praised combination OF ieao
and zinc paint that the paint factor
les claim to be so superior to the OLD
fashioned lead and oil paint. l am
fairly astonished that such dopes as
some Of the LEADS and mixed paints
are, wears much better than white
wash. am sure your pure paint law
will be blessing to the country
1t is interesting to note. just at
this time, that Professor Laid has
once again been most strongly vindi-
Gated, in his efforts to enforce the
Pure Food Laws. The injunction
proceedings recently instituted
against President Worst By Paul
Jones and Co., whiskey manufactur-
ers of Louisville, Kentucky have just
been stopped, the complaints. asking
that the case be withdrawn.
This incident, shows how well
within the law, Professor Ladd takes
his stand and how beyond attack his
position there is. More it shows that
when the Agricultural college is Civ
en- a thing to do, it does it and it
does it beyond criticism.
President WORT has ordered four
different types Of potato from the
Department of Agriculture that have
been especially bred for the prodGc-
tion Of alcohol. These potatoessWere
bred up in Europe where denaturized
alcohol is produced for manufactur-
ing and power purposes. It is the
purpose of President Worst to see
how these potatoes will produce un-
der North Dakota soil and climatic
conditions. It is understood that
the potatoes are not valuable for Ia
BILE use.
The testing of the individual ears
: of seed corn for their variability as
well as the standard of perfection
which they reach, is one of the act
i've features of work in the Agricul-
tural department at present.
The plan eliminates ears Of low
grade and weak growing strength,
with a single trial and assures the
better chance OF results In the field.
The poultry building, is one Of the
most active and scientific enterprises
upon the grounds. A large number
of the hens have daily record of
their egg production. which c0nsti-
tutes stronger and more certain
pedigree of value than that, which the
bluest blooded of the equine and
bovine races, represent. There are
beautiful specimens of Plymouth
Rock fowls in this aviary, whose
grandmothers are the most contemp-
tible appearing yellow mongrels i'm,
aginable. Trap nests which impris-
on each hen that enters the nest, al
low them to be identified by the
poultryman before they are again
given their libetry. The name of the
her and the date, are recorded upon
the eggshell as a daybook and the
system is complete. This record is
afterward transferred to the ledger.
The double power windmill at the
college cattle barn is grinding grain
enough to keep two car loads Of cat
ttle on full feed. 1t is a matter of
great satisfaction to get even this
amount of useful energy out Of this
mischievous and .tireless worker. En-
} ergy enough is wasted in the states,
Of the Great Plains, to carry on all
of their useful enterprises II only the
