Agricultural cI!ese Notes.

The chapel addresses and the lee
lures before the Polytechnic Societ,
are attracting much attention thit
year. The chapel addresses cover
week by week, various phases of the
general subject of good citizenship
Two weeks ago Prof. Shepperd spoke
on "Our Dominant Industry" mean
ing of course,-Agriculture. To IL
lustrate the greatness of Agriculture
he compared 1t to the numbering
business, and informed us that the
hen, with her egg ami chicken crop
produced annually six times the val
ne in dollars Of the American stump
age. His address was a plea fol
better conditions, better living, and
larger outlook upon life.
Last week Prof. Beckwith spoke
on sanitation, and showed how clean
living, fresh air, pure water, and a
disposition to look at the good things
of life made possible longer and bet
ter living. Fifty years ago an In
FAINT had an sven chance to live to
the age of thirty-three years;
now it has the same chance to reach
the age of forty-six. And this Is
again due not to any putting away OF
life's enjoyment, but simply from
obeying the easy and pleasant rules
of heath-good air, good water, right
living, and good cheer.
Prof. Waldron went to Chicago
last week, in part to attend the
flower show held there Nov. 9Th, and
in part to purchase stock for the
new green house built this summer TO-:
the horticultural department.
Norman Powell of Cando, N. D.,
one of the most prominent Sopho
mores, did last week at St. Luke's
hospital of typhoid.
Prof. Willard went to Chicago last
week to arrange for the printing OF
a map covering til soils suvey work
done this past summer in Richland
county. These soil survey maps, OF
which there now are several, are Of
great assistance to any one looking
for a location for a farm. A letter
addressed to the U. S. Geological
Survey, Washington, D. c., will
bring the maps to your address.

Because Of rust our wheat four years
ago was universally Of low grade
Canada had no rust west Of the Red
river and the high grade Canadian
wheat was shipped in here in bond
mixed with our low grade wheat and
ground into flour and shipped out
again, thus enabling us to. get rid
of otherwise practically unmarketable
wheat at fair price. As proof Of
the truth Of this statement, there
has been no Canadian wheat shipped
into this country since, although the
decision OF Secretary Shaw Is still
in force, simply because there has
been no ex:gency demanding 1t, AMI
wheat in Winnipeg is three cents
higher than it is In Grand Forks
You ought to know that your C,n
adian wheat story Is altogether too
transparent, and that the North Da'
kota wheat farmer, to whom yo1l
sympathetically refer, has seen thu
it.
The primary election of this year
IS convincing proof that the people
are getting their eyes open and in
future are not going to mistake de-
sire for Office for capacity. They
seem to know what they want. In
the future, the people of North Da-
kota are going to demand of their
public servants an unequalled fusing
of honesty, fearlessness, sincerity, be-
ligerent righteousness, strength and
ability. They may be fooled occas.
ionaily and part of the time but not
all of the time. Your experience
gained by twenty years in congress
should make you valuable private
citizen OF our splendid young com.
monwealth You should not permit
the gangrene of unsatisfied desire to
make you pessimist. Make up
your mind that "the people rule" at
ter all.
Yours respectfully,
HAROLD ]. SCHULZ.

mers elevators, and when these are
all united in one mammoth organiza-
ton, covering the three great spring
wheat producing states, the society
figures that it will probably control
the price OF spring wheat and thereby
insure good prices to the farmers.
There lis no question: about the sue
cess of the plan," said one Of the Of
iicers this afternoon. The mills have
got to have the spring wheat of these
states. Just as soon as we can go to
the mills and absolutely guarantee
supply of spring wheat at all times
we will get the business. I was told
by a representative OF large mill
in the east that the trouble in the
past has been that we only had a few
cars of grain on the tracks at intermit-
tent periods. When the mills wanted
the grain, we were not on hand, and
they had to go to the board OF trade.
Our plan is to have a mammoth ter
minal of our own and then we can
talk business to the mills, which would
be glad to buy from US when they can
be sure of supply and when they
know that the excellent spring wheat
of the Dakotas and Minnesota are not
mixed. as it is done by the repre-
sentatives of the board of trade.
"Why the Farmer is King, was
the subject of a splendid address by
Prof. Arnold of the state college of
agriculture yesterday afternoon. Sen
ator Hanshrough~ spoke on federal in
spection of grain, what its advantages
are to the farmers of the Dakotas,
how the wheat drawback ruling OF
secretary Shaw is detrimental to the
farmers OF the Northwest and what
splendid future the American So
ciety OF Equity has If 1t will continue
its efforts along the lines of organic
alton and cooperation, movements
which are evidenced IN every walk of
life and industry in the twentieth cen.
fury. The annual report of Secretary
Charles U. Pierson of Casselton, show
ed that 1872 new members had been
admitted during the year, that TWEEN
ty-eight local societies mad been organ
lied during the year. The society has
now 314 unions in the state and eight
cen county organizations resulting
from the dissension between the fol-
lowers of former President J. A. Ev-
erett Of indianapolis, Ind, and the
newer members, the society in North
Dakota has grown rapidly. This NOR,

delegates to the North Dakota con
vention of the American Society OF
Equity who are assembled at the JAG
obsons opera house in Mint today
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Brown this morning and the
principal address Of the morning was
delivered by J. Weller Long, Of Chip
pewa Falls, Wis, national organizer
Of the society. He reaearsed the re-
markable growth of the movement
throughout the United States and said
that he society had a great work to
perform in North Dakota.
He said the main purpose of the or
ganization was to secure fair and equ-
liable prices for the farmers Through
out the United States. The object was
not to buy cheap, but to get a good
price so that farmers could afford to
pay a good price for the articles they
need
He said that the society had raised
the price of wheat this year at least
twenty cents busnel. He urged the
organization of societies throughout
the state and pointed out the benef.
cial results from organization through
out the country.
Prof. Arnold of the state argicult,
ural college will speak this afternoon
and there will be an address by I'm
lifted States Senator Hansbrough. May
or Clark welcomed the delegates this
afternoon. There are about eighty pre-
sent and by tomorrow the number will
probably be increased to one hund'
red.
A mammoth grain terminal elevator
costing approximately $4,000 will be
constructed by the American Society
of EQUITY at Superior, Wis, for the
benefit of the members of the socl-
etv in the three spring wheat produc'
ing states, North and South Dakota
and Minnesota.
This became known at today's SEES
sion of the North Dakota convention
of the society, when it was announced
that approximately $4,000 stock OF
the total issue of $4,000 had already
been subscribed and that the move
ment is far enough along to insure
it's success. The three states, North
and South Dakota and Minnesota, have
formed district union of the society
and the especial object Of this union
will be to secure equitable prices fol-
the grain growers of this district.
The society already controls lis
farm elevators in )erth Dakota. There
are in all 275 farmers independent Ell
evators in North Dakota. The plar
of the society is to secure either con
troll of or an agreement with those
elevators, whereby all grain will bt
