Reports Of losses by hail have been
received from various sections of the
state. While there are several indi-
vidual losses, the hail damage IS
scattered and the loss as affecting
the total crop of the. state will be
small. The individual losses are
greatly to be regretted, although in
a: year such as this one, with every
prospect for a large harvest it would
seem that the provident farmer
would guard against the possibility
of losing his crop by hail insurance
taking out enough at least to re-
imburse him for the expense of seed
ing and caring for his crop, If not
enough to pay as well for the value
of the crop. The possibility of hail
at the season of the year just be-
fore the crop is harvested, is GER
tain possibility, and should be
guarded against.

1t Is encouraging to note that out
at Bowman, in a comparatively new
district Of the state, there is cream
cry in active operation and a ship
ment of $500 pounds of butter has
been made to New York. The
growth of the dairy interest in the
state has not been as rapid as many
believe it should have been, but such
shipments as this one show that the
dairy business is growing. This is in
line with the doctrine that has been
preached to the farmers of the state
for the past ten or a dozen years
the getting away from the single
crop idea and the raising of cows,
the selling Of milk and cream, and
the assurance of an income all the
year round, instead Of only at the
grain selling season.

foreign affairs than it has to any
other branch of governmental af-
fairs. Until recently our foreign
representatives have not been Sc
lected so much for their fitness, for
their ability as for their political
strength. Our consulships were
places for active politicians instead
of men with special business and d.
plomatic qualifications to study the
conditions with a view of extending
our foreign trade. Our ambassadors
as a rule have been poorly paid and
not provided with those surround
ings and funds necessary to keep our
nation to the front in keeping with
the display and quite necessary en-
tertaining INDUCED in by the repre-
sentatves of all the other nations.
This nation does not even own or
provide it's representatives with suit
able residences and offices. So i'm
portant has this matter become, an
organization of leading citizens OF
the country has been formed to en-
courage and work up national SEN
timent to back up congress in maxi
ing appropriations to build or pur-
chase suitable homes for our ambas-
sadors to foreign capitals. 1t Is to
the shame of this nation that con-
gress has procrastinated so long.

NORTH DAKOTA's WEALTH.

IN review of the probable revenue
of North Dakota from this years
crop the Grand Forks Herald says:
The conclusion pointed to by these
figures, therefore, is that the farm
sers of North Dakota will this year
sell surplus products to the value of
quarter Of a billion dollars. There
are in the state something over half
million people. There may be half
a million on the farms. The sales of
products will therefore yield a rev.
enue of $500 for every man, woman
and child on the farms of North
Dakota. If the family averages five
members we have a revenue Of ST.
500 per family, with rent taken care
Of, and with milk, butter, and eggs,
Sand meat, and vegetables all pro-
vided
(: These figures seem increditable,
but if there Is a flaw in them we
would be glad to have it pointed
out. There is no getting away from
the facts. We believe that nothing
like this has ever been known on
any such scale in the history of the
farming operations of all the world.
The state is new The sections long
est settled have known but one gen.

two-thirds of the area now cultivated
was virgin prairie. And in this short
time the state has passed through.
the stage Of + pioneer growth and
reached the point where it accumu-
'lates wealth at rate hitherto IN
heard of. A little more, than the
surplus of year would pay for the
Panama canal. Two :ears' surplus
would provide all the funds needed,
according to the most liberal asti-
mates, for the Improvement Of our
waterways. If there is a spot on
earth where business conditions
should be better this fall than in
North Dakota we do not know where
it is.

NOT AN EASY TASK.

The Jamestown Alert reflects the
real condition surrounding the pass
age of tariff bill in this country
when it says: No bill ever brought
up before hae occupied both houses
for such length of time, and no
measure has been so thoroughly and
carefully followed by the people of
the United States, as this new tariff
measure, over which the last presi-
dental campaign was waged. Every
business interest in this commercial
nation was vitality INTERCEPTED, some
of them entirely antagonistic, there
fore a measure that could pass the
both houses must necesgarily be
compromise, and concessions were
forced from all. Agricultural inter-
ests of the west, and the manufac-
turers of the east, the interests of
the north and of the people of the
south all had to be considered, and
each presented their claims in full,
and each wse given consideration.
During the four months the vast ex-
tent Of the business carried on by,
this wonderful nation was revealed. RI
That any bill could pass two bodies
of men representing so many inter-
ests, seems nearly impossible, and
Shat the measure was passed at last,
i6Egreatly due to the fight made by
President Taft, who insisted upon a
revision and revision downwardz
as promised during the campaign by
the republican = party, and forced
many concessions that otherwise
could not have been obtained. While
l IT Is admittedly true the Payne bill
d not entirely satisfactory, yet 1t is
undoubtedly the best that could be
pissed at this time, and when con-
gress reconvenes in December Presi-
dent Taft will continue his stand
for further sion-downwards, as
promised to the people who conf
IDENTIFY elected him president by an
overwhelming majority.
