While the spectators and the
department of Agriculture are
disagreeing - to who is to blame
for the high price Of wheat. at least
one thing ought to be said for the
plain bread eater. That is, that q
dollar bushel is enough for wheat.
Dollar wheat is 20 profitable q crop
for the farmer that If he could be
sure such q price would be main
tanned for year or more he would
greatly increase his acreage. Then
dollar wheat is not 50 expensive
that the price Of bread would need
to be increased. OF course it is
painfully unscientific and business
like to raise the question, buff
the farmer would be glad to raise
wheat at a dollar, and If the patron
of the corner bakery would be will
ing to pay for bread on the dollar
basis. why should the price go mp
to flag, merely for the sake Of
providing cungenial occupation and
easy money for a lot of board Of
rade operatoss9'

THE idea of pensionsfor indus
trial workers gets new impetus in
Massachusetts. The legislature
last month passed bill by whose
provisions the Boston & Maine Rail-
way adopts an elaborate pension
system for its 27.ooo employees,
under state supervision. The sys-
TEN is cooperative in contributions,
one half of the funds being provid-
ed by the workers and the other
half by the company. The mini
mum annual pension is to be 5000.
The system is cooperative in con-
troll. Company and men have
equal representation in its manage
ment. It creates legal rights. A
man does not lose his contributions
to the fund if he leaves the COM
pany's employ. He gets no pen
sion. but he gets his mony back.
The system is also compulsory,
nfter the company and the men
have voted to adopt it. Although

A LECTURER from the state agri-
cultural college of Kansas in telling
the farmers of that state that most
of them have too much land. They
cannot get it plowed in good season.
they cannot cultivate it thoroughly,
and they cannot harvest their crops
economically. So a big acreage
results in small yields, poor quality,
mixed grain. and reduced profit.
He tells his hearers that the right
cultivation of hundred acres will
bring more actual cash than the
cultivation Of three hundred acres
under the usual improvident meth
DDS. But Kansas farmers don't
like to let go of their land.

ADvKRfIsINe RArn
Friday. July ,6. 1909.

LAST week was had one on the
saloon. Tennessee went dry state
wide and the capital city Of West
Virginia joined the dry crowd.
Sixteen years ago majority of the
states in this country were license
territory. The growth of anti
saloon sentiment has been so rapid
that there now only remains two
states in the east, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, and two in the west
with the territory of New Mexico
that remain license territory where
local option does not prevail, while
there is none in the south. The
decrease in production which was
lamented last month by the presi.
dent of the Brewers Association in
his address at the annual meeting
is the bsst evidence of the good
that this change Of sentiment has
wrought. Alcoholic drink has
never made q man better. but on
the contrary it has brot some of the
very best of men, men of both big
heart and brain, into the gutter.
Nowhere are people proud of the
saloon. No pamphlet sent out to
draw immigration ever boasts of
the number of saloons that there is
in the town, tho the churches ard
schools are never overlooked.
Happy will be the day when total
abstinence will be the general prac.
tice and the saloon and bootlegger
will both 60 out Of business for
want of trade. 1t Is a mark of
manhood for . young man to stand
out against the drink habit. 1t is
an evidence of weakness of charac-
ter for young man to be drawn
into drink. More widely this is
being recognized by both young
aud old, and the result is most
beneficial to all.-Farmington

The Wisconsin legislature I

The Wisconsin legislature recent
ly passed q most excellent law-a
bill to prohibit profanity in public
places. The new law provides that
any person who shall use, in the
hearing of other persons in any
public place. lewd, lascivious. OBJ
scene or profane language shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and shall be punished by fine of
not more than $2S or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail not to ex.
coed 80 days, or by both such fine
and Imprisonment. Commenting
on the new law the Wisconsin Dali
ly Journal says: It is good law
and it is hoped it can be enforced.
1t protects the respectable citizen
and especially the finer sensibilities
Of women from an outrage and an
insult which is not sufficiently
guarded against. 1t is not the
wickedness of it that excites so
much indignation, although that is
a strong factor, but it is the low
down coarseness, the loaferism Of
the act. The contents of the ves-
sci are known from what comes out
OF 1t. If those who use profane
and obscene language could know
how they rate themselves in the
minds of those who hear them they
would feel like sinking into hole
and getting out Of sight. Being
callous or unconcious Of this con-
demnation it ought to be made
visible to them by fines and penal
ties imposed by court. The vio-
lation of the laws Of decency are
more to be condemned than viola
tions of statute law.-Delta Tribune

almost certain to encourage this fea-
ture OF the game. Have the bali
brought back TO the point Of the pass
and give II to the team for another
trial without the penalty, but let the
down advance.
Another suggestion is to allow two
forward passes to a scrimmage and
have every man on the team eligible
to receive 1t. Eliminate the rule which
states that the pass must go 1--WE yards
either way Of center. In this way the
game would be opened up to point
which is sure to satisfy the reformers

At present there is a rule prohibiting

as rigidly as IL should be, and a sug-
gestion could be made which might
have a far greater tendancy to stop
this crawling Instead of penalizing
the defensive side for such an infringe
ment, it might have far greater ef-
feet toward the elimination of crawl
ing to penalize the offensive team. In
this way crawling would be stopped in
short order after team had been

dangerous features of the sport would
be done away with.

Plan FOR MEET
OF GRAIN congress
PREPARATIONS FOR PROGRAMME
FOR GREAT ANNUAL TRI-
STATE EVENT ARE ALREADY
UNDER WAY-REcoRD BREAK
ING MEETING EXPECTED.

In little less than two months the
great annual agricultural event--the
Tri-state Grain Growers convention
will be held in Fargo. This year the
convention will be held from Jan. is
to 81 inclusive and will be the twelfth
time the meeting has been held.
The Grain Growers convention is an
annual event in the lives OF the farm
ers and stock breeders OF North Da-
kota and South Dakota and Mime
sofa. Each year they gather in Fargo
and for several days listen TO adj
dresses by men who have made the
phases of agriculture and stock rails
ing in this great northwest country
scientific study. They not only list
en- but they also have voice in the
discussions. What they gain by this
convention only they themselves know
but 1t is fact that they come year
after year to learn of the new develop
ments. 1t is an interesting fact that
those who have been regular attend
ants at the convention are now the
They surely must gain by It.
Already the programme for the
great gathering Is being prepared.
Pres. j. H. Worst of the Agricultural
college Of North Dakota, who for many
years has been executive of the Grain
Growers. is busy securing the best
speakers and most noted agricultural
lists of the country. Many of these nave
signified their intention Of coming and
include not only famous farmers and
membrs Of the faculty of the agricuI-
tural colleges of the three states but
also prominent men in the department
Of agriculture of Washington.
This year there is every reason to
believe that the Grain Growers con-
vention will be the largest in the his
tory of the institution. All over the
three states interested the crops of
the past season have been excellent.
The farmers this year got their fall
work most done, owing to the splendid
weather conditions during harvest and
thresning time. and in fact everything
is in condition that It will be pos
sible for them to leave home for few
days and come to Fargo where they
Will learn something Uf great interest
to them in improving their business
and at the same time enjoy a general
reunion of the soil tillers.
At the convention they will find
something to interest them and more
will find someone that is interested in
them personally and in their welfare
someone to care to learn that their
brindle heifer died and that the oats
crop was very Thin on field that al
ways produced large yields. These
troubles are then investigated and they
will learn why they happened. In this
way-swapping experiences-the farm
ers Of this great country learn much
outside of the regular programme.
Already large numbers of them are
scanning the columns OF the paper and
writing to President Worst to find out
when the big convention will be held
this, year They were here last year
and they want to be sure and be pres
ent again this year. They are coming
They will go away benefited.
