The IMPORTANCE
OF FLAX CROP
PROF. BollEY OF AcRlcULHURAL..c co..
LEcE ON VALUE OF FLAX CROP
PROSPECT OF NORTHWEST

The Importance of the flax crop
to the northwest is one worthy of
you. closest consideration. Sta
tistics of the crop indicate that it
is gradually losing ground in the
northwest in the same sense as it
has done in every other state in
the union. The northwest, and
particularly North Dakota, can ill
afford to lose so important a crop
from their short list of available
crops for general farming. The
records of this crop show that it
has been one of the great money
makers of North Dakota, and pre-
viously did equally we'll for Min
nesota and older states.
l have become convinced thru
my studies that it is not necessary
that the flax seed crop should be
lost to the northwest, and shall
try to help the farmers save the
crop much in the same sense as
the wheat crop has been saved
from the ravages of loose smut,
and the potato crop from it's var
ious enemies. North Dakota alone
has annually produced approx
mately half of the flax seed crop
of the United States, and consider
ing the ruling prices for the seed
the Importance of the crop is plain
ly evident. At this time l can
only say that the flax crop is not
destructive to the fertility of the
soil, and that with proper handling
the new soils of the northwest need
not be infected with the diseases
which have driven the crop out of
the soils in the older regions, and
that with proper handling the crop
can be placed into profitable growth
upon the older lands where the
diseases now exist. This can only
be done by careful consideration
of the methods of planting, by the
selecting of pure, clean seed, by
disinfecting the seed before sowing
it, and by conducting proper ro-
tations to keep the soil free from
the growth of the flax root fungi
which may chance to reach it.
The Importance of the question Of
pure seed and of keeping the soil
free from the persistent parasites
which destroy the crop is so great
that if overlooked the crop must,

SHERIFF IS CHIEF
PEACE OFFICER
ATTY. GENERAL SAYS THEY ARE MORE
THAN ORNAMENTAL PROCESS SERV-
ERS- -ENF0RcE Law OR DISMISSED

Fargo, Aug. 27.-In legal and
official circles today the topic
mostly discussed was the opinion
which has been framed by the at
torney general of Minnesota, at
the request of the governor. The
latter wanted to know what local
officers he could hold responsible
for violations of law about which
his desk was continually filed with
complaints.
Governor Eberhart, to whom
many complaints of violations of
the liquor laws have been made,
wished to know what local officers
he could hold responsible for law
violations. The sheriff is directly
responsible to the governor, and
for this reason the governor wrote
the attorney general and asked for
an opinion not only as Ito the du-
ties and obligations of the sheriff,
but also to the penalties provided
in case the sheriff neglects or re-
fuses to perform his duties,
According to Mr.. Simpson, the
sheriff is the chief peace officer of
the county and is answerable di-
rectly to the governor. If he is
derelict in his duty the governor
may dismiss him. There is no
appeal from the action of the
executive.
A leading Moorehead attorney
referring to the. .opinion just pre-
pared by the attorney general said:
Il am very glad the governor has
taken the matter up at this time.
1t will set sheriffs in Office and
those aspiring to the office at the
coming primaries to thinking. Too
long has the average sheriff been
basking in the sunshine of his idea
that his principal work was to
serve papers and draw fees, simply
as a process server. This waiting
for complaint is all poppycock.
Only a short time ago a county
commissioner had to stir up the
animals at Dilworth when really it
should have been done by the con-
stable or some other peace officer. :"
It is stated that the governor
has ordered that copy OF the
opinion, with citations of the COM
plants sent to the Office of the
chief executive be sent to the
sheriff of every county in the state.

WARD COUNTY
CASES DECIDED
JUDGE DAVIS AND WEATHERWAX WIN
OUT IN INTERESTING ELECTION CON-
TEST--DECISl0NS OF JUNE 8TH

Minot, Aug. 25.-Ip a decision
handed down late yesterday after
noon in the contest cases of Murray
VS.. Davis and Willis VS.. Weather
wax, Judge Kneeshaw held that
the supreme court decisions of
June 8, amounted to a declaration
of the fact that county division
had carried as to Renville and
Burke counties and more, and that
said counties were not created and
in existence so far as having le-
gal existence as counties until after
the appointment and qualification
of the county commissioner of said
counties, at which time and not
until the said counties had legal
existence as counties in the state.
He therefore held that the votes
cast should be counted, that the
electors of Burke and Renville
counties should not be disfran-
chised and accordingly he dismissed
the two contests, leaving Nehemiah
Davis as the nominee for county
Judge and L. p. Weatherwax was
nominee for county treasurer on
the, republican ticket.
Legal complications arose after
the decision of the supreme court
which prevented the county auditor
from certifying the returns of the
1909 election to the secretary of
state until after the primary elec-
ton. Consequently the question
of law came up as to whether or
not the decision of the supreme
court formed the new counties and
if so, whether, after such forms-
tion, the people Of said new county
could vote as part of Ward
county. In other words did the
supreme court decision disfranchise
the people of Bur..3e and Renville
counties. They could enter vote
legally or they could not at all. If
they could vote, their votes must
be counted and in all Offices, both
state and county.

Physical Culture for Sept.

Many suggestions and details of
methods by which the cost of sup
plying the table with wholesome
food may be reduced, are con-
tanned in the September issue of
Physical Culture.
This number also embraces, un-
der the rather startling caption
"How To Live On Ten Cents q
Day." the results of the expert
ences of Upton Sinclair in seeking
= remedy for the prevalent high
cost of living. -
Raymond Duncan, whose scanty
raiment has called forth much
criticism from those who regard
his garb as lacking in modesty,
contributes to the September issue
of Physical Culture a spirited de-
fense of the costumes worn by
himself and family, and hurls the
charges of immodesty imputed to
him back in the teeth of his crit
les.
Other contributions of a timely
and interesting nature in this
number, some of which have been
previously announced, are, The
Bath as an Aid to Beauty The
Harvest's Place in the Nations
Health,'' ''The Olive and Its Food
Value,'' ''Thee Makeup and
Methods Of Frank Gotch," Car
ing for the Health of the Blind, -
and many other interesting arti-
cles.

rid of both the moisture in the soil and of
rainfall.

is less than Is inches.
The summer fallow saves up two years rain for
crop. ,..
The summer fallow kills weeds and plant diseases.
