Among the primary pupils enrolled
in a Baltimore school this term is the

that city.
One afternoon, at close of school, the
youngster sought out his father in his
Office, to whom he said:
Dad, I'm getting tired of school. I
think I'll quit
'Why?" asked the astonished par.
ent; whats the matter. Tommy?

DRY FARMING METHODS WILL
MEAN GREAT IMPETUS TO
WESTERN STATES.
HAS 20O,OOO,OOO ACRES

by Scientific Water Conservation.
MANY Farmers Now Using
New Methods.

Fargo.-Commercial conditions IN
every city and town il the western
grain growing states will be changed
before 1915 as the result Of increases
in farm production, II the plans Of the
Dry Farming Congress-, which has
headquarters in Spokane, are carried
out as planned by the national officers
headed by Congressman F. w. Mondell
board Of control.
John T. Burns. secretary Of the or
ganization, who compiled by the follow
ing data, believes the cooper alton of
the farmers Of the country in this
movement will bring about greater
transportation development, increased
marketing and milling facilities and
corresponding gains in every line of
trade and commerce.
In a recent letter he says:
1.-THE total average Of the 20 wheat
growing states was about 32.265,0O0 in
1909, and the average acre production
was 20.5 bushels or AZ bushels above
the general average for the United
States. The greatest increase was in
the states, where the most attention
has been given to scientific methods.
1.-TWO hundred million acres of I'M
occupied lands in the western states
can be placed under the plow within
the next four years If we push the dry
farming propaganda to its limit, and
Of this fully 100000 acres will be
wheat producing land. This increase
in acreage means farm production
which will change the commercial con-
ditions Of every city and town in the
western states.
Experiments in the states, where
dry farming is practiced, show we can
increase the production of; wheat by
at least five bushels the acre, and, TAX
ing it upon the basis of the present
acreage, this means q total of 1861
$4,000 bushels additional yearly in
the western states alone. Figured
upon 9. nominal increase, which we
might place upon double the present
acreage, this means an annual wheat
production Of 704,S64,0 900 bushels in the
western states or almost equal the
yield Of the entire country in 1909"

Resolutions.

state Medical Men n Convention Pass
Resolutions.
Grand Forks.-Fargo was selected as
the place for the 1911 sessions of the
North Dakota Medical association at
the closing session of the convention
held here.
Cine of the most interesting features
Of the session was the address by
Prof. E. F. Ladd, commissioner of pure
foods in North Dakota. Food, Drug
and Sanitary Inspection Laws and
their Importance as Health Measures"
was the subject discussed by him. He
gave thorough explanation of the
conditions under which the North Da-
kota laws regulating the several sub
jects are being enforced showing that
their relation to the public health was
Immensely prominent and took front
rank.
During the sessions the following
resolutions were passed.:
To the Hon. w. L. Stockwell. Super
intendent Of Public instruction, Bis
marck, N. d.
Sir: At the twenty-third meeting
OF the North Dakota State Medical as
ISOLATION the following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, health officers and ply
sicians generally encounter antagon-
ism to the proper enforcement of SAN
itary laws and regulations owing to
the lack Of knowledge in hygenic
matters on the part Of the laity, and
Whereas, many diseases in the
light of present day scientific knowl-
edge is often unnecessarily transmit
ted from one person or place to an
other, and
Whereas. in our opinion, the best
place to disseminate and popularize
the knowledge necessary to prevent
preventable diseases in the. public
school.
BE it resolved that practical bac-
teriology in connection with prevent
able disease should be taught more
extensively in our schools"
