Forests and Climate.

A recent report by Professor Moore,
chief Of the weather bureau, upon the
influence Of forests on climate and on
the run off Of water is Of interest and
value at this time. In some respects
Professor Moore antagonizes popular
belief. He holds that the cutting away
of the forests is not invariably fol
lowed by harmful results, because
their existence has nothing to do with
the precipitation Of rainfall. Floods,
he says, are caused by a precipitation,
the source Of which is vapor floating
too high in the air to be affected by
the conditions of the surface air.
Forestry advocates insist that forests
do exercise a marked influence on
droughts, floods and on precipitation.
On the other hand, authorities Of equal
experience believe that broken, cult
waited and permeable soil covered a
large part of the year with growing
grasses and cereals are quite as effec-
tual in conserving rainfall as trees.
The report is assuring in that it ban
ishes fear Of calamity on account of
the reckless forest cutting of the past.
But it Is far from the last word upon
the wisdom If not the necessity of rea-
sonable forest conservation from this
time forward.

The endorsement of Gov. Burke for the

presidency by the North Dakota demo-
Gratis at the Devils Lake Chautauqua
on Democratic day is fitting. No man
living in the Northwest has a better
record. Since his election to the COVER
norship John Burke has become widely
known for his sound judgment and
executive ability, and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific he commands the atten-
ton of those who are interested in
craftsmanship as we'll as in politics. The
state democracy oughtnot only to endorse
him, but some organized effort should
be made to give vitality to the endorse
ment -Cooperstown Sentinel.

THE "THIRTY PER CENT" CLAUSE

A large and enthusiastic meeting OF
the democratic state central committee
and prominent democrats from all over
the state, was held at Fargo last week
Harmony prevailed at the meeting, and
great confidence was expressed in the
outlook for party success at the polls
this fall.
According to reports from all the
counties in the state, submitted by
Chairman Cashel, the result of the
June primary gives the democrats the
following places on the state ticket: Two
members Of ongress,governor lieutenant
governor, and railroad commissioners.
The other candidates on the state ticket
failed of nomination of by go to abcut
400. In a large majority of the counties
including Stutsman, the democrats also
nominated their legislative tickets.
1t was the unanimous opinion of those
present that the thirty per cent provision
of the primary law was unjust, unreason-
able, and unconstitutional, and steps
we're taken to Immediately test this
provision of the law. The thirty per
cent clause has been before the supreme
court once being written by Judge
Spalding, Judge Morgan co%ncurring and
Judge Fisk dissenting. 1t was the
general opinion that the supreme court,
as now constituted, would be very liable
to reverse this decision. If this
contention proves to be true,it will mean
full democratic tickets in all the counties
of the state.
While we are a firm believer in the
principle of the primary law, we believe
that the INT now On our statute books is
susceptible to a number of changes, all
of which would be of benefit to the
people OF the state. This thirty per
cent clause is the most Objectionable
feature and was evidently Incorporated
in the law-by a republican legislature
for the very purpose which it has
achieved this year-the d~isfranchise-
h1SAs " dDOue my POI CouG VI Cuo VOLcIS
of the state. 1t is certainly an unreason-
able provision and should be stricken
out.
To show the absurdity of this thirty
per cent clause-if it is held to be
constitutional the democratic party will
have no candidate for secretary of state
upon the ballot at the general election
IN November. Therefore there will be
no vote upon which to base the thirty
per cent as required by the present pri-
mary law. Will this mean the total
elimination" of the democratic. party in
in the state,o what will be the outcome?
There is no shadow or question Of a
doubt of the reelection of Governor
Burke, yet in view of this fact, this
section of the primary law absolutely
shuts the democratic party off from the
primary ballot two years hence. Isn't
it observation-disclosures Co. Democrat.

Ar,erina2S Daily Bread.

If that gigantic bread trust recently
formed turns out to be one of the
good trusts" we have heard about it
will surely improve the quality of the
output of the bakery. There is need Of
it. America started out on homemade
bread, but the race is nourished today
on bakers bread to a great extent, and
it must be confessed that the trade
article is often more palatable than
the domestic article. Whether it is as
n%ourishing for Drawn and sinew, to
say nothing Of morals, is doubtful, ac-
cording to many authorities on diet.
In Europe the common people de-
pend almost wholly upon bakers
bread. The quality and price are gen
orally regulated by the governments,
and it is an economy of time for even
the poorest to eat 'boughten" bread.
Baking is a real science, and the prod
uct of the expert ought to be superior
as a strength builder to that of the
amateur. The shape Of the foreign
made loaf and the plentitude of its
crust is a long standing drawback for
its popularity on American tables. OF
late bakers have tried to produce the
l1just as good as" mothers homemade
loaf, and often they come pretty near
it. If the bread trust insures plenty of
palatable and healthy bread which
Americans will eat 1t may come in for
an Immunity bath" by popular YER
dict.
Halley's comet will not even knock
Wall street out Of it's calculations.

From the statements made concern
ing the condition Of the farmers eleva-
tors throughout the state it is apparent
that those interested in the organizations
have learned a lot in the last few years.
There was a time when 1t was claimed
that the farmers elevator could not be
made a success and the numerous short
ages at the end of the year gave some
color to the assertion. But nearly all of
the associations are now in good condi-
ton. and are serving "a most useful
purpose.

NORTH DAKOTA AS A CROP STATE

Ten year figures for North Dakota
show that the state has produced from
Is to "A per cent of the total crop OF
spring wheat produced by North Dakota,
South Dakota and Minnesota. Last
year North Dakota produced more than
half the total crop of fax in the whole
country. This shows something OF
North Dakota's Importance to the
agricultural world. 1t will not be many
years before North Dakota is one OF
the great corn producing states ofthe
union. The acreage of crops in the stats
is continually improving. Method OF
cultivation are being improved. One
adverse year Will have no effect upon
the state, other than temporary. North
Dakota's place as an agricultural state
is secure.
In 1908 the two states of North Da-
kota and Minnesota were about on a
par, while in 1906 North Dakota pro-
duced %, 100000 more than Minnesota.
in the ten years ended with 1909 Min
nesota produced o. ,734,OO bushels,
while North Dakota produced 6l2,33l,oOC
bushels. Next in order is South Dakota
with a record OF 39S,6l4,000 bushels in
the ten years in question.
Within these ten years North Dakota
produced from 1916 per cent to 44,3 per
cent. of the total of three spring wheat
states. AS far back as as l9OO North
Dakota had a harvest of l3,l76,2l3
bushels out of a yield from the three
states of "a, 1885,, 149 bushels. In the next
year the proportion doubled, and for
four years following North Dakota
averaged about one-third of the total
product of the three states IN these
cereals. Below are given figures for the
combined yield for the three states, the
WELD of North Dakota and the per cent
which that state Yields of the whole:

According to the experts of the de-

horses in the United States at the be-
ginning of the year was larger by
100000 than it was twelve months be-

2 per cent. The horseless vehicle is a
great success. So is the trolley rail
