Several Million Dollars Received for
State School Land.
Bismarck-A table has just been is
sued from the Office Of State Land
Commissioner Macdonald showing the
sale of school lands in the state since
July 1, 1908.
This tabe shows that a total of 43O,-
305 acres Of the different classes of
common school, university, normal
school, agricultural college and various
other land for educational purposes,
have been sold. The selling price Of
the same is $7,556,915 and the total can
received for the first payments is ST.
513.390, and the average price paid for
this land is $17.59 per acre.
Before the sales are held the county
auditor. and the superintendent Of
schools in which the land is situated
go out and view the land as board
Of appraisers and at the time of the
sale no bids under the valuation fixed
by this board will be considered. In
many instances during the past year
and a half there have been pieces Of
land sold for over $50 per acre, and
much of it has been disposed of at be-
tween $40 and $25 per acre.

GRAND FORKS COMMITTEES
TAKES ACTION. LOOKING TO
NEW BUILDING.
Vote AT JUNE PRIMARIES
Commercial Club Appoints q Commit.
tee to Draft Resolutions to Pre-
sent to Board Of County
Commissioners.

Grand Forks.-In response to gen.
eral demand from representative citi-
zens all over Grand Forks county, the
Commercial club committee, with DR..
]. D. Taylor as chairman, met and de-
cided to ask the county commissioners
to submit the proposition of building
new court house to vote of the
people. The action Of the committee
was taken as a result OF the expressed
wish of the county commissioners that
some definite grounds be furnished
them on which to base the call for q
vote on the proposition at the June pri-
maries. AS result Of the meeting
set of resolutions will be drafted and
presented to the commissioners at
their May meeting and it is expected
tn they will at once call the special
election.
Now that the court house PROPOSE
ton seems to be in fair way to get
before the people at the June pri-
maries, the matter will undoubtedly
receive a good deal Of discussion pro
and con. That Grand Forks has had
the poorest court house in the state
for many years is we'll known, and the
need of extensive repairs II the build
ing is to be used for county business
further, brought up the matter Of
new building at this time. 1t is under?
stood that the county commissioners
are in favor of a new structure and
that the people Of the county gener-
ally believe that it Is about time
something was being done. Naturally
there is some opposition, but it Is not
believed that this will continue when
the actual state OF affairs Is under~
stood.

New Salem.-The recently organized
North Dakota Breeding Circuit assoc
citation, under the direction Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, is doing successful work in this
neighborhood in creating an interest in
the problem of breeding better dairying
stock. While this is statewide or
ganization, at the present time its
membership is composed of farmers in
the vicinity of New Salem.
The institution of test to ascer-
tain the production of individual cows
and the establishment Of prizes for
the owners of COWS making the best
records is one feature of the work
being carried on by this association
with great success.
Business men Of New Salem sub.
scribed a purse of $3.50 to be given
as monthly prizes to the owner Of the
COW that produces the largest amount
of butterfat each month A prize has
been provided for the COW with first
calf that produces the largest amount
Of putterfat each month. A yearly
prize for the animal of each herd that
produces the largest amount of butter
fat throughout the year is also to be
given.
"The record of the cows" says
State Dairy Commissioner Flint in dis
cussing the plan being carried out here.
whether considered from the point
of production or from the profit Of
the owner, to my mind is of so much
Importance that it should have the
result of increasing the state. AS q
general rule those who keep cows
merely to have the milk or butter do
not appreciate the value of their pro-
duction. BY this play they will quick
ly be shown the true value Of the
work"

In recent years Bordeaux mixture
has come into i'll favor among the ap-
pie growers on account Of its injuri-
Gus effect upon the fruit and foliage
of certain varieties, and there is a
growing demand for a reliable fungi
eide which can be used for the control
of apple diseases without producing
such injury. Bordeaux mixture is un-
doubtedly the best all-around fungi
eide known, and it is unfortunate that
the apple growers have to consider
the possibility of giving it up; but the
russeting of the fruit and the burning
of the foliage caused by 1t are so OBJ
jectionable that it seems highly de-
sirable, if not necessary, to adopt a
less injurious fungicide even at the
risk of partial sacrifice of efficiency
in the control of disease.
The acreage in apple orchards in
this country is rapidly increasing, and
in the future the production of apples
will undoubtedly be much greater
than at present. The writer is of the
opinion, however, that there will be
no serious overproduction and that
there will always be a good demand
for apples, while the poor stuff SO
common on our markets today will

caused no russeting, or at most very
little where the strongest solutions

these mixtures was smooth, clean and

between the fruit sprayed with the

very striking, and this feature alone
would make the latter sprays prefer

equal.
A lime-sulphur solution containing,
when diluted, about four pounds of
sulphur to so gallons of water appears
at present to be the most promising
preparation. This may be obtained by
using the commercial solution at the

TO HANDLE A GUN PROPERLY Y
Dangerous Weapon Unless Care Is Ex
ercIsed-Six Rules for Guidance
of Boys In Hunting.

If boys go hunting they must carry
guns, and guns are dangerous unless
they are handled properly. A writer
in Forest and Stream gives six rules
for the guidance of boys in handling
guns, that are worth publication.
1. Empty or loaded, never point a
gun toward yourself or any other per-
son.
2. When a-field, carry your gun at
the half-cock. If in cover, let your
hand shield the hammers from whip
ping twigs.
3. When riding from one shooting
ground to another, or whenever you
have your gun in any conveyance, re-
move the cartridges, If breech-load-
er, it being so easy to replace them.
4. Never draw gun toward you
by the barrel.
s. More care is necessary in the use
of gun in boat than elsewhere
the limited space, confined action and
uncertain motion making it dangerous,
at the best. If possible, no more than
two persons should occupy a boat.
Hammerless guns are a constant dan
ger to persons boating.
6. Always clean your gun thorough
ly, as soon as you return from days
sport, no matter how tired you feel;
the consequence Of its always being
ready for service is ample return for
the few minutes irksome labor.
