value Of the package sent or re-
ceived. A state legislature, how
ever, has very little power 10 cure
the evils regarding which complain,
is made. The express matter that
passes between North Dakota sta
tions is but a drop in the bucket
of the total volume of the business.
And the United States congress is
the only legislative body that can
deal with interstate commerce.
The press dispatches say that the
question of excessive express rates is
causing strong protests from all
parts Of the Union. and that regula-
ton by the Interstate Commerce
Commission will soon come about.
OF course, il the parcels-post bill
should be enacted into law by corr
gress. packages to maximum
weight Of eleven pounds could be
sent cheaply by mail. That would
grip the express companies where
the hair is short. and it would do
likewise to the business of country
towns. Really. there is no excuse
whatever for the holding UP Of
shippers by requiring them to ship
by express goods wanted in hurry.
Railway companies should be COM
PEELED to maintain service of their
own for carrying hurry-up goods.
and not farm out the privilege TO
middlemen organized as express
companies. But no state legislature
be it Insurgent, Stalwart or Dem
ocratic-can reach the root of the
evil.

A city gentleman was recently in

day with the birds" Whatever his
powers in matters Of finance, his
shooting was not remarkable for its
accuracy, to the great disgust Of the
man in attendance, whose tip was
generally regulated by the size of
the bag.
Dear me-" at last exclaimed the
sportsman, 'but the birds seem e1-
ceptionally strong on the wing this
year"
s.Not all Of 'em, sir" came the re-
mark; you've shot at the same bird
this last dozen times. 'E's follerin'

To Elevator Men.

(Circular from Prof. II. l. Boley, Bataa.>:.
North Dakota Agricultural Colises>
The department of botany of this
experiment station aims to aid the
farmer in proper methods of flax
cropping. in order that he may be
better able to cope with the Difficult
ties which have beset the flax crop
through years Of careless and in
different cropping. We do this with
the hope that the fax crop may not
be totally eliminated as an agricul-
tural asset.
The experiments made by the
North Dakota experiment station
through many years have proved
that the old theory that the fax
crop is particularly detrimental to
the chemical fertility of the soil is
not true.
The fax plant and the soil in
which it has grown harbor several
different misunderstanding fungus
diseases. which. through proper
seed-selection. seed-bed formation
and seed-treatment, can be eliminat-
ed to great degree. II such meth
DDS are consistently followed from
year to year, great Improvement in
yield may be expected.
In order to aid in our work Of
getting information to the farmers.
we ask you to send US a list of such
farmers as you think would be in
terested in this matter. 1t is neces-
sary that we have list from your
section. as We do not wish to miss
any region where we can possibly
be of some aid. Now is the time
to help.
If you have stored any seed for
sale to farmers, send US half-pound
sample and we will test it as noted
in Circular q. Would you like to
have our regular bulletins on fax
culture? If so, send your personal
address to H. L. Bolley. Botanist.
