The day when North Dakota can be
called a one-crop state is passed; diversi-
ication and rotation of crops is rapidly
becoming the established custom, while
wheat still stands at the head as the
leading crop, it furnishes less than half
of the revenue which the states farmers
enjoy. Corn is one of the products that
is proving a money getter for our far
mers. This seasons yield is estimated
by reliable authorities at between 6 and
7 million bushels. This is more thar
double any former years yield of corn
in this state. The corn has done we'll
this year and it has made good and as
North Dakota raised seed is used in
place of the seed brought IN from other
st ates, the corn crop will become more
staple, it will mature earlier and grow
harder and stronger. Get into the field
now and save your best corr for your
1912 seed.

American Efficiency.

Thomas A. Edison has been travel.
ing In Europe, but talking about Amer
lea. What he has said shows that he
has IN insight into people as well as
into natural forces, that he can apply
his wonderful thinking powers to ma
tional conditions as well as to inven-
tons, and that he discerns the peculiar
thing we call Americanism, which is
that democracy fosters brains and in
dividual initiative, and that he would
maintain this democracy and this ma
donal genius at their highest and best.

spondent, "of the loom test proving
the relative degree Of mentality in

weaving machine SO perfect in opera.
ton as to require only the general su-
pervision Of one nan Now, 1t has
been demonstrated that an American
can guard sixteen such machines, an
Englishman twelve, a German ten, an
Italian eight and a Chinaman merely
three. That is how to rate the degrees
of brains in different peoples. The
test is scientifically accurate.
'It shows that we have the quickest
brains going. We ore natural invent
ors. The world owes it's practical adj
vance to us. California is particularly
wonderful. The people Of that state
are extraordinary"
Mr.. Edison also praised the English,
whom he found much like the Ameri-
cans, only he said they are lazier; but
the French and Latin races generally
he thought smoked cigarettes too in
c%essantly. the effect of the burning
paper being brain deterioration. Amer
lea was the burden Of his thought,
however. He wanted to keep up the
spirit Of this people so that they would
continue to be the most efficient in the
world.
Liberty is an abused term" he said.
"There is no freedom where there is
no chance to live and work. We want
our land to be one where any one who
has something good to give to the
world 4 find conditions to make it.
"What produces in me a positive
feeling of pain is the thought that any
fine individual faculties are wasted,
as often happens in the hard condi-
tons of today. We need every brain
that thinks, has ideas and can act.

the rock basis Of our great American
land"

The s~uffragettes want a hymn. Spell

The Pistol Toting Menace.

By a law which went into effect in
the state Of New York on Sept. 1 it
was made a felony to carry any con-
cealed deadly weapon and a INSIDE
meanor to have such weapon in the
bureau drawer or anywhere else on
the premises. Permits to keep weap-
ons are given only for the very best
Of reasons and cosf $40 per year. The
intent of this act, according to- the
lawmakers, is to discourage! street
fighting and ~promiscuous shooting
The act seems a trife drastic as it
affects the matter of keeping 90 pistol
about the house, but as the degree of
such offense is only a misdemeanor
and as it does not give the right to
enter and search ones house, it will
be rather difficult for an officer of the
law to discover whether the law is
broken or not. Aside from this fea-
ture, the remainder Of the act, making
it a felony to carry concealed weapons,
will meet with general approvah If it
can be enforced it will surely decrease
the number of shootings and murders.
The only object Of carrying a weapon
is to threaten or infict death. That is
what it is for. The plea Of self defense
is rather himsy, for the reason that
where one is in actual danger he is
seldom given the opportunity to use a
weapon. The toting of pistols, dag
gers and other murderous tools is a
constant suggestion to their use.
There are moments in the lives of
many men when in fits of anger, in.
toxication or temporary alteration
they might be capable Of murder if
the weapons were at hand, In the alb.
sence of such the critical moment
passes without harm.

NORTH DAKoTA's 1911 CROP.

North Dakota has been known for
many years throughout the union be-
cause of the superior quality of wheat
raised here. In consequence of this
many have gained the impression that
wheat was the only crop produced in
North Dakota.
Ii there WAS a shortage of wheat crop
they believed that North Dakota would
be on the verge of bankruptcy. This is
by no mea the case, as already there
is considerable Investigation IN the
products of the state.
The wheat crop of North Dakota
this year is estimated to be worth ST.
100000, while the total of farm products
not including live stock-equals
sl5O,O0O,O0O.
Flax alone has been produced here
this year to the value of S39,00O,O00; the
oat crop is worth $14,OOO,OOO; the barley
crop, s19,000,0O0 and corn, potatoes and
hay are valued at $2,O00,OOO each.
1t is interesting to note that the
agricultural products of North Dakota
for the year 1911 are the greatest of any
of the northwestern states, those of this
state being $l50,OO0 900; Minnesota comes
next with S14S,OOO, 900: South Dakota is
third with 100000 Washington next
with $63,O0O,O00 Montana and Oregon
are each S42,0 OO, 1000; Idaho $4,000, 900
Wyoming S15,0OO,O0O.
The year 1909 was considered a very
prosperous year, and the total of the
North Dakota products harvested that
fall was Sl39,0O0,000 while this year the
value exceeded that of 1909 by at least
~Sl1,0OO,OOO, notwithstanding the fact
that the state raised %$14,0O0,O0O bushels
less wheat than in 1909. The flax crop
alone this year is worth $1,000, 600
more than in 1909 and s25,OOO,OOO more
than in 1910, while the barley crop is
SS,O00,0OO more than in 1909.
