union SCHOOL OF
BARNES COUNTY

Valley City, N. D., Jan. 10.-There
was recently published an article con-
corning the Fergus consolidated school
of Grand Forks county. Barnes county
can boast of one equally successful,
and though young has proven a tribute
to the advocates Of the consolidated
idea This is known as the Uxbridge
school and is situated four miles west
of Leal.
The school house itself is a modern
four-room building with full basement
In one half of the basement is installed
a modern steam plant, and the other
half is fitted up as a gymnasium. The
two upper rooms can be united into
one large assembly room, for social
neighborhood gatherings and school
entertainments. At present there are
employed three teachers, all trained.
The principal is young man OF good
scholarship and a leader the two
grade teachers can teach music and
physical culture. There is a course
of five acres which is being beautified
by the planting of trees, shrubs and
flowers. A garden is retained for ex-
perimental work by the classes in ag-
riculture.
The writer recently visited the school
and was greatly impressed with the
splendid school spirit that was evident.
The healthy rivalry was there the
same as in the city schools At recess
all turned into the gymnasium WI IRE
a spirited basketball game was pulled
off between the fourth and fifth grades.
The enthusiasm and school yells were
enough to convince anyone that here
was q real live school The records
showed that the percentage of attend
ance was far ahead of that in the old
line school, and the theory of too great
distance was disproved by actual facts.
Parents can't keep their children away
from the school.
But the best proof Of all which justi-
fies the big central school is in the
changed attitude of the community. It
was not without opposition that he
school was built. But the opponents
have been won over, largely by the
spirit Of their own children, and now
they all join in making the school the
center Of thee social life of the COM
munity Much credit was due to the
directors, Frank Widdefeld, George
Simpson and Elwood Mcmillan. who
had the courage TO shoulder the re-
sponsibility and push the idea through
to success. But the school has amply
rewarded their efforts and is a proud
monument that points the way to
other communities.

OF SOIL SURVEY
FOR N. D. SENT TO GOVERNOR
Director Of the Survey, Hard Tells Of the Work Badly Need
ed in This State--the Farmers and Business Men
Want to Know About the Soil

The Agricultural college soil and
economic survey has just brought the
work Of the biennial period to close
with the forwarding of the report of
the director to Governor Burke. Some
readers may not know that in 1901 the
legislature made provision for a soil
and economic geological survey within
the state. One thousand dollars has
annually been furnished by the state
for this work, while the federal gov
eminent, wishing to encourage the
younger states in this method of devel-
opment Of natural resources, has usu-
ally added SO to 81 to one appropriated
by the state, with the hope that the
state legislature would "see the light
and increase future appropriations to
amounts proportionate with the value
and needs of the work
The very worthy object of this sur
vey is to determine the land value of
the newer sections, with the further
idea of bringing these before the pros
pective settlers. The survey party,
consisting of the director, Herbert A.
pIOLGSGOE VI 6COAOG9 III AAiC ~ ~
H. C. McKinstry and Edward Clark,
has collected samples Of soils on each
quarter section Of ten townships in
Kidder county and two townships In
Morton county. These were later an
alyzed and classified accordingly. The
climatic conditions and productiveness
of titled areas were noted and height
of the water table and general accessi-
bility OF water sources studied by the
director.
Each season the land surrounding
one OF the college demonstration farms
is surveyed. In the ten years exist
ence of the survey about one-tenth of
the state, or $500 square miles, have
been surveyed. The federal bureau Of
soils has aided largely, but last year
this cooperation was unfortunately
permitted to drop. However, through
the acquaintance of the new director
with Chief whitney of Washington the
bureau has promised a renewal of
these very desirable relations with the
local office. Thus several dollars OF
federal money to every one of the state
appropriation will be secured.
In every area in which survey has
been made great interest has been
taken by a large number Of wideawake
farmers, dairymen, real estate men,
county officials, and others, who forci-
blv express themselves as appreciating
the fact that the survey will greatly
aid development. In fact surveys are
asked for certain areas by the people
themselves, or by their officials-as in
the case Of RichIand, Williams and
other counties-even before sufficient
appropriation has been made by the
state to prosecute such work. So
carefully is the value Of lands deter
mined that the commissioners of Rich
land expressed themselves as requir-
ing the survey as means OF getting at
valuation for assessment. Further, the
county put up $1,000 for the survey in
order to get the county interested.
Frequent inquiries from prospective
farmers and from real estate men are
received at the office OF the director
for information such as the survey Sc
cures as to the value OF landS in all

sections Of the state.
Many Varieties of Soil,


The state has large variety of soils.
The purpose of the survey is to deter
mine just how extensive all Of these
types are, and to find their crop adapt
ability. The experiment stations and
demonstration farms of the agricuItur-
al college are placed on as many Of
these different soil types, with as many
different conditions Of climate, etc, as
possible. The general soil type having
been selected, and the experiment farm
established, re survey then follows
with its detailed quarter section can
vass Of soils in all adjacent areas. The
field party aims to classify and map
all types OF soil comprising an area of
ten acres or more. Thus all farmers in
that locality may have access to the
information, scientifically obtained as
to crop requirements on soils identical
with or similar to their own. From
each station there should radiate a
field of influence making for improved
methods Of soil and crop management.
The average settler has not the time
Or money, even if he has the informa-
ton required, to experiment with a
new and untried soil. The survey and
experiment farm can supply this need.

INSANE ASYLUM
NEEDS MORE ROOM
PATIENTS ARE CROWDED IN
SLEEPING QUARTERS AT THE
JAMESTOWN INsTI.
TUITION.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 1o-There
are now 700 patients at the state hos
pital for the insane, exclusive of off,
GERS and employees. The recommends
tons of the trustees to the governor
and the legislature show the need OF
two more ward buildings, one of which
should be tubercular hospital for
women
AT the present time the sleeping
quarters in several OF the women's
wards are so badly crowded that many
patients are obliged to double UP. and
in one basement room there are eigh-
teen cots for women. Sanitary condi-
tons require not to exceed half that
many in room 20x22 feet. In a. cou-
pie of years from now a new steam
plant will be needed as the present
plant will be inadequate to furnish
heat. The laundry was also built to
supply the needs of a much less num-
Der Of people. There are now ESQ
women patients crowded into accom-
modations. which would be sanitary
and reasonable for $50 patients
superintendent McAllister says that
hospital accommodations for 1000 or
more patients give much better facili-
ties for handling, classifying and treat
ing the different classes of cases than
at institutions where q small number
or patients are kept In the larger in
situations especial care and room can
be provided for the old, the feeble and
mild cases Of insanity; also special
quarters for the more excitable and
pronounced cases, and other reasons
known to the management Of such in
stitutions favor the large institution
over the smaller one, both in the mat
ter OF economy of maintenance and
better care OF inmates OF the various
classes. In the near future the North
Dakota state hospital will have to pro-
vide for at least 1000 or more patients.
Many institutions in other states are
increasing the number of patients in
the established hospitals instead of
providing new institutions for smaller
numbers

Row Over Chickens.

Jamestown, N. D., Jan. 1o.-on COM
plant of Thomas Kennedy. a farmer
living south of the city, about fifteen
miles, James Richards and Del Rich
ards were in Justice Bigelow's court
on the charge of petty larceny. The
complainant claimed that he had lost
number of chickens. James Rich
ards testified that he took his stock of
poultry, consisting of twenty-five
chickens, to the Kennedy house, where
he expected to live this winter, but
afterwards left Kennedys and took his
chickens along with him. Kennel
charged that Richards had taken some
of the Kennedy poultry also. The
case against both the Richards was
dismissed as there was not SUFFICIENT
evidence to hold them, and there was
no evidence of any kind against Del
Richards.
