Some of the opposition papers are at
tempting to make much of the fact that
Governor Burke attended the meeting of
normal board of control at Minot and
took part in the site discussions. The
board sent him a formal invitation to be
present and express an opinion, after
viewing the various sites offered. The
governors attendance was considered a
courtesy on his part by the board. In
his talk he said he did not appear before
the board as governor but as a citizen
and desired his remarks to be so taken.
The site is selected, some sore spots
being left in Minot, but the great major
ity of the people of that place are pleas
ed with the location and almost all are
glad that the matter is finally settled.
What the people of the state and of
Minot in particular desire is that work
be begun, that the school may open in
the fall of 1912.

THE SWITZERLAND PLAN.

Question Of How to Handle Children
Easily Solved.
In the overcrowded quarters of every
city where working people live there
are always many small children who
are allowed to run the streets without
proper oversight. The great question
with the authorizes is how to handle
them and prevent them as far as pos.
sible from becoming criminals. Swift
zerland has solved the problem. partly
at least.
In the city Of Basel. for instance,
guardian schools" organized and sup
ported by the state. are open every
day, and from the middle of November
till the middle of March every evening.
They car hardly be called schools. but
rather recreation classes. Under the
teachers direction the children play
games. tell stories. sing. embroider.
sew. and so forth. In good weather
they are taken outdoors for games or
walks. Each class has about thirty
five children in it. just enough for the
teacher or guardian to handle comfort
ably. The state provides all the ma
terials for the games and work.

1t is about time that the democratic
state central committee called a meeting
to arrange for the payment of accounts
outstanding, that there may be no re-
petitions Of court action against the
committee. If there is a balance of
accounts outstanding, of which the
opposition is making so much at the
present time, these accounts cannot be
audited and settled at too early a date
for the credit of the party. Things of
this kind, where so many are indirectly
Interested and no one particularly in
terested there is always a tendency to
delay and put off, but the point has
been reached where action should be
taken. The editor of this paper is a
member of the committee and is willing
to contribute his share towards wiplng
off this old account il other method of
payment is not available, and we have
no doubt such would be the prevailing
sentiment with the other members of
the committee. Let US get together
and clean up the old business and clear
the decks for action in the coming
campaign, from which. we, as a party,
expect much slocally aud nationally.
Let such a campaign:be hampered as
little as possible. -Bathgate Pink Paper.

MOISTURE FOR 1912

Advice by w. R. Porter. Sup't of Demonstra-
ton Farms. State Agricultural College
How should the average loan soil be
treated to hold the large amount of soil
moisture? Disc as soon as the binder
has cut the grain. This will conserve
much soil moisture that would otherwise
be lost by evaporation. The chief objec-
ton to this method is that it takes a lot
of power in harvest time and in many
cases the extra expenditure of labor
will be too great for the farmer to endure
who has this years crop to save.
Whether the land has been disced or
not it should be plowed as early in the
fall as possible when it is as wet as it is
at present. Land plowed when moist
as o will always be in good mech
anical condition, particularly if followed
by the harrow, the same day 1t is plow-
ed. The soil is then broken up and
compacted much better than if the
Jumps are allowed to dry into clods. It
is just as essential to harrow the same
day you pillow as 1t is to set concrete the
day you mix it, In many cases the
subsoil packer or the corrugated iron
roller should follow to compact the
furrow slice down upon the subsoil; this
should always be done the day 1t is
plowed while the furrow slice is moist.

TAX APPRAlSEMENT REFORMS.

On July 1st, 1911, there will 60 into
effect the law creating a board of state
tax commissioners. This board is to
consist of three members only two of
whom shall belong to n political party.
1t was evidently the legislative aim to
make the commission 0 or bipartisan.
The first board will be appointed by
the governor after July LIST next, and
serve until the mex general election.
Gov. Burke in discussing the law says it
is an exact copy of the Wisconsin statute
and similar to the law in force in many
Of the older states where state tax CON-
missioners are employed in supervising
the appraisement of property.
The present system of assessing prop
erty in North Dakota is not good and
gives the state a bad showing where
the situation is not understood. For
instance the low appraisment makes
the tax rate appear high. 1t has been
the practice to assess property for tax
alton at about one-fourth its cash value.
In order to raise the necessary revenue
or to raise any event by taxation
for that matter the rate has to be raised.
For example, a five per cent rate on a
full valuation will raise the same revenue
as a twenty per cent rate on a one
fourth appraisment.
In some towns of the state where the
rate of taxes is seven per cent of the
valuation, an investigation will disclose
that the appraisement of property is
seventy.tive per CEN too low.
This condition is not understood fully
by the people in other states and they
hesitate to acquire property where the
tax rate is apparently ruinous.
Gov. Burke thinks the tax commission
will do much to correct this evil when
they get in active operation. He has
not yet made any appointments for the
new commission and will not for some
time. But when he does make them it
Will be with the idea of their special
fitness for the position and with the
understanding that they will correct
the inequalities in the appraisment of
taxables.-Bismarck Tribune.

HANDLING FLAX FOR SEED.

Prof. Bolley Is sending out the follow
ing instructions in regard to handling
fax for seed:
Flrst-Pick out your most healthy
dark green colored area of fax on your
land or in your neighbours field and
remember this when you cut the crop
Second-Have the mustard, false flax.
and other weeds pulled out of your seed
piot-now.
Third-Let the fax get fully mature.
Fourth-Cut, if possible, with a bind
er, shock, and thresh as soon as dry, or
stack it and cover with canvas cap or
slough hay cap. If the ground is rough
and the fax straw is too short to cut
with a binder, use a FLAX attachment
and run the sickle bar rs close to the
ground as possible. Many growers lose
about n third of the flax seed which
they grow, because they do not make
smooth enough seed bed to allow the
reaper to work smoothly below all of the
heads. 1t this hits your case, do not
blame the fax crop as a nonproductive
one, but do better for it next spring. If
you cut it and drop it in loose punches
do not let these get wet, if you can help
1T, because they o become mouldy
and this ruins the seed for sowing pur.
poses, besides, when the hollis begins to
dry after being wet, much fax will be
lost through Smelling. II you cannot
thresh at once, when dry, place in large
cocks or small stacks and cover with
caps made of hay or use the regular
canvas cap or stack covers. Be sure to
have the straw dry when placed in the
cocks.
Fitth-Store the seed dry and keep It
dry.
