NEW ASSESSMENT PLAN.
System Gives People Chance to Place
Valuation.

Minot.-Ctty Assessor H. e. Wheel.
err will use an entirely new plan in
the ascertaining Of the valuation of
city property for taxation next year.
The details Of the new plan are being
worked ont now and the models used
are those already in use in st. Paul,
Chicago. Cleveland. Houston and 9th.
er large cities.
Heretofore the work Of valuation
has been left almost entirely to the
city assessor. The new plan will
entirely eliminate this feature. In
stead of going from house to house
the advanced system calls for district
meetings to which all property hold
ers are invited At these meetings
the valuations of property are thor
oughly discussed and this makes It
possible to secure an equitable basis
for the taxation. This is only one
Of the many good features of the
plan and the city assessor believes
that the entire system will meet with
the approval OF the taxpayers. It will
at least he big Improvement on the
present system.

STlCkING OF WHEAT IS uRGEO'
COOPER SAYS FARMERS SHOULD
so DISPOSE or aRAiN IN on.
DER TO SAVE Ir.
Frost Has Done Considerable Dam
age Already In North 0akota
Fields, Say the
Farmers.

Fargo.-"To my mind the farmers
ut North Dakota In the future will
do we'll II they stack their wheat, rath.
er than leave It in the shock prior to
threshing. and then they will not be
so dependent on the weather 40 they
have been the past season." said
Thomas Cooper. secretary Of the
North Dakota State Better Farming
association.
From the reports that We have re-
cefved from some Of our men," said
Mr.. Cooper. there has been a great
deal of damage done to the wheat In
the shock. which has not only bleached
to considerable extent, but some of
It has sprouted. This. however. only
applies to the northern and western
part of the state and not to any great
amount"
Some Killing Frost.
Reports that have been received
principally from the northern and
northwestern part of the state is to
the effect that there has been some
killing frost. which did damage to the
late flax and the corn. However, this
was not very great. and there is one
thing that is very satisfactory to be
able to state--a great deal of seed
corn OF high quality has been saved
and this will help to a great extent
next year. A great deal of the corn
has already been cut and has gone
into the silos. so that the loss in feed.
ing will not be very much.
Warm Dry Weather.
What we want now, more than any
one thing" said Mr. Cooper. "is good
warm, dry weather, so that the thresh.
ing can go ahead. If this weather is
furnished us. don't think any. Sec
ton of the state will suffer much from
the loss Of crops this season. The
people in the northern part have ben
greatly handicapped by the wet wealth
er. and I might say that the whole
state has been more or less affected in
the same way. This should teach the
farmer that it is much better to stack
the wheat rather than depend entire
ly on the weather as now. Up in the
northern and western part unless the
warm, dry weather comes at once
there will he considerable loss owing
to the fact that tho crops will be very
expensive to handle and the profit to
the farmer will he comparatively
small"

THREsHING FAR BEHIND,
Only Forty Per Cent Of Small Grain
Has Been Cut In North.

Fargo.-t rained continuously for
more than thirty hours and roads
throughout the state have been made
impossible. All farm work is at a
standstill and the farmers are facing
heavy losses. Farm experts declare
that week Of favorable weather will
be needed to resume labor in the
fields.
While the southern countries report
harvest rs per cent completed. only
about 40 per cent of the small grains
are cut in the northern section of the
state. Threshing is far behind and
grain is said to be sprouting in the
shock
Farm laborers by the hundreds are
doccking to Fargo and are preparing
to leave for northern Minnesota and
Canadian lumber camps. The state
Is confronted by labor problem more
acute than was the critical situation
at the opening of the harvest season.
With shortage of help the farmers
will be put to heavy expense to fin
fsh harvest and threshing. Grain ship.
ments will likely be six weeks later
than last year and later than any fall
in the history of the state. Desperate
attempts are being made by many
farmers to save their crops. but with
water standing in the fields it is i'm
possible to operate farm machinery.
The loss is already heavy. but 1t will
run higher unless there is a decided
change in weather conditions within
the next three days.
Grand Forks.-An inch and a quar-.
ter of rain has fallen in this region in
the last few days. an almost constant
drlzzle for fifteen hours stopping Sat.
urday night. The rain has fallen over
wide territory. reaching north across
the boundary line and west to the mid.

The seriousness Of the crop condi.
ton has been increased. In Cavalier.
pembina and parts of Trail counties
much grain remains uncut and the
losses in those fields will he heavy.
Fall blowing is being so badly DELAYED
that very little of it will be done this
season.
The present need Of the North Dako
ia crop remaining in shocks is a
stretch of cool weather with winds
which will dry the grain

What It COSTS TO ].
BUILD A CREAMERY

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April a.
During the, past few, years q larg
number OF creameries have beel
built In the United Sattes. Many o
them have been successful from tn
start, while others have failed ate
few. months operation, and som,
were never even started.
An Investigation of the creamer!
business in several states by secre
tary Wilson. Of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, has shown
that the cause Of many Of tho fail
ures was due to lack Of Z sumcien
number OF COWS, which should mol
be less than 400, and that Others
failed because Of improper organisa
ton, in tho case Of cooperative cream
cries, and excessive cost Of building
and equipment. Many crsamsriel
have cost about twice their actual
worth, and were not Of the tyre suit
ed to the locality In which they were
built. IT,. III. ,s.-- 49,, +.
The cost of . creamey building
about 20 by 48 feet will vary from
$1,000 to $500, dependent upon the
locality, the construction, and tho cost
fmaterial and labor. Such q build
ing usually consists Of q main work
room, engine and boiler room (includ-
ing space for refrigerating machine),
coal room, refrigerator, storeroom, and
ONCE. ~. co.. wi
Machinery for gathered-cream
plant, consisting Of 15-horse power
boiler, 1othorse power engine, combin.
alton churn with with = capacity Of
900 pounds Of butter and other nece@I
sary apparatus, viii cost approximate.
~ $1,000. Machinery for Z whole.
milk plant will cost about $3.50.
This equipment will handle from
1000 to 1900 pounds Of butter per
day. II 4 refrigerating machine ia
included the cost will be from $500
to $1,000 more.
The total cost Of q creamery would
therefore vary from $500 for q small
gathered cream plant without artic
fetal refrigeration, where labor and
material are cheao. to $4.660 for q
wholemilk plant, including artificial
refrigeration and q higher cost Of
labor and material. p.
The department Of Agriculture is
to furnish information for
the proper organization OF creameries
and cheese factories, and upon re.
quest will supply plan Of organisation
