THESURVEY COMMITTEE
Held Session Here Yesterday and
Planned Important Church Work
for First Half of Year.

The North Dakota survey committee
met yesterday in the Fargo Y. M. G. A.
building and laid plans for making a
religious survey of the state between
now and July /. This committee was
appointed by a gathering of state rep
resentatives of the different churches
which met here in November. 1t is a
part of a movement extending over
thirteen states OF the northwest. The
object is to find out any districts
which may be neglected r~eligiously
and to perfect a plan by which the
need may be met. This whole work
is under the direction Of the home
missions council, representing twenty
two Protestant denominations.
The committee elected Rev. e. p.
Robertson of Grand Forks, chairman;
Rev. G. C. Warner of Grand Forks
secretary, and Rev. j. X. Burleson Of
Grand Forks, treasurer. The commit
tee will begin work at once upon the
basis of the school districts of the
state and desire the cooperation of
all school officers, teachers and others,
as they may be called upon, without
any respect to religion or denomina-
ton. the desire being to get at the
facts.
The committee has no financial
backing but will appeal for funds to
those interested in the broader work
of the church. This committee will
make no attempt to unite churches or
to bring about federation but simply
seeks to get at the present condition,
upon the basis of which further work
may be done.
An executive committee was APP
pointed, consisting Of members in
Grand Forks to prosecute the work,
subject to the approval Of the general
committee.

BAR LOW-NECKEDW WAISTS
Butte Superintendent Also Bars Short
Skirts to Teachers.

Butte.-Short skirts and low-necked
waists are out of place in the school
room when worn by the members Of
the teaching force, and were referred
to as wearing apparel abbreviated at
both ends which must be worn no
more in the state Schools" by Super
intendent Downer at general MONTH
~ meeting of the teachers.
The superintendent did not attempt
to specify just what teacher should
or should not wear. As to the exact
meaning Of low-necked waist, the
teachers claim that the superintendent
did not mean waist without collar,
but perhaps a sailor waist without
the shield, or shirtwaist turned in"
at the neck sufficiently to warrant the
fear among the children that teacher
might catch cold"

Do not be afraid to harrow garden

good working condition 1t will do them
much good. Narrowing with all teeth
In the harrow just as the plants are
coming up will assist many Of the
weak, struggling ones to push their
way through the upper crust. in case
crust has been formed. Except in
dry, loose soil. It Is difficult for nearly
all kinds Of beans to push their way
out and up, says writer in an ex-
change. II the surface soil is much
crusted many Of them perish in the
attempt, and reseeding is often nee
essary. The best patch Of lima beans
that the writer ever grew was har-
rowed both ways at the time they be-
gan to come up. When the man was
started on the work he told us that
he thought it was not good thing to
harrow beans. for he had never known
any one else doing it. He said, IT will
harrow them II you say SO, but think
1t will kill them" When he had har.
rowed them lengthwise we had him
turn on them for cross-harrowing.
At this the man complained loudly,
saying that there would not be a bean
left in the patch. His expression indi.
Gated that we were better success
as q lunatic than a gardener. When
the cross-harrowing was completed the
man admitted that the narrowing did
put the soil in nice shape, and that It
did not tear out so many beans after
all. Within a few days he admitted
that he had never seen so nice and
even a stand Of beans in his life. The
narrowing helped hundreds Of the
beans to come up, and put the soil in
such fine condition that the young
plants began to grow rapidly.

Bees and ~

One of the great mistakes in dairy
farming is in having too much land.
No farmer can afford to have q
cheap, inferior made silo on his farm.
Commercial fertilizer, when proper.
ly used, will increase the yield Of
crops.
Young cabbage plants require thor
ough protection in the hotbed and cold
frame.
Barley and oats, as we'll as wheat,
are usually improved in quality on
fax land.
There is no better way by which
the corn crop can be used than
through the silo.
Garden seeds require much the
same treatment as grass seeds or
small grains.
Alfalfa is the most wonderful Of all
cultivated plants, and the Oldest one
known to history.
You cannot make as good silage
from dry cornstalks as you can from
mature green corn.
It will take good farming to keep up
and increase soil fertility without pur-
chasing feed grown outside.
The egg plant Is one of the least
known garden vegetables and one
that deserves being better known.
The preparation of manure for
hotbed should begin at least three
weeks before the hotbed is to be
used.
Demand for good, productive farm
