BUTTER MAKING.

-
Never before in the history Of North
Dakota have the people shown so much
interest in dairying and buttermaking
as at present. Adverse grain crops
for two or three years turned the at
tention of the public to the great pos
sibilities of this industry. The people
are anxious to learn more about the
business.
The unfortunate veto by Governor
Burke of a measure to establish a de-
partment at the A. c. for instruction
along this line has set North Dakota
back several years-but even this hand
leap car be overcome-and things
can be accomplished against apparent
official opposition and antagonism to
the best interests Of the farmers and
the state.
The butter business is now a matter
of large figures. In 1909 there were
produced In the United States on
farms and in factories 1920, 7s6, 900
pounds Of butter--valued at $405, 0Oo,-
O0G. rsr
The quantity produced on farms
Ss6.D01.OOo. valued at $225, $4,000.
Factories produced 624, 10000 pounds
valued at SITE, 10000.
Butter manufactured by farmers co..
operative creameries is included in the
figures for factories.
Among the states wisconsin ranked
first in total production with 1910 :
900 pounds, valued at $685. 900. 1t
was frst also with i03,Ss5,000 pounds,
valued at s2s.547 900. produced in fac
tories.
In total production Iowa ranks Sec
ond, Minnesota third. Pennsylvania

Texas ninth.

HAccALAUREATE SPEAKERS.

Discussing a subject of interest at
this season of the year, The New York
Evening Post said e~ditoriaIiy:
Year by year the task of the bacca-
laureate orator grows more difficult.
Once upon a time his duty
was very simple. Here were
several young men on the point
of leaving alma matters cloist-
cred seclusion for the expert
ences, the trials, and the tempta-
tons of the world. Warning and adj
vice were in place. But what is there
about the world today that q com
mencement speaker can teach his au-
dience? Among Ais listeners are men
who have managed to take away
enough time from clustered seclusion
to run down in their own motor cars
for a week end near Broadway; men
who have worked their way to Europe
in cattle boats and come back as able
seamen; men who have worked as
bear-leaders and strikebreakers; men
who have edited daily newspapers and
conducted successful theatrical tours;
men who have managed football
finances running up into the $50, 900;
men who have held mock political con-
ventions, pulled wires, and-alas-
stuffed ballot boxes. If your baccaiau-
reate orator is a venerable divine of
the old pastoral school there are sew
eral things about the world which
these fledglings in cap and gown could
teach him.

THREATENING HANNA.

The insurgers Of the state have sent
outside for a muckraker to delve into
the oficial record OF Congressman
Hanna. The people of North Dakota
are quite familiar with Mr.. Hanna's
public life and are unlikely to pay
much attention to the mud balls hurled
by the insurgent importation.
One of the amusing features of the
preliminary article sent out in this
connection is the statement that the
findings should be published by the
insurgent press-whether they favored
or criticized Mr.. Hanna.
Imagine the insurgents putting up
perfectly good money to pay for nice
things their muckraker could say-but
won't-for Mr.. Hanna.
Some class to that insurgent, muck
raking joke!

BRIGHT FOR

No profession, no business has
brighter prospects just now than farm
Ing. The discussion over the high cost
OF living has turned the minds Of the
people toward agriculture. Farming
will not only to more generally prac-
ticed. more people will engage in 1t,
more acres will be tilled-but the
methods will be greatly improved and
larger yields per acre will be secured.
There are more mouths to feed than
ever before. Most things upon which
the people live have been increasing in
price for the last few years. They are
unlikely to be lower-and they will be
q great deal higher unless more peo-
pie raise what they eat-and something
to sell. 1t looks like the best the con-
sumner can hope for is a temporary
check in prices. In North Dakota
where most people are producers
there is no wild clamor even for the
check.
This increasing value OF farm prod
ucts is also advancing the price Of
land. Farms in North Dakota will
never be permanently cheaper than at
present. The farmers who have been
fairly successful have promise Of
greater returns. Every growth and
development along any line is a boost
for the things which the farmer has
to sell. The whole earth is the founda-
ton Of the farmers success-and the
assurance Of a bright and prosperous
future.

The pony that hauls the mail wagon
from The Forum building to the post
office and trains caused a little stir
yesterday afternoon by making a dash
down the alley back of the Gardner
hotel. The Forum pony was standing
apparently quite unconcerned when
something frightened him and be
dashed across the street, down the
Gardner alley and into N. p. ave-
nue.. In time the reins became wound
around the wheels, which checked
the animals flight and the bride was
broken when 1t was brought to a sud-

its side with the suddenness Of Its
stop and when quieted was driven
back to the postoffice.
