cannot fail to arouse another and more
vital interest as he comes to realize
the magnitude of the agricultural OPP
erationS which are being conducted
around him, matters OF everyday rou-
tine, too commonplace to attract more
than passing remark.
The report is the most yoluminous
that has ever been issued from the
department of agriculture I'M labor,
and may, roughly speaking, be divided
into three subdivisions, viz, agricul-
tural statistics, dairying department
and promotion of immigration. Under
the first head will be found the de-
tailed record of all the cereals, tame
grasses and root crops grown In North
Dakota during the years 1910 and 1911,
with the acreage planted to crops in
1919, the whole being c~opiously sum-
married for each annual period. The
acreage sown, plowed up, harvested
and yield in bushels, with average yield
per acre for each county is given, thus
enabling the seeker for information TO
follow i~nteiiigentiy the agricultural
progress Of each subdivision. To the
careful reader a study of the figures
discloses the steady trend of the North
Dakota farmer towards more general
diversification of cereals as embodied
In the crop rotation method of tillage,
foreshadowing possibly a radical
change in the farm schedule. In the
dairy division will be found a statisti
cal record of butter made In families
and in the creamery, cheese manufac-
tuTed, amounts received for dairy
products and number OF cows milking
In 1919 In each county. The statistical
record lis preceded by an interesting

object, scope and methods adopted,
whereby the population of the state,
in the course of but little more than
half of one decennial period, has gain
ed almost 100000 in number, ranking
fifth in percentage gain for the ten

the states in the union. The relative

attract attention to our growing state
are discussed. such as travelling *

EAT FRUIT AND !
CUT EXPENSES

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 14.-That a
great consumption of fruit by Ameri-
cans would cause a great reduction
in the cost of living and raise the
general standard of health in this
country, was the assertion Of several
speakers before the annual +~conven-
ton OF the Western Association of
Nurserymen here today.

Mo. She should consider ii, is need
full for her children as sugar and
bread. The people of Europe eat rela-
lively much more fruit thar we do in
this country. They are benefited fl
nancially and their health is immeas-
urably better because of their fond
ness for fruit.
The association is pledged to lower
the cost of production of fruit and inn
prove the methods of distribution. so
as to lessen the cost to the consumer,
but still retain a profit for the or
chardist.
A legislative committee, headed by
Peter Younger OF Geneva, Neb., was
appointed to work for uniform tree in
spectton laws in all the western
states.
War on alien bugs which migrate te
