THE OPPORTUNITY THAT
MANY HAVE LOST

Under the above caption, Pro1esso:
Thos. Shaw, the we'll known Farming
expert, goes on to- show that with
very few exceptions all of the grain
of the northwest could have been
stacked by Oct. 10, had the farmers
paid less attention to threshing, ana
more to the stacking. Rrof Shaw
says the grain could have been set
up in long shocks, which would allow
it to dry out faster, when the farmers
could have assisted each other in
stacking, providing men could not be
hired. He says:
The advantages from stacking the
present season wound include the fol
lowing: Il. The grain could have
been saved with but little loss. Had
the grain Eeen stacked at the earliest
moment possible the damage to the
grade Of the grain would have been
almost entirely prevented, and also
the great loss from Smelling which
invariably results when grain is lef.
many weeks in the shock. Even fax
put in the stack may he shielded from
serious damage by covering the stacks
with native hay. 2. The shocks could
have been removed from the land.
When so removed, every day that the
farmer was stayed in his harvest work
he could have spent in blowing his
land for the next years crop As
things are, but little blowing relative
ly will be done this fall. Had the
grain been promptly stacked IT would
have been possible to pillow the major
portion Of the land the present sea
son. 3. Had the practice of stacking
been general, threshing could have
gone right along, except when rain
was failing, for rain would not stay
threshing from the stack as It does
from the shock. When grain Is IN
the stack the farmer could thresh

Every harvest in North Dakota
brings its labor shortage, some years
more severe than others. The season
just drawing to close has not been
without this annual sohrtage. Altho.
considering the size of the crop. con
ditions have been remarkably good.
In any section Of the country where
an enormous supply of unskilled labor
is needed for only couple Of months
there is bound to be shortage. In
the first place the men who came to
North akota to do the work IN the
harvest fields are men who ought to
have steady jobs. Conditions should
be such that it would not be neces.
sary for great body of men to travel
hundreds of mile tos secure a few
weeks work. It probably has never
occurred to the farmers of North Da
kota that they could and should con-
duct their farms so that men could be
employed all the year around and SO
that only a comparatively small sup
ply Of transient labor would be nee
essary. More intensified farming, the
raising of cattle and hogs, ETC., would
mean the steady employment Of more
men on the farms. It would make
stacking profitable and there woulc
be no failure to get the crop threshed
The TABOR shortage problem is ,ne

The shooting of Colonel Roosevelt
at Chicago is generally deplored by
everyone, regardless of political faith
That the colonel lives by an accident
is most fortunate and his speedy re-
covery is expected and hoped tor.
Naturally the American people are Of
sympathetic nature, and just such
an occurrence as this was. is likely to
win enough votes to insure his cleo
ton. While the colonel, has never
worked the sympathy racket in or

reen forced upon him. The colonel
will surely be in the limelight, from
now one until Nov. 5, to say the
least.
