decades the number Of agricultural
laborers has lessened by one-half.
Farmers have been steadily on the
downward path, and year by year less
and less grain has been grown. We
look with difficulty to find 1000. 900
acres Of wheat, out Of a total Of more
than 38,ee0,e80 acres under grass or
crops of some kind. Even ten years
ago France was growing 10000. 000
acres of wheat and rye to our 1900, 600
acres of the I'm crops, but France lie
the land of le petite culture, with 5,-
600, 600 small proprietors. with average
holdings of about seven acres In
France they look upon the soil as the
one and only true source OF wealth and
on agriculture as the chief industry,
on the prosperity Of which the fortunes
Of the country depend. The thriving
and numerous rural population is the
most solid pillar on which social or
der rests: their savings are the finan-
cial power OF France; whereas u ag-
~ricultural laborers r a dying race.
Many people have left the farms in
this country, and have thus impaired
the agricultural industry. The oppor-
tunities that are offered in cheap
lands-and the chances to make good
in farming-inspire not only the hope,
but the belief-that the growth of this
industry will be rapid in the forth
coming years. The United States
should lead the world in the products
Of the soil.
North Dakota leads other states in
its activity for better farming and is
already beginning to reap some bene-
fits from its advanced position.

CALIFORNIA s

California has always been a semi
detached part of the United States
When the '49-ers went tut there first
they had to make the trip all the way
around the horn--or the slower and
more trying way of crossing the des-
ert, There was no way for many
years to get In touch with the people
back east. One of the results 2 was
that California developed ~distinctiyely
different from the rest of the country,
Its people had different ideas, different
customs. 1t was almost a little ma
ton Of its own. .r
When communication overland fl
nally became rapid and convenient the
situation began to change-but it re-
CURED many years for California and
the rest OF the country to get ac-
quainted.
ITO offset this sentiment the people
of California are bending their efforts
to make the Panama exposition a great
success. They hope to interest more
people in that part of the United
States-and to get in closer touch
with the rest Of the country.
The third party fellows say that the
nomination or Governor johnson for
vice president will have the same eff
feet, in a political way.

A WEEK,

There are two things that Fargo
should arrange for next year--a ceIe-
bration Of the twentieth anniversary
Of the big ire-and a homecoming
week. The two would combine nicely.
There are many people who want
some kind of q celebration arranged
for June Ito commemorate the fire
Which g the new Fargo. There
are others who feel that better results
could be made by having a home-com-
ing week during the fair.
Fargo has many sons and daughters
who have wandered far from their
friends here. Hundreds of these
would welcome an opportunity to re-
turn to the city and renew old asso-
Citations. They would enjoy seeing
the development Fargo has made since
the seourge Of fire a score Of years
ago.
II q big celebration was arranged for
June I, it would be necessary to have
some form Of entertainment and
amusement for the visitors. This
would entail the expenditure Of a great
deal Of energy and cash-and would
initiate against the success of the
fair. If a homecoming week. could
be arranged during the fair entertain
ment could be more easily provided.
The fair management could work out
some cooperative scheme with a To-
cal committee that would prove help
full to both.
If the matter is to be a success
there should be an early start, so the
ex-Fargoans could male their ar
engagements months in advance. The
Forum believes that If President Page
and Secretary Slime of the CONNER
ciai club and President Lewis and
Secretary Talcott of the fair associa-
ton would get together-they could
outline q plan that would bring hun
dreds Of former residents of this city
here from all corners of the country.
The scope of the thing could be ex-
tended to include all former residents
of the state and be made a hummer
under the proper direction.

U. s. FARMING CONDITIONS.

The United States should be the
best farming country in the world
bat 1t isn't. It does not average up
with other countries-when the num-
ber of bushels raised per acre is con-
sidered.
The people have been so busy de-
veloping new country that they have
not paid sufficient attention to i'm
proved methods of farming-and to
increasing the yield per acre,
There are 100000 square miles of
territory-with 100, 600, 900 people.
One would naturally think that the
country should be overlooking with the
products OF the soil-but they are
scarce. IL better methods Of prepare
ton Of the soil, tillage and crop rota-
ton were employed the yields and
profts would be greater and the BEN
fits more general.
The comparison of the present
yields Of the United States with other
countries is not at all creditabIe to
this. During the year Just past
owing to a scarcity of pota-
toes raised in this country, there
we're millions of dollars worth i'm
ported from foreign countries. Upon
investigation it was found that every
European country surpasses the Unit
ed States in the yield of potatoes per
acre. The average yield here is nine
ty-four bushels, while in England 1t
isf224 bushels. Other European coun-
tries are lower than England-but
higher than the United States.
AS to the production of wheat this
country Is far down in the scale, sta
tisties revealing the following facts:
England, 80 bushels to the acre.
Germany, rs bushels to the acre.
France, Is bushels to the acre.
Canada, Is bushels to the acre.
United States, 1914 bushels to the
acre.
Argentine, 10 bushels to the acre.
India, IL bushels to the acre.
Australia, 8 bushels to the acre.
Russia, 8 bushels tt the acre.
The fault, be it understood, is not
VITA tHU SUI UT the EllLldL6 IN IQlS
cpaAtry. The climate is favorable and
the sell 10 fertile. but many dc not
make the best Of what they have. Toe
many farmers are burdened with NOR
land than they can cultivate to adj
vantage. Many of them do not try e
learn the most profitable ways t.
plant and reap and to care for theil
lends. This country is behind In
nearly all the scientific modes 81
farming. The farmers need to appl,
those methods which bring the bes
results at the least cost.
Much has been said Of the depletion
of the farms and the congestion of tn,
cities in this country. While thes,
conditions may be alarming, they d,
not approach the seriousness Of tn,
conditions in England and Wales.

KNIGHT FIRED
FROM REDMEN
UNANIMOUS ACTION TAKEN LAST
NIGHT-PIcTuRE or ARscoNp-
ING TREASURER WILL BE SENT
TO OFFICIAL oRGAN-oFFIcERs
WERE ELECTED

BY a unanimous action of the Daco-
tab tribe of Red Men of this city last
night, A. M. Knight was expelled from
the order and the chief of records was
directed to send notice of the action,
together with a photograph of Knight,
to the two leading Red Men papers in
the country, with the request that due
notice be made. ....
knight is the absconding chief. of
records and chief of wampum of the
tribe, which can that he was the
secretary treasurer, and disappeared
with the funds Of the tribe several
months ago and has not since been
heard from, and the action was taken
in the hope that If he attempts to
work" any other tribe the publication
Of his wrong doings may prevent it.
The notice to the official papers will
also ask that in ase he is located the
Fargo tribe be at onoe notified. There
was a large meeting of the organiza-
ton last night and a very pleasant
evening was passed, when the follow
ing officers were installed by Past
Sachem Larry Diemert:
Sachem-Wick w. Wood.
Senior Sagamore-Fred Heffner.
Junior Sagamore--P. d. Barth.
Prophet-Isadore Diemert,
Secretary-Larry Diemert.
Keeper of Wampum-John Daugh-
erty.
Past Sachem-Dr. Mallarian.
1t was decided to nave a social
session on the evening of the fourth
Wednesday of next month when a
programme will be given and coffee
and sandwiches, and cakes will be
served. The report of Messrs. Daugh-
erty and Diemert showed that 1.-the
funds of the order were in good shape
and that the two bonding companies,
the Northern Trust of this city and the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty,
have each paid the shortage of Knight
and that the tribe is in fine working
order. The next meeting will be held
on the fourth Wednesday evening of
