FINANCIAL SITUATION.

-He.EE .FN-Htr eeE.HH H
There Is always much Of interest in
the report OF Henry clews & Co. Of
New York. even though one does not
have quite the same point Of view as
the writer thereof. The following is
an extract from the last report of this
well known firm:
The first week of the new year
showed a slight betterment in both
financial and commercial sentiment.
The Improvement was not so much OBJ
servable in any increase in the volume
Of business as in the recognition Of the
fact that. while conditions are con-
hieting and in some respects unsatis-
factory, corrective forces are steadily
at work. Here and there are signs of
abatement in general unrest which is
beginning to show itself in a more
rational attitude in political circles
toward large corporations. The only
exception is a fresh outbreak Of the
investigation mania in form of an in
quiry regarding the alleged money
trust" While trusts and the tariff are
still the first subjects OF Importance in
the public mind, tho chances Of their
being reasonably dealt with are much.
better than three or six months ago.
No radical action on trusts is probable
during the present session of congress,
which will be chiefly devoted to ac-
tive and possibly somewhat heated dis
cussion. There is, however, some
prospect of positive action on the tariff
question, the greatest likelihood being
a sharp cut in the steel schedules and
the placing Of iron ore on the free list.
As for cotton and wool schedules, these
also may be revised, but at the mo-
ment it looks as if steel would come
first. The labor outlook is somewhat
uncertain, but the sorry disclosures
connected with the Mcnamara cases
have had a SOLDERING effect upon labor,
and are likely to result in the selection.
of a higher type of leadership in the
future; a result which would benefit
labor and capital alike by moderating
class warfare and facilitating settle
ment of the differences between en-
ployer and employee by discussion and
not force. The issues Of the presiden-
tial campaign are now sharply defined,
and their outcome "a already be
foreseen. Public sentiment
is pretty definitely formed, and the
chief doubt regarding the future is that
of personality concerning the different
candidates. This, Of course, may re-
main unsettled until the conventions
next summer although it is not i'm
possible that the successful nominees
will be correctly guessed at in advance.

WIRELESS IN THE ARMY

New York American: The rapid adj
vances made by wireless are nowhere
more evident than in the service of the
United States government. Under the
army operators it's usefulness has
steadily increased. until now it is pro-
posed to abolish the telegraph in Alas
ka in favor of the newer method.
General Allen says 1t is no longer
unusual for an operator in Kansas to
pick UP a message being exchanged
between two stations in the tropics,
or for a Texas operator to get one sent
between two stations on the North At
lantic coast.
At Fort Meyer the newest station IS
now being erected, with three towers
one of which is to be 500 feet high,
with a radius of not less than 1000
rifles.

TUESDAY JAN. 9, 1912.
A FEW $.

The census bureau shows that the
Size Of North Dakota farms Increased
from an average of 343 acres in 1900
to 3a2 acres in 1910, but the average
value raised from 1851 to S18,1o9-
more than $50 per cent. In proper
methods of cultivation and diversity of
crops are followed the increase will be
even greater during the coming decade
than during the last. What is there
better to own than North Dakota re-
Slty?
In live stock. horses. swine and poul-
try each increased over 200 per cent,
while cattle only gained IL per cent
and sheep decreased 81 per cent. The
reason for the light increase in cattle
Is the discontinuance of the ranges Of
The west; dairy COWS increased in
number, but the gain should be even
greater during the coming ten years.
Poultry is credited with a value Of
81, 500, 900, and there is no reason WHY.
thea moun should not be ten times as
great. The hen is a wealth producer
on the farm when properly cared for.
OF the cereals, corn, oats and barley
show h greatest increases, and he
former will undoubtedly gain even
more during the years to come. as it is
destined to be one of the stable and
best crops of the state.
There is one marked feature which
will attract the attention Of the east
ern farmer n that is the fact that
only $10.O08 were spent for fertilizers
in the entire state. a decrease of So
s55 in ten years. The eastern culti-
vator Of the soil counts his fertilizer
cost as the largest item in his farm
budget.
Figures are said to be dry, but there
is a vast amount of interesting read
ing in the census bulletins, and it does
one good to dig into these report n
see what the government says of ones
state.

FARMING

In connection with the movement in
this state for better farming, it is in
teresting to note what is being accom-
plished elsewhere. North Dakota
with her great fertility and all her
natural advantages cannot and will
not take a step backward. 1t is up to
the people of this state to obtain the
yield per acre which should be pro-
duced by proper methods. If you do
not like the ann in which this work
is being undertaken, propose something
better. Help it along anyway. Sug-
gestions are wanted and will be acted
upon.
The Atlanta Georgian has the fol-
lowing editorial ON the work Of the
National Soil Fertility league, which is
worthy of careful perusal:
"A farm demonstrators in every
agricultural county in the United
States is the slogan of the National
Soil Fertility league, an organization of
prominent Americans, whose purpose
is to induce the federal government
and the states to appropriate jointly
enough money to translate the slogan
into reality.
Is the undertaking a worthy one and
would it's accomplishment justify the
outlay of money that would be re-
CURED?
Let the results of farm demonstra-
ton already achieved answer.
These are summarized in the annual
report of DIR. B. L. Galloway, chief of
the federal bureau of plant industry,
under whose supervision the work is
carried On. According to his report
the average yield of cotton on demon
stration farms during the past season
was SO per cent higher than the aver
age yield elsewhere. In addition to
this, in the boil weevil infested dis
tricts the demonstrators were able to
raise profitable crops, notwithstanding
the presence of the pest, and the meth
DDS they use are being rapidly adopted
by the neighboring farmers.
The yield of corn, too. was raised SO
per cent above the ordinary level.
the report thus sets forth what may
be termed the b~y-products of the dem
~onstration work.
1T has brought about widespread
interest and greatly increased. practice
in maintaining soil fertility by legum-
nous crops, a greatly increased ten
dency to grow home supplies and make
| cotton the cash crop, nearly twice as
! large sales of improyed marbinarv In
the south in the past year as in any
previous year, and a great increase in
the number of pure bred stock intro
duced and grown"
All this has been accomplished with
demonstrators in comparatively a
small number of counties. What can
be accomplished with a demonstrates
in every farming county in the union
may easily be imagined. Decidedly, 1t
would he worth while.

Early Banking at Washington.

st. Joseph Gazette: 1t is stated that
there is in the Riggs bank at Wash
ington, d. c., a promissory note sign
ed by Henry Clay and indorsed by
Daniel Webster for $500, and that it
Is unpaid. The story runs that the
bank would not take the personal note
OF either without an Endorsement but
that it finally accepted a note signed
by both. An interesting sidelight is
thrown upon the standing of the two
gentlemen in banking circles by the
statement that Clay divided the money
equally with Webster, the latter being
as much in need of money as the form
er.
