Several of the less informed editors
Of the state through the columns Of
their paper have taken occasion tt
shy bricks at the land men, charging
amongst other things that exorbitant
commissions are being charged anC
that prospective settlers are being
overcharged for the land that is being
sold to them.
This charge in some sections of the
state may be true, but in the vast ma
jority of cases, the land men are the
men that are doing the real work OF
advertising the state and bringing In
the land buyers who eventually be-
come permanent settlers, and the
land men are entitled to a profit on
their investments for the work they
do. Thousands of dollars are spent
in the east every year by each Of the
more progressive land firms, on
chance of securing eastern buyers.
and it could hardly be expected that
such expenses as this entails could
be met with a commission of 100 per
acre.
The commercial clubs of some sec.
lions are also taking part in the war
on land men, but we cannot help but
believe that the land men of the state,
should be encouraged by commercial
bodies, rather than discouraged. Sew.
eral towns in the state have attempt.
ed to hold a land auction and in var
ious other ways to attract settlers,
but in every single instance the auc'
tions of land has been a failure,
and the settlers that have really come
and stayed, have been induced to
come to the state directly or indirect
ly through the efforts of some land
agent. 1t is hardly the part Of good
COLlIlIOu ocuoc W MIL Cuc SOOSC LudI
laid the golden egg" and we cannot
help but believe that the land men
who go East and bring West prospec-
tive settlers should be given the
hearty cooperation and support of
the commercial bodies, for after all
when farm has been sold at few
dollars higher than has been obtained
in previous sales in the neighborhood,
a new value or selling price has been
established for other land owners, and
until the land in the state reaches the
500 dollar mark, no person has been
cheated who has invested.

Secretary Alex Kari of the Chau-
tauqua association. is in receipt of a
letter from D. E. Willard, Develop
ment Agent of the Northern Pacific,
and one of the judges of the editorial
competition in connection with the
Chautauqua, which is of special inter-
est. Mr.. Willard this week received
manuscript from Mr.. j. S. Murphy
of Minot, with the request that it be
considered in the chautauqua contest.
Mr.. Murphy is a practical farmer, and
Mr. Willard states that he has sent a
paper of very high quality. The
manuscript cannot, of course, be con-
sidered in the competitor, but the fact
that interest in the contest Is wide
spread enough to interest the farm
ers themselves as we'll as the editors
is very gratifying to the Chautauqua
management, as well as the bankers of
Valley City, and the Mayor, whose
public spirit and liberality made the
competition possible.

turity of corn entered in the contest.
The report in at the present time
indicate that only twenty per cent
of the fields entered In the contest
are under ninety-five per cent ma
ture. This is an exceptional condi-
ton when it is considered that boys
from every section OF the state have
entered this contest, and that the
fields are located not only in the ex-
IRENE northern but also in the ex-
IRENE western section of the state.
An inquiry has been made as to
the number of boys that have select
ed seed corn this year. The reports
now in, show that slightly under
eighty-three per cent have saved seed
corn. If the same proportion OF
farmers in the state have saved seed
corn, at least one half of the corn
acreage of next year will be grown
from home selected seed.
The prospective yields as reported
vary from forty bushels of mature
corn to 100 or ITO bushels per acre.
The yields will be judged the latter
part of this month and the first part
of October. Prizes aggregating 500
in gold have been offered to the win
ners in the contest. In addition, many
of the counties in which contests have
been carried on will offer additional
prizes. The secretary has announced
that all reports as to- condition of the
corn must be in if fields are to be
Judged.

PLEAsURABLE COUNTRY LIFE.

Everyone in this northwest country,
which is close to the farm and de-
pendent on the farm for prosperity,
and even existence, 20 an unusual de.
gree, will agree with Governor Cox
of Ohio and Governor Dunno Of ILL.,
nois, who yesterday declared that the
only solution of the cityward drift
from the farm problem, was to make
country life more attractive. And
while other states are discussing this
problem, North Dakota is going about
it by practical means to make country
life more attractive.
One of the most important features
of the work of the North Dakota Bet
ter Farming association is the forma-
ton of farmers clubs. IN great
many north Dakota counties, and in
scores of communities, these farmers
clubs have already been organized.
They meet to study how to make their
farms give better and surer returns
and how to make their life pleasanter
and in this very act Of meeting they
are solving one phase of the problem,
fhe question of sociability.
There are many other agencies at
work in North Dakota along the same
Zine. The corn, wheat, potato, meat
raising and other contests that are
Becoming so popular throughout the
state, are making farm life more at
aractive by making it more interest
ing. These contests are especially
practical because they interest the
boys and girls, which is all that is
necessary to keep the boys and girls
IN the farm.
Farm life is attractive, where it is
made interesting. It is interesting
when the person on the farm gets
busy working out some problem or
1nds some activity in which he has
competition. Undoubtedly one of the
greatest things that ever happened in
North Dakota was the inauguration of
The contests.
There are other agencies at work in
North Dakota, which are not particu-
hrly indigenous to the state. These
Include the agricultural college, the
farmers institutes, etc.
All these agencies working in har-
mony, are creating new atmosphere
IN the state. There is keener pa
ariotism noticeable in North Dakotans
in the past few years. The people of
ti1e state are beginning to feel, in an
ever increasing degree, that this is
good state in which to settle down and
make a permanent home for life.

HIGH SCHOOL STANDS HIGH.

lue otdte High SCuOOl Inspectors
report of first class State High
schools for the past year reveals the
following information:
1. Valley City High School had a
larger enrolment than any other
school except Fargo and Grand
Forks. IT,.
2. She surpassed all except Fargo
and Grand Forks in the number of
bays enrolled. ....
3. In schools of 100 or over she had
much. the largest percentage of
boys.
4. She was third in the size of her
senior class.
S. She was second in the number
81 nonresident pupils she brought to

9. She was second in the number
Of unit courses offered, and conse.
quently in the elasticity of her cours,
