AN ECONOMIC QUESTION.

Has it occurred to our Louisiana
farmers that with the raw material at
hand for producing corn fed beef and
pork, sufficient to supply the needs OF
our State, we are paying more for i'm
ported beef and pork than the entire
value of our corn crop each year?
The appalling extravaganza practlced
in slaughtering young cattle, partlcu-
larly heifer calves, should be stopped.
Every farmer should make 1t point to
raise and fdtten for market one steer or
more each year.
An economic question is here involved
which has not only to do with present
profits, but with the conserving OF the
fertility of the soil.
1t has been brought to our attention
by Mr.. Mason SnoWden Of the Federal
Farm demonstration Department that
there is scarcely a grocery store in Our
State but is selling meal and grits
made of western corn, when within the
next few weeks our planters will be
seeking market for their surplus
corn.
Every locality which has been proven
a surplus corn producing territory
should have sufficient local pride ant
business acumen to form a meal ant
grits milling company, and supply TIL
local and district trade with Loulsian;
. made meal and grits.

on one Of the biggest and most diff.

ANOTHER APPEAL FOR HOUSES.

That the question of houses for the
incoming rush OF people desiring to
rnake their homes in this city, IS not
only strenuous but very serious, can
not be denied. Every day there are
families coming to the city demand
ing house room, but cannot be supplied.
Ktkun ihe, past week t~wenty'elsh'
barnes from out OF town have applied
to one agency begging for houses, and
have been turned away. What does
this mean? Nothing short Of a re
tarding of the growth OF the city. for
unless something is done soon to re-
lieve the situation the reputation or
the city for shortage Of houses Will
become so thoroughly advertised and
rents will become so high as to give
the town a backset which it will be
hard to overcome. For instance the
big machinery houses are centerlnS
here making this headquarters for
western North Dakota and eastern
Montana. each OF these brings a
number Of families and as its bust
ness increases it will bring more fami-
les. Just now several OF these big
institutions are arranging to bring
their collection departments to this
city in order that that. department
may be nearer the sales departments,
and each will carry with 1t several
families. Every branch Of business is
developing at a rate which will actu-
ally surprise and astonish the person
who takes time to consider the de-
tails. The residence question is not
given consideration and as a conse-
quence is not by any means keeping
pace with the other developmets Of
the city.
1t must be borne in mind that the
great majority of the people who are
arriving now are salaried employees.
Their salaries are good, and they are
good spenders, and the gaining OF
their presence in the city should be
given serious consideration. Every
institution would profit. The business
men of Bismarck could well afford to
erect a large number Of houses in
~ H.. ,L .1.-,, -,,o ,,n
profit from the investment, for they
would profit from the increase OF
BUSINESS due to the Immigration.
Really something should be done.

SIGNING BILLS

Governor Hanna has a hard task
ahead of him in the disposing of the
appropriation bills that have beer
been left up to him. The fact that
he is not given the authority to pare
any OF he bills but if he wants to
keep the state within its resources
must III entire appropriations makes
the task doubly hard.
The legislature has attempted to
spend a good many thousands of dol
lars that it does not posses and it is
up to the governor now to cut the
amount to where North Dakota will
be able to take care Of it. But the
| people have every confidence that the
governor will choose the wise way,
that he will cut out the appropriations
for things that can most easily be
dispensed with, some Of the things
that are not absolutely necessary at
this time. X
The people OF the state have seen
how he has gone along during the
session while there was disscsion and
strife On every hand. He has done
what he thought was for the best Of
the people at every turn and events
as they are working out have. proven
that he was invariably right in the
stand he took.
In fact, Ill spite of the harping Of a
few critics who have grievances
against most everything the course of
the governor has met with general
approval, and whatever action he
takes OF the appropriation bills will
be acceptable to the great majority
of the people.
