oughly bad, as the greatest crying
need of our day is that all should
know the actual evil condition great
masses of our people are living under.
The majority of our people are good;
they love justice and can be depend
ed upon to render. a just verdict on
any question they thoroughly under
stand, and it is a pity that such men
as Deneen should use his prestige to
influence people into thinking all are
prosperous.
How many men,. how many wo-
men, how many children are there in
this glorious, prosperous country to-
day who are two weeks or less from
starvation? Does Mr.. Deneen know?
If he does not he is an ignoramus; if
he does he is a hypocrite. Mr.. De-

is not now, and never has been, fit

Editor Day Book:
The Unftness of mothers of de-

Organized Charity is in my opin-
ion all caused by poverty.
The Mothers Pension Law recent
Iy enacted by the legislature of eigh-
teen states will, to a great extent,
make the unfit mother fit because
the pension removes the cause of her
Unftness, which is her poverty.
It is the common observation that
the very fine and very fit mother be-
comes comparatively unfit to take
care of her children after a few years
of hopeless struggle with poverty.

Ex-GoV.. Dement'S GRAFTON ON
THE FOURTH OF juicy

Editor Day Book: . .
l should like space in The Day
Book to comment on some of the re
marks made by Ex-Gov. C. S. Deneen
at the Fourth of July celebration
given under the auspices of the
Young Mems Club at Highland Park
last Friday evening. In order to i'm
press on his hearers how great and
glorious a country this is he dwell at
length on our great prosperity and on
our expansion in annexing Cuba, the
Philippine Islands, Hawaii, etc. 1t
may be a glorious thing for us to have
expanded to the extent that we have
and then again it may not. The ma
jority of us are not well enough in
formed on such matters, but the
worst kind of a dub knows that the
prosperity talk is ninety per cent
gUsh. The Ex-Governor was very
careful not to mention that the great
prosperity he was talking about ex-
lists for a very small minority only.
Long hours, low wages, high cost of
living, etc, he very carefully avoided.
A Fourth of July Grafton should
have something in it about human
freedom, and human freedom can
not be intelligently discussed with
out also discussing human slavery.
Did the Hon. Ex-Governor say any
thing about the human slavery of
every description now existing? He
did not. Why didn't he? Does he
not know anything about it; is he in
different or ashamed that so much
human misery should exist after such
a long period of Republican gentle
men in office? I believe myself he
was ashamed to mention the condi-
lions actually existing among the
toilers of the land. 1 know I would
be if had made such a fiat, miserable
failure of my use of the powers of
government as he and his kind have.
Mr.. Deneen sees this thing from the
viewpoint of the ten per cent of our

The first annual report of Secretary
Thomas Cooper of the Better Farm
ing association of North Dakota Was
made public yesterday. The report is
very complete and shows the results
obtained during the past year. Lack
published in full. but every farmer
a obtain a copy by addressing Mr..
Cooper at Fargo.
After outlining the purposes Of the
association and conditions in the state
MI. Cooper says:
The Problem.
The problems of the agricultural
sections of the state are to a great
extent economic and social rather then
the immediate question of production.
Under the systems Of farming which
have been developed the North Dako-
ia farmer has become expert in the
production of the small grains cheap
~. Farmers generally are we'll ac-
quainted with the methods of agr.-
culture which will enable them to
produce crops. They are not familiar.
however, with the methods Of farm
management required under other sys.
tens of farming, or where new crops
and live stock are to be used. Much
additional knowledge is necessary.
The fundamental problem then, on
sists in %arousing action among farm
ers and the public to such an extent
that new systems OF farming, new
crops and live stock will be generally
adopted. This necessitates the crea-
tion OF a new sentiment toward our
farm lands, and toward the farm as
II permanent source Of wealth and Of
income. Briefly, the basic agricul-
tural problems confronting the work
of this association may be classified
as. first, the maintenance of the fer
tility of the soil. involving new CROP
ping systems m the use Of live
stock: second. the introduction and
general use of new economic crops.
such as c%lovers, alfalfa, winter grain.
and corn; third, the business reorgani-
zation of the farm for greater profits;
fourth, the farm home, its surround
ings. and the social features that per-
tain to a progressive and c%ontented
rural population. This broad classi-
fication of the agricultural problems
of the state includes the forms Of
agricultural activity which have foc
their purpose the direct development
of permanent. stable and systematic
agricultural practices.
The Plan of Work.
The agricultural problems are 50
broad n far reaching that a COM
prehensive plan Of development must
touch the very foundations OF the
economic and social life Of the agri-
cultural sections of the state. In for
mulating the work 1t has been clearly

PEER GYNT N
HIS REAL LIFE
Hero of Ibscn's Play Was a Real
Persona Man Of Wealth.

Catherine b. Groth in the Crafts.
man: While all these old houses are
haunted with traditions. the cottage
that belonged to Peer Gynt, the hero
OF lbsen's drama, is naturally most
romantic of all. His cottage has two
stories and was built at the end Of
the sixteenth century. Peer Gynt was
a real person. and lived sometime in
the seventeenth century at From. He
was q mighty and powerful man and
very wealthy. But he was peculiar:
inasmuch as he had a beautiful house
and land, he preferred to live in this
little cottage. n he liked to wander
of for weeks at a time. being out in
all kinds Of weather. This had given
him the habit of half-closing his eyes.
to gyme as they called 1t. and on ac-
count OF this mannerism he was dub
bed "Gynt."
Peer Gynt was q great hunter and
fisher, and when he returned from his
expeditions he had the strangest
stories to tell. The most wonderful
things happened to him, some of
which 1bsen has recorded and embel-
lished. Sometimes he would meet
with long bridal professions and hear
wonderful music. and q beautiful girl,
green dress. a huldre, would speak of
love. too
Sometimes he would pretend to lis
ten to her. but he would always escape
at the last moment. The huldre are
weird underworld people, and yet have
farms and chalets Just like human be-
ings. The girls arc always fair and
young, given to enticing mortal men
into the underworld. And once there.
escape is impossible.
The huldre women. although more
beautiful than other women. have one
defect-a cows tail. which they al
ways try to hide. but which usually
manages to trail on the ground below
their skirts. And that gives them
away.
huldre often set their traps for him.
Once he was out fishing. for instance.
The water was full Of flsh: 1t looked
almost az though he could pick them
up with his hands. But not one would
bite. A. he sat there. Cross and az
gravated he heard someone giggle
back of him. In the woods. It was q
huldre. And Peer understood that
she had prevented the fish from bit

and laughed in his face. At last he

and he caught lots Of tish and the next
day he stayed home.

her feet.
"Ah. now I've got you." he shouted.

The Yields II the demonstration plats and fields a obtained

harrison. one years time is insufficient in which to obtain results
from systematic rotations and tnage methods. The results of rota-
rmn and better tulage methods will not be developed for a period
of from three t. five years. Any increase in the GRO yields that
has been obtained this year has been due solely to better thlase
methods better varieties of grain. O the use OF better seeds and
to the extremely favorable year for crop production.
The results of demonstration work have already been reelected
in the desire of many farmers to adopt some form of rotation 10

en- tho value of a rotation. but the rotations adopted for use o. the
different farms appear so logical that already farmers are prepar-
ing to adopt them bodily on the entire farm. No standard form OF
rotation has been adopted. Varying conditions Of soil. altitude and
climate have presented different problems The effort has been
made TO consider each individual case and to adopt a system OF
cropping that would fit its need. So far a possible. clover and
timothy have been made Use of a s the grass crop. The farm ma
nures have been applied o sod O r to the corn ground.
The methods of cultivation and tllage recommended by the
field agents have been such, a $ We're capable of adoption o. the en-,
tire farm. The economies of the farm have been kept in mind
and the application of labor limited to the amount. that would
prove profitable. Generally speaking the extra Of farming
land under the direction of the association associate has been approximately

The preparation of the fields this year consisted principally in
thorough methods of tilage and compactng the seed bed before
the SEED was sown and in some areas a farther narrowing or the
use of the weeder O aid in holding moisture and to reduce the
number Of weeds. The results of the year would indicate that

Considering the yields az obtained, the average of a large number
of fields under demonstration in all sections of the state and under
varied conditions. showed an increased yield sufficient to pay the
extra cost incurred several times over.
