culture has made the following state

Staticlans have found that although
The average expenditure on the i'm
provement of roads exceeds one mil
lion dollars ii day. a large portion of
the money in the United States is
wasted because of failure to build
the right kind of road to meet the
local requirements or failure to pro-
vide for the continued maintenance
of the improvements.
Maintenance and effective repair
are of equal Importance with the
actual Improvement of bad roads.
Investment of money in new roads
does not become real economy until
provision is made for keeping these
new roads in condition after they are
built. IL new road is built and
then allowed to fall into disrepair,
much of the original investment is
simply wasted. Europe, generally
speaking. is ahead of the United
States III the matter of road improve

North Dakota's record this year
in raising corn has added more
new settlers for the state than any
other one influence. according to i'm
migration officials of the state.
They have made a special canvass of
the situation to determine what in
fiuences are at work in bringing
new residents, aud the answer is,
"Corn!" North Dakota this year
increased its corn acreage by at
least 100000 acres and Don Whore.
secretary of the North Dakota Corn
and Clover Association, Of Grand
Forks, anticipates further increase
next year from three to four hun
dred thousand acres, basing esli-
mates on the number of farmers
A., who have raised their own seed corn
this year and the large number who
have signified their intention OF be-
ginning corn next year. Within the
last two or three years the corn belt
has been steadily pushed northward
until, this year, il has reached the
nost northern counties Of the state.
Corn has matured right under the
international boundary line. some of
the finest fields in the state being
found in these northern districts.
The interest farmers have taken in
raising their own seed corn has been
the greatest factor in adding new
acreage to the world corn growing
region. This new corn has been
grown to mature within the shorter
summer season of the more north
ern cline, and this year test has
proven to be exceptionally satisfac-
tory. immigration records this
year will be the greatest in several
seasons. Most Of the new settlers
are purchasing developed lands, and
they are farmers whose previous ex-
perience has been in states where
diversified methods have been en-
ployed. The fact means the i'm
provement of North Dakota farms
an scientific basis. while diversi-
hcati0n of interests will do away
with the old-time one-crop system
that was adopted by farmers of the
earlier stages Of the states deveI-
opment.

SOLIDIFYING THE SOIL
Packing Has Appreciate Effect
Upon Moisture Movement.

By L. D. WALDRoN, Superintendent
Dickinson, N. D.. Satisfactory.
Packing or solidifying the soil has
very appreciable effect upon the
movement of the soil moisture. In
the movement OF capillary water 1t ia
absolutely necessary that the soil par
ticles be very close together. The
flow of capillary water is increased
by reducing the spaces between the
soil grains. or by packing the soil.
King has shown that with the use
Of an ordinary fat roller. the mois-
ture of the soil may be affected to the
depth of 81 inches. The first effect of
rolling, by increasing the capillary
movement of water, lis to cause the
upper layer Of soil to become wetter
and the lower layers to become drier.
If, after rolling. the surface of the
ground is allowed to remain firm, the
movement Of the water continues I'M
til the whole soil column becomes
drier than 1t was before rolling. Roll
Ing the soil. then. increases the sur
face moisture at the expense of the
moisture in the deeper layers, and
finally decreases the moisture in the
entire column.
The practice is only allowable in
semi-arid regions when moisture
from the sub.surface can be spared
for the use of the top surface or
when capillary connection with tho
unplowed soil is to be made II the
subsoil Is comparatively dry, 1t may
be very bad practice to reduce its
water supply. 1t should not be for.

nuts during the last fiscal year
Fruits exported are chiefly apples,
prunes. apricots. raisins and oranges,

Through the decision of the supreme
court given yesterday on the Day bill
the arrangements for
The Special special election to be
Election to held in this state in No
BE Held. vember for the purpose
of voting on referred
bills is upheld. At the special cleo
ton the people will be called upon to
pass judgment on several referred
measures, conspicuous among the
number being the University of Ore
gon appropriation and the workmans
compensation act.
Whatever the legal aspects of the
case may be there is much merit in
the plan for the special election to
dispose OF these matters A weak
point about the referendum frequent
ly is that when measure is held for
action of the people the delay is in
furious. Take the case of the univer-
sity Were it impossible to vote on
the appropriation at the special cleo
ton the school would have to undergo
two years of suspence and have no
use of the money voted by the legis-
lature. The institution is entitled to
an earlier decision.
The true purpose of the referendum
is to give the people the opportunity to
review acts of the legislature not to
work inconvenience through mere de-
lay. The plan of a special election for
consideration of referred bills is one
way of thwarting those who might
refer a bill to cause embarrassment
through delay and not with expecta-
ton of having the legislative action re-
versed. Probably none of the pres
ent measures were held up for such
a purpose but the referendum has
been so used in the past

ments as one and the same.
Yet there is vast difference in the
philosophy Of the / w w ani of the
socialist. The socialist believes in law,
the I. w w. in anarchy. The social
ist is a would be economic reformer
and he has already seen many social
istis ideas adopted. The I. w. w. up
holds syndicalism which as attempted
by Haywood and his followers is moth
ing short of brigandage. The idea is
to harass an industry to such an ex-
tent that the owners will eventually
give 1t up 10 the workers. Syndical-
ism is not sound philosophy for II
followed out it would bring turmoil
and disaster and the workers would
gain nothing. II private industry
world will turn to socialism not to
syndicalism.
In an editorial yesterday the Ore
gon Journal discussing this subject
said:
There is not the slightest relation
between syndicalism and socialism,
There is no common bond between
tie program of direct action and sa-
botage on the one hand and real So
cialism on the other.
The head in the l. w. w. is William

his relation with the true body Of So
cialists. He has no standing in the
