farm METHODS
ARE ADVOCATED
Especial to the Tribune)

GRAFTON, N. D., April 1S.-Tons
OF literature advocating diversified
farming, thousands of speeches along
the same lines, personal appeals by
hundreds of workers and other ef-
forts have been made in the Red river
valley to get the farmers to change
their methods from the one-crop
wheat idea to something else. The
great difficulty has been that the old
err farmers were accustomed to the
easier methods of agriculture and
did not want to take up stock rails
ing and dairying because of the more
strenuous efforts it would demand.
At last, however, the literature, ad-
dresses and appeals are beginning to
have their effect. In Walsh county
dairying and beef cattle raising are
rapidly coming to the front. This
spring there have been many import
ations of high bred cattle Of both the
dairy and beef types and more re-
Gently high class, thoroughbred draft
horses are being imported for breed.

GOLD MEDAL FOR GOOD ROADS.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Lokan Waller Page,
Dire tor, Office of Public Roads, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, d. C. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page be-
fore May Is, 1913, and the medal will
be awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions a be graded. The
composition may be based on knowl-
edge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be
made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa.
ton OF the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads is
as much the cause of their bad con
dltlon as any other one factor. 1t is
expected that the competition will
bring about a better understanding
of the subject of repair and main
tenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper maintenance
an it is expected that their interest

Were it not for the haunting fear
OF an increase in anti-resubmission
sentiment, the prohibitionists oil
North Dakota would be happier. New
or since statehood have they had such
perfect control OF the situation in
North Dakota as at present.
The enactment Of the Webb law
by congress, prohibiting the shipment
Of LIQUOR into the state except for
personal use, is the big reason for re-
joicing among the prohibitionists.
That law will make it so difficult for
blindpiggers and other %viOlators to
secure their supplies that that form
Of sales will be minimized.
One of the greatest worries to the
cnfOrcers of the law in the past has
been the bootlcggers. This class, a
lower grade ever than the b%lindpig-
gers, and usually transient, was diff
cult to control. The penalty up till
recently "a the same for them as
for the blindpiggers, a minimum sem
tence of ninety days in Jail and a 5000
fine for the first offense and a peni-
Tertiary sentence for second conyic-
tons. The last legislature made the
penalty for bootleggers for the first
and subsequent ~offenses a sentence
to the %penitentiary and that is expect.
ed to repress the tendencies of some
Of the former bootleggers.
Many of the Judges of the state re.
refuse to issue druggists permits in
their districts. In the districts in
which they are issued Superintendent
Watkins is making life a burden for
the druggists who violate the law re-
garding the number of sales. Many
are forced to surrender their permits.
In some cases ven after that prose.
cutlon follows. This is reducing the
places at which liquor can be secured
to such a limited number temperance
must be practiced regardless Of the
personal wishes Of the public.
The prohibition workers would nat
urally feel greatly elated over their
thorough control Of the situation at
present were it not for the possibility
that the very completeness Of that
control is likely to Great e%anti.resub-
III is sion sen timent. That is their only
fear. The men who have for years
! advocated resubmission are rather
pleased with the situation and insist
,s~their~~yiews would be more generally
adopted if the Webb law prevented
all shipments into North Dakota, as
then the men who are accustomed
to send away for jugs, and still vote
for prohibition, would then either be
compelled to change their views or
entirely cut out drinking.
