RURAL SCHOOLS BEST SCHOOLS

The following from The Northwest
Farmstead is particularly applicable
to North Dakota: .a.
With the opening of the fall term
of schools, colleges and universities,
remember this: that while there is lots
Of room for Improvement some of our
states now have the best system of
agricultural education of any country
in the world. So says Kenyon l..
Butterfield, and he knows from ac-
tual experience at home and abroad,
His opinion is ours.
Now, on this splendid foundation,
how easy it will be to make every
rural school the best school. Then,
such schools, together with colleges
and universities, should be linked I'm
with farm fairs, exhibitions, farmers
institutes and short course schools,
county demonstrators, advisers, etc.
Then each individual farmer and every
organization of farm folks can get the
full benefit of the whole educational
system, while our boys and girls are
being properly fitted for efficiency in
life.
This will make the agriculture of the
near future marvelously interesting
and profitable, while country life will
be the healthiest as well as the most
attractive form Of existence.

ley to their nesting ground in Mime

Hunters should not become confus-
ed over the provisions of this law and
the state laws. The federal law does
not in any way conflict with state
game laws, but 1t does In some in
stances enlarge on them. For instance.
the North Dakota law provides that
the season open Sept. 7 for prairie
chickens, and the fact that the federal
law opens the season Sept. / does not
mean that the season will open in this
state until the later date. The North
Dakota law is enlarged, however, by
the provision of the federal law, that
birds must not be shot between sun
set and sunrise.

NORTH DAKOTA A BIG STATE.

The Forum recently received a let
ter from a farmer in which the paper
was criticized for publishing an alleg-
ed erroneous crop report. The writer
made the criticism, that the man who
sat in an office in the city and said
that North Dakota would harvest a
fair crop this year was an ignoramus
and did not know what he was talk
ing about. This farmer said that, the
crop was burned up" and he mad
some very e~xtravagant statements
about the ruin that was wrought in
'the crop throughout the state.
The Forum made a quiet investiga-
ton and found, that this man lived in
a district where for a few miles, there
had been very little rain. There was
a strip about six or eight miles wide
and perhaps twenty miles long, which
had been missed by most of the
showers which visited the state this
year.
. Further 1t was found that this man
had disced his wheat into stubble and
lHlS pOOE CULTIVATION. NSllApIAiStl Will
the lack of rain in his particular dis
trict, left him with a crop hardly
worth harvesting.
There is no desire on the part OF
this paper to criticise the man for
discing in his wheat. It Is possible
and probable that this was the only
thing that he could do. under his
particular circumstances. But it is a
fact that some of his neighbors who
put their crop in right, are harvesting
wheat that is running from fifteen to
twenty bushels to the acre, which can
scarcely be called a crop failure.
Further, this man is judging the
entire crop of North Dakota from his
own little district, where there has
been a lack Of rain.
The statement that the man h
sits in an office in the city, does not
know the actual conditions. sounds
like a perfectly legitimate criticism,
but is it? North Dakota is a mighty
big state and a mar in an office. who
has his finger on every part of the
state. through the big army of reli-
able Forum correspondents may have
a far clearer and truer conception of
the actual conditions of the whole
state. than the man who has a more
intimate knowledge of only one Sec
ton.
The Forum insists that it's cor
respondents, in giving news of every
nature-and this is particularly true
of crop reports-be very conservative,
and it believes that it's prediction that
North Dakota will harvest nearly 1OO,-
600, 900 bushels of wheat will be borne
out by the actual figures when they
are available.

THE NATIONAL GAME LAW

A stringent game law has been
enacted by the federal government for
the protection of migratory birds
which becomes effective Oct. /. 1918,
and those who have been in the habit
of shooting these birds will now have
to content themselves with shooting
some other kind.
What regulations there will be for
carrying put this law will be made by
the: department Of agriculture which
has been authorized to employ what
ave means for the enforcement Of the
law as nay be necessary.
The friends of these birds, who were
the promoters of the law passed for
their protection. used in their argu-
ments in behalf of the passage Of the
law that in 1912 the various state
STATUTES made more than fifty separ-
ate seasons for shooting and that the
migratory birds had for that reason
tosface the perils of a perpetual open
Beason-that is, a season that was an
open one throughout the entire year
htasome point in the country. There
was no place of escape for these birds.
They had no place of refuge. They
had no protection.
Conditions are now changed. In the
provisions of this law the country has
been divided into two zones for the
principal natural groups, one to in
clude the states in which the birds
breed and the other those where they
winter. In the first are the states ly-
ing north of the fortieth parallel and
the, Ohio river. The other states are
south of that parallel and west of the
Ohio. This will make two seasons in
stead of half a hundred. The open
seafon in the first zone is from Sept.
iintil Dec. is; In the second from
Oct / to Jan. f6. though In Maryland.
Virginia and the Carolinas it is from
Nov. 1 to Feb. /.
An interesting feature of the law is
that II prohibits all shooting between
the hours of sunset and sunrise
hunters must not shoot the birds pro-
fected in this law after sunset and
before sunrise.
This lis done to allow the birds to
regss in peace at night and to feed in
peace In the early morning.
Some people win say this is a dras-
ticspproyision. but there is another
feature Of the law which ii more
drastic than this. but in view of the
fact that the migratory birds are EAST
disappearing, II can not be establish
