Burleson Order
Widened It's Scope.

"A"u A'S oeoPe' the first and
second zones from eleven to twenty
pounds. and reducing the rates to cents
for the first pound and / cent for each
additional pound. This order also extend
ed the service in these two zones to fresh
meats when properly wrapped.
The full Significance and the posi-
bilities of this order have not yet
dawned upon the country. Under it a
man may ship twenty-pound dressed
turkey TO a customer 150 miles away
for an advance of 1-5 cents a pound
In otlrer words. a Thanksgiving turkey
usually finds its way into the city
dealers market basket at an advance
of about 10 cents a pound over the
price the farmer received. The pro-
ducer and the consumer would. brought
into touch with each other, have
nearly cents pound to divide be-
tween them as extra profit for the
farmer and as saving for the con-
Sumer.
The one weak clement in the situa-
tion is the difficulty of producer and
consumer getting together and bride-
ing the pr1ce-ralsinS gap between them.
n number of suggestions have been
made as to how this may be overcome.
One is that the Post Office Department
issue d monthly publication contain
ing a directory of all the farmers who
would like to ship direct to city con-
sumers copies thereof to be Furnished d
to city consumers at a price sufficient
to cover the expense.
Another suggestion proposes that in
dividual enterprises shall take up the
work in each city of compiling a list
of all the farmers within q radius OF
| $50 miles who would like to sell prod
| uce to consumers direct, charging each
| farmer a small fee for the insertion Of
| his card, and then selling copies Of the
catalogue to consumers.
/ Still another suggestion is that news
| papers which make speciality of
small ad business open up department
of parcel post advertisements, where
| ia l.n1ers may insert two three line
ads for a month at reasonable rate
| The service n newspaper could thus
| render its readers, most of whom would
like to find good farmers to deal with
| yo,1d he so great that the paper tea
| turine il might find the growth IN
i'circulation more than paying the wa!
| of the department.

Anent the Labouchere Case.
The publication by Lord Eversley. a
former member of Mr.. Gladstone's cabi-
net of the circumstances under which the
government refused the post of minister
at Washington to Henry Labouchere has
caused a good deal of talk in political
circles.
AS is well known, Queen Victoria re-
fused to have Mr.. Labouchere among her
advisers. He was consequently barred
from cabinet rank. just as have been
other clever men for having made slips
or having faults which the sovereign or
the day refused to overlook. Mr.. Labou-
chere always posed a man who never
sought office. but Lord Eversley shows
that he did ask Lord Rosebery. then
secretary of state for foreign affairs, for
the Washington post. and because he
did not get il never forgave his old po-
litical ally. although. as it turns out the
cabinet and not Lord Rosebery refused
to make the appointment.
Lord RoSebery brought the matter to
the attention of the cabinet by reading
a letter from Labouchere, in which the
latter said that not having been admitted
TO the new government. and feeling the
advance of years. he had no wish to
remain longer in the house of commons
He added that if he remained his busi-
ness would be. as it always had been. to
attack the existing government. and 1t
was therefore to the interest of minis
ters that he should withdraw He had
been thinking over what was possible
for him as a justification for giving up
his seat and had come to the conclusion
that the post best suited for him was
that OF minister at Washington. Lord
Rosebery said that if the cabinet was in
favor of the appointment he. as foreign
minister. would acquiesce. The cabinet.
however. decided against the appoint
ment. and Lord EverSley expresses the
belief that the attacks on Lord Roseberry
which appeared in Truth thereafter were
made because Labouchere believed that
Lord Rosebery was responsible for the
refusal of the appointment.

Detained to Protect Ell Paso.

The 2i Cavalry previously had been or
dered to proceed to Fort Ethan Allen,
VT, and its temporary detention in Texas
is due to representations by Texan con-
Sressmen that a large force of troops
was necessary for the protection of Ell
Paso.
At the War Department it is stated that
the date of the departure of the 9Th Cav
airy from the Arizona forts will depend
on the time of the arrival there of the
10th Cavalry, now at Fort Ethan Allen
VT, which will make the trip from
New York to Galveston by water and to
Arizona by rail. 1t is calculated at the
War Department that the 10th Cavalry
will reach its destination about the middle
of December, and that it will take the
9Th Cavalry less than a week to make
the railroad trip from Arizona to its new
quarters at Fort Myer. Va: Fort Sheri-
dan. Ill. and Fort Leavenworth Kan
Due Christmas Week.
In that case the troopers of the 9TH Cav
airy should reach their new quarters dur
ing Christmas week. 1t is admitted at the
War Department, however, that these
plans will be Cancelled if conditions in
Mexico reach a point calling for active
operations on the part of the United
States Army.

end got rather liberal rate for handling
the parcels. The average haul amounted

Getting ready to install Il nationwide

after the enactment of the law was no

guides. 12o,oo tape lines and $1,000 pairs
of scales. Each of these items had to
be further increased after the service
went into effect.

into operation that important changes

mitted the extension of the special de-
livery service to the parcel post, thus al
lowing the user to hasten the delivery of
his parcels. The next important step
created {. o. D. service for the system,
permitting patron to send d package
collect and to have the money returned
to him by affiXnS 10 cents extra in
stamps. This permits a farmer to send
his city customer ham or several dress
ed chickens c. o. d. by parcel post. and
once the farmer learns how to advertise
his wares and the consumer to look for
his advertisements. this feature of the
service will be the most appreciated
among many.
The next departure of great Importance
made in the extension of the idea was
the abolition of the distinctive parcel post
stamp and the provision that any posta ge
stamps would be honored on parcels go
ing through the mails. Then followed an
order permitting the insurance of par
cells for a fee of > cents OIL packages val

The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-02-18

That land value in North Dakota
made the astounding gain of 2S1.9
per cent in the ten years from 1900 to
1910 is the fact made public in a bull
letin just received in Fargo from the
United States census bureau. The
bulletin is entitled Agriculture in
North Dakota and gives the complete
agricultural statistics for the state
and it's counties. as shown by the
census of 1910.
The bulletin is filled with interesting
facts and figures for North Dakotans,
some of the most vital of which are
given herewith. In part the bulletin
says:
= OF the states entire land area some
what more than three-fifths is in
farms. The proportion of land in
farms, however, varies considerably in
the different counties, ranging from
1872 per cent in Mckenzie county to
95,5 per cent in Trail county. With
few exceptions those counties which
have more than so per cent of their
land in farms lie in the eastern half Of
the state, which contains several coun-
ties in which the percentage in farms
exceeds 90.
The average value Of farm land per
acre for the whole state Is $3.50. In
practically all the counties in the west
ern two-thirds OF the state the average
value is between $40 and $25 per acre,
while in the eastern third of the state
the average value of farm land Is gem
orally between $25 and $50 per acre.
Between 1900 and 1910 there was an
increase of sos per cent In the popu-
lation OF the state, of 64 per cent In
the number of farms, and of 82.9 per
cent in the acres Of farm land. The
average size OF the farms increased
39.4 acres, or Ills per cent.
The aggregate value of farm prop
erty has increased during the decade
$719, 9,547, 900, and was nearly four times
as great as in 1900. This increase Is
chiefly made up OF the increases Of
1857, ,028,000 in the value OF land and
Of $66,S4s,000 in the value of buildings
There is also an increase OF $95, ,671, ,000
in the value of farm equipment, In
cluding implements and machinery and
livestock, of which more than two
thirds represents gain in the value
of livestock. and the remainder the in
crease in the value OF implements and
machinery. In considering the in
crease Of values In agriculture the gem
eral increase in the prices of all COM
modities in the last ten years should
be borne in mind.
The average value of a farm with
its equipment In 1900 was $5,631, while
ten years later it was $13,10 The
average value of land rose from Stills
per acre in 1900 to $25.69 in 1910.
