ADD $4,000. TO TAX LEVY.

The matter of adding SO cents to every
thousand dollars of assessed property IN
this county for the purpose of paying
some 'expert" to teach the farmers a
better melh hod of farming, etc, is to come
up at the next meeting of the county
board, and at the town meeting here
petitions were circulated asking the
voters to express to the county board
their desire for such tax.
Personally this writer is not in favor
of taxation. The first reason is that
taxes are about as high as we can stand
now.
Second, this is as yet an untried ex-
pertinent.
We believe all such work is rather the
province of the Agricultural colleges
and similar schools. When farmers
show disposition to use the informa-
tion that they can get free from the
Agricultural college and from the
United States agricultural department
then they may want local teachers, but
as yet even this free information based
on long and exhaustive experiments does
not 60 to one-tenth of our farmers.
When farmers will do just as we'll as
they hnow how then perhaps they will
want to learn more. But few if any
farmers now do as we'll as they know
already.
1t is not so much the know how that
is wanted as the opportunity to do as
we'll as they know.
Even in taking up diversified farm
ing" there are many different directions
and hundreds of methods. Shall the
farmer go INTO beef, dairying, sheep,
colts, and how? Shall he do some of
each or spend all his energies on one
line? What about raising wheat at the
same time? These are but samples of
the considerations necessary in making
the change. These must be answered
by the individual farmer himself No
teacher can do it for him. His own
tastes, experience and convenlences
must answer. Sheep are good thing
on sheep mans farm, 20 anybody else
land often to everybody else) they are a
plaguey nuisance.
We think we better wait awhile be-
fore we 60 to experimenting at the rate

A Just Comparison,
"SPEAK WELL OF THE BRIDGE
THAT CARRIES YOU
SAFELY OVER"

A few weeks ago the Pioneer Express
had occasion as then explained to men
tion few things about California and
criticise some of our friends who left
North Dakota to make homes in that
state. The article caused considerable
comment and some thought that we
had been little hard IN the irony and
sarcasm of the article. What we intend
ed to show was that there is no place
that is perfect and that California had
about as many deficiencies as any of
them,-and that Comparisons are
odious." In the Grand Forks Herald of
Sunday Mr.. George Winship formerly
publisher of that paper, writes 40 inter-
esting letter from California where he
now lives, telling of the annual picnic of
North Dakotans at Los Angeles on the
7th of this month, and while in some-
what different tone, he makes practically
the came criticism as did the Pioneer
Express,-but particularly scores the
California newspapers-Here's what he
saya on that subject
"The day was beautiful, as warm and
balmy as June day, but in North
Dakota it was different. That was the
day when the mercury dropped to 36
degrees below. and the papers in Los
Angeles made the most of it, pointing to
thapicnicking here of residents of the
stats, and freezing Of those at home.
They never fail to "rub it in" for east
ern weather is always topic dwelt upon
at length, and invidious comparisons are
drawn, as matter Of course. There is
one fact, however, that the newspapers
are slow to recognize, and that is that
the rigorous climate they ,berate SC

Of our country. Without it there would
be no Los Angeles OF the proportions
