THANKSGIVING REVERE.

I'd like to spend Thanksgiving day
back home on the farm, where every
home object holds the old familiar
charm; I'd like to see the old red barn,
meath whose projectin' roof bedrag-
gled farmyard gentry oft from drench-
ing held aloof, where the dim light of
the NOV, amid the fragrant hay, with
pigeons croonin' in the caves, a boy I
used to play.
Ter see the windmill once again,
and hear its ghostly clack, would Ease
my heart, and speedin' bring the dear,
fond memories back.
I'd like to see the patient xii e avail
tin the hired man, an dippin' muggy
noses in the pals Of moistened bran.
I'd like to see the we'll fed cats that
used to haunt the place, and have the
ever-friendly dog yearn up into my
face-Id like to see the old fint-lock,
an 60 out arter quail, er, mebby, nigh
the hazel copse, scare up a cotten-tail.
An smell again the savory smells of
mince and punkin' pies, an stuff my
self with white meat SOS yer most too
full ter rise. But, no-ITl Gala taxi
cab dine at some cafe, where there's a
decent orchestra, or lively cabaret; l
wasn't brought up on the farm, with
me it ne'er agreed only wrote this
verse because it's what folks like to
read.

were better than those of the other
convicts. The diet given them con-
sisted of biscuits, fried mush, gri5:
and brown gravy, syrup, corn bread,
sweet potatoes, rice, collards and cof-
fee with sugar. All c%omponents Of the
dietary were of the best quality and
were properly cooked. AS a prelim-
mary, and to determine if the convicts
were afflicted with any other disease,
they were kept under observation
from February 4 to April 8, two and a
half months, on which date the one
sided diet was begun.
Although the occurrence of v
symptoms and gastro-intestinal dis
turbances were noted early, it was not
until September 18th, or about five
months after the beginning of the re-
stricted diet, that the skin symptoms
SO characteristic of pellagra began to
develop. These symptoms are On
sidered as typical, every precaution
being taken to make sure that they
were not caused by any other disease.
The convicts upon whom the expert
ment was being made, as we'll as 20
other convicts who were selected as
controls, were kept under continuous
medical surveillance. No case of pell-
agra developed in camp excepting
among those men who were on the re-
stricted diet. The experimenters have
therefore drawn the conclusion that
pellagra has been caused in at least
six Of the eleven volunteers as a re-
suit of the one-sided diet on which
they subsisted.
On the basis of this discovery, the
States of Mississippi, Louisiana and
Florida have laid their propaganda
through their respective boards of
health for the eradication of the d.
sease.

RICH COAL DEPOSITS
BILLIONS OF TONS or Ignite
UNDERLlE LANDS OF STATE.
Can Supply Its Own Fuel Needs for
Hundreds of Years to
Come.

That the western part Of North Da-
kota is heavily underlain with beds Of
Ignite coal of a high grade has been a
matter of common knowledge for many
years, but any Systematic develop.
ment of these vast resources has been
q matter of only comparatively recent
years.
Governmental surveys disclose that
at least $4,000 square miles r I'm.
derlain with deposits of this splendid
fuel, the available quantity being est.
mated at five hundred billion tons.
Mining Of this fuel was begun at first
In a small way, but each year nov
sees a vast increase in the output un.
til the average now reaches 100000
tons and is steadily increasing. This
product is used as fuel by all the state
institutions and is furnished to q large
and ev~er-increasing number of domes'
tic and industrial consumers.
A Valuable Fuel.
As a fuel Ignite is thoroughly rec.
ognized to be of great value. Recent
experiments have been successful in
producing q briquette, stable and
weatherproof, of about the same spe.
cihc gravity Is anthracite coal, equal
to the latter in heating power and de.
Mverable outside the door of the con
sumer at a price below that Of any
eastern coal. This cost is figured with.
out taking into consideration the value
Of by-products procured during the
process of manufacture which would
still further reduce the price at which
It could be probably sold. Several
plants now exist for the manufacture
Of these briquettes and more are In
contemplation.
For production Of fuel and illumi.
mating gas this coal possesses a value
superior to almost any other variety.
and when the vast deposits underlying
thousands of square miles In western
North Dakota are recalled, some con.
ception may be formed Of the vast
wealth now lying beneath the surface
awaiting development.

FUTURE OF NORTH DAKOTA
liberalization OF Farming Industries
Will Give Farmer His Great
est Profits.
BY THOMAS COOPER,
Director North Dakota Experiment
CAaA3An

Station.
North Dakota has been noted for
leadership in the production Of spring
wheat. Our farmers have become ex.
pert in its production at q minimum
cost. The states leadership in this ID
passing as she comes In competition
with the new lands Of the Canadian
Northwest, Consequently, the futyre
81 North bakota's agriculture lies not
in the production of wheat but in the
Disqualification 81 her farming indus,
tries in which wheat shall be one Of
the leading products. :,
One does not require the spirit OF
prophecy to see that only through the
reduction Of the wheat acreage and
the increased production Of feed
grains, corn, alfalfa and pastures will
the North Dakota farmer be enabled
to make his greatest profits. DIVERSE
lcation Is particularly necessary IN
this state. Methods Of Agriculture IN
the less humid areas must be such as
will produce some classes Of feed each
year. In these areas tho farmer must
learn to depend largely upon live stock
and upon livestock products. The
production of small grains for sale
shall be an incident in the a&rfcu3$flRai
operations rather than the main par.
pose Of operating the farm. In all sec.
lions Of the state sufficient kve stock
must be maintained upon the farm to
utilize the roughage and b consume
the coarse grains. The production Of
forage, especially Of alfalfa and corn,
win be materially increased.
In CONSEQUENCE, this mean . re-
duced wheat acreage. but q larger pro
duction of wheat to the acre.. It means
fewer burning straw stacks and moro
si1os. and stacks Of alfalfa hay in place
Of the prairie grass. In the section
Of the state devoted to large farms, as
we'll as in the rougher lands, there is
a splendid opportunity for further de-
velopment Of the beef industry. This
enterprise will At in we'll in the condi-
lions which prevail there: In the

North Dakota should become noted
as a producer Of high-c1ass horses,
beef cattle and dairy stock. Every In.
vestigation that has been carried on IN
this state shows that we have distinct
advantages along this line 81 com
pared with many Of the other states
In a few words, the problem Of the
North Dakota farmer IL to so organise
the farm that a considerable percen.
tage Of his income will be obtained
from live stock and livestock prod
ucts. This, I believe. Is the type Of
agriculture that we must develop IN
this state, and the one which will
bring about the greatest agricultural
advancement. It is the basis Of most
of our present agricultural problems

ciates this increased interest very much and hopes that it may continue. Let us beg you to bring your children to church with you. Children ought to hear preaching while they are young if you expect strong Christian service from them when they get older. It is just as reasonable for children to be kept out of the Public Schools until they are grown as it IS to let them stay away from church until they are men and women.

AN INTRODUCTION BY
HERBERT QUICK

editor of Farm and Fireside, the
national farm paper, published al
Springfield. Ohio.)
The American farmer for two gen.
erations has not been in love with his
task. He has been unhappy in it.
He has quit it as fast as he could
and gone to the city. Why? Be-
cause it has principally engaged his
hands, and not his brain. He has
called the work of the doctor "brain
work" when, as a matter of fact,
there is more chemistry, physiology
land hygiene in the best farming than
in medicine. He has called the work
of the lawyer brain work" when, as
la matter of fact, it takes as much
brains to work out proper rotation
of crops as to try an important case
in the courts. He has called the
work of the bookkeeper brain work"
when, as a matter of fact, the ac-
counts of the farm, If properly kept,
as vastly more complex than those of
the banker or the factory
The great revival in farming
among youth, of which Mr.. Stanley
johnson writes in these articles, is
most significant because it is winning
the hearts of the young people back
to the farm. Why? Because it is
teaching them the great truth that
farming is brain work. In it is
found the closest correlation between
education and life.
The various clubs which have alb
sorbed the energies of so many young
people are as directly conducive to
the development Of the modern citi-
zen as were the military games Of
the ancient Spartans. 1t is a game
which leads directly into life.
This work has only just begun
Long befort the younger readers OF
these articles are middle-aged, the ru-
raj schools of this country will have
taken over all this work as a part
of their regular cirriculums, and in
stead Of the present ominous tide
of farm people setting to the cities
in order that 1.-The children may have
a better chance for an education"
there will be tide of city people
to the farms-for the same reason.
Mr.. Johnson s articles deal adequate
ly with the most promising movement
in present-day American life--especi-
ally to city people.
Twelve hundred boys in the sum-
mer of 1914 added $4,000, 10000 to
the productive wealth of the state of
Ohio. This was their response to
the call for help. They were the corn
club boys of the Buckeye state. They
raised the average yield of corn per
acre from 35 bushels to 81, a gain
of $2O,O00,00O a year to the state"
says A. P. Sandles, president of the
Ohio Agricultural commission.
I have chosen this instance because
it illustrates the need of help, the
awakening, and the way the people
of Ohio showed their appreciation.
The business men of the state went
deep into their pockets and sent the
entire 1900 boys to Washington, to
