amounted to Is, $4,000 cases of toina-
toes and about 100000 cases of to-
mato pulp FUSED in making catsup
sauces, soups etc. The total was
therefore over 2O,OO0,OO0 cases Of "a
two-pound cans each, or an output of
100000 600 cans, weighing 100000
tons, and having an approximate
value Of $2s,0OO,0O0 If these cans
we're placed one on top Of the other,
the resulting column would be very
nearly $4,000 miles high, or if placed
end to end in a row would encircle
the earth one and half times at the
equator. These figures deal only
with the canned product Of factories
keeping accurate statistics. When
we remember that perhaps twice as
many more are eaten raw and canned
by the thrifty housewives and girls
canning clubs, we may get some idea
of the Importance in our national
economy of the garden tomato.

SAVE 1914
SEED CORN
Crop Specialists Advise lmmed-
late Action on Part Of
Corn Growers
WEATHER UNFAYORABLE
Prospects Do Not Warrant Rely
ing On This Years Crop For
Seed Corn

The prospects for good corn
crop in Richland county are no
worse or no better than in the re-
manning counties of the north
central group of states and a
movement has been inauguratcd
by G.. P. Bull, crop specialist at
the University farm and Secre-
tary of the Minnesota Crop Inn
provement association, warning
the farmers to make their selec-
.tion of seed corn from the 1914
crop.
| Prof. Bull believes that the out
look, for corn this season, owing
to unfavorable conditions of the
past several weeks, is such as to
threaten the value of the matured
kernel for termination purposes
Therefore he advises safeguard
ing what is left of the 1914 crop
for use next spring.
He endorses a statement being
sent out by H. M. Cottrell, agri-
cultural commissioner of the
Rock Island lines, to this effect
Most of the corn through the en-
tire northern corn belt is at least
month behind in it's growth
Tens Of thousands of acres OF
corn that should be in tassel are
only two or three feet high. With
the rest of the season favorable
this corn will produce large
crops for feed.
"rhere is considerable danger
that the corn will not reach full
maturity necessary for strong
termination in seed.
Every corn grower should Sc
lect for next years planting from
corn raised in 1914"

INSPECTED THE
5. s. S TUESDAY
Two Members Of tho State Board
Of Regents, Were Hero
Tuesday
SEC. BREWER HERE ALSO
The Trip This Week was StrIcti,
a Business Affair and
Informal

Two members of the State
Board of Regents, Hon. Lewis F.
Crawford of Sentinel Butte, who
is president, and Hon. Emil Scow
of Bowman, We're here Tuesday
to inspect the State School of Sci
ence. They were accompanied hy
Secretary Brewer.
The object of the visit at this
time was to look over the proper
ty Of the school and gather some
data regarding tire methods of
keeping the business and ac-
counts of the institution. The
board is required to establish a
uniform system of accounts in
the various institutions and the
information secured here will be
helpful. Committees were nam
ed at the last meeting to Visit the
different institutions and at the
next session in Bismarck, Aug. 8
these committees will report the
results of their trips.
After the data from all the in
stitutions has been assembled the
board will formulate system
that will attempt to get compre-
hensive reports each month from
all the institutions and at the
! same time Interfere as little as
lpossible with the local conduct of
affairs.
The board appears very anxious
to get everything established on
business principles and seems
anxious to give the people of the
state a 100 cents on the dollar
for money spent for educational
purposes.
On this trip nothing was done
along educational lines. The
members of the faculty were Sc
lected by the old boards and these
contracts will be observed by the
regents. A little later commits
sioner Of education will be chosen
who will outline the courses of
the various institutions and make
recommendations for the election
of members of the faculty for the
following year. No changes are
contemplated for the coming
scholastic year.
The trip this week was strictly
a business affair and informal. AT
some later date all the members
of the board will come here in I
body, and so over the institution
more in detail.

GETTING MEN TO FIELD
is HARVEST PROBLEM

Farmers in Canada will not
have much trouble, but those of
the Northwest in the United States
are due for bushels of it, accord
ing to land men in sizing up the
prospects for harvest hands.
Most of the men are in the cities,
where most of the work offered
during the winter concentrated
them. Canadian railroads can give
passes, but roads in the United
States cannot.
General misunderstanding am
ong employers in this section of
the country and probably through
out the United States of the scope
Of the Federal labor distribution
service is all that stands in the
way Of this branch of the govern
ment becoming a national clearing
house for all kinds of labor, skill
ed and unskilled.
Report To Washington
This possibility for the solu-
tion of the labor problem in this
country is contained in report
covering the first five months
work of the newly established
Federal free employment bureau
mailed to- Washington yesterday
by Charles w. Seamon, in charge
of the Minneapolis immigration
office. The labor distribution Of
flee, which is branch Of The i'm
migration service, covers the en-
tire country. Mr.. Seaman has
charge of the work for Minnesota
and the DakOtas.
City employers seem to have
misunderstood what free employ
ment department of the govern
ment is for" said Mr.. Seaman.
The idea has become general
that it for farm laborers only.
