justified in calling an extra session.

Alfalfa is one of the comparatively
new crops in North Dakota farming,
yet it has already taken a high place.
It is one of the crops that is help
ing to solve the problem Of providing
forage. The reports Of the field

ment Station, indicate that the yields
run as high as 4 tons, while the aV
erage yield per acre is about two tons
That is more than the average yields
of timothy and clover in the states

words, more forage a be produced
on an acre of North Dakoao land with
alfalfa than can be raised Of tlmo

v CRUSADE.

Better babies mean better men and
women.
. This is the motive force behind the
"Mothers' Crusde," which includes
Bismrck in it's itinerary today. The
parents should cooperate to make the
visit of the representatives Of the
National Congress Of Mothers and
Parent-Teacher association profitable
Mrs. Frederick Schoff of Philadel
phia, president of the national organ
~ization, is we'll known in the bahy
welfare movement. The campaign to
educate mothers relative to the care
Of their offspring has done much to
reduce the percentage of infant NOR
tally.
Motherhood and fa%therhoOd are two
Of the greatest responsibilities impos'
ed upon human beings and often toe
lightly regarded. Fathers and moth
ers in many instances shift the bur
den to school teachers and often SO
ciety itself has to step in and assume
the care of the hayward boys and
girls.
The Mothers Crusade aims to re
duce this necessity and t) preach the
gospel of greater responsibility in
the training of children.
Mrs. Schoff recently said:
bringing up babies by instinct is
like playing music by ear, eXcep'
that the results of the latter are less
permanently injurious.
"The great need Of the country is
the teaching of mothers their respon'
sibility, and our colleges should have
also courses in fatherhood. The col
lege girls of today who have married
are asking why they did not receive
the kind of education they need, and
it is for them to see that the col
lege girls Of the future get it.
"If the girl who must go to work
when she leaves the eighth grade or
when she finishes high school, were
provided with means of education fol
marriage, our nation would not have
the divorce evil which is it's disgrace
These representatives in the inter
ests of better mothers come at an op'
perfume time. Next Sunday has been
designated as "Mother's Day." Thei.
mes sage, therefore, is Of special sig
%nificance.
Every mother in Bismarck should
make a special efford to hear thesc
women, engaged in a most worth,
cause.
