Fortunate Americans.

Fortunate Americana.
When the American citizen looks
abroad he feels inclined to give thanks
for the possession Of a system Of gov.
eminent which, despite partisan diff
ferences, commands universal respect
and confidence. The exceptionally.
high standard of intelligence which
here prevails is guaranty against
sudden movements in opposition to
the established order. The vast ma
jority Of the American people are
capable Of analyzing conditions. They
keep in close touch with the affairs
Of the world and with the circum-
stances Of their own land. They are
growing steadily in political acumen
and are becoming more and more EN-
ciently independent in their determine
atoms. With every peaceful political
revolution they strengthen the nation
al foundations by providing outlets for
sentiments and dissatisfac tions.

Ignite coal of a high grade has been q
matter Of common knowledge for many
years, but any systematic develop.
ment OF these vast resources has been
a matter of only comparatively recent
years.
Governmental surveys disclose that
at least $4,000 square miles are un.
derlain with deposits of this splendid
fuel, the available quantity being esti'
mated at five hundred billion tons.
Mining Of this fuel was begun at first
in small way, but each year now
sees 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 a large
and ever-increasing number of domes
tic and industrial consumers.
ra. A Valuable Fuel.
AS fuel Ignite is thoroughly rec.
ognized to be of great value. Recent
experiments have been successful in
producing briquette, stable and
weatherproof, of about the same spe.
chic gravity az anthracite coal, equal
to the latter in heating power and de-
liverable outside the door of the con-
sumner at price below that Of any
eastern coal. This cost ia 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
1t 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 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

BY THOMAS COOPER,
Director North Dakota Experiment

Director North Dakota Experiment
@,a t&a Station.
North Dakota has been noted for
leadership in the production of. spring
wheat. Our farmers have become ex-
pert in its production at minimum
cost. The states leadership in this is
passing as she comes in competition
with the new lands of the Canadian
Northwest. Consequently, the future
of North Dskots's agriculture lies not
in the production of wheat but i'll the

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. Diversi1
fication 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 the 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 agricultural
operations rather than the main pur-
pose of operating the farm. In all Sec
lions of the state sufficient live stock
must he maintained upon the farm to
utilize the roughage and to consume
the coarse grains. The production Of
forage, especially Of alfalfa and corn.
will be materially increased.
In consequence, this means a re,
duced wheat acreage, but a larger pro-
duction of wheat to the acre. It means
fewer burning straw stacks and more
silos, and stacks Of alfalfa hay iii 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 de1
velopment of the beef industry. This
enterprise will At in we'll in the condi-
tions which prevail there. In tho
areas of smaller farms, where more
labor is available, the dairy COW ia
proving of value and Importance,
Horses may be produced not only to
advantage but to a high degree Of ex,
cellence in practically every section
Of the state. While the production Of
swine fits in we'll in farms where an
excess of feed grains can be produced.
North Dakota should become noted
as a producer Of high-class 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 as COM
pared with many of the other states,
In few words, the problem Of the
North Dakota farmer is to SO organize
the farm that a considerable percen-
tage Of his income will be obtained
from live stock and livestock prod
ucts This, / 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.

HOW "WORMWOOD" SWAYED
AMERICAN LEGISLATION

In recent interview concerning
"Wormwood," her greatest work
vizualized as a notable screen-drama
by William Fox, Miss Corelli said:
81 am glad that, as a distinguished
American statesman recently wrote
me my book "Wormwood" has re-
suited in the prohibition of the green
poison, absinthe, into America. This
is a great thing to have accom-
plished, to have saved a noble nation
from one of the most malignant
curses of modern times-the most
crying evil that exists in France. 1
have reason to love Am erica for the
sake of the many friends my writ
ings have won me there; friends
whose faces 1 have never seen, but
who correspond frequently with me
and whom / seem Familiarity to know
through the kindly written express
sions of their thoughts. With re-
gard to the present story, which /
trust may help to rouse public atten-
tion to a pernicious evil which is
gradually spreading over all the
world, l believe most intelligent
Americans who have visited Paris
will read it with more or less anxious
interest. 1t was, l think, a famous
American senator who quite recent
ly wrote long and exhaustive prac-
teal account of incalculable mischief
wrought by the poison-craze whose
dire effects on one individual l have
attempted to depict; and if one or
two more leaders among thinkers,
psychologists and scientists would
raise their voices to aid in denounc-
ing this fatal neutrality-suspicious. and
bringing it well before the considera-
ton of those who are the heads of
authority in France, it might be
checked in its destructive progress,
and, with a little earnest and decis-
i've work, be STAN ped out altogether,
as a disease Is stamped out by per-
feet sanitation. In this hope ] have
written "Wormwood" in this spirit
trust it may be received. At the

WINTER SCHOOL FOR
FARMERS AND HOME MAKERS

The annual Winter School for
Farmers and Home Makers at the
State College will be a six weeks
school, beginning January 4, and
closing February IL. The work will
be arranged in series of lessons per-
tanning to subjects, rather than in so
many general lectures as formerly.
In Animal Husbandry ~ lectures
each will be given on the follow. ng
subjects: Pork Production; Horse
Production; Meat: Killing, Cutting
and Curing; Beef Production; Sheep
Production. Other subjects consid-
cred will be Poultry Husbandry;
Home Economics; Fruit Growing;
Crop Production; Soils; Forestry.
This is the dull time of the year
for the farmer the tuition is free, the
living expenses will be reasonable,
the profits derived from the informa-
ton gained will show in the profits
realized from the farm during the
next season.
