PROFIT IN ALFALFA At S37 a
TON

A dairyman with farm within
40 miles of Boston bought car
load of alfalfa hay the other day
in Nebraska. which he expects to e
feed with profit in Massachusetts
at total cost off $37 a ton. AL
lowing for perhaps a higher price
for milk in Boston than in the
average North Dakota town. it
would certainly seem that the To-
cal dairyman ought surely to
make a liberal profit on alfalfa at
$1,000 to $500 a ton.
The Wahpeton times., 1915-01-07
COST Is NOT oREAr

There has been great deal of
talk of the cost of operating the
North Dakota educational institu-
tions. Let us consider for a mo-
ment what this item costs the
man with a $5.O0O.O0 farm.
/. On the basis, of taxation. now
y, force. the sum available for all
the educational institutions of
the state, for all purposes aside
from income from endowment.
that is, all sums to be paid in
taxes, amount to about two mills
on every dollar of assessed val
uation. Taking our $4,000 man
as type. we find that his expend-
future for all these institutions
amounts to a little more than two
dollars year. Surely not a very
heavy burden.
But it must be remembered fur
ther that not all or nearly all of
the receipts of the institutions is
expended on current maintenance.
There is not an institution in the
state which has not within re-
cent years made important addi-
tons TO it's plant. In many cases
Clle RfOWCH i'll LnlS respect has
been verv great. And. in so far as
buildings erected and equipment
installed are serving useful pur-
pose. The expenditure made for
them cannot be considered an
item of expense. but rather an
investment on capital account.
The people have paid the money,
but they have valuable property
to show for it. When this is sub
tracted from the two dollars and
some cents that the owner of $5,-
600 worth of property has to pay
on account of these institutions,
his contribution to the actual
cost does not bulk very large.

CROP ROTATIONS

The rotation practiced on the
New Salem Demonstration Farm
is as follows: corn followed by
fife wheat. then oats followed by
oats and peas, followed by ma
carOni. wheat and back to corn
again. This has proved a very
good rotation.
On the Demonstration Farm Of
Ross the following rotation is
practiced: corn, followed by wheat
then timothy and clover or sum-
mer fallow. followed by wheat and
then. oats. One field is in alfalfa
six years. Then the alfalfa will
be put on one of the other fields
and the alfalfa field take it's place
in the rotation.

The regular program was carried
out. after which the officers were
elected for the coming year.
Three new members were also re-
celved. This society has received
new members at almost every
meeting during the past year.
Plans were also laid for n social

to be held in the near future.
The EpwOrth League meeting
Ill the evening was something
new of its kind. Special invita-
tlons with New Year greetings
were issued. and instead of the
old order. the members were seat
ed in a circle. Then all were ask
ed to express some wish for the
League for the year 1915. These
were collected and read, showing
that the members are alive to
the real needs of the League. and
are anxious for its success.

Ramer's Act in Refusing to
Accept Petition Held Legal
Says Safety Clutch" Prevents Law
BEING Referred to People: Same Rul-
Ing Applies to Liquor Regulation

Judge Charles c. Butler OF the third
division of the district court has dis
missed the petition of Henry Van Kleeck
to compel John T.. Ramer. secretary of
state. to file the petition to refer the
act passed by the legislature changing
the civil service law of this state, and
with il went the contention of the liquor
interest which also had a similar petit
tion awaiting the same place on the
docket.
After counsel for both sides had pre-
sented their argument Judge Butler de-
eided the case without delay.
safety Clutch" Controls.
He stated that he would be compelled
to sustain the act OF Secretary OF State
Rsmer in refusing to file the petition
to refer the law, not only because il
was his own opinion that the so-cailed
safety clutch" compelled the secretary
to do So but because the members of
the supreme court had already prae-
tically settled the same question in a
former opinion.
He held that the clause enacted by the
legislature TO the effect that the law
was necessary for the immediate preser-
walton of the peace, health and safety
OF the people. could not be attacked by
the courts whether true or not true
that that WAS within the power of the
legislature and that nc one else could go
behind il. even" continued the Judge
with a smile, "if it were not true
Liquor Question Settled
The attorneys of the old civil service
commission gave notice that a motion
would be made for a new trial and this
formally was hurried by the agreement
