MANY CATTLE
n n. OAK.

Uuless n keeps constantly in touch
with all parts of the state he is apt to
fail to realize how rapidly North Da-
kota is progressing along the lines of
diversified farming. Corn, Alfalfa,
Cattle and hogs are the great wealth
makers which are increasing by leaps
and bounds in all parts Of this state.
r. F. Flint, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture and Labor, stated at a meet
ing in Grand Forks last week that
there are at the present time at least
$1,000 900 worth of cattle in the state
of North Dakota. These figures are
arrived at o a basis of increase during
the past two years. The assessors re-
turned to the department Of statistics,
which is n of the important depart
ments under the supervision of Mr..
Flint, figures showing that there were
then 543 ,636 head of cattle in the state
and figuring at a conservative value
per head of $25 would make the value
of all the cattle in the state in 1913,
S13,590,900. In 1914 there we're re-
turned by the assessors to the same
department 589,668 head of cattle and
the value then would be, figuring the
same rate per head, $24, TATTOO. It is
very plausible to suppose then that the
returns for 1915 would be at least
100000 and this would mean an actue'
cash value of SIS, 900 900 for the not
tie in the state. The figures wiz n,oh

SOIL SURVEY
At BOTT|NEAU

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Representatives
of the Bureau of Soils, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, are
now at work upon a complete soil sur
vey of B~ottineau county, North Dako-
ia. The party, it is expected, will
take several months to complete the
examination and mapping Of the soils
Of the county. 81;
The Department requests co-opera-
ton on the part of the farmers and
land owners with the Federal Soil Sur
vey. They should be given facilities
to make borings and sample the differ
ent soils. They are provided with Gre
dentials which will be shown upon re-
quest.
AS soon as they have completed
their Investigations, they will make a
large map showing the various kinds
of soils and their location by means Of
colors and shading. This map will
also show the location Of the principal
roads, schools, churches, railroads and
water courses.
Accompanying the map will be a
complete report on the nature of the
soils, their suitability for growing var
ious crops, and suggestions for their
improvement by fertalizers, cover
crops, and crop rotations. This report
and tn emap will not be ready for
circulation for some months after the
completion of the survey.

POLITICAL
PARAGRAPHS

Washington. June 2.-(Special)-
President Wilson's Indianapolis speech
had a good deal to say about "the
team and about the way members of
the team" should "play the game" and
about what would happen to any of
the players who break training or 9TH
erwise ball-up the game. And yet
there is a noticeable and lamentable
absence of Democratic teamwork.
The President-captain has evidently
given the signal for a prosperity play
all along the line, with a run around
the end to goal, if possible; and some
of "the team" have tried to execute the
maneuver.

30 days; 1874 per cent more than 10
days and 92.8 per cent were out of
work at least one week. The occupa-
lions or trades having the largest
number of persons unemployed out of
the total of 15,417 were: Common la.
borers, 2,440, building trades, 2,O45,
and the clothing trades, 1871. The
fact is noted, however, that the figures
were obtained at a season of the year
when work in the building trades and
in the clothing trades is normally
slack and that the number out of work
reported for these trades was affected
to a large extent by the slack season.

The enumeration was made in the
first half of February, 1915. Infor-
nation vas obtained from 54,849 FAM
lilies having a total membership Of
229,428 persons, of which number o.
443 were wage earners Of these fam.
lilies 11,723 had one or more wage
earners out Of work, showing an ag-
gregate of 15,4l7 persons, or 1862 per
cent of all the wage earners in these
families without employment of any
kind. The total number of wage earn
ers in New York City in 1915, is
approximately 2455,OOO. The per
centage of unemployment found
among the members of 54,849 families
visited (16.2 per cent) applied to this
number, shows that a total number of
unemployed in New York City was
about 100000. That estimate does not
include any of the irregular or part
time workers.

The game was to convince the peo-
pie that prosperity has returned and
that a great job, accompanied by high
wages, is Slerlock-H omesing every
able bodied man. But, all at once, the
broken up by the bureau of Labor sta
tistics in the department of Labor in
a report on unemployment in New
York City. The report is based on a
ecnsus of 1O4 blocks selected to include
a representative number of families Of
various nationalities. and all classes of
industrial workers, combined with a
census of all families in 3,7O3 individ-
ual tenement houses and residences
covering a still wider range of dis
tribution.
In the report are embodied the re-
suits of two Investigations made by
organizations in New York city, the
Mayors Committee on Unemployment
and the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. The Mayors committee re
ported that the increase in the num-
Der of unemployed, based on the de-
crease of employment, was about 8 per
cent of the total number of workers
employed in December, 1913. And it
was estimated that about 200, 1000 more
persons were employed in New York
in December 1914, than in December
1913.

At about the same time the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company
made an investigation as to the unem-
ployment by a canvass Of families of
155 $50 policy holders of the CON-
pany, and found that 45,421 persons,
or Is per cent of all wage earners in
these families, were out of employ
ment. The greater proportion of I'M
employment reported is accounted for
largely by the fact that this survey
was made nearly a month earlier in the
season than the investigation made by
the Federal Bureau, and at a time
when the extent of unemployment was
probably somewhat greater. The re-
suits of the Metropolitan Company's
study are, therefore, substantially in
agreement with the results of the in
vestigation made by the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics.

PEACHES BY WATER.
Schooner Water Lily Brings First
Cargo in Years.

Potatoes and onions from the eastern
shore of Virginia are being brought
here in good quantities by small bay
craft. Three vessels arrived at the
9Th street wharf in the past forty-eight
hours.
The Hattie Lavenia Pearl and the
sloop Gertrude, each with several hun
dred barrels of potatoes and as many
more onions, and the schooner Minnie
May, with potatoes alone, are the ar
irving vessels. AS soon as they dis
pose of their cargoes they Will return
to the eastern shore to bring another
cargo here.
Onions sold at the wharf at 60 cents
per basket and potatoes $125 per bar
rel. The crop of potatoes. both sweet
and Irish, on the eastern shore is par
tcularly large. Many thousand bar
rels will be brought here between now
and the coming of cold weather.
The schooner Water Lily brought a
full load of peaches from bay point
to the market here and berthed at the
wharf foot of 14th street southwest.
The peaches were sold at from 25 to 35
cents basket. This is the first load
of peaches brought here by vessel in
many years
