Farming

In times past most farmers
have, cultivated the soil only TO
Il depth OF six or eight inches.
lis fertility was retained only
by adding such plant foods as
potash, phosphorus and lime.
These food elements were al
ready in the subsoil and verti-
cal farming makes it possible
to develop them and also in
sures abundant moisture and
larger crop yields.
The farms of the great Mid
die West are among the most
productive in the world today,
applied vertical farming means
still greater production.
Turn to the want ad section
of today's Bee, you will find
some choice offerings of farm
lands, the kind that lend them
selves readily to vertical farm

PLANS FOR PEACE
ARE BEING DRAF TED
rwo NEUTRAL EUROPEAN couN-
Tries CONSIDERING CALLING
OF FORMAL CONVENTION.
European Neutrals Believe United
states should Take the Initiative
Because Of it's Neutral Power and
Distance From Scene.

Washington.-Two neutral EURO
mean countries already are consider
ing calling formal convention OF
neutrals to discuss means OF ending
the European war, and three DINERS
have given assurances that they VIII
participate In such a convention, ac-
cording to Nine. Resia Schwimmer Oh
Hungary, one of the women who
called at the White House on Satur-
day to urge President Wilson to take
the initiative for peace.
Nine. Schwimmer visited the Swiss,
Norwegian, Swedish and Netherlands
ministers Saturday and laid before
them the information given the presi-
dent as to the feeling of European
neutral governments toward the pro-
iect. She left Saturday night for
New York preparatory to taking pas
sage on the peace ship Oscar II early
next month.
Nine. Schwimmer would not give
the names of the European neutral
countries she referred to, but she said
all of the foreign ministers abroad
upon whom she had called had been
very anxious to learn what the Amer
lean position would be. 1t had been
indicated, she said, that various pre-
yious peace plans had been rejected
because of the fear that partisan in
fiuence might be suspected. She
thought the present movement urged
by the women of the world would be
free of that suspicion and indicated
that the European neutrals believed
the United States should take the
initiative both as the most important
neutral power and because of its great
distance from the scene of the strug-
gle made for impartial action.

CANADIAN WHEAT
SEIZED BY ENGLAND
ACTION TAKEN UNDER SPECIAL
WAR ACT BY CANADIAN
GRAIN COMMISSION.
All High Grade Wheat Elevators
From Fort William to Atlantic
Coast are Communicated, Estl-
mated ut 10000, 900 Bushels.

Ottawa, Ont--The Canadian gov.
eminent has Communicated all high
grade wheat in elevators from Fort
Williams on Lake Superior to the At
lantic coast.
This action was taken under the
special war act by the Canadian grain
commission. The wheat seized was OF
grades one hard and one, two and
three northern. 1t was the property
OF grain shippers and millers. That
taken is all that which on Saturday
night was in public elevators at Fort
Fort william, Port Arthur. Midland
Tiain, Port McNichol, Collingwood
Coderich. Kingston, Port Colborne,
Prescott, Quebec, St. John, Montreal
and Halifax
A revised estimate places the
amount at about 20,O00,000 bushels. A
considerable amount is the property
of American grain dealers.
The grain was taken Saturday night
so that grain exchanges should be of
fected as little as possible. 1t is
officially stated that the price will be
fairly adjusted and the grain owners
promptly paid by the Canadian gov
eminent. 1t Is estimated that there
is still in Canada in the hands OF
farmers and dealers west Of Fort Will
liam, 150,000,000 bushels surplus OF
wheat available for export. 1t is err
pected that most of this will be taken
In the future for the use Of Great
Britain, France and Italy. The domes-
tic supply of Russia is more than suf-
fcient to meet the needs of that coun-
try. Had the Dardanelles been forced,
the surplus of Russian wheat would
have made the present action unnec-
essary. While the wheat just taken
was Communicated to fill an order
from the British government for a
large quantity of wheat, 1t is under
stood that most of it will be shipped
to Italy.
The Canadian government will look
after the transportation of the grain
to the Atlantic seaboard, and from
there its shipment across the ocean
will be undertaken by the British gov
eminent in the same way that ship
ments of oats and hay have been
handled for the past year.

RoUMANIANs HOPE FOR PEACE
But King Hopes That Army viii Be
In Readiness.

London.-King Ferdinand opened
the session of the Roumanian par
lament in the presence of the crown
prince and the ministers.
The speech from the throne referred
to the continuance of "the war which
is drenching the world with blood"
and called attention to the fact that
since the previous session other bel
ligerents had been added to the ma
tions engaged.
This situation" the king contin-
ued, imposes upon us increasingly
the duty of uniting our efforts for the
defense Of Roumania. You will be
called upon to decide various meas
ures and credits to face the present
difficult condition, and am convinced
that you will continue to supply the
needs of our beloved army, which has
always shown itself worthy of the love
and confidence of the country"

THE YOUNG MAN Get EVEN
It Did not Pay TO Snub This Bright
Youngster.

A young man who had been
snubbed at the theatre door decided
to get even with his girl friends
The girls occupied the first four
seats in the sixth row and the young
man had the fifth. They paid no at
tention whatever to him. On the pro
grom was a monologists who began
to talk love to get few laughs, as
these artists often do. He said: All
the girls who are in love, please stand
up"
Turning to the girl next to him the
young man who had been snubbed
said:
Please let me out"
Naturally the entire four had to
rise. When they were on their feet
the young man sat down, while the re-
mainder of the house roared IN glee
at the four girls standing up.-Natlon-

form the protest will take.

esx9 inventory of all property which they own
and strike total of its value Banks do the same
thing, but much more frequently. Uncle Sam,
through his census bureau, takes an inventory OF
our national wealth every ten years.
Such tabulation of the total wealth OF Barnes
county at the present time lands its buildings
and other improvements, its live stock and ma
chinery its bank deposits, moneys, credits, and all
other forms of personal property would make
surprisingly large and highly gratifying total
All this wealth has been produced out Of the soil
and most of it produced from Barnes county soil;
for not many of our inhabitants brought very
much with them when they came here.
Our soil has also produced very large addi-
tonal supply of wealth which has been invested,
sometimes unwisely, in distant communities; not
ably in Idaho, Nevada and Florida, and some in
foreign countries-l1nsound or illconsidered in
vestments in many instances, which might have
been more pro6tably invested at home.
All this wealth, both visible and invisible, in
Guiding investments at home and in distant parts;
all that has been spent for living expenses, neces-
stiles and luxuries combined; all that has been
squandered in "fake' or foolish investments, has,
as above stated, been produced from Barnes
county soil whose fertility has during the season
now drawing to close, produced one of the most
abundant crops in its history.
A fair index of our present financial condition
and our growth in financial way-our financial
barometer, 50 to speak, can be seen in the striking
increase in the deposits Of our financial institu-
tons. This growth is a matter OF congratulatlon
to all our people and it gives much hope for the
future On Jan. l, 1915, less than II years ago,
there were in all II banks in Barnes county with
aggregate deposits slightly in excess of 81 ,ooO,-
900; now there are rs banking institutions with
total deposits rapidly approaching 100000
The growth just recently has been especially graf
flying. Such growth will add greatly to the
further development and the prosperity Of the
county. The alert and progressive bankers OF
Barnes county can be relied upon, if left to their
discretion or advice to see that these added re-
sources are invested prudently for the upbuildng
Of legitimate local enterprises.
With the agricultural conditions OF the county
in such fundamentally sound condition, and
with our accumulated wealth represented in bank
deposits and money invested in interest bearing
securities, there can not be any such long periods

the culture and vocational guidance Of her young
people. Every year the state university is turn
ing into the ranks of our professions young
men and women thoroughly trained to be lead
ers in their respective communities. It is said
last year no less than 10 graduates Of the univer-
sity were members Of our legislature.
The young men educated at the agricultural
college are giving good account of themselves
as farmers and as leaders in other scientific lines.
The normal schools, too, are pouring large
stream of normal trained teachers into the ranks
of education. These young people, thoroughly
trained for the work they are to do, broad IN
culture and imbued with the high spirit OF ser
vice are worth to the state ten times the money
expended in the support of the institutions, and
justify in every way the .liberality OF North "a
kota as patron of higher education. II she
gave her young people only the instruments OF
knowledge reading, writing, arithmetic - to-
gether with pennanship and spelling, she would
come far short of providing the necessary lead
ership of democracy in which every person
should make as much of his talents and ability
as his time and means will permit.
North Dakota has noble system OF education,
and her higher institutions are the pride OF her
people.
In this week of appreciation Of North Dakota
and her achievements it might be interesting to
note lust how she ranks in the sisterhood OF
states, in several important matters pertaining
to education The statistics are based upon the
census of 1910 She stands third in percentage
of school population enrolled in the public schools
twenty-first in total school revenues; twentieth
in the average value of school property, per
child, of school age, and fftieth in the total in
vestn,ent per child in North Dakota. In other
states it varies from 81 per child in Mississippi
to Sis per child in Massachusetts,
In average expenditure for school purposes
for each child of school age our state is number
~. In South Carolina the amount is IS per
child in Washington, $32; in North Dakota,
$21. ....s..r-
We are twenty seventh in the average days OF
schooling, per child of school age, if each child
got his own share, or 80 days per year per child.
In Massachusetts it is 1871: in New Mexico. At.
We are fourth in the cost of one days school
ing for one child, or ~ cents per child per day.
The states vary from seven cents in South Caro-
lima to 80 cents in Arizona.
For each 1000 children in the elementary
schools, A are in high school, ten in colleges.
Our rank is thirty second ~-,
We are also thirty-second in the average an
nual salary paid to public school teachers, $3.50
per year.
We are eleventh in per cent Of population, ten
years of age or over, who can read and write.
Only three and one-tenth per cent Of our people
are iiterate. -
The state is forty fourth in the amount expend-
ed for schools for each $500 of wealth, Of all
real and personal property in the state in 1910.
Combining these ten important features, North
Dakota ranks eighteenth of the 4S states.
