SCIENCE SCHOOL WILL
OPEN DOORS TUESDAY

Wahpeton, Sept. 17.-Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 81, is the date set for the op-
ening Of the state school Of science.
On This day il is expected that stud
ents who plan to attend the lnstltu-
ton during the fall term will register,
for the opening day will be devoted to
registration exclusively. Classes Will
meet and organize on Wednesday,
and it is the urgent prayer of the FAC
uity that all students will be regis
tered before that date and come pre-
pared for work.
At the beginning of the new school
year, which follows SO closely upon
the close of one of the most success
full agricultural seasons which the
Northwest has ever known, the sci
ence school is looking forward to a
most prosperous and successful year.
1t should be the best year the school
has ever had, both in the number Of
students and the standard of work,
both of which have been raised very
markedly during the past few years.
With but one exception, the facul-
ty which so successfully conducted
the work of the school last year, has
been engaged for the coming term.
The one exception is Prof. George f.
Paul, who this year has secured a
position as instructor in English at
the Iowa State college, at Ames. His
position will be filled by Prof. F. H.
Mcmahon who served for several

GOPHER POISON
NOT TO BLAME
State Entomologist Says Hunters
Must Assign Other Reasons
for Shortage

w. B. Bell, entomo,ogist of the
state experiment station, has made
the following statement as to poison
ing of game birds:
"Indiscriminate statements have re-
Gently been made by disappointed
hunters that the putting out OF "gopn.
er poison under direction Of the
North Dakota agricultural experiment
station is responsible for the scarcity
of prairie chickens this year. These
statements have become somewhat
widely current through the press OF
the state. In view Of this it seems ad-
visable to present certain facts for
the consideration of The people Of
North Dakota who are interested in
both the prairie chicken and "goph-
err situations.
Moments Thought.
ga moments thought and weighing
the facts should convince any person
that the cause of the shortage of
prairie chickens is due to the wealth
err conditions which prevailed during
the spring and summer, which were
very unfavorable for the Matching
and rearing Of prairie chickens, and
is in no way to be attributed to the
putting cut OF the gopher poison
under direction of the experiment sta
ton. The place where the shortage
of prairie chickens is most noticeable
to hunters is in the Red River Valley,
where not an ounce Of the poison was
thus distributed. There are still sew
eral million acres of land in North
Dakota which have not been poisoned
over for rodents and yet the shortage
of prairie chickens is evident in all
; parts of the state where weather col
| ditiOns were ~unfavorable and is not
confined in any way to the poisoned
areas or localities.
Are Immune.
Another fact which appears not to
be generally understood is that prai'
rie chickens. sharp-tailed grouse and
domesticated chickens are practically
immune to the action of strychnine
when taken in any ordinary quantity
into the stomach with food. In the
experimental work upon the poison
recommended by the experiment sta
ton, both domestic chickens and prai.
RE chickens have been tested by be"
ing fed quantities of the gopher poi
son with nc injurious results. Fur.
thermore, all men employed the past
season in the gopher determination
work were instructed to watch care
fully for any injury by the poison to
prairie chickens and sharp-tailed
grouse. Farmers were also urged to
note any such injury and report. Not
a single case of injury to prairie
chickens or skarp-tailed grouse has
been noted or reported, There is a
standing offer of ten dollars reward
to the first person who produces evi.
dence of the killing Of a single prai
rie chicken OF sharp-tailed grouse by
the gopher poison" prepared and dis.
tributed according to the instructions
of the North Dakota agricultural ex'
pertinent station. This, Of course,
does not apply to any of the many
commercial or proprietary gopher

~poisons" which have been on the mar
ket for many years and for which the
experiment station is in no way res
ponsible.
ThoughtIess Statements.
"The people of North Dakota can
not afford to allow careless, thought
less statements unsupported by q par
ticle of evidence to interfere in any
way with the application Of the meth
Cd of ex~terminating the Richardson
ground-squirrel or flickerta:l, common
ly called gopher" recommended by
the North Dakota agricultural expert
ment station. The S of this meth
cd the past season has already saved
the farmers who have used it many
thousands of dollars, and experience
in thousands of acres has shown con-
clusively that this economical method
is entirely effective in Kidding the
land of this destructive pest that is
causing North Dakota a loss of from
one to three million dollars each
year"

CAR SHORTAGE
THROUGHOUT STATE
Railroad Commission Gives Inter-
probation of Law Relative
to Cars
to Cars

-
A general car shortage is likely to
be felt throughout the state at this
season OF the year, due to heavy ship
meats of wheat being made at the
present time.
The state railroad commission yes
terday issued copies of the state law
relative to cars and it's Interpretation
of the law, as follows:
Section 4722. Distribution of cars.
Wien any railroad company doing
business in this state shall be unable
from any reasonable cause to furnish
cars at any railway station CT side
track, in accordance with The demands
made by all persons demanding cars
at such station or sidetrack, fer the
shipment OF freight in carload lots,
such cars as are furnished shall be
divided daily, equally among the arlli7
cants in the order OF their applica-
ton until such shall have received
one car, when the remainder shall be
divided ratably among the several
shippers in the proportion that the
carload lots Of freight offered b. each
bear to the entire nunsher Of carload
lots Of freight offered at such station
or sidetrack on that day; provided,
that every application made in 600:
faith on an earlier day shall be filled
before supplying to any applicant of a
succeeding day
AS to the above, the commission
holds: 1T is apparent from reading
section 4722 of the compiled laws CT
1913 that the criterion upon which
the apportionnaent of cars shall be
made is the amount of freight offered
in coed faith at each station for ship
ment. In determining what gcc<i
faith in the matter is, tue ccrmmissio..
is CT the opinion that it is not neces-
sa1y for the grain TO Ioe actually Oh
the rightof-way, blu. if a person de,
string to ship freight he mus be pc
pared to load the cars demanded by
him within the 4S-hour limit aftel
they are placed fer leading, and it =
not sufficient fer him to nave store.
at q distant place, OF contracted for
delivery at Understandable times, all
indefinite amount CT grain.
The commission feels that the own
or of an elevator who has his eleva-
tor full and must ship out grain to
make room Fer further purchases
should receive attention primarily and
that as between different elevators
with different capacities, or with G:f-
ferent amounts of grain in the elc.
vators, the cars should be apportion-
ed according to their respective
amounts of grain rendered for ship.
ment. The commission thinks tina;
the proper basis is the actual freight
which the shipper can demonstrate tt
the agent is being held fer no other
reason than the lack OF cars, and it ID
insufficient fer him tc demand cars
upon an indefinite and unsubstantial
claim that he has a certain amount
of wheat which is not within immedi-
ate reach. A large degree OF discre.
ton must be left to the agent or car
