Of REGENTS
PROVES SUCCESS

North Dakota has invested in the
eight educational institutions under
the direction of the State Board of
Regents, $780,, 693.97, according to
the biennial report of the board.
These figures include the solid part of
the federal land grant, institution
sites and compus, other lands, build
ings, equipment and furniture and
libraries.
In an addition to this large total six
of the eight educational institutions
! still have unsold 114,870 acres of their
federal land grant, which, estimated
at the government valuation of $14
per acre, means approximately ST.
COS, 1SO.
The Importance of the financial and
business affairs of these educational
institutions is indicated by the fact
that the State Board of Regents hand
les, during the biennial period 81
953, 744.15. 1t may be interesting to
know how this sum is derived.
North Dakota, through legislative
appropriations, provides for about 60
per cent of this amount, or $1,2OS,-
341.26. Of this sum $658, 10000 is APP
propriated for the institutions in lien
Of the old mill tax and $%256034.26 by
other direct legislative appropriations
making a total of legislative appro-
priations for educational purposes of
1914 ,S34.26. In addition the state APP
propriates for the experiment station,
s~ub-stations, demonstration farms,
pure food, pure seed, pure drug, nur-
sery inspection, and other regulatory
matters conducted under the direction
of the Agricultural College and En-
pertinent Station the sum of S293,507.-
90.
The other sources of revenue of the
state educational institutions, amount
ing to approximately 40 per cent are
from direct federal appropriations,
amounting to $197,67s.00 interest and
income of the federal land grants al
ready sold, $685., 967.22, ~matriculation
fees by students, sale of institutional
products and from all other sources,
$1S4 ,68S.68, or a total of $748,32S.9
which the taxpayers do not provide.
In addition to these figures there
are boarding house accounts, run
without profit, at a price that merely
covers actual expenses, and trust
funds Of various character from which
no institutional revenues are derived
but which greatly increase the tota
volume of the financial business.

best time for the work. They are
not too particular as to soil; but
in every case this should be well dug

however, be allowed to come in con-
tact with the root In planting. but
rather be mixed with the top soil, at
the distance Of a few inches from the
plant.
Peonies are propagated both by
seed and by division; the former plan,
however. is lengthy and troublesome.
as the majority Of batch OF hybrids
will be found worthless. and a large
plot of ground is necessary as a place
of trial.
They can only be obtained true to
name by division of the roots; but
this should not be attempted until the
plant has been in one place for two or
three years, as they do much better
when undisturbed. when 1t will ma
