0,0O0, 900 annually. During the past
year the sales of livestock products
probably exceeded $24,O00,0OO.
The farmers of the state are aided
in this transition from grain farming
to diversification by the various lines
of experimental work carried on by
the experiment station and the sub
stations. Methods that will lead to
a permanent and profitable agricul-
ture are pointed out. Such develop
ments make unnecessary long and ex-
tensive experimental work on the part
of the farmer. Hence, progress should
be rapid If advantage is taken OF in
formation available.
Through the work Of the agricultur-
al extension department and Of the
county agents the information that is
available is taken directly to the To-
calities desiring to use 1t. Any farm
er may obtain information upon his
problems if he but desires it. Mean
while thorough extension activities
and information published by the ag-
college the progress of di-
versification is steadily forward.

it would be perjury in most instances.
When Mr.. Coles attention was call
ed to the present law that prohibits
liquor from being given away, he adj

declared that man didn't have to

Both bills backed by the North Da-
kota Enforcement league are now on
the house calendar for third reading,
being reported out of the committee of
the whole house yesterday afternoon,
with J. f. T. O'Connor Of Grand Forks
in the chair.
II. B. No. 81, as amended, provides
for the appointment of not more than
three men by the attorney general, to
aid in the enforcement of laws. Origin

of affidavits by purchasers OF liquor,
such affidavits to be made out at the
time of delivery, to be retained as the
file of the delivery company. The pro-
vision that sought to make the place
of delivery the place of sale. was
eliminated.
On H. B. No. 81 there was consider
able debate, mostly over the question
Of whether or not the attorney general
favored the plan. Representative Cole
proposed that the attorney general be
brought before the house to state his
position.
This plan was objected to on the
theory that it established a unique
precedent, and Mr.. Cole finally aband-
oned his motion.
Representative Stair wasn't willing
to concede the advisability of the plan.
pointing to the fact that the first bill
passed by the house carried an ap-
preparation for the attorney general
for additional aid. He proposed turn
ing the whole militia over to the at
torney generals department TO aid in

ferred to committee. the vote was A
for and A against. On the motion for
do pass, the count was SO to S8.
On the afidavit measure, Mr.. Cole
of Fargo declared 1t an unwise proce-
dure to make a man lie to secure
liquor shipped to him. The aff1davit
provided for in the bill contemplates
that the purchaser shall make the
