Bronson's Argument.
Harry A. Bronson, assistant attor-
ney general, who represented Secre-
tary of State Hall. made a point OF
the fact that Burtness had voluntarily
procured his nomination by petition,
thus signitying his agreement with
the opinion OF the attorney general
and the proclamation of the governor.
Bronson claimed that inasmuch as
Burtness' name already appears
through his own act in the individual
column, he cannot procure the trans
fer of his name to party column.
He argued that the caucus system OF
nominating candidates has been for
ever repealed by law.
The caucus plan he referred to as
the "Old gang SYSTEM
He also insisted that the nOmina-
ton of Burtness was made too late.

Tells Of League Victory.
Lemke devoted his arguments
largely to story of how the Non
partisan league year ago captured
the republican organization and made
him chairman, and how the old guard

given at the organization Of the state
central committee to an executive
committee composed of one member
from each judicial district, and how
this committee was called together in
Fargo and Baer was nominated as the
republican candidate for congress to
save the grand old party from the
grasping old gang.
When all arguments were cOnclud-
ed, the question as to the date upon
which q decision must be rendered
was taken up, and it was agreed that
this decision should be down not later
than Saturday. Eoth sides were CIV

FARM: W|II|'OOD|||L|07S
BRING RETURNS
Are important Sources Of Reve'
nue. to the Owners in Many
Instances.
PRODUCTS GROWING IN VALUE
Sales Of Wood by Farmers in Eastern
States in One Year Exceeded
Value OF Entire Potato Crop,
SAYS Uncle Sam.

Contrary to general opinion the farm
wOOdlOts of the country not only fur.
niSh immense amounts of material for
local use, but are important sources of
supply for timber for the general mar
ket, says an expert of Uncle Sans for
est service in publication of the de-
partment of agriculture, on "The
Status and Value of Farm WOOdlOts ip
the Eastern United States" Much OF
the choice hickory, ash and white oak
now in use comes from farm wOOdlOtS
Many woOdlOts contain timber every
bit as good as that in the larger tracts
and fully as capable of yielding high
grade lumber, if properly sawed and
seasoned. Others have large quantities
of pulpwOod suitable for paper max
ing, low-grade lumber for boxes, bolts
for slack and tight cOoperagc, and eX-
cellent material for veneer.
In 1909, it is stated, the farmers of
the eastern states alone received from
the sale Of their woOdlot products an
average of $S1 for each reporting farm,
or nearly $17O,OO0,OO0. This was more
than the value of the entire potato
crop, nearly double that Of the tobacco
crop, and more than twice that of the
combined barley and rye crops. in that
year there were more than 143,OOO,OOO
acres of farm woodlands in the east
ern and central states. This amount
was a decrease of about Is per cent
from the figures reported in 1880.
Products Increase in Value.
Where agriculture is in the pioneer
ing state, it is pointed out, the sale Of
wood very often enables the farmer to
tide over the first years during which
he has not enough land in cultivation
to support him. In later years the
woOdlOt furnishes material for use on
the farm and if taken care of may
prove q valuable source of revenue. AS
settlement becomes intensive and the

value of land advances, there is ten
dency for the area devoted to wood
lots to decrease. At the same time
wOOdlOt products increase in price and
the value of the wOodlols themselves is
more generally recognized.
Because it is a convenient source of
tirewood and other material, the high
est direct value of the woodlot, it is
stated, is to the local communities. The
farmers use more Of the wOOdlot prod
ucts than they sell. Much of the mate
rial which is sold is consumed in the
neighborhOOd and many small veneer,
cOOperage and other woodworking
plants derive their entire supply from
local wOOdlots.
1t is pointed out that there is every
incentive for communities to encourage
the development Of local woodlots and
thereby protect themselves from flu
ture timber scarcity and high prices.
With proper treatment woodIots can be
made to yield a revenue to individual
owners, but the nature Of the crop is
such that ownership of relatively large
areas is necessary to insure annual
supplies of the various kinds of timber
required for local consumption.
Community Ownership Practiced.
Community ownership Of woodlands,
as already practiced by about sixty
cities in the country, will oftcntimes
lnuke available the necessary land. In
Europe community forests have long
been established and yield good re-
turns on the Investment they represent.
The Swiss city Of Zurich, for example,
derives about $4,000 per year from a
WOOdlOt of $500 acres.
In addition to the actual money re-
turns the trees on the farm have q
value for protection and shelter which
will often justify their preservation
and care Both live stock and crops
benefit by the protection from hot, dry.
ing winds afforded by a woOdlot, while
in winter even a small wOodlot will do
much toward increasing the comfort
of farm life by breaking the forte Of
cold winds and storms.
