Field Crop lInspectionto
Secure Listing Of Seed

Martin Hagen, of the Agricultural
college plant disease and seed survey,
who was in Valley City today, called
on us and explained the work which
is being carried on at this time.
The division of plant pathology Of
the experiment station is cooperating
with the seed laboratory in locating
field Of grain, fax, corn, potatoes, etc.,
which may be of sufficiently high quail
ity to be recommended for use as seed
in 1918. Mr.. Hagen will be glad to
hear from any farmers who would like
to have their fields inspected He will
be working out of towns between Win.
bledon and Minot next week, and it is
hoped that interested growers between
these points mentioned will cooperate
with the field inspector so that they
will be able to get their good seed
listed on the published state seed list
next fall.
Growers who wish to have their
fields inspected should make applica-
ton to the state seed commissioner,
Agricultural college, as soon as pos
sible. Mr.. Hagen will make another
trip through this locality before fall.
Those desiring to do so may leave
their applications at the Office Of this
paper or at their local bank, these will
then either be called for or forwarded
to the state seed commissioner.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 10.-If there
are any better men offered for service
in fighting Germany than the North

heard of them.
With Governor Peter Norbeck of
South Dakota, Governor Frazier was a

feature of modern warfare was util1z-
ed, trenches and all.
Finer young manhood cannot be
found anywhere" said Governor Fraz.
Ter. The two governors were guests at
a banquet at the Minnesota club to.
night.
IN an interview Governor Frazier
said:

subject as we ever did.

good over the state of North Dakota

crops are good. Grain heads are filled

D. Claim Exemption

Bismarck, Aug. 9.-The final sum
mary of the draft registration for
North Dakota was completed this
morning and forwarded to the Office
of the provost marshal general at
Washington. Although the total fig
ures had been wired to the provost
marshal general some time ago, com.
plete summary of the claims for ex.
emptions, aliens, alien enemies, color
ed registrants, and white registrants
was only made complete this morning.
The report shows that 65,60O men
between the ages of 81 and 80, inclus-
i've, were registered in the state of
North Dakota on June 5. One of the
most interesting features of the re-
port is the fact that only "a colored
persons were registered in the state.
The report further shows that 7,242
aliens were registered, and 500 alien
enemies. The report shows that
slightly less that so per cent claimed
exemption on account of dependents
or for industrial reasons.

Would Charge
Allies ! III: More

Washington, Aug. 10.-The govern
ment's war purchasing program was
gone over in detail yesterday by the
new war industries board. It calls
for an elimination of excessive prof
its on war material sold to the Amer
lean and the allied governments and
contemplates protection for the Amer
lean people against extartionate
charges.
Reports that steel producers had
declined to supply the war depart.
ment with an order Of rails for
France because Of the low prices Of
fered, indicated that open opposition
to the announced policy is appear
Ing. The war department declined
either to deny or confirm the rumor,
although it was learned that there
mad been some sort of hitch in me-
gotiations over the order.
Officials are divided in their opin-
ions as to whether the government
can enforce the plan respecting al
lied purchases without the support
Of additional legislation. The nation
al defense act gives it power to
commander supplies for war pur-
poses, but in some circles it is held
this would not give authority for the
government to requisition materials
and resell them to its associates in
the war. .1.-.
The hope of the war board, which
reflects the attitude of the adH,inf-
stration is that industry will be
brought over through negotiations
and that no new laws will be re-
quired. This applies also to the adj
m1nlstration's expressed intention of
seeing that the general public also
obtains it's goods at reasonable
prices. Under the food bill lust
passed by congress the government
mas entire power over the production
and distribution of food, feeds and
fuel and is not worried about It's
ability to deal with these products.
Officials who believe the govern

Its policies concerning allied prices

Swedish Lutheran Pastor
Is Going to New Field

/ Rev. Ernest A. Martell, pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church of this city,
has resigned from the local church and
accepted a charge in South Dakota,
near Vermilion. Rev. and Mrs Mar.
tell will take up their work in their
new field the latter part of September.
They will leave this city Aug. 20 and
will motor to northern Minnesota
where they will spend some time
camping with friends at the beautiful
lakes in the pine woods there. Rev.
Martell is entitled to a vacation at
this time, not having had any during
his three years work here tits hop
ed that these few weeks of recreation
amidst the beauties Of nature will
greatly benefit both the pastor and his
wife. They will also spend some
time in their respective parental
homes at Fergus Falls and Grove City.
After their few weeks of vacation they
will motor to their new field in South
Dakota. Rev. Martell has spent lit
tie over three years in the Valley City
charge During this time a new
church has been built and the parson-
age rebuilt and renovated. This con-
structive and progressive work was
very much enjoyed by Rev. and Mrs.
Martell. The financial assistance re-
ceived from the city during this time
was greatly appreciated. The pastor
and his wife also feel very kindly to-
wards those friends and visitors of the
city who from time to time have at.
tended services, Ladies' Aid, Luther
league meetings and to all those who
in various ways have helped to make
the work here pleasant. Rev. and
Mrs. Martell leave for charge where
work will be more concentrated and
where there will be less driving and
scattering forces and where work will
consequently count more. Rev. Mar.
tell will preach his farewell sermon
here on Sunday, Aug. 10, at 10: 80 a. m.
in the Swedish language and at 8 D. m.
in the English language. He breaches
in the Hobart church at 8 p. m.
