facts which. Of course, have been in the possession Of
the American government for some time. Sweden has
been the willing medium for the transmission OF infor-
nation to and from the German foreign office. Steps
must be taken to insure that she will not continue to be
the medium. willing or not, through which Germany is
fed and armed with goods from the United States or any
of her allies.
The first contingent OF s per cent OF the national
army men has reached qurters at the several canton
Slments, and these men will be followed on the 18th and
the few days thereafter by the next 40 per cent. In
Grand Forks county the second cali for registered men
to appear for examination has been made in order that
the quota from this county may be made complete. Elk
animation OF these men has already been made and the
question Of exemptions is now before the board.

While the enrolment of recruits is in progress the
war department announces that without any of the ma
tonal army, which is composed of drafted men, there
are now enlisted in the army and navy of the United
States and on active duty more than q million men. These
include all branches of the regular service and the Ma
tionaf Guard. which, of course, is now in the federal
service. This number is much greater than most people
have supposed. The organization of the national army,
on the basis of conscription, which is new
with us, has naturally attracted much attention, and the
liar, has been scarcely noted. The figures, however, show
that the adoption Of the draft has by no means .pre-
vented volunteer enltstments.

been a very substantial income de-
rived from this source. But 1t was

Intention to feed out the calves, keep

these cattle Will show a greater re-
turn per acre from the corn and all

secured from grain crops ON III aver
age
This trial at least indicates how
quickly a bunch Of cattle will in-
crease, and also that there need not
be any great expense gone to in pro-
viding sheds, as they have been win
tered in a straw shed that did not cost
a dollar for each head of stock that 1T
will shelter. This shed is SO feet wide.
and so feet long, and will. easily ac-a
commodate a hundred head.of average.
farm cattle.
During the winters. owing to the,
fact that we have had a silo, we, are
able to utilize the corn crop secured,
to the best advantage. In fact, the
cattle are fed some si1age every day
from the time they are brought In.
from pasture, until they are taken ont
again in the spring. They also have
some alfalfa hay and straw, and come
through the winter in splendid shape.

CLEAN WHEAT BEFORE MARKETING

There is probably no other investment that the north
western farmer can make today which win yield him re-
turns even approxirnating those which he can realize from
the necessary investment in labor with which to clean his
wheat before marketing it.
Except where the conditions are altogether out of
the ordinary, the cleaning of wheat at home is almost
always profitable. Under favorable conditions the farm
er has been able to realize something for the foreign mat
ter in his grain provided it has had an appreciable feed
ing value. But the price received has practically never
|equalled the value of the feed on the farm. And in addi-
ton to impairing the appearance, and therefore the sal
ability of the wheat, there were freight charges to pay on
the dockage from the local elevator to the terminal be-
fore anything could be realized. Still, under the practice
of selling by sample, which was very frequently followed,
the farmer did realize something, and often a substan-
til sum, for this otherwise waste matter.
Those who grow and market wheat are familiar with
the procedure. Grain is graded according to fixed STAN
dards, in which weight, hardness, color and a number of
other elements were taken into consideration, and in the
prices were established for the several grades. But it was
not necessary to, sell by grade. Often sales were made by
sample, that is, samples representing a car were exhibited
on the board Of trade and bids were received on those
samples. This was often done when a sample of good
wheat was mixed with a large quantity Of foreign matter
which had a feed value. Oats. barley, wild oats, and
some other seeds, while not desirable in wheat, still were
valuable as feed for stock. Where sales were made by
sample buyers would often bid a price higher than the
price established for the grade to which the shipment be-
longed. This premium was in consideration Of the feed
value in the dockage. 4
Under the present practice established by the govern
ment no provision is made for this. Grades and prices
are established on the basis Of cleaned wheat, and sales
by sample are not contemplated. In the actual working
out Of this the farmer will receive nothing for the feed
contained in his dockage. That feed is valuable. It is
worth money. Somebody gets It. But the farmer pays
freight on it and receives nothing for It.
Perhaps some better arrangement could have been
made. But 1t was not made. Two courses are open to
the farmer. One is to protest against rules which are now
established and in operation, and which are not likely to
be changed, at least for the marketing Of this crop. The
other is to clean the, wheatNand keep the dockage at home.
This practice, almost always profitable Is doubly so today
when feed Of every kind Id bFfn6fnV high prices 81 nv
cleaning his grain the farmer will save freight charges,
will strengthen the grade of his wheat, and will retain
for his own use a large quantity Of feed at a time when
commercial feeds are selling from $50 a ton upwards.

TAG A NEXT FRIDAY

The committee in charge have fixed Friday, sSeptenl-
Der 81, as the annual Tag Day for Grand Forks.
The practice OF tagging" people has not been
abused in Grand Forks as it has been In some communities
By common consent we have had one Tag Day a year
and one subject for which collections of money were made
by the tag system. Collections have been made for many
other purposes, but this particular method has been re-
served exclusively for the raising Of funds with which 70
pay the cost of keeping a visiting nurse in the field and
of providing the material needed for her work.
In the visiting nurse, Miss McCulloch, Grand Forks
has a public servent who Is unusually well fitted for this
work, and who has been able, by the intelligent perform
ance Of her duties, not only to relieve suffering among
those who are destitute or nearly so, but to perform a con.
structive work of permanent value in teaching the I'M
informed needed lessons in the prevention Of disease. 1t
Is splendid to minister to the sick. It is better to create
conditions which will prevent people from becoming sick
Both Of these things have been accomplished under the
efficient management which has been given to this work.
The money raised on Tag Day is used for the pay
ment of the salary of the visiting nurse, for the purchase
of occasional delicacies for the ill and convalescent, and
for the small amount Of material needed in the conduct
of the settlement and general educational work. None
of the funds are expended for any other purpose. sOn the
other hand. no money other than that received from the
Tag Day and simiIar. donations is available for these pur-
poses. The maintenance of the work depends absolutely
on the response which the people make to the appeals
for personal aid.
Let it not be understood that there is anything in the
nature of competition between the cause for which the
Tag Day donations are asked and the cause represented
by the Red Cross, for instance There is no competition.
The cause is one, and each activity represents a special
phase of it. We must keep the Red Cross work going
The men who are being marshaled by the hundred thou
sand for service in the armies of freedom will need, and
be given by a loyal, united and enthusiastic people And
in order that that support may be given in full measure
and in effective form we must keep ourselves fit. The
health and strength Of the people must be maintained.
To permit preventible Illness to be a drain on the strength
of the community is to fail in the performance of our
duty to the nation at a critical time.

FARM DRAINAGE

Lack of proper drainage of farm
lands is far more important than
some believe. Those who have had
drouth this year can handily appre-
ciate the need of drainage.
In East Texas. Arkansas, East Ok
lahoma and portions of Louisiana
drainage is of paramount Importance,
not only for health but for productive
SOIL
Commissioner John H. Page of Ark
ansas says as to the Importance Of
drainage and terracing in Arkansas:
1t pays to farm good land Some
fields produce a bale of cotton to
the acre while others produce less
than third of bale per acre. The
breaking, planting and cultivation on
the good soil is just about the same
as on the poor soils. The only ad-
ded cost in producing the larger
