Of 10 years ago When England sent

we are giving SPECIAL attention to
altitude aviation. The higher an aero
plane ascends the slower becomes the
speed, owing to the effect upon the
carburetor. A device has been per

and the aviator finds no difficulty in
breathing without his oxygen outfit

OF A RUDE"

In 1870 there yer only 3,4OO farms
in the U. S. that embraced more than
1000 acres each. In 1880 this had
been multiplied by nine-nearly 3d.
600. In 1900 the number of farms
containing more than 1000 acres had
jumped to 47,160, and in 1910 to 5O,-
1876. Thus do we see the number Of
farmers" who farm the farmers on
the increase.
According to the statistics the
number of farms owned in North Da-
kota free Of debt decreased from 68.6
in 1900 to 49.1 in 1910, while the num-
Der of farms mortgaged increased
from 31.4 in 1900 to 500 in 1910. And
with these figures staring US in the
face there r still editors who try
to kill off the N. P. League and show
that there is no cause for it!
The number Of tenant farmers in
the United States increased from 1874
in 1890 to 37.1 in 1910.
The Massachusetts, bureau Of sta
tistics showed a few years ago when
the cost of living was less than now,
that a family. of five could not live
decently and in health upon less than
$745 a year, but more than half Of
the unskilled workers in the shoe
making industry Of that state got less
than $500 a year. Which goes to
show that laborers should organize
and that organized farmers and or
gained laborers should join hands.
Out Of ST., DOC 900 acres disposed
of to individuals and corporations,
there have been acquired through the
exercise Of the homestead right only
115, 100000. The railroads and 9TH
er corporations had bestowed upon
them by congressional grants, with
out any return whatever to the gov
eminent. In round numbers 123,0o0,-
900 acres. tn addition to that, there
has been conferred upon the rail-
roads by state grants land therefore
granted by the federal government
to the several states, increasing the
total grant to the railroads in round
NUMBERS to zoe, 000, 900 acres Of land,
enough to make the states Of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and
Wisconsin.
The original grants to the Northern
Pacific and to the railroads of the
present Union Pacific, Southern Pa
ciic system amounted to o than
ninety million acres of land; a small
empire in itself. OF this, nearly
$1,000, 900 acres have already been
patented and most of the remainder
will ultimately be obtained. The
above is based on the report Of the
U. S. Commissioner Of Labor, 1918.

G POTATOES.

Every year potato growers lose
heavily because Of field frost. Some
times the potatoes r so seriously
frosted that they are never dug. At
other times when the frost injury is
not so serious the potatoes are dug
and shipped and the frost injury de-
velopes enroute and always creates
trouble between the shipper and the
receiver of the potatoes. To avoid this
trouble it is best to dig the potatoes
early and either ship them or get
them under cover where frost will not
iniure them. Where the vines have
been killed by frost they should be dug
without delay as no more growth is
taking place. On account Of the dan
ger Of a severe frost it is not advisa-
Bile to delay digging beyond Sept. 80
at the latest.
When digging potatoes it is we'll to
let them lie exposed to the u for
several hours before picking them up
so that the skins will become more
firm. In order to avoid bruising it
is advisable to empty the potatoes in
to sacks from the picking baskets,
rather than empty them loose into
the wagon box. When in sacks they
can also be handled more convenient
". If put into storage the potatoes
should be lowered into the cellar in
the sacks rather than dumping them
in, which may bruise many of them,
thus opening the way for dry rot to
set in. HI. O. Werner, N. D. Exper-
iinent Station.

was oil right in, its way, but working
beneath the ground soon palled on
young kauff. and as he had played
ball at odd times he decided to take
up the gamo AS n profession. Kauff's
inther objected strongly to this
move. He said Benny would never
get anywhere in baseball, and anyway
baseball wasn't half as substantial

refused 10 listen He got berth with

more playing ball than he could have
earned digging coal. and Pa Kauff
began to look on the brighter side of
it.

with Parkersburg in the Cotton States
league Pa kauf consented, and Ben

played out the season of 1910 with
the Parkersburg club and was drafted

pitched and played the outheld. He
