SITUATION SERIOUS
IN WESTERN n. D.

~Ns AAN AASAv AVS ~
A survey of the seed and feed
situation i'll the state by Commits.
sioner Of Agriculture and Labor
j. n. Hagan discloses that .26
states are i'll need of outside assist
ance i'll feed and than ten states
need outside help in both feed and
seed. Commissioner Hagan bases
his conclusion on 15S statements
by bankers, state senators and re-
presentatives, and county commits
sioner Of Agriculture and Labor
out by the commission of agricu!-
ture and labor regarding the seed
and feed situation several weeks
ago.
1.-The concensus Of opinion fror,
this large number of reports cover
ing almost the entire state" says
Commissioner Hagan in drawing
his conclusions, sis that ther. is
"a great danger of grain which
should bc retained for next year S
seed being sold too closely Many
farmers will be compelled to sell in
order to meet obligations, and
many others will have to sell what
should be retained for seed in ord
er that they may buy feed to car
ry them through the winter. The
feed situation is very serious thru
cut the central and western part of
the state and thousands of cattle
are being shipped and will be ship
ped out of the state and sold at a
great sacrifice. :"
AS Commissioner Hagan brings
out his conclusion, the feed situa-
tion is very serious i'll the central
and western part Of the state. Nc
Henry county, which is probably as
bad off as any in the state, reports
that there will barely be sufficient
wheat and rye for next year 5
feed, while oats and barley are very
scarce with not enough to supply
seed for next year. The feed sit.
uation in McHenry is very serious
and the farmers report that they
are already selling off much of Their
stock in anticipation of a short
age of roughage. Mclean county ,;
reports read practically the same as
those from McHenry especial,
with regard to the feed situation
| Billings county reports enough
wheat and reye for seed next year
but the reports from this county
emphasize that there will not bt
half enough hay for the loca
needs. Other counties that re
port a serious feed situation ar,
Bottineau, Burke, Burleigh. Div
ide, Dunn, Eddy, Hettinger, Mer
Ger, Morton, Mountraill, Oliver
Pembina, Pierce, RenvilIe, Sheri
dan, Slope, Walsh, Ward and VIII
liams.
The survey of the seed an. fee,
situation was taken to familiariz'
the commissioner of agricultur,
and labor with actual conditions a
they exist throughout the stat
with Il view to securing relief t.
those communities which need aid
Now that the actual conditions hav
been ascertained the administra
tions officials will consider way
and means of aiding those countie
which actually need help. Wha
steps will be taken has not been de-
termined upon yet, but some pla,
/ of relief will probably be worke.
out by the commissioner of agri
culture within the next few weeks
/ AS an Immediate remedy for tn,
conditions in many of the co,,n
J ties. Commissioner Hagan warn
the farmers in the counties where
there is shortage of seed not t.
! sell too colse. and he urges a con
servation of feed roughage in tn,

said lady Monday evening as the
music of many voices came TO us as
we were driving west of town No
one seemed to know, so to satisfy a
quite lively curiosity the machine
was turned homewards and in a few
minutes We located the singing in
the park. Monday evening is not US
ually holiday night in Audubon, but
the park was full of people, not less
than four hundred men, women and
children, and a solid line of automo-
biles were parked south of it.
The band stand was the center of
attraction as usual, but this time in
stead of the usual brass band there
was fine group of men and women.
Audubon's best vocalists, singing the
beautiful old songs and asking every
body to join in to make more music
on the summer air. After a few
numbers by the whole assembly there
were some special features. Mrs
Clarence NiklasOn sang a solo, which
was so heartily enjoyed that she was
persuaded to sing another. Then af-
ter a little more chorus work, j. w
Landrum and Mrs. Martin Kjer sang
a duet. Their voices blended beau
tifully and the audience showed their
appreciation by doing some vigorous
applauding which brought them back
with another song.

to sing America we thought it was all

GOING FAST AND SELLING HIGH.

The past week has been marked
by still greater activities in the sale
of farm lands than the week preced-
ing. Farms at $500 in the vicinity of
Elk Horn are growing scarce, and a
number OF them are climbing up into
the S300 class. If farm land near
Elk Horn is worth the money for
which it is selling. there certainly is
no reason why land near Kimballton
should not be worth as much, and as
soon as the public generally awakes
to this fact we predict plenty OF
ready takers for some of the farm
bargains in this vicinity.
j. p. Carlsen's farm sold to Nels
Sorensen of Rorbeck for $500, the
highest price that has yet been paid
for any farm in this community.
Years ago this same farm sold for
$201, the highest price that any farm
land previous 10 that time had
brought 1t will be interesting to
note how many years ii will be til,
the same land adds a proportionate
increase to its value. If this instance
may be used as a basis OF comparison.
Iowa farm land has in the past ten
years increased 80 per cent in value.
-KimballtOn Record.
The price paid for this tract oi
land is certainly setting new pace.
Ii WIS the Danish people who came
to this county who improved the
farms and made the county what it is
today. eW may expect land to sell
even higher in the future.

We must not fail to mention the in
strumentalists who added so much to
the success of the entertainment. Miss
Dunn was at the organ and the Sono
orchestra, composed of the Misses
Schmidt. Farquhar, Keath and Sheets
furnished the accompaniment.
The observer has but one fault to
find. More people should take part
in the singing. There is no reason
why there should not be two hundred
people singing in this chorus and the
leaders urge every one who can sing,
even a little, to group themselves
closer to the instruments and give
this little to swell the volume of
sound that is going TO be heard of all
over the county. Country residents
are especially urged to come and
help.

Here is the list of don'ts that Helen
added to the already long column in
her memorandum book:
Don't expect a baby to learn good
manners by being told once or twice.
Good manners is a habit and a habit
is formed by repetition of the same
act many times.
Don't wait until baby is year old
to begin to teach him to go to sleep
on the bed without being rocked.
Start right the first day and he will
never know any other way.
Don't neglect the teaching of clean

1t saves labor and the child is sweet

Don't think that because war is re-
curing so much OF our time and en-
ergy that we can afford TO neglect the
work for babies. The conservation
of the child is more necessary in war
times because life is more strenuous
and it is the weak that go to the
