Prof. II. L. Bolley, botanist and
pathologist of the North Dakota Agri-
to farmers of the state, asking them
to send samples of the "Humpback"
variety of wheat, that the college may
rake experiments with the grain.
Professor Bolley says it is very i'm
poftant that this variety of wheat
be given close study, as the new fed
Grad wheat grades provide a place
for the "Humpback". He also warns
farmers against allowing the Hump
back" to become mixed with other
wheats, as all spring wheat grades are
based on the percentage of Hump
back" they contain, more than two
per cent disqualifying any wheat from
attaining the grade of No. 1, and ten
per cent throwing the grain out Of the

UNWISE ECONOMY
LIKELY TO HURT
ENTIRE NATION
boarding Unpatriotic and
Breeder of Hard Times
Extremes Dangerous.

Minneapolis, May 2.-Carrying war
economy too far will harm the coun-
try instead of helping 1t, according to
Mrs. Margaret J. Blair, expert instruc-
tor in home economics. Hoarding
money. she said, is unpatriotic, as
proved by the experiences OF Canada
early in the war.
In the Dominion, Mrs. Blair said. the
public at first carried economy TO ex-
tremes, bringing on period Of hard
times. Later on, people began SPEND
ing money as usual, and the hard
times vanished.
TO make the war burden easier"
said Mrs. Blair today, people should
live up to their means, but, of course,
should not exceed their incomes,
Hoarding money that should be in
circulation is bound to bring on de-
preston. Women especially are likely
to carry war thrift too far.
Money Hoardinp Brings Woe.
When the public stops spending
money all lines of business suffer.
Thousands OF persons are thrown out
of work by the depression. The very
persons who are doing the boarding
find their own incomes affected-ffnd
that they have killed the goose that
laid the golden egg"
Mrs. Blair, for 20 years was an In
structor in the home economics de-
partment of the University of Mime
sofa. Since the war started, she has
spent much time lecturing in Canada
and is familiar with conditions in all
parts of the Dominion-conditions as
they were In the early days of the war
and as they are now.
Live well, but do not waste" said
Mrs. Blair. That Is the rule being
followed now in Canada. And it Is a
good rule. II people hoard their in
comes, business suffers. II business
suffers, everybody suffers.
Lesson for United States.
Canada found out and we should
profit by Canada's lesson. 1t should
not be necessary for America to suffer
the same hardships before our eyes
are opened.
I'm Canada today, people are living
just as well as they can afford to.
They are buying good clothes, automo-
biles, musical instruments and many
other luxuries. Keeping money in cir
cuIation has improved since the early
part OF the war.
MANY well to do Americans now are
practicing hysterical economy. If this
continues long, many persons may be
thrown out of employment"

And this kind is the only kind that
