out South Dakota a shortening of the
school and college terms Of the winter
and spring, with the object of releasl
ing the maximum number Of students
men and ~women-for farm work
when it is most needed, is being
agreed. on. "
In most cases, as at State college
here, the decision is being made joint
ly by the students and faculty, !he
students in every case SO far reported
favoring the intensified work and
shorter terms, and pledging themsel-
yes also to engage in actual farm
work when released from school.
State college students, by elimirat-
ing n week of their holiday vaca-
ton and by planning to attend classes
Saturday, to dispense with the spring
vacation and to speed up the courses,
will ave five spring weeks. The stu
dents were unanimously for the plan,
and President 2erisho approved.
At Northern Normal, and other state
school located at Aberdeen, a similar
program of intansification was adopt
ed, 10 per cent Of the students, both
sexes included, state they, will take
up farm work. An additional II
per cent promised either to go into
productive work or to perform other
tasks that would release more quail
flied men for FAM labor.

A LIGHT UNDER A BUsHEL

1T is an unfortunate circumstance that when the Democrats have control of
the Senate, and, by virtue Of that control, Southern Senators. hold the most
important halrnanships, of the Ablest of Southern Senators, John Sharp
Williams, has n better craftsmanship than that n the Library. It is n of
the incidents of Democratic control. That Williams is man of broad min
and foresight vas demonstrated in the recent debate over the bill to author
lie government purchase of farm loan bonds to the amount Of S2OO0OOC GOO
Senator Weeks offered a amendment, which was generally approved. linn
ltng future farm loans to those loans which will increase farm products
M UGH time as the bonds purchased by the government have been re-
deemed. Ordinarily, farm products are food products, but cotton is an I'M
portant exception. Williams, who comes from the cotton producing state of
Mississippi, asked that the loans be limited to the borrowers who would in
crease food products" thus eliminating new loans to cotton growers until
ne arm loan banks aea again on their feet. Weeks readily accepted the
change in language, Williams is far sighted to realize that although cotton.
growers are now reaping hugh profits bad results would fol-
!ow iron government loans which encouraged growers to grow nor heavily
into that crop with corresponding neglect Of food crops. The Weeks amend
nent with the further change suggested by Williams, was in the bill when it
passed the Senate.

Governor Lynn Frazier has called a special session of the legislature IS he
says to relieve the feed and seed situation in North Dakota. This session is
called for January q, and how long the session will continue is probemetcal
at this time. We believe that to call a special session Of our legislature at
this time for the purpose set forth by governor is entirely unnecessary,
as we already have adequate laws, whereby the farmers an make arrange
pents through the various counties to secure seed if necessary. There is q
feeling among many people that u governor and his man, Townley, and
followers have something up their sleeve, which they will spring at the pro-
per time. We hope this is not so, but time will only tell, and we predict that
when the members of the legislative bodies are nicely in their seats, that the
Townley following will have some surprises in store for them. Watch cut.

FACE-SAvING

The new, val board which Secretary Baker has created out # old material
in his Department provides, in it's indicated duties, a piece of a machinery
which we should have had months ago. It is probable, however, that the es-
tabishnent Of the new board is a bit Of camoufage on Mr.. Bakers part, and
that it is designed to save the faces Of some of the bureau chiefs whose de-
fciences are now coming to publicity through the inquiries Of the Senate
cnmmitee- o military affairs. The mel who will compose the new board
may, under the terms o Mr.. Bakers announcement, be relieved of other ad-
ministratve work. This would enable new blood to be instlled into the d-
latory # not moribund bureaus where vital delayhas taken place. Mr.. Baker
