their home in Fort Upton. Cal, early
in the summer and who have spent
the summer in MankatO. are now
spending a few days at the home of
their niece and nephew, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mat Matson before leaving for their
home. They had previously thought
they might remain here permanently
but Mrs. Erickson is sufferer from
asthma and the Colorado climate
agrees much better with her than
this climate although they like Min

years before going to Colorado
They will make the homeward trip in
their car.
Many farmers are digging potatoes.
Some have them dug and covered in
the field. While the yield is not as
large as some in previous years, it is
fair and of good quality. Where
the ground is low there is some com
plant of them rotting, caused by the
excessive rains during the latter
part of July and August. However,
there is plenty of potatoes in this
immediate vicinity. Mr.. Matsen who
had about fifteen acres planted has
something over three thousand bush
els. Hans Erickson has about fifteen
hundred, two thousand bushels from
twelve acres and Ed. Tarjerson has
like amount.
The people are trying to comply
with the request to save gasoline.
Your correspondent only noted a
very few cars in evidence on the

Sunday, September 20, the writer
saw while driving with team on
the Madison Lake road hundreds of
cars, the occupants thereof seeming
ly oblivious of the request to save
gasoline We hear it said and we are
believers in the same, that if the
owners of cars were allowed so much
gasoline and no more, would it not
be better?

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 5.-Thet market
Ing and transportation problem WHICH,
after all is said and done, has fur
,1lished the Nonpartisan league with
material for its propaganda in North
dakota and other states. will be given
prominent attention in the farmers
institutes that will, be opened on
January s and which are this year
conducted, for the first time. under
the sole direction Of the state commits
sioner of agriculture and labor.
Ia. announcing the programs worked
up for the several Institutes, only a
partial schedule of which has been
worked out up to the present time, It
is announced that Thomas A Spelling
Of New York city, listed as a former
assistant attorney general of the
United States, "a lawyer OF. consider
able prominence" who h~asS"devoted
Of transportation and marketing prob
ieMs." will be one Of the principal
speakers. Mr.. Spelling is also listed
as "'thes author Of several interesting
books on this subject" y
Up to this year the farmers insti-
tutes have been conducted under the
direction Of q board that included in
its membership the commissioner Of
agriculture and labor, the director Of
the STATE experiment station, the pro-
fessor of. dairying at the agricultural
college. the professor Of agriculture
at the agricultural college, and the
president of the board Of regents in
charge Of the agricultural college.
The last legislature, however, made
q change. the work being shifted from
the agricultural college and expert
mont station. to the state commissioner
Of agriculture and labor.
The change was brought about
through the Nonpartisan league and
engendered a right lively fight, It be-
ing charged by the opposition that
the transfer Of, the institute control to
the commissioner OF agriculture would
make Of the institutes a political in
stitution of no lei proportions, and
which would open the way to further
political propaganda at state expense
under the guise Of better farming
doctrine.
