Flax Crop Not
Hurt By Frost

The fax crop of North Dakota has
not suffered from frost, in the opin :
ion of w r. Porter, superintendent
Of the demonstration farm OF the
agricultural college.
The Canadian fax crop is report
ed to- have suffered severely from
the cold weather of the last week.
Mr.. Porter has just returned from
q trip through the state. Il exam
ined several flax fields in the James
town and Goodrich districts that
were in no way injured. / am con-
fident that the North Dakota flax
is unhurt because of the cold wealth
er with the possible exception of the
Minot district which l have not Wis
tied. AS very little flax Is planted
in that region the damage in this
state is not appreciable."

little work In the rural districts, Is
cited ais the reason for the poor
chance of living afforded the rural
Infant.
THE conditions in North Dakota
would seem to indicate that a minor
part of our people are receiving In
efficient public health service, but
the major part exceedingly poor SER
vice" observes The Pennant.
In 1917 there were recorded A.
406 deaths in the whole state. Of
which 906 were OF infants. under I
year of age. In the same year there
were recorded in 81 cities Of the
state, 1,57e deaths of which 1856 were
infants under 1 year. This would
leave the country districts 1884
deaths OF which 81 were of infants
under year In other words, 2S.6
per cent of all deaths in the coun-
try districts Of our state are of in
fants under ! year. or one in every
3.5 deaths. Compare this with the
infant death rate of the cities of our
state and you are at once struck
with the enormous handicap of the
country infant.
Little Support Given.
"The prime cause of this great
difference between the country
death rate and the city death rate is
not hard to find Our public health
work has been largely confined to
the cites, while the rural districtC
have been left pretty much to take
care of themselves. The mere pit
lance that the state board of health
Is given Is barely enough to keep
1t in existence, leave alone do any
intensive public health work. Until
we can have state department Of
health, co-ordinating existing public
health agencies, with full time Of
ficiaI as chief executive and with
adequate financial support, it goes
without saying that nothing else can
be expected than an abnormally
high death rate with it's inevitable
suffering and loss.
According to the figures quoted,
and under existing conditions, the
soldier in the trenches has 16 times
better chance of living one year than
has a baby born In the country dis
tricts of North Dakota, If Sherman's
definition of war was correct, what
about our infant r1ortality?"

- Bushels of
Wheat Cleaned

A Casg county woman has report
ed the results OF cleaning the fields
following the harvest and from a 500
acre tract, 43 bushels of wheat were
salvaged. The work was done with
a horse drawn rake. This conserv-
or Of the nations food supply adj
vises that any one planning such an
undertaking do so at once as the
interval between the harvesting and
autumn blowing is so short a one
that the cleaning Of the fields must
be done promptly. From these re-
suits it will be seen that a not In
significant amount Of wheat could
be secured in the state IL the prac-
tice was widespread.
