WORDS OF WISE MEN

Every heart carries It's weight
Of sorrow, but not for that may
the life drop its work. If we
refuse to be Of use to others
until we are free from troubles
Of our own we shall spend years
in waiting and complaining.
AS long as idleness is shut
out from our lives all the sins
Of wantonness are prevented
and there is little danger Of
temptation.
incompetence, slackness, ig-
nOrant neglect are the causes Of
half our woes. Let us be in
formed, let us be determined
and we shall not fail.

tory and the western half of North
Dakota, and the shortage of feed.
In the northwestern counties Of
Montana, the prospects for spring
planting are better than in other sec
tons of the state. Much land that
was broken last year for flax will
probably be seeded to wheat this
spring. In North Dakota, there has
been very heavy increase in the
rye acreage, running from so per cent
to Is per cent over last year. Pres
ent indications are that there will be
a decrease of from 10 per cent to IS
per cent in the spring wheat acreage,
although favorable spring with the
present attractive grain prices may
have the effect of overcoming to some
extent the present prospective short
age. South Dakota has heavily in
creased the rye acreage, and in COM
mon with Minnesota and North Da-
kota, will probably show decreased
planting of corn. There is some in
crease in the rye acreage in Mime
sofa, and the prospect of consider
able increase in the spring planting
Of barley.
Livestock Situation.
The extent to which extremely fav.
orable prices for live stock have off
set the 1917 losses on grain crops
throughout the entire district is hard
ly appreciated except by those who
have closely followed the situation.
One of the fortunate results of the
past year is that farmers were thus
enabled to discount the serious ef
fects of the crop failure. In western
North Dakota and eastern Montana,
there will be many instances in the
spring Of farmers, especially those
who have recently gone into these
sections, who will need financial as
sistance in putting in their crops. Ov-
err the remainder Of the district, farm
ers are in very fair financial shape.
The chief agricultural problem at this
time is that of obtaining satisfactory
supplies Of seed. and Of providing
method for the financing Of seed pur
chases in the districts that were hard
est hit by last years failure.
There is noticeable change in puo-
lie opinion with the coming of the
new year. The determination Of the
people of the northwest to stand solid
ly by the government and render the
fullest possible support in men and
money under present war conditions
is clearly apparent. People, who in
1917, kept business on an even keel
and were yet able to subscribe $685.
591. 900 for the purchase of war bonds,
and who are represented in every
branch of the naval and military SER
vice, and who have sent large forces
to the fighting front and to the train
ing camps, may be depended upon dur
ing the coming year to fully discharge
any responsibilities that are placed up
on them.

I, Purchase Of Seed.
Wit hthe promise of federal assist
ance in purchasing and storing such
seed as can be located, the prospect
OF saving considerable part of the
seed, that can be located in the hands
of farmers is much improved. Active
efforts are in progress to encourage
all Il banks IN the portions Of the
Ninth district where corn is raised, to
report during the next fifteen days the
total amount of seed that can be pur-
chased IA their localities. These re-
ports, in addition to those already re-
ceived will constitute a census of the
plrchasable seed corn within the
Ninth district, and will provide a bas-
is upon which the deficiency of seed
for spring planting can be estimated.
It is Improbable that the supplies dis
covered by this process will be suffi.
cient, together with the amounts re-
served by individual farmers, to plant
a normal spring acreage.
The business outlook throughout the
district has improved somewhat dur
ing the past ten days as a result OF
the cancellation of railroad priority
orders, and there is a prospect that
needed shipments will come forward
more readily than for some time past
While no apprecable change in the
