SAYS SOUTH NOW FEEDING ITSELF
U. s. Chamber of Commerce Review -.@ Says Section Now
 Exports Corn.

Washington, Jan. IA review of business conditions made public by the United States Chamber of Com merce, says that with the exception of Texas and Oklahoma, Southern states, have raised more than enough corn for their own needs, and are in position to ship it.
 The review tells changed condi- tions caused in certain sections of the South year ago 'by boil weevil excessive rains and the fact that ne- groes, the staple agricultural labors CTS were leaving by thousands for the East"
 Today, it says the reports from those sections are optimistic be- yond expression"
 The enlarged acreage of corn. which has been of excellent grade, except in Texas and Oklahoma, the report says, has proved sufficient to ship and there is an abundance of other feed for live stock, so that stock rais- ing is becoming more and more an important adjunct of farming in the territory south of Mason and Dixons line"
 Regarding diversification of crops in the South. the review says:
 "The production of peanuts from Virginia along the Atlantic coast into southern Georgia and across into Ok lahoma and Texas is becoming mat ter of great import, the product run ming into many millions of dollars
 Cotton, it says, is now being rais- ed in moderate way as far south as Tampa Bay.
 Rice and sugar cane crops were not as large as in some years past" the review says, but brought higher prices. An unprecedented drouth in Texas hurt cattle raising and has not been entirely relieved, but 1t has serv- ed to give impetus to efforts to raise goats and sheep"

WITH THE EDITORS.
FROM THE KEPT PRESS

The only answer that we care to make to Ger
tain misleading and highly erroneous statements
recently spewed from |. w. w. sources is this:
Every dollar that comes to the Observation-Disclosures
comes to US in the regular course Of business and
is earned by hard work. We aim in every instance
to give value received for every dollar paid to US.
The receipts are from our regular subscribers,
from the business men Of FOrman, and from the
small percentage of the business awarded to us
by the county officials. We do not get all the
county business. as has falsely been said many
times by the jealous. There are five other papers
in the county and the Wahpeton Globc-Gazette to
which the bulk of the JOB printing goes. Under
the law we can only charge usual advertising
rates for notices Of candidacy for public office.
No candidate has ever & ven us sum Of money
that we dill not justly earn. In the past three
campaigns, candidates have been very careful as
to their expenditures because Of the law govern
ing such expenditures. We have had candidates
for state office write us and say they were cx-
ceedingly sorry that they could not send us at
least SIS for advertising their candidacy, but found
they were forbidden to send more than a dollar,
because they had reached the limit of expenditures
allowed by law. The sum total Of the income Of
Observation-Disclosures has not made US rich, but we
are alive, fairly happy and will be as ready to
help our friends in the future as in the past and
to boost for our county in particular and the state
in general. We have printing office equipped
to GO twice the work we are now doing, and we'll
try to stir up enough business to buy print paper
and a meal of crackers and cheese each day.

innocent, suffering demonstration Of the folly OF
the three fools. At her was aimed Joyces vii
lainy, mothers faithlcssness and fathers pistol.
The superb, concentrated folly Of it all is apprc-
cated only after the explosion Of the triangle.
We intend no criticism Of the Joyce jury in
suggesting that it might have been well to put
him away, by himself, in quiet and peace, for a
time, that he might calmly study folly, in the abb
stract and in the concrete. Society, which finally
indirectly pays much Of the cost Of 'tranglcs,
is to be somewhat considered. Certainly "rcd
rage" in folks who continue to live with untrue
wives, or husbands either should not be permitted
to become epidemic. We must conserve all the
gunpoWder possible for use in the worlds war, for
one thing.

Decrease in Slaughter of Meat
Animals During 1917
Shown 49,

Washington, D. c., March 13.-Evf.
ileace that the public made general
response to the food administrations
appeal for increased production and
decreased consumption of meat is
shown in statistics furnished the 1000
administration today by the depart
nent of agriculture.
Meat animals in the United States
increased by $500, 900 in the year
ending January !, 1918, the increase
consisting of l,247, 900 cattle, 1881 600
hogs, and l,2S4,000 sheep Inspections
OF beef for slaughter increased $685..
e5l or PAS per cent, but inspection OF
hogs decreased 21.3 per cent, more
than 5000. 900 head, and inspections
OF sheep fell off 2l.9 per cent approx.
inlately 100000 head
The gains in available meat indicat-
ed by these figures were what caused
the food administration recently to
relax restrictions on meat cOnsump-
ton, so that there might be greater
saving of wheat for export.
Exports of all kinds of meat de-
creased during the year, due to lack
of ships.
Prices paid for meat animals were
higher than ever before. The average
price of beef advanced 22l per cent,
from $3.50 per 100 pounds in 1916 to
$l160 in 1917. Hogs advanced from
$500 to $3.50, a total of 81 per cent,
and sheep increased 40 per cent, from
$785 to $11.

even they themselves might some day find them
selves face to face with charge of disloyaly, and
so they are starting movement to have him re-

Yes, we thought that things were getting bit
warm to suit some of our radical friends, SO now
they are going to try and rid themselves of this
thorn in the flesh. Doyle who has been good
democrat all of his life, has been performing his
duty in too fine style to satisfy this bunch
However the movement to GUST Doyle will
