world are thrown open for the surplus
wheat in foreign countries, the U. s.
government may be compelled to pay
the farmer the difference between the
world market price of wheat and the
government fixed price. With two ex-
ceptions wheat can be produced in
practically every large country of any
Importance in the world. There is not
a month in the year in which wheat is
not being harvested in one or the 9TH
er Of these countries. At present it is
being harvested in southern Argen-
tina.
Since wheat is Used largely as
human food, and since not more than
from five to eight bushels per capita
are needed annually, it stands to rea-
son that it will not be long before
production will overtake the demand
and wheat raising will not be nearly
so profitable. Then the man who has
livestock which can make use of the
farm roughage will continue to pros
per as he is now prospering in the
raising of wheat.
Sheep
So long as pork and beef are in
great demand, mutton will also be in
demand, because there are always a
lot Of consumers who will buy meat
to the best advantage to themselves.
There is no class Of livestock better
| adapted to Dickey county than sheep,
especially the western sheep. They
stand the cold, do not need any ex-
pensive shelter, and thrive on feed
that is not utilized by other farm ami
mails. Every farm in Dickey county
can supply all the way from 10 to 100
sheep without noticing any great d.
minuation in feed.
A Sheep for Every Boy In Dickey
County
Arrangements have been made
whereby any boy over IA years Of age
can become the owner Of from one to
i've sheep. He can give his note for
the ewes he buys. Next fall when the
note becomes due he can sell the old
ewes and have the lambs for his sum.

FARM NOTES
BY A. c. kvENNINe, County Agent


Live Stock
With butter retailing at Csc and
oleo making desperate effort to
catch up with it, it is justiiable to
assume that there is world shortage
of fats and meats. Secretary Hous-
ton says, 1.-TWO things are clear: One
is that for a considerable period the
world will have need particularly Of
larger supply Of livestock, and es-
pecially of fats" Then he goes on to
say that we should increase our live
stock products, securing of sufficient
feed, and controlling as far as pos
sible all animal diseases. "The other
is perfecting organizations for intelli-
gently carrying out such programs as
may be undertaken in any commun-
ity.'
By this organization he, of course,
means the Farm Bureau. It is to the
country what Commercial Club is
to tn" city. Where you find live
town, Tito Farm Bureau. With the
two forces federated in a County
Council no problem will be impossible
Of solution.
We need more livestock. It will
take at least ten years If ever we
catch up with the livestock produc-
tion. In the last ten years the human
population has increased probably ten
million or more in the United States,
while the number of head of live
stock has decreased slightly. If sup
ply and demand affect prices, which
they undoubtedly do, then it is not at
all surprising that prices are high.
And they will remain high because it
will be ten years or more for the sup
ply to catch up with the demand, es-
pecially when there is such great
shortage Of livestock in Europe.
Again without celebrating the sub
ject. milk is perfect food. meat is
necessary as a good diet for working
people. and animal fats contain vital
elements that cannot be supplied BY
vegetable oils.

While wheat will continue to be a
good price next year. owing partly
perhaps to government regulation,

Nonpartisan League Meeting.

The heavy rains Of last week, which
made the roads all but impossible,
prevented the holding of the Nonpar-
tisan league basket picnic in this city
on Saturday last, as previously adver-
tised, but it in nowise prevented, the
speaking, which was held in the
Grand Theatre in the afternoon of
that day. Mr.. Frank E. Coulter,
"The Pacific Coast Prophet With a
Message" was the principal orator Of
the day, and his address was delivered
to a packed house in which standing
room was at a premium, scores Of
people who were present for the ex-
press purpose Of hearing him deliver
his message" being unable to, gain
admission, even for standing room.
The speaker, a synopsis Of whose adj
dress appears elsewhere in this issue
Of The Courant, engaged the raRt at
tention Of his large audience from
start to finish and the Interruptions Of
were ssfrequent and painful
and free j. G. Miller, candidate for
reelection to the Legislature, gave q
hidf and interesting resume of GER
tain phases OF his work at Bismarck
during the last session OF the legisla-
ture, which was well received, after
which the meeting was adjourned, the
well stick, Well win spirit being
overwhelmingly ia evidence.

Commercial Club and Fair Board Meet

A joint meeting of the Bottineau
Commercial Club and the board of
directors of the Bottineau County Ag-
ricultural Society was held at the
Commercial Club rooms Tuesday eve
ming for the purpose Of reaching some
decision regarding the Chautauqua,
which through error Or misrepresen-
tation is billed for Bottineau on fair
dates. As a result of this meeting
the Commercial club and City Council
will take action to change the chau-
tauqua dates.
Bottineau city will do anything in
it's power to boost the fair and will
do away with all entertainment that
d~etracts from the fair. The city has
always stood by the fair association
in this respect in the past and this
fair is a Bottineau county fair-not
a Bottineau city fair.

New Mexico, South Dakota, Wiscon-
sin and Indiana report a marked
shortage. The bureau has 100 teach
ers' applications and 900 vacancies
listed, but large percentage of those
seeking positions, it is pointed out,
are not qualified for work in the de-
partments where the greatest def
cheney exists.
To cope with what is expected to
be an unprecedented labor shortage
later in the year, a new department
of the United States employment serv-
ice has been organized to handle rail.
road labor for the western regional
district. By order of Director Gen
eral McAdoo the railroads have abol-
ished their labor bureaus and the gov
eminent agency will recruit their men
as we'll as direct the distribution, In
event OF an acute shortage of work
ers in maintenance of way depart
ments, it is planned to suspend work
not absolutely necessary and send men
from these locations to points where
they are more urgently needed. A
great number of laborers are said to
have left the roads because of the
higher wages they can obtain in mines
or factories.
So far the farmers of the central
West and Northwest have had little
difficulty in finding enough help. Most
of them demand experienced hands.
but are being urged by employment
officials to accept more men from the
public service reserve. which consists
for the most part of students. In a
few western states the harvest labor
question is being taken up by COM
munities, each community mobilizing
emergency workers to help nearby
farmers. Mobile forces of harvesters
are also being organized to begin
with the Kansas winter wheat harvest
and move northward through the Da-
kotas and other northwestern states
where the wheat is ready for cutting
after the Kansas harvest is over.
These men, with the hands available
from the public service reserve, are
expected to furnish ample farm labor.

ployment bureau is department Or

turning from the war The commit
tee for the handicapped private or

INDUSTRIAL MAN
POWER Of j. {.
NOT CRIPPLED

CHICAGO, May 20-.The nations
industrial man power has not suf-
fered as a result of the United States
first year in the world war, so far as
indicated in recent surveys of the gen.
eral labor situation conducted by the
United States employment service and
the Illinois free employment bureau.
Except in certain skilled trades these
bureaus find there is no marked
shortage of labor, the chief problem
at present being distribution.
The labor turnover so far this year
has been greater than in previous
years. This is attributed to some ex-
tent to unusual opportunities for in
dividual betterment offered by plants
working on war contracts.
On an average 100000 persons are
obtaining employment through the
Chicago district office of the federal
bureau as Compared with a total of
$4,000 during the last fiscal year.
This huge increase is accounted for
by the recent reorganization of the
bureau for service as the national ma
chinery for the mobilization and dis
tributiOn of the country's labor. AS
such it has handled the applications
of hundreds of thousands of workers
registering with the public service re-
serve, including more than 10000
mechanics for shipbuilding.
A system of daily surveys shows
the bureaus whore the greatest short
ages or surpluses exist, and with this
information it is able to make eco
nomic distribution. Manufacturers
are being urged to use the govern
ment agency as far as possible in or
der to reduce the labor turnover and
uneconomic competition between in
dustrials essential to the war.
At the state employment bureau
5000 persons sought work in March,
and there, too, the demand is in
about equal balance with the supply,
except in a few trades Positions
We're found for nearly all the appli-
cants.
The demand for women workers is
said to be about normal Only in a
few isolated cases have they replaced
men called to the colors. A few
plants engaged on war contracts have
employed large numbers of women
without difficulty.
Many women teachers are said to
be reaching the school rooms for more
remunerative employment, and the
draft has drawn so heavily upon the
already scant supply of men teachers
that several states report the situa-
ton alarming for next year. A sur
vey of thirty-seven states Just com
pleted by the professional service di-
vision of the federal bureau shows
that during the present school year

tween $50 and 200 schools because
