R. L. Coons, the local Young Mems Christian association secretary, might have been taken for the "Pied Piper of Hameln" Monday afternoon as he left the city about o'clock with about l50 boys following. It was not strange, mysterious music that induced the youngsters to follow him, however, but

CROP ROTATION SOLVES
LABOR PROBLEM ON FARM
(By w. e. Palmer, North Dakota
Agricultural College)

The one crop system requires a
great deal of labor at certain seasons
Of the year, but has nothing for. the
laborer to do during the times when
the crops do NOT require attention.
This makes the labor expensive as
compared to a system of farming
that requires about the same number
of men the year around. When the
crops are rotated and stock is pro-
duced the labor demand can be made
pretty near constant throughout the
year. This means not only that the
labor can be secured for less but also
that it will be a better kind of labor,
as the best laborers as a rule do not
want to go to work that offers employ
ment for only a few months.
The grass and hay crops, for in
stance, do not require attention at
the same time as the grain crop. The
corn crop demands attention at still
a little different time, and the live
stock will require more attention in
the winter than in the summer, so that
the farm on which a variety Of crops
is grown and stock is produced, the
labor needs will be distributed over
the year instead of being punched at
certain seasons, as is the case in con-
tinuous grain growing.
The aim in a factory is to keep
equipment busy as many hours in the
week as possible. The same needs to
be done on the farm. The horses are
a part of the farm equipment that
under the n crop system is not kept
busy as many days in the year as
where the crops are rotated. It has
been found In Minnesota that on an
average the horse works but three
hours a day, or as one editor put it:
1.-THE horse gets one meal for each
hour Of work DONE" North Dakota
farmers are rapidly turning to other
crops in addition to grain, which is
going to improve the labor situation
and at the same time make the farm
more profitable.

SINCLAIR AGAINST
RETURN OF ROADS

J. 81. Sinclair, Nonpartisan league
congressman, has issued a warning to
the people through the congressional
frank that the return Of the rail-
roads to private control will cost at
least $4,000, 100000 in higher charges
for commodities due to increased
freight rates. On the back page Of
the Congressional Record the league
statements from Robert Woolley,
member of the interstate commerce
commission, indicating the enormous
advanced costs of private operation.
Director General Hines of the rail-
road administration is quoted as show
ing that a freight rate increase
amounting to $500, O0O,0 600 was reflect
ed in higher costs to Of
$1,5O0, 100000. Hines and Woolley
agree that the government is now op-
Grating the lines at a profit and that
with existing expenditures IA con-
tinue to operate a far less expense
than will fall upon the public if the
private companies again get posses
sion. Representative Sinclair declared
that a proper solution of the railroad
question will go far toward allaying
Industrial unrest and he offered the
testimony Of these experts as showing
that the way to safeguard the inter-
ests of the farmer as well as every
other ultimate consumer does not lie
in turning back the properties to
private control.
In the struggle v e the Plumb plan
Of railroad ownership and control
which Is rapidly becoming the domin-
ant issue in congress, politicians are
en%deayoring to dodge the issue Of cost
to the consumer. Sinclair is going to
undertake to keep this issue to the
front.

then In Petrograd at once issued a
series of proclamations completely
changing the Industrial system.
They declared all banks, mines, rail-

eminent but by the soviets in each

+. In the majority of cases the local
soviets of workingmen fired the for

committees from among themselves to
manage these industries.
The farmer soviets took possession
Of the big estates and divided them
among themselves.
In some Instances the workingmen
soviets operated the Industries sue
cessfully, but in the majority of cases
these soviets either failed completely
or experienced a gradually decreasing
production.
Initial Failures.
These failures are attributed by
several American writer's to the ignor-
ance and inexperience Of the work.
men the cumbersome nature of the
managing committees; lack of knowl-
edge in obtaining raw materials and a
market; lack of system and internal
strife; the payment of equal wages
to all.
While local soviets were failing and
Russian production was rapidly de-
clining, the central soviet government
took steps to perfect the new system
and save it.
It united the public industries as
rapidly as possible into one system.
It entered into cooperation with the
local soviets.
It abolished the system Of equal
pay and introduced the system of pay
ing according to value Of the service,
It combed Russia to get expert
managers, superintendent and office
forces to manage the industries.

RUSSIA EXAMPLE Of SYSTEM THAT COLLAPSED
BECAUSE RULING CLASS PREVENTED PROGRESS
People Forced to Achieve BY Force What They Should Have Accomplished BY BaNot-Farme
and Workers Take Over Industries in Greatest Public Ownership
Experiment in History Of World

4 England today is the most per
feet example Of a system In process of
change by solid, orderly growth
through the development of co-opera-
lives, public ownership, and labor or
ganszation, Russia is the most striking
example of what may happen when
the machinery Of orderly development
ID INSTRUCTED.
The machinery of orderly develop
ment was INSTRUCTED in Russia under
the car until the old society became
SO rotten it literally fell to pieces. 1t
became bankrupt morally and ma
terially. Old values dissolved before
new values we're created. The bonds
that held men together in the old sys-
TEN gave way. Men became abso-
lutely Enthusiastically and absolutely
s~elf-seeking. The only forces Of CO.
heslon left We're spying and brute
force. When these failed, everything
went down together in the greatest
crash in history.
New System Born.
With the crash came first the po-
Atical revolution until Kerensky, and
then the social revolution under the
sOviets. Out Of this chaos gradually
emerged a system Of industry entirely
unlike anything that had ever existed
before in the history of the world.
Information as to what this system
Is Nike has been brought to us by men
who visited Russia during and since
the upheaval. Among these witnesses
r Raymond Robbins, head of the
American Red Cross mission; Colonel
William B. Thompson of the United
States Army; Professor Ross, head Of
the department OF economies in the
University of Wisconsin; Wilfred
Humphries Of the Y. M. G. A. Russian
mission; Major William G. Bullitt,
