What North Dakota Has Done.
Herald and News.

North Dakota, by close referendum
vote has adopted the radical soeiahstie
Legislative program supported by the
Nonparisan league, the big farmers
Organization. 1t includes the establish
ment of state bank, a system of state
terminal elevators and milling plants, to
be financed through heavy bond issues
This is not an hour when public owner
ship stands very high in favor, but il
North Dakota can show the goods the
rest of the country stands ready to learn
and profit. A very intense campaign
has been carried on in that state and
even the farmers were not united in
support of the program.

Twenty five years ago buff hides sold
in Boston for three and one-half cents
a pound and this week they are selling
for forty-two cents pound. This is
an increase in price of 1900 per cent.
The price of the cattle growing these
hides has been increased from 100 to
$50 per cent Does this difference in
increase represent the progress of the
unorganized farmers growing the hides

Down in Augusta, Virginia, they are
planning to have road Improvement
day when every farmer will give eight
hours work on the dirt roads of the
town. Possibly a days work by the
farmers of Vermont towns on the poor
sections of the main roads would help
remove the criticism of Vermont roads
which are now condemned by these bad
stretches the state has been unable to
repair.

1t will be noted that the Burlington
Free Press thinks the Republican nomi-
nation for governor next year lies be-
tween Lieutenant Governor Mason S.
Stone of Montpelier, Charles A. Plumley
of Mortified and George L. Durham of
Brattleboro. Having gone to Ohio to
serve as attorney for corporation
Charles 4. Plumley can hardly expect to
be a serious candidate for the governor
ship. This would reduce the possibili-
ties down to Stone and Durham. A
sharp contest is possible with only these
men in the field.

FRIDAY, JULY IL, 1919.
THE VALUE OF COURTESY.

There 5 a big sermon in the expert
ence of George F. Conroy of Jersey City
who is described as always having
tried to be little father to the com
muters who make morning and evening
trips on the Erie train of which he is
conductor. He always has grin and
a cordial manner, and he closes windows
when people are chilly and opens them
when folks are warm as cheerfully as
if he were being paid extra for it.
Wednesday Conductor Conroy was in
formed that J. J. Adams, a shoe mer-
chant, who frequently went back and
forth to New York on his train, had
died at his home in Allendale, n. j.,
and the merchant had bequeathed Con-
roy $4,000 Gas mark of appreciation
for his kindly treatment of me and 9th
er passengers when he had no personal
interest in us beyond his official duties y
Many a man will say, " He S lucky
dog But that is not true. Here is
what Mr.. Conroy said when he learned
of his reward:
"They all look alike to me, and I try
to treat them as / would like to be
treated. | try to make every passen-
ger feel / represent the railroad com
pany; that the company has a personal
interest in his safety and comfort; and
that the service does not end with the
sale of ticket and transportation to
destination. | try to make them feel
they are getting more than they have
paid for and that the company is will
ing to give more than it receives"
That isn't luck, it good service to
his employer and the employers pat
rons.
Everyone cannot expect such rich
financial reward for his courtesy as
Mr.. Conray has received; but all can
be assured of another reward that he
has received-the warm friendship and
sympathy of all his associates. Should
Mr. Conroy meet with misfortune there
are hundreds of men who have enjoyed
his courteous treatment who would &c
into their pockets and contribute to his
relief; if there should be outbreaks of
bad feeling, who would listen to the
kindly suggestions of Mr.. Conroy. In
the performance of his exacting daily
duties Mr. Conroy has developed the
qualities of leadership and won con
fidence that will follow him through
life
1t pays to be courteous. If you dc
mot believe give it an honest and thor.
ough trial.

Phosphates
Delayed Applications
Of Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather ut planting time, conges-
ton on railways and consequent delays
to shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being APP
piled to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application Of fertilizer as a
side-dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
TO make the delayed fertilizer applica-
tiOn in this way than to attempt to
grow a crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive.
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz-
er with the least possible amount of
labor, but at such time, and in such
way, as to make it most effective.
