The South possesses some advantage
over a northern state like Vermont. 1t

show conclusiyely what service farm
agents can give.
The legislature Of Vermont will be
asked to aid and enlarge the work of
farm agents in this state. While Yer
mont cannot expect to greatly increase
the variety of its agricultural products,
il can materially improve its farm meth

Vermont is facing a crisis in its agri-
cultural life. There is danger it will
lose many OF its young men who before
their entry in the war promised to be-
come its good farmers Of the next gener-
alton. The strongest appeal to these
young men to return to their former
homes and communities ia an opportu-
nifty to labor more scientifically, intel
ligently and with surer reward for their
labor. Better living conditions also ap-
cal. These results are the aim Of every
capable and worthy farm agent EN-

KAULFUSS TO
TALK AT III"
+. 0NCO0D ROADS
Lecture Scheduled for Eight
O'clock, Woodwork Au-
ditorium, University.

"Good Roads and Highway Con-
struction,' is the title of the address
which Assistant Chief Engineer J. E..
Kaulfuss, a representative Of the
state highway commission, will doiv-
er at Woodwork auditorium, univer-
sity, this evening at 8 o'clock. Mr..
Kaulfuss is brought here under n
auspices, of the college Of engineering
Of the university, and his talk will be
directed primarily to students of
cheering at the university.
Colored lantern slides showing dif-
ferent phases. in road construction
and development will be used by Mr.
Kaulfuss to illustrate his lecture ano
to bring out his more important
machinery and construction methods
furnished by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, bureau of
public roads and rural engineering.
Mr.. Kaulfuss was one of the speak
ers at the annual meeting Of the
North Dakota society Of engineers at
Valley City, which took place the
latter part Of January, and in his
lecture delivered before the conven-
ton there, he reviewed the history
Of the highway commission n this
state, telling something Of what had
been accomplished by the department
and citing actual incidents and
achievements of the department.
Mr.. Kaulfuss made clear to his
auditors just what his opinion was in
regard to a national policy in connec-
ton with the highway system. He
declared that there should be first OF
all a national highway commission
with the subdivisions of state and
county highway departments, and
finally some sort Of minor or town
ship roads, erected and maintained by
township funds.
His talk tonight will, no doubt, be
along similar lines and should prove
highly interesting, it is stated. not
only to students Of the university but
to citizens of the community in gem

Business Men Meet to Pro
test Against Repeal of
Daylight Saving Law.

Members of the city council and d.
~rectors Of the Commercial club will
meet this afternoon to discuss the
daylight saving amendment to the
agriculture bill which is now before
congress. ~ ae
a telegram received this ( morning
by Mayor H. NJ. Wheeler from Will
liam Boyce Thompson, promoter Of
the daylight savings plan, urged that
the mater Of defeating the amend
ment to repeal the law, be taken up
with the civic, labor and business or
CARNATIONS of this community. The
Joint meeting was called as a direct
result of the appeal.
The amendment to the agricultural
bill, regarding the repeal Of the Day
light Saving law. which has been re-
ported favorably by the senate COM
mittee, has been introduced into the
house and the telegram points out
that the bill may be repealed unless
sentiments favorable to the law be
made known Immediately. The tele-
gram suggests that a protest be sent
to the state senators and representa-
tives at washington, asking that the
system of daylight saving be con-
tinued this year.
In speaking Of the a~dvisability OF

WOOL GROWERS
RECEIVE ADVICE
AS TO: PRICES
Shortage Exists This Year
-Woolen Goods. Scarce
in United States. :,

Through the combined efforts of
the state agricultural college, the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the Grand Forks county
farm bureau, the wool growers" of
Grand Forks county are receiving
valuable help in the form Of informa-
ton, and according. to a statement
given out by County Farm Agent Rex
E. Willard this morning, such infor-
nation will be given from time to
time as conditions change.
The wool growers" problems have
become complicated and every item
that goes into the production Of wool
continues to be high, such as labor.
feed, equipment and interest on
go Of the wool business the producer
carried the load for about seven
months. But now the producers are
told hat they must expect 35 Ito 40
cents next year foc their wool and yet
the manufacturers testified before the
war industries board after the
armistice was signed that II the gov
ernmsnt did not let go Of 5000, 900
pounds of wool at once they would
have to go out of business. Last fall
the government had 103, 000 900
pounds of wool, the greater part Of
which came from South America. BY
the first of Janua y there was a short
age OF, $4,000, 900 pounds of this
purchase and as the consumption of
wool is about 50.O 00 900 pounds per
month, there exists a shortage of wool
at the present time.
When speaking of the wool condi-
ton, Mr.. Willard said that this years
clip would not be as large rs last
years. He said that while the gov
eminent operated the wool business
1,400,0 600 more sheep went to market
than during the same time the year
p evious. He added:
Manufacturers have informed the
growers that Great Britain will ex-
port large amounts of wool to this
country but she will not release any
great amount of wool to this country
to be made into cloth and taken back
to England to sell in competition with
her own manufactured product-at
least this is not in conformity with
ordinary British business.
"Woolen goods in this country are
scarce-it could not be otherwise fol-
lowing such a period Of destruction.
After every war the price Of wool has
increased. Why should we look for
anything different now?
wool growers are accused Of caus-
ing the high cost Of wooden goods.
The even pounds of wool required to
make an ordinary suit costs $3.50 at
70 cents per pound. At SO cents per
pound the wool would cost $3.50 for
the same suit, or a reduction of $1.40.
The producer can therefore hardly be
held responsible for the high cost of
the ordinary wool suit. ~
1.-The growers should realize these
facts. They should get behind the
county, state and national organiza-
tions in a united way and demand a
price for their product in conformity

Details of Organization.
Only a part of the two original
companies. were with the 164th at the
time Of departure. as a number of
changes had been made during the
time Of service in France. At n time
it was reported that only 80 men of
the $50 men of Company NJ were still
with the company, and these were
chiefly noncommfssioned officers and
regular officers. Efforts however have
been made since military activities
have ceased in France, to reassemble
the old companies and according to
various reports received from the
boys themselves it was thought that
from eighty to a hundred Of the old
company would leave France togeth-
,er. "A relative proportion Of the men
from the Machine Gun company,
originally about seventy five in
strength, will no doubt return with
this detachment. =.

ice CUTTING
NOT UNLAWFUL
Many Citizens Had impress
sion Local Ice Co. Was
Doing Wrong in Park.

Much criticism has been caused
throughout the city by the fact that a
local ice company cuts ice in the Red
river at Central park. Complaints
were made to the mayor, the pest
dent of the park board, the city food
inspector and park caretaker, with
the result that the matter was looked
into this morning and adjusted to
suit all. 1880
The ice company in question has
been cutting the ice from the river at
this point for many years; it is tue
that private ewers run into the river
here, but the ice taken is used only
for shipping purposes or for cooling.
But 1t might be used for drinking
purposes according to Mayo: H. M.
Wheeler's statement today, as the
analysis shows the ice to be pure.
Tests have been taken within the last
week.
Regarding the hauling Of the lob,
officials Of the company say that they
were following the road all the way
but for about one hundred and nifty
feet. which is 80 deeply covered with
snow that 1t is impossible to follow.
They have never noticed In the spring
any damage wal incurred through the
hauling on this ground, 1t was added.
Many pc SOM In the city have felt
that the place selected by the Ice
company for their cutting was too
near to the slide used by the chill
dren. Investigation shows that the
slide does not come within one hum
dred feet Of the cutting place.
When speaking OF the subject this
morning. the Ice company ofncials
said that rather than have any aim
Guilty over the matter fhey would
change their place Of cutting, but II
everything was satisfactory to the city
