STATE PREPARES
TO own MINES
Investigation Progressing il
Coal Fields, Says Dean
Eabcock.
(By Dean e. J. Babcock, University of
North DakOta)

North Dakota)
In view of the serious fuel situation
Of the country at the present time, the
people Of North Dakota are looking
very earnestly to the great Ignite de-
posits of our own state for relief, and
are more than ever interested in all
that is being done to assist in the de-
velopment of these great fuel re-
sources which are thus far but slightly
utilized.
Something is known of the vast de-
posts Of Ignite which are found with
in the State of North Dakota but it is
surprising how little the immense
value Of these deposits is appreciated.
There is a very large area in the west
ern part of the state, some on private
and some on state lands, which is
underlaid with quite thick beds of lig-
mite coal. North Dakota has one of
the largest coal areas of the states of
the Union, probably $4,000 square
miles and capable of producing, it is
estimated, over 600 billion tons. enough
if properly developed and used to sup
ply the fuel needs Of North Dakota
and adjoining states for many genera
tons.
Although the area and magnitude of
these great Ignite deposits is known,
no provision has heretofore been
made for the survey and exact location
Of these deposits, with reference to
their protection, or the feasibility of
their development.
The last legislature made a small
appropriation for the present biennial
period to start the field work and in
vestigations along these lines. This
work was placed jointly in the hands
Of the Geological Survey and the
School Of Mites to cooperate in the
Investigations. AS soon as the appro-
priations were available, after the
first Of July, plans were adopted and
the field work was Immediately begun
and carried on until it vas necessary
to stop the survey in the fall. The
work will be resumed again rs o o
as the weather will permit in the
spring and will be pressed vigorously
forward.
On account Of the size of the coal
area to be covered and the numerous
technical and practical problems to be
investigated, it will, Of course, require
a long time to complete such q survey,
but q number Of the most important
regions will be taken up In the field
work and Investigations to be carried
on during this biennial period, and 1t
is expected that it will result In giving
definite and important information as
to the location and value of coal de-
posits in many districts, the desirable
ity of their conservation, or the prac-
ticability of their economic develop
ment.
This is very important work and will
have a large economic bearing upon
the state and its future industrial de-
velopment. and it is especially fortu-
nate, under the present conditions,
that provision has been made to begin
an economic survey looking toward
the better development of these great
resources of the state.

Do not talk to us about sacrifice. There is no
sacrifice in buying a United States bond that i

There is no law to make you buy bonds-neither
is there any law that will make You patriotic

is public sentiment, and the man who will not do
his duty in this the last of the loans that this coun

be made to feel the weight of it.
It is Just as much matter of patriotism to buy

is poor patriotism at best

SAME OLD SCHEME

/" HERE is something at once pathetic and
amusing in the eager way North Dakota
has taken to the ever old and ever new pol
itical sget-rich-quick' scheme. North Dakota ls
one Of the most prosperous states in the communi-
ty The North Dakota farmer is shrewd and thrift
ty. He knows the ways that are dark and the
tricks that are vain, and avoids them. Probably
more gold bricks are sold in Wall street before
noon every day than in North Dakota in the couf@e
of year IF A. G. Townley had gone to the state
with new political offering, if he had called his
program socialism, the farmers would have laugh
ed at him. They know what modern socialism I'M
plies, better perhaps than the so-ealled Eastern
intellectuals' who pat Marx the back, but never
have taken the pains to read the stern unnvitlng
logic of his great work But Townley put Social
ism in the background, mounted on a dry goods box
started what is known as the 'balyhoo, and when
his audience had been properly tuned up sold
them scheme of finance and government that
must be nearly as old as the Missouri river, and
should be described a geological rather than
historical phenomenon. Essentially it is popul-
ism revived for which Western farmers fell IN
1892 and 1896. 1t represents the same general
theory of rule by the farmers separate class
and is accompanied by the same emotional dissur
bances-oratory, music and poetry-that marked
the political spree of the nineties. There is no
question that in past the Northwestern farmers
suffered from exortious that often outran what
might reasonably be expected in trading between
the unwary and the calculating. But who could
think that Townley could parley these grievances
into political party as well organized the steel
corporation, and that the members would subscribe
out of their earnings millions of dollars for the
cause and place at the disposal of this gifted III
dividual State funds amounting, it is said, to
$1O0,000,000? And please remember none or few
of his projects have been actually carried out As
we understand it, the Bank of North Dakota is
still paper, the elevators and flour mills and
packing houses unbuilt the homes at cost not yet
built, the Ignite mines unsurveyed The people
of North Dakota have paid fortune for pros
pectus. Let us hope that when they come out Of
the dream, and Townley has folded up his tools and
definitely migrated into the party of national
cialism, they will have no greater loss to write
off or charge to the years amusement than the
amount now in his possession Golfers Maya

worth of fertility According to writer IN the
Review Of Reviews, even tobacco has been export
ed at price less than the fertilizer value OF the
three essential salts it contains.
The effect of shipping out feed and foodstuffs
at price less than their value as fertilizers, to-
gether with other wasteful methods of farming,
is seen in the steady decrease IN crop per acre. es
pecially in the corn, cotton and wheat fields The
average wheat yield of Minnesota betweec l9Op
and 1910 was but thirteen bushels, while twelve
bushels was estimated to be the limit of profit.
Old England's average crop is little more than
thirty bushels The English farmer is student OF
soils and fertilizers.
Selling grain, hay and other stock feeds direct
" from the farm is the surest road toward soil
impoverishment. No farm can long maintain It's
productivity that does not closely relate itself to
domestic animals To conserve the producing pow
err of our SOIL meat, dairy products and wool must
be made part of the farms product. Feeding
soil is as much apart of the science of agricul-
ture as planting and cultivating Minneapolis

JUDGE LOOMS LARGE.

a MONG the various proposed candidates for
IN congressman in the second district to sue
coed the Hon. F. F. Ellsworth, who has an
nounced his candidacy for governor, the name OF
Judge Frank Clague of Redwood Falls looms high
above them all. Our acquaintance with the Judge
dates back about twenty years, when he was
young man practicing law in Lamberton. By hard
work. strict honesty and marked ability he has
climbed step by step until he has reached the high
position he nav holds as Judge of the Ninth judi
cial district In the interim he has represented
his county in both branches of the legislature was
elected speaker of the House in 1905 and the fol-
lowing year was elected to the senate, in which
body he served with distinction for two terms
He is one of the best posted men in the state and
has especial abilities as legislator. He is flu
ent speaker and strong, convincing debator. he
would make representative of whom the district
as well as the state might justly feel proud. We
hope that the Judge will accede TO the solicitations
of his friends to become candidate and we can
assure him big vote from this county. Attorney
Geo. A. Barnes, who has become quite a close
friend of the Judge since his residence in Red
wood Falls said last Monday while visiting his
old home in this village that Redwood County peo-
pie are urging the Judge to announce himself
and he believed from the enthusiastic encourage
ment given the Judge that he would carry the
county practically unanimously. Judge Clague
would make the Second district an able Representa-
tive in congress and the people of the district
should get solidly behind him.-F. R. Sahr in the

SELLING SOIL FERTILITY.

~ ROM the beginning America has been sell
ling her soil fertility to the Old World over
bargain counter; and the wise Old World
has not been slow to appreciate the bargain. Soil
elements that will take fifty years to replace can
be careessly farmed out of the soil in ten years.
Making money new land is comparatively easy
task; but renewing old soil is slow and costly
process.
Certain crops exhaust the soil more rapidly
than others. Certain products sold off the land
carry away large part of their sale value in the
elements of fertility they contain. For example,
dollars worth of butter or cheese contains but
a few cents worth of necessary soil elements,
while bushel of wheat at present prices contains
sixty cents worth. A ton of cottonseed meal car
ries away $46.7O in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. while in 1913 it sold for but $27 A ton Of
linseed cake selling at $S1 carries away $3447

NOT FIT FOR THE KINGDOM
by Gunner Bjornson)

YERE is a text for you to think about:
- "No man having put his hand to The plough
and looking back is fit for the kingdom of
God"
We, as a nation, have put our hand to the pillow.
We have gone into We have incurred obi
cations We have contracted debts. We are in
the midst of unfinished work.
Is our country going to "look back?"
No! Never!
The man who can, but will not, buy Victory
Bond is not fit for citizenship in this republic.
If that appears to be too much said anyone is
welcome to make the most of it.
For shame! That there should be any man, any
locality, any district that is not willing to take
his or its full allotment in this drive!
Did the American boys "look back" when they
went over the top over there?
Did they count the cost?
Did they haggle about the returns on the invest
ment?
Did they say that they had only one life and SO
could not afford to give it?
Go hide yourself with your excuse for not buy
ing bond!

WHAT 1T MEANS

T HE following from Samuel Gompers' New
York address is well worth reproducing:
"All of you who know me or know of my
attitude in regard to labor conditions know my alb
solute opposition to bolshevism. In fact, if it
were put into operation it would mean the deca-
dence or perverson of the civilization of our time
To me the story of the desperate Sampson who
pulled the temple on his head is an example OF
what is meant by bolshevism. | am not willing
that the little service that have been able to rem
der during the long years that have attempted
to improve conditions in a constructive way should
be destroyed by maddened desperation. And so
may say to you that it is well for us to see now
that our own house is kept in order"
