WHERE THE N. D. BANK DEPOSITS ITS FUNDS

In the running debate the Bank of North Dakota,
Mp. League correspondent rejons that the local
banks of North Dakota designated the repositories
the State Bank and that therefore the local commune
ties not deprived of the of these local funds.
Mr.. Schlattman is perfectly safe in making this
statement and it impossible for to refute his
cluson by citing any official report In fact, he might
gone further in his claims and would still
be unable to disprove his assertions.
The fact is that The Tribune has been able
to determine statement has ever been published
given to the public in any form to the disposition
made of the monies received by the Bank of North OAK
What is done with the money is known only to the
officials of the bank and to such high in the
ellis of the Mp League to whom such information may
be by them communicated in confidence.
An inquiry this point sent by another seeker
after facts and addressed to in position to
know Bank mentioned in your telegram not sub
ject examination; absolutely obtain desired
information. Very sorry"
Readers will recall that time ago the state
auditor of North Dakota whose duty it is to examine
institutions attempted
to examination of the Bank of North Dakota,
but ordered out of the bank
banks required published reports and
submit much detailed reports to the bank examiner
Dakota does not recognize itself
as subject this law.
Whatever information we have on the Bank of
North Dakota, therefore, must be peced together from
For instance the information given in
articles elsewhere in this issue relative to
from the county records Of Bottneau county report
came to a little while ago that of the leading
Twin City banks offered deposit of five millions by
the Bank of North Dakota. From the of the
port every to credit it, Similar reports
have at other times been that the Bank carrying
anywhere part million up to $2OOOO,OOO in
various Twin City, Chicago and New York banks.
The Bank of North Dakota may redeposit it's funds
in local banks but conflicting reports to what the
practice really is In counties tax collections
RENTED daily to Bismarck and not redeposted In other
counties collections deposited in local banks,
subject draft from the state bank but the tenure of
the deposit is therefore uncertain that the dare
not be loaned out.
Of course it is perfectly safe to that certain
banks which perfectly obvious do get
deposits the state bank, but it is also perfectly
obvious that the public monies available for local credit
thru such channels would be very small. The big
fact therefore reminds that the public monies of North
Dakota have thru the establishment of the Bank Of
North Dakota been withdrawn from local and trans
ferred large amounts to such money centers the
Twin Cities Chicago New York, or loaned to the
friends and supporters of the inner circle to speculate
with bolster up unsafe investments set forth in
Mr.. Ferrells article.

fight is being made Congressman Volstead by
one Rev Kvale of Benson, who would like to to con-
gress himself Kvale has the support of the vets and
the endorsement Of the Non-Partisan League.
The simple truth is that Volstead has put in eighteen
years OF faithful service in congress people
this district; that during all of that time his standing
in congress has with the succeeding years until
he has attained to most important posi-
lions in that of chairman of the judiciary
committee that such chairman he largely shaped and
recognized the author of the prohibition enforce
ment act which declared constitutional by the SUD-
court by unanimous vote, but which is very I'M
satisfactory to the liquor interests and the vets who

is the candidate of the vets however unwelcome such
classification may be to his sensibties It is further
true that Congressman Vostead has always been
cay interested in legislation Of interest to the farm

consulted when any of this kind up and he

sting by it's appearance Of absurdity
and inprobability.
To illustrate: The Industrial COM
mission of North Dakota as it was pic
tured in your last weeks issue and the
effect which it might have on my farm
if introduced into Minnesota seems so
absurd and improbable that can not
believe it.
Once more: To reason that the
farmers of North Dakota passed bunch
of laws that would in their application
destroy the welfare of their makers
seems absurd and improbable and can
only be given a semblance of probability
by the allegation that they are set of
chumps and entirely under the control of
Townley and his gang. Of course this
allegation is made ad nauseam but I
affirm that the farmers of North Dakota
are about the same kind of men we find
in Minnesota and that the candidates
for the legislature and state offices in
Minnesota are not hand picked or con-
trolled by Townley and his crowd of
so-called socialists. know it to be a

fact from personal observation, because
as Corn Tassel would say: by gar T
war thare and seen it done"
Now as to the state bank of North
Dakota one important fact is always
left out of the pictures which its op-
ponents produce and that is the fact
that the banks in every county Of the
state are designated as repositories Of
the state bank, and to dwell on the evil
of the counties being deprived of the
moneys of their municipalities and
school districts, is to reason on effects
without causes. -.z
Finally Mr.. Editor don't you think
with me that the hard task of getting
at the truth would be made much easier
if every writer, speaker OF printer
would write, speak or print only such
things as he believes to be the truth?

AN INVITATION

For few weeks, L. j. Schlattman has been sending
communications to The Tribune in support Of the
partisan League and these communications have sug
gested subjects for editorials the resulting discussion
has partaken of the nature joint debate. feel
that this discussion has resulted bringing out
clearly the position taken by the of the
League and also feel that may have shown that
the League program has failed North Dakota and is
foredoomed to failure in Minnesota and that the net
result is approach to better understanding of the
pending issues.
We therefore invite any who may feel disposed
send in communications supporting League cause,
and especially invite Mr. Schlattman continue the dis
cussion whenever he may find it convenient.

FARM NOTES

(By G. B. Dunlap, County Agent)
The County Agent visited a num- !
bsr of farmers the past week. The
most outstanding demonstrations
visited were the Rick Bros. southwest
Of Bennington. They have "Oklaho- /
ma White Sounder Corn" that is alb
solutely fine. They also have num-
ber Of varieties Of cotton that they
are trying out with a view of select
ing the variety for general use that
d best adapted to their soil. They
have Mebane, Cash and Lone Star.
The results have not been fully de-
termined yet.
Mr.. John Graham on the Smith Lee
farm east Of Wade has some very
fine Lone Star cotton this year.
It is said by men who have travel
ed over the entire Southwest and Wis
tied all the big breeders and who are
in position to know, that Mr.. F.. c.
Terrill has the most convenient and
perhaps the best equipped hog plant in
the entire Southwest. Just now Mr.
Terrell has his pastures all sown to
winter barley for pastures for the
fall crop Of pigs.
Lee Cain, south Of Albany. is rum
ming some experiments in fattening
for the market. He is getting some
very satisfactory results from his
efforts.
The following pig club members
were visited last week.
Horace jenkins, Calera.
Jess Hodges, Calera.

in the Texas agricultural experiment
station at A. and NJ. College, is re-
ceiving numerous inquiries from those
interested in cotton seed values. The
unusual spread between current prices
offered for cotton seed and the price
prevailing last season has raised a
number of questions as to some better
disposition of the seed than selling
at current prices. The range of pdcs-
tions covers feed values of cotton
seed VS.. other feeds at current prices,
fertilizer values and exchange values.
Replying to questions, DR.. Traps
has issued the following Observa' ons
touching these several values from
which the owner of cotton seed nay

disposition of his seed, consdpring

Cotton seed varies in compo> ION,
but it contains in one ton Of two
thousand pounds approximate 2S
pounds of phosphoric acid valued at
S3.1O. Ga pounds of nitrogen valued
at Sl?.2O, and 32 pounds of po.a>h
valued at SG.40, making total v;.ua-
ton of $3.50. A ton of cotton.rcd
meal should have fertilizer valuation
of S51.65. if it contains 43 per cent
protein. In mixed fertilizer. the
plant food costs considerably more
than than this.

for s51.65 for fertilizer purposes.
Cottonseed meal should have really
a higher selling price than its ferti-
lizer valuation, as it is in feed value,
an addition to its fertilizer value.
The meal would be more easily APP
piled to the ground. and is certainly
more easily stored. and less liable to
damage. With cottonseed at $50
ton. cottonseed meal should sell for
S36 a ton in order to secure the same
fcrtilizing value. If 1000 pounds
of cottonsecd meal, and 600 pounds of
co.tonsccd hulls, are exchanged
for a ton of seed, the exchange is
approximately even in fertilizing
value. but the persons exchanging los

The Livestock Show that was con-
