CHANGES IN STATE
HAIL INSURANCE

The following communication was
received from j. C. Miller last week
and intended for publication but was
not in our hands in time for use then:
Zone paragraph Of an article in
last weeks Advocate, by w. H. Lack
ey, is devoted to hail insurance.
While we agree with many Of Mr..
/, Lackey's views and disagree with 9TH
ers in this article, we do not care to
take time nor space to discuss such
an article in full but only deal with
the hail insurance.
Mr.. Lackey believes the present law
unavoidable, and suggests as one i'm
portant change the omission Of the
withdrawal feature. ....- ...
Hail insurance is protection on the
growing crops against damage by hail
such protection being bought and paid
for at certain price.
If the crop on any piece of land
be destroyed by drouth or by hoppers
(which has been the case in the" CEN
trail and western parts of the state
for a number Of years. then there is
nothing to protect, and If the owner
is not allowed to withdraw such land
then he is, compelled to pay for that
which he does not get-something for
nothing-pay with no crop to pay
with-pay why? To settle the debt
of another-the man in the eastern
part of the state who has raised good
crops for number Of years past and
marketed them at good price, and is
abundantly able to pay for his own
insurance.
We are not in favor of the above
amendment but we will offer sub
stitute:
Owing to the fact nature gives the
people of the southern part Of the
state from 10 days to two weeks start
of those in the northern part, the
southern section preferred an earlier
withdrawal date. ~"
Now tho nature allows one section
this advantage the man-made law
does not recognize this fact but sets
the withdrawal period the same for
each section. Evidently the law Of ma
ture or the law of man is wrong in
this respect.
Why not an amendment dividing
the state as nearly as practical into
two zones, giving the north half un-
til the 25th to withdraw and the south
half until the 18th?
Let us hear from the voters on these
amendments. Our influence will 60
with the will of constituents if we
know what their will is.
-.. Sincerely yours,
J. G. Miller,
Souris, N. D. 11-22-20.

SECOND GRADE PARENTS MEET

On Tuesday of last week, the par
ents Of the second grade children met
at the Central School. The purpose
of the meeting was to get the parents
acquainted with some of the things
that were being done in the school.
Mr.. Learner explained the use of the
standardized tests which have been
given, as means of determining the
progress of pupils in the school. Altho
the relative rank of each pupil in rate
and quality Of handwriting, in oral
reading, in numbers and in rate and
comprehension of silent reading was
shown on prepared charts, the i'm
provement of the child from month to
month, as revealed by subsequent tests
was the thing emphasized as being
the more important. The use Of the
tests as diagnostic devices was ex-
planned. Thru this procedure the par
ents can learn of the special school
difficulties of their children, and with
the aid of the teacher help can be CIV
en- the child. ,..-
Miss Hogan >discussed-"What the
parent can do to help the school in
the education of the child."| The need
of opportunity to read extensively
both difficult and easy material was
pointed out. The parents were told
how this material could be arranged
in small booklets. Such work is being
done at present in the various grades
in the Central school. The need for a
careful examination Of the eyes, teeth
and throats of the children was men,
toned. Due to the fact that children
acquire, very frequently, bad habits Of
form of posture in handwriting when
taught at home, it was urged that
this work be left to the school. Par
ents can easily teach their children
spelling and numbers.
Due to the fact that it is such an
easy matter to instruct children in
the wrong way at home, and in this
matter make the work Of the teacher
more difficult, it was urged that par
ents who have the time and the desire
to help their children at home first
spend some time visiting the school
so that they may find out more def
initely the exact needs of the child.
Due to the crowded condition in this
grade, as we'll as the first, systematic
home assistance is very desirable.
However, the home should know what
the school is doing. It is only thru this
type of cooperation that the best re-
suits can be obtained.
The following parents were present:
Mesdames White, Ekblad, Sprinkle,
Lien, Odegaard, Mangun, Bedell, Nc
1ntosh, Greengard, Smith, Buchanan,
Eugene Hewitt, Helgerson, Nero,
Hewitt, Thompson, Snyder, McBain,
Dalbec, Martin and Messrs. Odegaard
and Hewitt.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

Word from the office Of the North
Dakota Anti Tuberculosis states that
'"The seals are being sold entirely on
a county basis this year, each county
having a chairman to whom everyone
reports their sales and the chairman
reports in one sum-" The chairman for
Bottineau County is the County Su-
perintendent of Schools. The quota
for Bottineau County is $1,000. This
can be easily raised and we feel sure
that more than the amount asked for
will be sent in.
The Christmas seals are a penny
apiece. Every child selling rs will re-
ceive a red bangle.
"Last year our banks were the best
contributors. We sent $500 worth of
seals to every bank in the state and
the response was almost 100 per cent. !"
No doubt the banks of Bottineau will
do as we'll this year as they did last.
Mrs. c. R. Gleason will have charge
of the sale in Bottineau. The Princi-
pals and superintendent Of the town
and consolidated schools will have
charge Of the sale in their respective
places. The teachers in the rural
schools are asked to find out how
many seals can be sold in their COM
munity and upon application to the
County Chairman the exact number
will be sent.
The slogan is EVERY LETTER
OR PACKAGE MAILED IN DECEM-
BER SHOULD HAVE UPON III A
CHRISTMAS SEAL"

With THE COUNTY,
AGRICULTURAL AGENT
AAMODTISM

According to the report for the year
ending July l, 1920 the volume Of
business done by the Michigan Potato
Growers Association amounted to
$4.815, ,103.21. The total operating ex-
pense of the association was $95,716.-
30 or 1887 per cent of the total busi-
ness done. A saving of &c cents per
hundred, which would approximate
100000 was realized by marketing
thru this organization. Is it worth
while? Shall the Potato Growers Of
Bottineau organize? A Federation
similar to the Michigan Association
has been organized in North Dakota.
Together we stick, separated we're
stuck! Which shall it be?
Mr.. Shuler of Bottineau planted IL
acres of potatoes, 5 uncertified and z
certified last spring. The uncertified
yielded 80 bushels per acre and the
certified 120 bushels per acre. If you
don't believe that Bottineau County
can raise good potatoes and lots Of
them, just see Mr.. Shuler.
Replies to questionaires have been
received from about 20 per cent Of
the farmers who seeded Kubanka
Wheat last spring and the compari-
sons are very encouraging. Accord
ing to these figures the Kubanka in
Bottineau County outyieldel other va
rietes by an average Of 4.8 bushels
per acre. Very little rust was reported.
Quit knocking. The handle might
fly off your hammer and lots of ac-
cidents have happened unintentionally.
Together with Mr.. Lockwood, sever
al days were spent a month ago look
ing over the grasshopper situation in
the County. Fewer eggs were found
and prospects are certainly more en-
couraging than last fall. However, ev-
en- though we hope for the best it is
we'll to prepare for the worst and save
lot of disappointment.
Two poultry Culling Demonstrations
are scheduled for this week. Are your
hens paying profit If not, why not?
Alright, Bankers! Let's have those
cream check figures prompt this
month. Of course, it involves some ex-
ira trouble for you, but it is certainly
appreciated. Don't you think it is
worth while?

to carry the delegates from all parts
of the United States TO Pasadena, and
in addition to those delegates who
are travelling on these trains, many
hundred others will travel to the con-
ventiop on regular trains.
The annual convention is usually
held in the east or central part of
the United States because the largest
percentage of the member compan-
les and individual members live in the
east. However, the Pacific coast states
made a strenuous effort to obtain
the convention this year and succeed
ed in doing so. They were particular
ly desirous of getting the convention
this year because the recent water
power legislation enacted by congress
is expected to attract capital to the
development of water power that
could not previously be obtained be-
cause of the existing statutes regu-
lating and controlling water power
rights.
As is well known, there are large
quantities OF water power available
in the west for development but the
principal obstacle in utilizing these
water powers has been the difficulty
of securing the required capital 20
pay for the developments, Mr.. HAM
ilton explained.
Every effort will be made by the
western members of the association
to convince the representatives OF
large eastern capital who will be
present at the meeting, of the won
derful possibilities for power devel-
opment in the west. IN other words
the westerners will do their best to
sell the west to the east" Mr.. Hamil-
