NORTHWEST MUIR I
SERY SALES SCHOOL

The editor of the Times-Record ran
into veritable swarm Of bees over at
the Office Of the Northwest Nursery
Company. He thought at first that an
N. P. convention was on. 1t turned
out, however, to be a sales school Of
new statesmen Of the Northwest Muir
sery Company. Manager Hilborn has
secured a rather good sized bunch of
stalwarts. They are now going thru
a course of instructions and are being
taught how trees are developed and
grown, how they should be properly
planted and all the information neces-
sary to explain to the farmers Of the
northwest how to plant and beautify
their homes.
s They are husky looking lot fell
lows and the methods of the North
west Nursery Company in giving these
statesmen proper instructions before
going out is the right method. It
means that they will know what they
are talking about and will be in po-
sition to give service to the farmers as
we'll as take an order.
Manager Hilborn tells us that their
business so far this spring is just dou-
BILE what it was year ago, all of
which goes to how that live sales
methods count. Good sales methods
plus thrifty stock that is raised here
at Valley City has built the Northwest
Nursery Company, and there seems to-
be no limit in sight for this growing
institution.

light our own streets. The same con-
dition exists in the residence district
of the city. Why not put our own
town on a real lighting basis before
spreading all over the county. Surely
the people who live here and pay the
taxes are entitled to a better lighting
system in the city. in preference :tosthe.
towns miles away. Then again our
streets need lot of attention. They
are in deplorable condition we have
many conventions coming here the
next few months and we should put
the town in shape so that people real
ly will believe we are the city beauti-
full. Again, on the flats south Of the
railroad track in the fourth ward, the
residents of that locality need some
relief from high water every spring,
and some sewage system should be put
in over there to help out this part of
town. We know that the problem is q
big one and needs some work on the
part of the city administration, but
these things can be done if we give
them due and energetic attention.
The incoming administration has no
play Job on it's hands, we are sure Of
that. and this editorial is no criticism
of the present administration: We
think Mayor Moe has done we'll and
has made very creditable record, and
we feel that the incoming mayor will
do the best he can, also, but a few
suggestions from time to time and
friendly criticism will harm no one.
The editor is as deeply interested in
Valley City as any person living in it;
it is our home, we like to tell peo-i
pie about it's natural resources and it's
beauty spots, its fine educational in
situations, churches, lodges and all
those things that go to the making of
a fine city. No place in the state can
hold candle to our beautiful loca-
ton and surroundings and all We want,
is to have our city look as we'll as pos.
sible and the people given those things,
which they are entitled lowell light
ed streets, smooth streets-and last
but not least taboo being put on the
using of the streets of the city for a
dumping ground for ashes and gar.

4 REAL "SATUPN ALA"

Senator Borah is excited about the
amount Of money being spent by re-
publican presidential candidates. 1t
is estimated that $1,000, 900 will be
spent in the United States to further
the candidacy of Gen. Wood, although
this figure is pronounced grossly ex-
aggerated by his managers. :"
But what is 100000 spent for po-l
litical purposes in the whole nation?.
That's mere piker's figure COM
pared with political expenditures in
North Dakota. What Senator Borah
calls "a saturnalia Of eXtravaganceH
is only a little penny ante game
compared with our political activities,
Mr.. Townley has spent several times
that sum putting over his candl-
dates. On league membership alone,
it is probable that 100000 has been
collected in North Dakota.
When it considered that North Da-
kota has 100000 inhabitants, and the.
United States has 100, 100000, it will
be seen that Maj. Gen. Woods man.
ayers would have to spend more than.
100 times the sum they are accused Of
spending to equal the pace set by the,
political gang that rules this statAY
Gen. Woods managers are cheap pix.
ers if they don't spend more than ST.
100000. And yet that is far too big
sum to spend for pre-conventlon
campaign if healthful conditions are to
be retained in our political life.-Far-.

Charges of disloyalty and unfitness
for office were sustained against the
five suspended socialist members OF
the New York assembly who were re-.
Gently ousted from their seats, by the.
majority of the assembly judiciary
committee in long report submitted
to the legislature yesterday, which de-,
clared that their seats should be de-
clared vacant. When these socialists
were ousted from their places in the
assembly general sentiment ran high
against the other members of the asa
sen1bly for taking this action but: as
one point after another was; brought
out showing the unftness Of the Gust
ed men to serve in Office, people began
to see the ACCESSIBILITY of getting these
men out and keeping them out. One
point which the report brings out IS
that certain clause in the socialists
constitution provides that "any So
cialist elected to an Office who shall
in any way vote to appropriate money
for military or naval purposes, or war,
shall be expelled from the party"

fight for governor this year and leave
a clear field to William LANCER. Pc
titions are now being circulated in
different parts of the state asking
Nestos and Steen to bury their politi-
cal ambition and keep their hands off.
This is the time and North Dakota ls
the place where we must be united to
clean up the bunch of socialists that
have doubled our taxes, plunged the
state in debt to the limit and have got
ten big start toward a Soviet gov
eminent here. We have had enough
of it and it behooves every man and
woman to get behind Bill Langer-the
only fighting citizen we have at this
time who will come within mile of
defeating that bunch. If these other
men are filled with love of state, love
of patriotism, they will withdraw from
the race, play the big man act and get
behind the real logical candidate to
victory-William LANCER is the man
of the hour. It is no use trying to de-
ceive yourselves that there are others
who can do as well-you know better.
Why fool away the only opportunity
to win by over flooding the field with
useless candidates.

Ghost for Fish Bait

Samese fishermen do most of their
fishing by means of what is known
as ghost boat. This consists of a
long board. painted white, and ar
ranged in position in the water. The
top must not be too high above the
surface of the water for the fish Z
is desired TO capture to leap over
When in position the ghost resembles
very much the white side Of a boat
or punt. The fish, seeing this white
board. become frightened. and in fear
they leap over the board. At the
hack of the beard, however, nets
are arranged in such a position that
those fish that succeed in leaping the
board land in the nets and are
caught. The amount of fish caught
by the employment Of ghost boats is
very large indeed, and the method
has the advantage of preventing the
smaller fry from getting into the
nets, as they are unable TO leap over
the board

What Makes 100 Pounds Of Milk?

a two-year study of the cost of
milk production undertaken cooper
atively by the United States Dairy
Division and Purdue University, on a
number of dairy farms in north
western Indiana, has resulted in fig
ures on the requirements for pro-
ducing 100 pounds of milk in winter
and in summer. To give permanent
value to the results, these require
ments were determined in pounds of
feed, hours of labor, etc, and by
substituting present costs and values
for the various items a farmer can
determine very closely what it IS
costing him to produce 100 pounds Ct
milk at the present time.
In the summer months the require
ments for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds dry
roughage, PA pounds; silagc and
other succulent roughage, COL
pounds; hauling and grinding con-
centratcs. s0014; pasture. 0i acre:
human labor, % hours; horse labor,
90 hour; overhead and other costs,
S0.393
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates. 1856 pounds; dry roughage, 66S
pounds: silage and other succulent
roughage. 1916 pounds: hauling and
grinding concentrates, s0.03 bedding,
2O.3 pounds; human labor, % hours;
horse labor, O.3 hour;-overhcad and
other costs. S0385.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost Of producing milk was con-
s.derably higher in winter than in
summer: and while this holds true a $
far as the gross cost is concerned,
the figures obtained in this investi-
cation show that the net cost Of pro-
ducing 100 pounds of milk from Nov
ember to April was only is per cent
higher than the cost from May to
October, inclusive. and that the total
cost varied only slightly from month
to month within each of these sea-
sons. This small difference between
net costs of production during winter
and summer is largely due to the
greater credit allowed for manure
during tho winter season
The price received for the milk
however fluctuated sharply from
month to month.
Further details on requirements for
milk production, including such fac
tors as cost of keeping a COW for
one year, cost of keeping a bull, pro-
portion of work performed by each
class, of labor, percentage relation CT
various factors in the cost of pro-
duction, and other details, are pre-
sented in Department Bulletin S5S,

Market Milk in Northwestern In
