Treat Seed for Smut

North Dakota farmers very general
ly treat their seed grain for smut.
It costs but little and brings good re-
turns. Prof. Bolley finds in his ex-
periments at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College that even where there
is no smut, treating increased the crop
two or more bushels more per acre.
When smut is present on the wheat
the increase due to treating will run
much higher. The increase in yields
of oats and barley due to treating the
seed are much greater than for wheat.
The treating consists in dipping the
seed in solution made up Of l pound
formaldehyde mixed into 40 gallons
of water, being sure that all kernels
are moistened. The treatinp can be
done just before seeding, the moist
grain put into drill and drill set to
sow the right amount. A good way
is to run drill on hard ground so as to
see just how it drops the seed. If the
treating is done few days before
seeding care must be taken that the
piled up grain does not heat and also
that the wet grain is not allowed to
freeze. I

Prospects for Building Not Especially
CnOd

o. H. Moon, city building inspector,
reports very little activity in the
building business this spring. "There
is simply nothing doing" he informed
an Independent representative. Prices
keep soaring. One Minot man who
owns number Of valuable lots, plan
ned on building several modern five
room cottages in order to sell them.
The lowest bid he received for the
work was 100000. The cost Of
houses has advanced a hundred per-
cent during the past four or five years,
it is estimated. Those who built
their homes at a cost of say $4,000
in 1915, may well figure that it would
cost $4,000 to duplicate the structures
at the present time. It is common
knowledge that good homes may be
purchased in the city for much less
than the cost Of the buildings alone.
There is little indication of the cost
Of building material and labor being
reduced at an early date"

I never go out to lunch with a man

SAVING THE COUNTRY.

Referring to the nominating
speeches in the>two big political con-
ventions the Detroit News says: at
is fitting that the citizen should re-
fleet on what there is to be learned
from these outpourings of political
oratory."
To the individual who has gone
about his business Of making living
for the past four years, and of behav-
ing himself as decently as he could
under the conditions, it says further,
there is food for thought in these
speeches and in the platforms. Per-
haps he will not derive sthe kind of
sustenance from them which the
makers of the speeches and the franz
ers of the platforms intended; he may
not find the messages so full of meat
as it was hoped, but some little reflec-
ton on them will help him.
To men and women in our small
towns life moves along pretty evenly.
Perhaps in the course of a week their
widest adventure is the hunt for a
pound OF sugar. They are seldom
stirred deeply by woodworking
events. and except for the noise and
confusion in the streets the jewellers
in our large cities are not so deeply
affected by events of great import but
that they rally sufficiently from a
nights sleep to go about their work
as usual the next day.
Now. however, that he has detailed
information from nominating speeches
and platforms as to just what was
going on all this time that he was
working and doing his best to amuse
himself. the average citizen may feel
inclined to rejoice that he did not
know of the perils which beset him.
It would have worried him to the
point of despair had he known what
this country was up against during the
last three or four years, and still is,
according to the nominating speech
makers.
Civilization" one OF them tells US,
ais lowering on the brink of dissolu-
ton and anarchy" Another refers to
what we are getting into. as this
kaleidoscope cataclysm." ''Dun and
sinister clouds loom on the horizon
and find US in the uttermost depths
of the slough OF despond." we are
told.
Fortunately for US. however. there
is help at hand. We are not to be
left to perish in the slough. nor to fall
off the brink into dissolution and an
archy. The respective candidates will
see. to that One of them is a new
Navarro - sspanoplied in the arrnor Of
a Vulcan" and tried in the crucible
of danger" With a man like that
leading US We need not VERY over
cataelysms.
Perhaps it is best after ALL" con-
cludes the News. that these things
are revealed to Us only once every four
years It would be hard for most OF
us to go about our business If we were
always conscious of the catacIysms
surrounding us. Here, too. it is true
that what you don't know doesn't hurt
you"

Already the Republicans are Hken-
ing their candidate to Mckinley and
the Democrats, not to be outdone in
the matter of comparisons, are liken-
ing theirs to Cleveland. For the sake
of the country's future it may be
hoped that both are right. Both Nc
Kinley and Cleveland rank among the
best presidents the United States has
had. Soon after his nomination Sen
ator Harding announced his intention
of following McKinley's course and
conducting his campaign from the
front porch of his home in Marion,
Ohio. Tremendous pressure has been
put upon him to alter his program so
as to include addresses in at least a
few of the big cities, but after much
consideration and consultation with
his party leaders he has reiterated his
determination to abstain from any
swings around the circle and to con-
fine himself to prepared statements
and addresses issued from his home.
THE country is calling for deliberate
utterances." says Senator Harding,
and that is why the front-porch
method appeals so strongly to me-"
The Democrats should welcome a sim
liar course on the part of Governor
Cox The country is in no mood for a
hurrah campaign. It is too busy to
listen to noise.

4 DROP IN ONIONS.

Time and again It has been urged
prices. The statement at last ap-
pears to have been verified in the case
of onions. But what has been the
consumers gain has been the produc-
ers' loss. This is something that fire.
quently happens and there seems to be
no remedy for it.
From Texas and California, from
growers of Spanish, Bermuda and
Egyptian onions, come reports of a
huge financial loss in onions. This
in spite of the fact that the 1920 crop
excels in quality and uniformity and
exceeds IN quantity any previous crop
for many years back.
Shipments of Hundreds of carloads
of onions, it is said, have been refused
by consignees, who had shortly before
received shipments equally as large,
which they had been unable to sell.
As a result the market has been sur
feited with onions.
The loss has run up into hundreds
of thousands OF dollars. It is borne
principally by the onion growers them
selves, but distributors have been hard
hit, too. All because the Iowly onion
has been unusually thrifty and has
produced so huge a crop that the de-
mand has been unable to keep apace
with the remarkable supply.
AS an example of market conditions,
it is reported New York has never
been known to receive the vast guam
titles of onions that have been shipped
there during the present season. Car
loads originally intended for other
markets and which were refused by
consignees because of the big supply
already on hand, were diverted to New
York in the hope of finding there a
ready market. This steady influx of
onions overpowered the resources of
eastern distributors and hundreds of
carloads were abandoned to the trans
portation companies as even the cost
OF freight could not be realized from
them. The transportation companies
began by charging rs cents and 80
cents per crate for the tons of onions
which were tying up their cars and
ended by giving them away by the
crate to relieve the congestion in their
freight yards.
This unusual condition has caused
onion growers in many sections to
pIow up for other crops hundreds of
acres of onions which were ready for
market, but which they knew would
not even pay for production. The
public is the gamer.
