Farm labor situation in North Da-
Aota is more favorable than year
ago. The supply Of farm labor in the
state is Is per cent above a year ago
while the demand is Is per cent less.
An unusually large number Of farmers
report that they are unable to finance
labor this season, but will endeavor to
carry on their farming operations as
far as possible with the help of heir
families and thru cooperation with
their neighbors. In the long run, the
farmers will probably be ahead OF the
game, for they will farm this year
with much less expense. The spring
did not open as early as the farmers
expected, but inasmuch as on the aV-
erage little farm work is done IN TINS
section before the middle Of April, the
season is as early as ordinary. Inc
cold snap of last week with the snow
will hurt nothing, in fact the GROUND
was quite dry and the snow was well
come. The main thing for the farmers
TO remember is that the fellow VINO
is surest of success is not the one
who gets in the largest acreage, but
ne who does his work the best, even
rho the acreage is reduced somewhat.
Bv watching the farmers VINO nave
made the greatest success IN Nortn

Who have succeeded nightly, you VIII

Trimming Trees

Trees may be trimmed at any time
during the year except during the cold
winter weather, according to W. O.

It will not harm trees any should the
sap run where the limbs are cut off
Box elders will not run so much If
trimmed after the trees have leafed
out. The limbs should be cut of
smoothly and it is we'll to paint the
trees at the places from which the
limbs are taken, with good lead paint
to keep out the insects. No paint con-

class, police, jaiis, armies and navies would
be unnecessary.
If all were OF the criminal GLASS; the
imagination Is not sufficient to picture the
hell on earth thai would result. II Is an ac-
cepted fact that men are morally almost en-
tiroly what their environments make them
surround child with an environment of
crime, vice and irrelgon and you may con-
fidently expect n moral degenerate to result
Surround n child with an environment OF re-
ligion. morality and patriotism, and you
may confidently expect good, law-abdng
citizen to result. We reap what we SOW.
How much better. then. to bring up all
children under the influences OF a proper
part Of them grow UP under evil influences,
and later on try TO curb them by the fear Of
the law?
. To get at tho root OF tho matter there
must be more cooperation between the
church. the state and the press in a COM
bined effort TO remove those evil. corrupt
ing influences from the lives OF the growing
generation. All habitual criminals should
be segregated from society; all gambling
dens and houses OF vice exterminated. The
slums should bo abolished and every family
given n chance to live decently and COM
fortably. Intoxicating liquor and dope
should be firmly abolished. The moving pic
lures should he made clean.
The Sabbath Day should be freed from
all forms OF commercalism. Under such
conditions rs these crime and criminals
would be almost unknown. The reason for
our failure so far TO eradicate the evil in
nuencns OF society today IL because while
the church Is doing all IN It's power aloi.
the lines OF Improvement of society, II too
often has the opposition INSTEAD Of the CO.
operation OF that tremendous influence, the
press.
An increased police force and sterner SEN
tences will not eradicate crimo any more
than do large armies and navies eradicate
war. Enduring peace will come only when
peace IL written In tho hearts of men
instead Of "in documents only" and social
pcace will come only when righteousness In
stead Of sin possesses the hearts OF all.
