While q school IS now q place Of

fact, the word itself is derived from
the Greek "schoe," meaning leisure.
Probably this arose from the fact
that only people with leisure were
able to attend school.

WALES BANKER APPROVE.

Summer fallow and fight has
just received high and unexpected
approval. The North Dakota Banker
for March contains an article by Geo.
II. Johnston, of Wales. N. D., who
shows by figures and tables that
wheat prices always fall on big pro.
duction and rise on low production.
A low price one year is invariably
followed by restricted production next
year and a higher prices. If farmers
give way to their natural inclination
to increase production, society
promptly fines them by reducing. the
price.
Prices now are far below cost of
production, and below other prices, of
what farmers must buy. If farmers
increase production notably this year,
prices will surely drop still further.
MIR. Johnston shows the iron law of
our present society. Farmers must
restrict production or go bankrupt,
They must summer fallow and fight.
But what a society it is in which
producers can get living prices only
by restricting production!-in which
men are paid not in proportion to
service rendered, but lack of service

According to a survey of the state
there are 8, O33 farmers in this state
who need help. They asked for 675,-
500 bushels of seed wheat, lis, $50
Of barley, 73o, 500 of oats, 189, $50
of corn, S5, 800 of potatoes, Is, 400
of millet and 80. $50 of flax. 1t will
be utterly impossible to fill all these
needs, of course; for the total appro-
priation, a part of which will be
expended in Montana and Washington
is only So, 600. 900.
The law limits the total appropria-
tion to one man to 5000 and provides
that only wheat, oats, barley and flax
may be purchased with the loans.
1t is a surprise to find as a result of
survey of the So counties of the state
that Cavalier stood second highest
in the number applying for loans, and
first in the amount of wheat request
ed, "a, 500 bushels. The counties
along the northern border seem to be
hardest hit. In Divide 900 farmers
need help. in Burke, 500; in Renville
400; in Bottineau, $50; in Rolette.

The counties which, according to
the survey, do not need help are
