JUST ORDINARY PRUDENCE

Would a North Dakota farmer ship a car of wheat
to a Russian city?
He might do SO as a donation. He would not az a
matter of business. He might ship it to Chicago. or
New York, or liverpool. But he would not ship It to
St Petersburg. ~ 49,, ..N
His refusal would not be because Of any enmity
toward the Russian people. 1t would be merely the re-
suit Of ordinary business Judgment which promotes him
to send his wheat to some place from which he is reason
ably sure OF receiving pay for 1t. He knows that II he
ships to q recognized market in a civilized country he
will receive a payment. He knows that if he should send
1t to Russia he is likely never to hear from it again.
If the Russian people should assert themselves, kick
out the Bolshevik minority from the places Of power
which they have usurped, establish a sane and orderly
government. and Themselves settle down to habits Of
industry and thrift, It would not be long before a man in
America would ship goods to Russia just as readily a
to any other place. That attitude does not Indicate a
desire to dictate the political or business policy of Russia.
It is simply the outsrowth OF = very natural and proper
desire to protect ones own interest.
Eastern investors are reluctant to invest in enter
prices sponsored BY the present socialistic administration
Of North Dakota. They would invest II the administra.
ton Of a6adrs we're In different banda. They are not
specially concerned IN the politics Of North Dakota.
What they are concerned in is the security Of their own
property. They will invest money only where there IL
satisfactory assurance that the principal will be returned
intact, and whore interest will be paid when due. The
rate Of interest is important, but secondary. ~
The security which they desire Is not now offered
in North Dakota state industrial investments. It ID
offered elsewhere. Therefore the money which would
otherwise come to North Dakota goes to other states.
This will continue 20 long as present conditions exist.
When we can show that we have changed the conditions
the state VIII again become attractive to the eastern In.
vestor. And, BE- It remembered. in the great majority OF
cases, the eastern investor Is not the man Of millions
but of hundreds. or OF a very few thousands.>

WHAT'S A COURT ORDER:

Some little time ago IA order was ta1utd ~ . North
Dakota district court restraining Governor Frasisr from
continuing with his proceeding to oust L. J. weha from
hts position on the worknen's compensation board. Prior
to that tho governor had gone through the form OF dis
missing Wehe. and this actton>Was hold ~unlAwsul)by the
court. The governor proceeded to renew his efortEto Dust
ths on6cial whom he had appointed, and was restrained
by court order. On Saturday he carried out his former
plan by conducting a hearing In the case, ignoring the
court order entirely.
This action on the part Of the governor is not sur
prising. He and, the political element with which he il
allied have invariably shown their contempt for any law
which tends to interfere with their action. Courts. con-
sntutions and statutes mean nothing to them. Their
idea Of government is that of an autocracy. responsible
to nobody.
1t is not the least OF the offenses of the Socialist die
tatorship with which this state is cursed that during It's
years of power it has generated an attitude toward the
authority of law which it will take the state many years
TO outlive. And that feeling, which has been implanted
in the popular mind, and cultivated and fostered in every
imaginable way, is a direct menace to the security Of a
state. 1t is the same spirit which elsewhere has over
thrown every senblance Of legal authority and vested all
authority, sometimes in an irresponsible despotisnn, and
in other cases in an equally irresponsible mob.

NOTHING DOING WITH RUSSIA.

The attitude of the United States toward tho Soviet
government of Russia may be considered to be pretty
we'll settled. A few months ago Secretary Colby outlined
the position of the administration Of that day, and now
Secretary Hughes has stated the positton Of the present
administration. In their essentials the two positions are
identical, In each case there is the declaration that the
United States cannot est ablish business relations with an
organization whose entire course has been a demonstra-
tion Of contempt for those principles on whose recoEni.
ton and observance along business relations must rest
The Soviet government has usurped authority. over
every form Of industrial and commercial activity In the
territory under it's sway. It has made It impossible for
individuals within it's jurjsdiction to enter into contract
relations with the outside world. because the government
may at any time prevent the execution of those contracts.
The government itself has r%epudiated the principle Of
property rights. 1t will keep its pledges only while that
course Is to its advantage. It. recognizes no obligation
in the matter at all
The United States government win enter into no
compact with an administration so constituted and SO
inspired. Presumably there will be no obstacle placed
in the way Of trade by individuals on this side and The
Soviet government or those under its control. but such
trade will be at the traders own risk. Z
One point of the statement by the secretary Of state
merits attention and emphasis. 1t is that in which he
offers the reminder that the destiny of the people of Rus
sta is in their own hands, and that assdstancesfr from with
out will be fruitless and worthless 30 long as they them
selves neglect to apply to their affairs the plain prin-
ciples of progress. It will be useless to pour food and

WHAT KIND OF SEED:

Presently We shall be planting seed. field seAd, garden
seed, flower seed-all sorts. What kind shall we plant?
Naturally, the crop to be raised must be adapted
to the locality. We do not expect to raise cotton or cot.
fee in North Dakota. We raise other things just Is
valuable. and which cannot be raised elsewhere as we'll
as here. The staples which are adapted to this locality
are pretty we'll understood. Then there are crops which
must be regarded as largely experimental. but which
give sufficient promise to warrant some attention being
paid to them.
III. all of these instances We have learned that ;he
selection OF seed is quite important Certain varieties of
wheat, or corn, will thrive and Yield here better than will
others. And we have learned to rely on those varieties
which have given most satisfactory results under test.
But there is still a good deal to be learned Of the iapor-
lance of selecting good seed OF 2 particular variety.
Poorly developed seed may, and sometimes does.
give az good results as seed of q better grade, But the
chances are very much against it, It has less Eerminat-
ing power. and the plants produced from it have less
to sustain them through the first short period Of their
growth. II the general conditions then are unfavorable.
that fact will be reflected in the crop. Hence it is always
wise economy to select sound. we'll developed seed, even
at a greater cost
dency to proceed on a hit-or miss basls- 70 many corn
is corn, and peas are peas. and differences In die, flavor.
and time Of maturity are ignored altogether. A little
study Of these matters will be profitable. And In all
cases It Is to be remembered that the cost OF seed Is
about the smallest item of expense. and that a small sum
spent on the best seed will often make the difference
between the success and failure of an entire seasons
work. ~

EFFORT TO REDUCE
FREIGHT RATES
Farmer Hearings Help in Pre-
pairing Briefs.

pairing Briefs.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. l.
Results Of hearings held in a
number of Missouri counties re-
Gently by Farm Bureau officials
were used last week at a con-
ference of representatives of
farmers organizations and MEM
bers of the Missouri Public
Service Commission. The con-
ference was a preliminary one,
called by Jewell Mayes, Secreta-
ry Of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, for the purpose of col
lecting data with which to pre-
sent the farmers case for a re-
duction Of freight rates on
grains and live stock.
The hearings were held orig
inally for the purpose of ascer-
tanning What Aails Agricul-
ture?" and it was with a view
to placing the results before the
recently authorized Congress-
ional committee Of inquiry that
they we're instigated. Copies of
the testimony are being used
for that purpose now, the econ
omic experts of the American
and State Farm Bureau Fedora
tions preparing the information
in condensed form.
Facts and figures were pre-
sented at the hearing here taken
from reports from Ray, Madi-
son, Perry, Saline, Harrison, St
Louis and Randolph counties. II
| is a significant fact that in the
reports which were not prepar-
ed for freight rate hearing
that almost without exception
the farmers declare excessive
rates are responsible, in a large
measure, for the present condi

The records presented by the

showing that the actual cost Of
