MAKES SAVINGS OF OVER $4,000.

Washington. - Secretary Hoover,
In his first annual report, made pub
lie. tells President Harding that the
establishment of real department
of commerce. effective In service to
producers. manufacturers and dis
tributors. nble to give economic in
terpretation Of importance to the
American public generally. and to
stimulate American trade and mer-
chant MARINE" requires "a thorough
reorganization and entire regrouping
of the federal functions bearing on
these problems" He adds. however.
that inasmuch A. these matters are
now actively before Congress and the
administration It Is not necessary on
this occasion to enter into discussion
Of them.
"As 1 assumed office on March 4.
1921" the commerce secretary writes
the president. this report covers but
four months of the administration of
the department under my direction.
The new administration during this
four months devoted itself to two
primary questions:
First. Reorganization OF the de-
partmentsl expenditures.
Second. Reorganization OF those
bureaus concerned with industry and
trade. that they may become Of more
effective service to the community.
1.-THE results Of reorganization en-
ablsd u revision Of the estimates Of
expenditures for the fiscal year 1891
r., so that while the total appropria-
lions available for the department
for this period are CARBIDE. yet
It now seems probable that the ex-
penses during this fiscal year will
approximate $2O.2OO.00O. showing
total saving of about 100000. or
16 20 per cent. of the available ap-
propriations.
The results Of reorganization Of
the bureaus concerning industry and
trade are In part indicated by the
increase in volume OF demand upon
the department for helpful action or
Information. These demands have
now reached q rate of more than
100000 per annum.
The further practical results to
American commerce and industry will
be more evident later In the year
md comment upon them can best be
deferred until results have been fur
Their realized"
Secretary Hoover calls attention
that while the total foreign trade Of
the nation decreased by $3.17S.626,-
nm during the mast fiRcal YEAR there
was a slight increase in the visible
balance of trade in favor of the
United States as q result of the years

Exports for the year tOtalled S.

BY u. b. MORRIS.
County Agent

Inc biggest problem confronting
the farmers of the northwestern part
OF Grand Forks County particularly,
and of the entire county generally,
Is, the control and eradication Of the
yellow menace, more commonly
known as the perennial SOW thistle.
The annual loss to the farmers of this
section OF the country because Of this
pest is enormous. The first loss comes
directly thru reduced yields of grain,
TOR no land car produce a crop of
SOW thistle and a crop of grain at the
Same time. Where SOW thistle pre-
walls the yields of wheat. oats and
barley are cut down from one quarter
to n half Of the normal production.
The second loss brought about by
this pest comes in the form, of the
large amount of extra cultivation that
must be used in order to hold the
weed In check, If crops are to be pro-
auced at all. If ordinary cultivation
