Bismarck's prize. convicts all
dressed up in their striped suits-re-
turned to the city at noon today from
Fargo where they've been enjoying
themselves and advertising the city.
A right welcome greeting was CIV
en- them, too, by people who were at
the train when the Rotarians stepped
OF in their novel dress, which was o
distinct hit at the Rotary district con-
ference at Fargo.
Led by John A. Larson as head
convict" which entitled him to wear
a hat and black coat over his striped
coat and carry baton, the Rotarians
marched through the hotels and
downtown streets and ended with their
regular weekly luncheon.
Henry Duemeland occupied second
place in the line Of March, which was
single file in lockstep cadence, each
with a hand on the shoulder of the
convict" ahead. Mr.. Duemeland fur
nished the music on drum, while
all the Rotarians joined in hearty
singing of, songs.
Mayor in Bunch"
The city government can now func-
ton again for three of the best look
ing convicts in the bunch were Mayor
Lucas, Commissioner John French
and John A. Larson. c. F. Bolt and
Mr.. French sought distinction dress,
even among their fellow "prisoners,'
for their stripes ran latitudinally.
Those Who Paraded.l
Thirty Rotarians were in Fargo.
The nineteen who returned on one
special Pullman today and paraded
in the city in uniform were Hal Dob
ler, G. H. Humphreys, Chas. Baker,
Phil J. Meyers, c. w. McGray, Henry
Duemeland, Carl Nelson, T. II. Atkin-
son, J. P. French, A. w. Lucas, Henry

Henry Halverson, Roy Logan, Jack
Whitney, Geo. Duemeland.
The few Rotarians who were un-
able to go to Fargo heard all about
the trip at the luncheon. The local
Rotarians feel elated over the recep-
ton accorded their distinctive uni
forms. In the parade Of Rotarians the
Bismarck men got the biggest hand
of any delegation. The local "con-
victs" followed St. Paul Rotarians,
dressed as saints in the parade and
the crowd promptly labeled them the

Reports on Club.
President Conklin, of the Bismarck
club gave a report to the district
conference upon the work and future
plans of the organization here Mr..
Conklin was chairman of the cleo.

district president of Rotary.
One of the questions frequently
asked the local Rotarians was:
where did you get those convict
suits?" To answer was not short
story. The Rotary committee charg-
ed with the duty of getting the suits
wired to about Is penitentiaries and
to several costume houses before they
finally got them from Minneapolis and
Chicago costumers. The Rotarians
learned in wiring the penitentiaries
that practically all of them had dis

The convention was called to order
at 1:30 p. m. today by Judge B. F.
Spaulding, of Fargo, and Theodore
G. Nelson, secretary Of the 1ndepend.
ent Voters Association reports that
there has been a decided change in
sentiment among those opposed to
the NOnpartisans recently and that
a recall now is favored, were rife.
This change Is due, 1t is said. to
the obtaining of information in Chi.
cago by Independents that the Non.
partisan state officials have made ar.
rangements for the sale OF from 5000,
900 to $4,000,O00 Of the state bonds as
obligation on the state industries. It
is reported that only the legal opinion
Of Wood and Oakley Of Chicago is
necessary to assure the sale Of these
bonds Of the state Of North Dakota
That opinion, 1t is reported, may be
favorable to the league and Is being
withheld until the present convention
acts regarding the recall, and that IL
the recall is ordered, the opinion will
be with held until after the result Of
the recall election.
Must Enlarge Credit
The realization that North Dakota
cannot carry on business unhampered
while present credit conditions exist
and the probability of a delay In the
recall election date also have strength
ened the chances for a recall, Edgard
l.. Richter, Independent association
publicity agent contends.
"The Independents have been ready
to let the Nonpartisans stew in their
own juice Richter said," as long as
it does not involve the waste of ad
ditional funds, they believed that the
Nonpartisans would thoroughly dis
credit themselves IL allowed to con-
tinue their reckless extravagances.
However, if there is probability that
they will obtain additional millions to
try out their program, we are not will
ing to pay the bills. If they sell bonds
it means that, we will have too many
bad debts to foot as it is.''
One Of the features of the conven-
tion is the playing of the Devils Lake
boy scout band of IS pieces. ,.
The program before the Independ.
ents in convention Briefly is:
FIRST-Shall the recall be ordered
against Governor Lynn ]. Frazier.
Attorney General William Lemke and
commissioner OF agriculture J. N. Hag-
an?
SECOND-If so ordered, shall it also
be directed against state auditor d.
C. Poindexter and Supreme Court
Justices Grace, Robinson and Bron-
son? rr
THIRD-If there is to be no recall,
shall the Independents submit the
proposed constitutional amendment to
strengthen North Dakota bonds by
making them the direct obligation of
the state!
F'OUIRTH-Shall a set of initiated
laws be submitted to the people?
The Initiated Measures Proposed
Are: .--.. -.

STATE COLLEGE HAS BIG
INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE

The Spring Summer Term Of the
Southeast Missouri State College at
Cape Girardeau opened Monday, April
25. The enrolment at the close of the
fourth day of registration was 40,
which is 101 more than on the cores
ponding day of last year. All indica-
tions point to a still larger increase
over the enrolment for the cores
ponding period last year and to rec
ord breaking attendance for the second
division of the spring-summer term
which begins June 20 and closes Au-
gust IL.
The enrolment at the State College
from April, 1920 to April, 1921 was
l147 which is an increase over that of
the previous year. This enrolment
comes from as counties in Missouri
and IL states other than Missouri. The
ten counties that lead in sending stu
dents to the State College are Cape
Girardeau, 30S; Stoddard. 100; Scott,
65; St. Francois, 81; Dunklin, SO; New
Madrid, AZ; Mississippi. 45; Pemiscot,
40; Franklin, 81; and Jefferson, S6.
St. Louis County is a close eleventh
with So. The Ozark Counties, rela-
tive to the total number of students at
tending college, from that section, have
an excellent representation at the
State College with '18 from Reynolds,
II from Washington, Is from Ripley,
IA from Carter, and Z from Oregon.
The state of illinois sends 10 students;

MUST COWPEAS
BE INOCULATED?

TIE question whether cowpeas must
be inoculated is often asked because
much has been said recently about
this treatment for soybeans, alfalfa
and sweet clover.
AS a general rule cowpeas do not
require incubation in most parts of
Missouri because the bacteria are
widely scattered through most soils,
says P. F. Schowengert of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. This is
due to the fact that cowpeas have
been extensively grown for a long
time and the bacteria have rapidly
multiplied on tn plant roots and have
been widely scattered also by animals,
wind, water and other natural agen-
cies. In addition, the bacteria that
live on cowpea roots are not limited to
this one crop, but grow on many other
plants including native weeds. The
peanut and velvet bean, as cultivated
crops; and the wild indigo, trefoils,
Japan clover and partridge pea, as
common weeds, have served to multi
ply and spread this kind of bacteria
till almost all soils are so well stocked
with them, that incubation is unnec-
essary.
Only in rare instances is such treat
ment needed. These occur on soils
chat have been in such bad conditions
or drainage or sourness that the BAG
terra never lived there, but which are
now reclaimed and reseeded. In dis
tricts also where the cowpea and the
plants which have the same bacteria
are not common, it will be we'll to pro-
vide the incubation. "When in doubt,
inoculate," is good advice even with
cowpeas, for the treatment is easily
and cheaply applied.

GREENE COUNTY DAIRY TOUR

To increase the value of the dairy
development work County Agent W.
F. Delp, Of Green county with the as
sistance of E. M. Harmon of the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Extension Service,
is holding occasional dairy tours. With
that idea in mind their first tour was
held early in April. Among the herds
visited was the hOlstein herd Of A. G..
Daley and the, Jersey herds of j. c.
Baxter, Fred Durnell, William Jones,
Harry Gabriel and Sons. These are
representatives of some of the best
herds in the county. The value Of the
purebred sire and the Importance of
record keeping were the points most
emphasized.
These points were probably brought
out best at the farm of J. A. Gibson
and Sons. Their herd of 80 cows is
on test in the COW testing association.
They have kept complete production
records since they started in the dairy
business Is years ago. At that time
they started with few grade cows
and purebred bull They have used
a purebred hull ever since with the re-
suit, that their average production is
now 1892 pounds of fat per COW per
year or more than twice that of the
ordinary herd. Their present herd
sire has increased the production of
his daughters over their dams from
$40 to 1872 pounds of fat year. This
is not remarkable increase but does
show good steady progress and as Mr.
Gibson says ut is better than using
a scrub and decreasing production sew
eral times thatamuch"
The party included 20 cars and
about 100 persons. All were greatly
benefited by seeing how their neigh
bors were making o success out Of the
dairy business.
