One Third Hens in North Dakota
Ara TOafQrS

Fargo, N. Done third of the
hens in North Dakota are loafers and
these boarders cause half million
dollars loss annually, is the conserva-
tive estimate of O. A. Barton, poul-
try specialist at the North Dakota
Agricultural College. Marketing the
non-layer in the fall is means of in
creasing the value Of the farm poul-
try flock, he asserts.
Culled hens should be marketed
during the months of August and
September before the cockerels come
onto the market, according to Mr..
Barton.
IF the Gull is healthy and under
weight, as is often the condition on
the farm, it may pay to feed it in
preparation for market. Often by
feeding these culls can their value a
pound and their weight be increased"
said Mr.. Barton.
1.-TWO good hens are required to
support one Gull, so that if a man
owned two good layers and one Gull
he would just break even, whereas, if
he would get rid of the Gull he would
receive nine-tenths as much for eggs
in year and would not have the ex-
pense of keeping useless hen.'

New Bulletin Discusses Weeds

Thirty most troublesome weeds OF
North Dakota are described, discuss
ed, and illustrated in a new bulletin
which has been released this week by
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege. The bulletin is written by O. A..
Stevens, botanst.
'In North Dakota, lack Of DIVERSE
fed farming and of intensive cultiva-
ton has contributed to the prevalence
Of weeds. states Mr.. Stevens in COM
menting upon the seriousness Of the
weed problem in the state. For the
most part our weeds have been intro
duced from the older countries where
they have been weeds since time i'm
memorial. They affect crops by US
ing moisture and food materials need
ed by crop plants, croWding and
shading, harboring insects and dis
ease pests, and by increasing labor by
adding to the bulk Of straw and hay
and by making necessary more thor
ough cleaning of seed. Weeds also
detract from the value Of land"
"Annuals start each year from
seed. If seed production can be pre-
vented the main source of supply is
cut off The most effective means Of
control is surface cultivation, but
grain crops give little chance for de-
stroying weeds during the growing
season except by hand pulling. When
the weeds become numerous, recourse
must be had to cultivated crops or
bare summer fallow. The latter is
only partially successful as seeds are
allowed to mature before the ground
is plowed Moving is useful meth
cd where it can be done.
To destroy perennlals, weeds that
l. f ~
underground parts must be dug out,
or they must be starved by prevent
ing leaf growth. A combination of
the two methods can be used in most
cases. Careful cultivation, pasturing,
keeping the surfact soil in good condi-
ton for the growth of weed seeds
in the ground are some Of the means
by which these weed pests can be
fought.

ACCEPTING X MILLION

The world is tremendously relieved even more than that, perhaps-by the news that the Garland young gen. tlemen, Charles and Hamilton, have changed their minds and will accept, after a year of determined protest against such an act of degredation, the of their father, the late James A. Garland.
 The world has been a bit uneasy over this matter The world loves the scents of the rose the gold of the sunlight. But even more than the scent of the rose and the gold of the the world loves to contem- plate the splendor of the punches of roses million dollars will buy for the sick, the old, the wretched of the land. It loves to contemplate the good that might be done with q million in transporting physical sufferers to places where they might rest and en- joy to the full the glory of the golden sunlight.
 The Garland brothers may not bring the scent of roses to the suffer- ing, the gold of the sunlight to the sick, but as the humorist who is not above punning might say, they will do something intelligent with their cents and their gold.
 The more a man believes in him self and his habit of thinking rightly, the more he should be willing to ac- cept such a gift, confident that he would be able to make use of the money in such a way that there would come from it benefit to the world.

SENSE OF PROPORTION

The old-time country banker used to say that he was able to tell whether a man would meet his note promptly by noticing the manner in which he handled his cash in its physical aspect. If the banker saw a man drop his change or bills loosely in his pocket he came to the conclusion that the man was careless and would be seeking days of grace" when the notes due date arrived.
 If the person handling money was seen to take out a wallet for his bills and place them therin with care, or purse for his silver, he was promptly considered good risk"
 Today it is sometimes possible for the customer to foresee something of the future of the tradesman who waits on him, especially in such store as a grocery. The customer buys some crackers, a pound of butter, half a dozen eggs, some celery. Few gro- cers would place the eggs at the bot tom of the bag which the customer is to carry away with him, and place the heavier articles on top of the eggs. The foolishness of endangering the safety of the eggs by such an ar engagement would be too evident,
 But it is not uncommon for the GUS toner to see the tradesman place the crackers at the bottom and the heavier pound of butter directly on top. The result is if the bag is carried some distance, that the crackers are broken into bits by the time the pur- chases are unpacked at home.
 It is quite likely that the merchant who has no more foresight than this fails to realize that his customer will be provoked at the condition of the crackers and will be tempted to hold a little grudge against the merchant. This is a small matter but the sug gcstion may be carried farther It is probable that the merchant who packs his goods in this manner, or the clerk who does it, has poor sense or proportion and that his lack in this re- gard will or has already made him build his business on an insecure foundation.
 In every field of cndeavor there should be thought as to which thing should be tackled first before taking up another. Begin at the beginning and build logically. firmly, to the end that the whole work, when completed may be as indestructible as it may pos sibly be made.

AT WASHINGTON.

There are few points of similarity between Secretary of State Hughes and ex-President Wilson. There is a greater resemblance between the Peace Conference and the conference now being held at Washington.
 And yet, notwithstanding the dif- ferences in men and parlcys, the news of today puts the picture of these two men, these two meetings of represcn- tatives of nations, within the same frame.
 This country had great hopes of what would come from the conference at Paris The end sought by President Wilson was generally known long before the conference was ended, The plot of the story was disclosed before it's details were told. The ending Of the tale was, 10 say the least, disap- pointing. There was an anti-climaX. What chance there had been 10 make the tale one of force and its influence worth while, was thrown away by the people of this country, by those who refused to compromise and by those who were unwilling to compromise upon the compromise proposed by them. Tho President was firm; the Senate was firm, and the people, disgusted perhaps were firm in their decision to have none of the result Of the combined work Of President and Senate.
 The Washington conference is not over. Silence has been maintained as to the exact plan which Secretary Hughes and the President and the American delegation have to bring in- to being an arrangement which will give a feeling of satisfaction and SC

en months to year before any action may be taken. The board urges the passage of the Lampert bill for re- lief at the Patent Office.
 There is the information also that in 1S4S the salaries of the patent eX- aminer and judge of a United States district court were s2,500 each. Since that time the wage of the latter of ficer has been raised to $7,500 or s10,- coo depending upon the population in his jurisdiction, while the salary of the examiners has been increased but S2O0.
 Probably there never was time in the history of the world when new in ventions were so desired, when mems minds were more bent upon the work of invention. As a direct, necessary result of this situation there comes the vital need of an efficient Patent Office where there will be no delays to discourage the inventive genius to bend all his energies to the task for which he is peculiarly qualified The inventor struggles through years of poverty too often that he may give something of value to the world to be compelled to wait an unconscionable length of time for his reward Too often he fails to profit as he should by the results of his skill and clever ness.
 It is believed that the pendency of the Reclassification bill uncertain as it is as to time Of passage and of pas sage itself, should be no excuse for further delay in d consideration, at least, of matter which means so much to industry--so much to the in dividuals and manufacturing concerns of this part of the country especially. The directors of the local Chamber of Commerce are to be commended for giving their support to the senti- ment which, it is hoped will result in better pay for Patent Office en- ployes to the end that the examining force may be made adequate.

curity to the people of this country after the conference has been ad- iourncd It is still possible to mag inc that there remains something concrete, tangible to be done, and that socrttary Hughes will be able to bring its accomplishment about,
 Today's news suggests that possibly the Secretary of state Eavo a hint of that plan in his words Of yesterday If so there is seen, as yet, no prospect of such a hope as he may have being realized He urged that there be se- lceted a commission of jursts 10 take mp the general matters of rules Of warfare, and that such commissions findings be considered at n later com ference, If his suggestion Is inter- prctod correctly fl means that in the plan, heretofore referred to in Il gen- craI way but now for the first time in detai Is the core of the permanent arrangement desired by him, by the President and by the American dele gntion,
 It would be natural that in such plan=-thc formation of commission of such general jurisdtction-any ad- vocate of the existing League of Ma lions whose loyalty to the league out weighed his desire for immediate binding ties with this country, would see q trespasgng on the functions of the league. Until such a League sup porter had given up hope entirely of seeing the United States a party to the existing League, he would deprecate the idea of the selection by this con ference of such a permanent commis- sion.
 This is exactly the stand taken by MT. Balfour yesterday. Immediately upon the making of this suggestion by MT. Hughes, the representative of England objected to the proposed broad powers of such a commission. He would limit the matter to be in vestigated by it to matters of air war fare; he called attention to the de- cisions already made by the confer- ence on the submarines and poison gas, holding that such questions hav- ing been settled there remained noth- ing for the commission to do, were it to be selected, other than to discuss matters of air warfare.
 The feeling is irresistible that Sec retary Hughes, in his suggestion of yesterday, preached the plan hoped for by President Harding all through his administration, that the germ of an association of nations would come as the result of this conference, and definite plans made which would keep alive that germ. This commits sion proposed might well be the link that would tie the present conference to others to come.
 It remains to be seen if, after all, something startlingly satisfactory may result from the conference, or if it is to be adjourned leaving widely diverg- ent opinions as to its practical sue cess.

VISIT TO RUSSIA
 IS MOST COSTLY
New Yorker Loses Life Savings,
 Including His Clothing

Moscow. Jan. 1O.-Russia is no place to spend a holiday, according to Serge Solovieff, formerly a busi- ness man of New York city and Syr acuse, N. Y, and later a corporal in the United States Sixteenth Field Ar tillery, who recently arrived here on his way home. full of troubles and minus his clothes and s1O0 in cash taken from him at the frontier be- tween Soviet Russia and the Ear Eastern republic.
 Mr. Solovieff related that after 16 years in New York he had accumu- lated some money and thought he could afford a holiday and improve his health.
 Last June he left Seattle for Japan and then, as he speaks Russian, de- cided to wander through Siberia. Then he continued west, thinking to visit Moscow. But at the frontier he was stopped by the "Cheka,' as is famiIiarly termed the active police, his papers, money and clothes taken from him and he was told these would be held in safe keeping, as ''evcry thing was free in Soviet Russia," and plenty of new clothes and money could be had for the asking.
 After a fruitless visit to the "Che- ka" headquarters where he heard light conversation about how one third of his fellow passengers had just been shot by mistake pending a closer examination of their papers, he got aboard a departing train and reached Samara.
 There he saw some Americans from the American Relief Administration who gave him work at the rate of 75 cents 9 week. some food and clothes and later he came in to Moscow, where he was able to get papers to take him to Riga, outside the Russia where everything and everybody is free.

ish time and one half for Sunday and holiday work, also, except after 10 hours. Monthly and weekly bases of pay are sought by about two-thirds of the roads involved as opposed to a daily rate basis which the employes ask to be continued. Another rule which the enpioycs ask to be re- tained provides three hours pay for two hours work for calls. and time and one half thereafter when the full weekly assignment of hours has not been worked. The roads seek eim- ination of any punitive payment under this rule.
 Another rule specifying time and one-half for work done before Gnd after the regular worl; period was agreed to hy only half of the roads bringing disputes to the board. The carriers who could not agree to this rule desire to pay only pro rata pay for work contiguous to the regular as sirnment.
 The eight hour day, provided by Rule As has been agreed to by 25 carriers but go roads objected to cer- tain features. The main objection was in it's application especially in the case of men having lighter intermit- tent employment. Other carriers ask a nine or ten hour day.
 A majority of roads indicated their desire to pay a straight monthly sal ary for all services in such cases of work. This would elim- mate all overtime and would apply mainly to agents at small stations where the train service is infrequent, to gatemen announccrs, train' crew callers and similar employees,
