WHEAT GROWERS
HANDLED MUCH
OF CROP, CLAIM

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 49,
With threshing just barely underway
the North Dakota Wheat Growers
association, during the last week in
August, handled 100000 bushels of
wheat, paying in advance thereon 20
per cent of the local market price, ac-
croding to A. J. Scott, secretary of the
organization. This would Indicate
that the association is going con-
cern, and that ample finances are
available for pooling and selling the
1922 crop of its members.
This was done without the use of
any portion Of the $5,000,00O loan
from the U. S. War Finance corpora
tion, which will not be available until
September Is. In the meantime,
North Dakota bankers are carrying
the loan, but as the storage tickets
are guilt-edge security, they are do
ing it willingly, as far as their names
permit.
/ Of these 100000 bushels 10000
represent grain stored in local ele-
vators while 100000 bushels were
shipped direct to the sales agencies
in Duluth and Minneapolis, it was
said.
According to weekly reports sent
to the association by the elevators,
great many more bushels have
been delivered to the elevators for
which the association has received
no storage tickets up until Sep

DAIRY CONGRESS
TO.bELARGEST

Hamline, Mimi, Sept. 13.-The Ma
.tional Dairy Exposition, to be held
at the state fair ground here. Oc-
tober TIA, promises to be the largest
and most popular in sixteen years Of
constructive work, according to Col
onel w. E. Skinner, general manag-
er.
Everything that pertains to dairy
agricultural and its allied industries
will be shown and demonstrated.
Returning to the northwest for
the second time, the National Dairy
Association, which is staging the ex-
position, desires to prove that diver
sified farming with high-producing
dairy stock pays in money. A corre-
lated object is the education of the
consumer in the greater use of dairy
products"
Pre-war railroad rates have been
granted by the Western Passenger
Association for all who attend. There
will be rate Of one and one-third
fares from the northern peninsular
Of Michigan, all Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, North Dakota, eastern South
Dakota, Eastern Montana and north
ern Iowa. From the rest of the
United States there will be a rate Of
one and one-half fare, on the certi-
ficate plan.
In the exposition will be found ex-
hibits of the best producing dairy
cattle of the five leading dairy breeds
the Holsteins, Jerseys, Guernseys,
Ayrshires and Brown Swiss. The
pure-bred cattle exhibits usually
number, one thousand, including the
prize winners of the fairs and exposi-
tions of the year.
The United States department of
agricultural, through its dairy divi-
sion, will exhibit all of it's research
work with regard to cattle and cost
Of production, and all of it's expert
ments in the manufacturer of milk
products.
Students from the state agricultur-
al colleges, will compete in two ma
tional judging contests, one Of dairy
cattle and one of dairy products.
About twenty states are annually rep
resented. Extensive preparations are
being made by leaders in women's
work throughout the country for the
"Healthland" show, an exhibit typi-
flying the efforts Of children by the
leading welfare organization of the
United States.

FOLLOWING THE BOY SCOUT TRAIL

has been given to Scouting in the pro-
grams of some of the leading educa-
tional associations Of the country.
Some Of the educators most familiar
with this work indorse it very strong
ly, and encourage schools to stimulate
the work Of Scouting.
The Department of Superintendence
Of the National Educational associa-
tion maintain strong committee on
Boy Scouts and the Public Schools.
Their reports to the department at the
last two meetings are Illuminating
and interesting. They indicate that
some desirable result are being ac-
complished where the schools and
Scouting organizations have been CO.
operating heartily.
In Detroit, Michigan, about twenty
five Scout troops are installed in
school building. The Board of Ed
ucation employees a Scout Executive
as they would a teacher and have the
same control over these troops that
they have over the pupils while at.
tending schools. The Detroit plan is
somewhat extreme and is being watch
ed with considerable interest. While
it cannot be initiated by all cities, il
is interesting to observe the value
these schools place upon Scouting.
Our schools prepare for citizenship
and teach patriotism and the princi-
pies of Democracy. Scouting supple.
ments these by training in actual ex.
perience the duties and responsible
ties of Democracy and the practice Of
patriotism. The practice Of service
and the realization Of his usefulness
in society improve the Scout in his
relations as pupil in the schools and
in all social groups to which he be.

SCOUTING AND THE SCHOOL
,{By Prof. Nelson Sauvain, Supt., De-
wills Lake Pnh1ic Schoo1s\

>{By Prof. Nelson Sauvain, Supt., De-
wills Lake Public Schools).
The aims of the Boy Scout Move
ment and the schools are closely re-
lated. Together the relations of the
Boy Scout organization and the
schools may properly be cooperative.
Both aim to make of the boys the
desirable citizens they should be-
come. Neither needs to intrude upon
the activities Of the other; but each
may supplement the work Of the other
to make it more effective.
The school day is short and per-
mits the boy certain hours of leisure
which the Boy Scout organization
seeks to utilize by providing attractive
and valuable recreation. This time
which the schools cannot use is made
to count for the more complete devel-
'opment of the boys and the produc-
ing of more symmetrical manhood.
When these relations are properly
understood and appreciated by BOTH
it often leads to the discovery OF
ways whereby they may cooperate in
the accomplishment of their common
aims. Although Scouting is largely
a program of outdoor activities, places
of meeting are needed, which the
schools often furnish by utilizing
rooms that would otherwise be left
idle outside of school hours.
Scoutmasters of the right type en-
courage and inspire boys to more
persistent efforts that lead to higher
standards of success is school. Gases
are reported in which such influences
has resulted in sending up the pursuit
Of an education.

bismarck, IN. u, sept. l5.-GOV-
ernor R. A. Nestos today issued
proclamation setting the week of
September rs to 80 aside as Dairy
week in North Dakota. In his proc

lows:
Whereas, there is to be hel in St..
Paul, Minnesota, on October seventh

Whereas, the farmer of North
Dakota has learned from bitter ex-
perience that in order to establish a
sound and steady economic develop
ment in our state we must adopt a
we'll balanced program of diversified
tion and crop rotation, and that this
industry is Of the utmost i'm
portance, and
Whereas, it seems most wise that
our farmers should take advantage of
this great dairy exposition, so close
at hand, and not only attend the ex-
/ position in large numbers, but also so
f, organize in their various communi-
ties that the greatest good may come
to our state from this exposition, in a
greatly increased number of breed
ers' associations, dairy circuits, COW
testing associations and boys and
girls calf clubs, and in a broader
knowledge Of the most economical
and profitable methods by which our
farmers may get into and conduct the
dairy business.
Now, Therefore I, R. A. Nestos,
governor of the state of North Da-

aside the week of September 25th to
Both as Dairy week and urge that
during the said week the business

In the state confer and seriously con-
slider the dairy problem. and de-
termine just what may be done in
such community to promote the or

ing associations, cooperative breed
ing associations, boys and girls calf
clubs and other community activities
incident thereto for the purpose of

FARMERS LOSE
MONEY THROUGH
wheat MIXING

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 13.-
How farmers may be losing money
through channels that may easily be
overlooked was brought out in an in
terview Saturday with John @. Adams,
federal grain inspector, in the office
of County Agent D. B. Morris.
The matters in question is that Of
mixed varities, Mr.. Adams pointed
out that in many cases where the
quality, weight, color, freedom from
foul seeds of wheat, are such as to
put it in top class, the content of
the other varities of wheat may re-
duce it's value as much as Is cents
per bushel.
In the matter, for instance, of Dur
UNI wheat, which is used for making
macaroni, the content of between 2
and 10 per cent of hard red spring
wheat would lower its rating six
grades or, for example, from No. 1
to sample. This, despite the fact that
hard red spring wheat is higher pric-
ed. The same objection is made to
hard red spring wheat containing a
mixture of durum.
Mr.. Adams explained this by the
difference Of uses Of the two varities
and the inability of millers to separate
the grain, and the undesirability of
each variety as substitution for the
other.
Durum wheat, as before stated, is
used for making macaroni, and when
used pure makes a product of yel-
low or creamy color, which is very
much desired. The mixture of hard
red spring wheat brings about dark
er or brownish color, because Of the
macaroni milling equipment being
unable to entirely remove the bran or
outer coating of this harder variety.
Hard red spring wheat is used for
making flour, the color of which is
desired to be pure white. Durum
J wheat being of yellowwish color
throughout, a mixture of this variety
in spring wheat darkens the color of
the flour.
|. 1t is also reported that much wheat
in this section of the state contains
considerable rye, which lowers the
value of the flour through giving it a
dark color.
The mixture of rye in the wheat is
said to be due mostly to the fact that
the wheat has been sown on land
previously cropped to rye, which
leaves seed for voluteer crop.
AS a means of avoiding a mixture
Of wheat va1ities it is suggested that
too much care cannot be given to the
selection of the seed, as in most cases
more than one variety is threshed be-
cause more than one variety has been
seeded.
Mr.. Adams strongly advises the
purchase of pure seed wheat now be.
fore all the most desirable threshings
have been shipped out of the com.
munity.

STOPS TO HELP
AUTOIST AND
is ROBBED

Valley City, N. D., Sept. 13.-Al-
though members of the sheriff's Of
flee and searching parties secured
the country near here, no trace has
been found of the highwaymen who
black-jacked John P. O'Day of Eckel-
son, N. D., knocking him unconscious
and robbed him of $38 on a road near
here early today. Sheriff Larson said
that Mr.. O'Day was able to give a
good description of the highwaymen
and all roads are being watched in an
effort to catch them.
Mr.. O'Day said that he was driving
into Valley City about 1870 a. m., and
when about two miles out of town
noticed car stalled in the road.
Thinking the occupants were having
i car trouble, he stopped to see if he
could help. AS he stepped from the
car, he said, one of the struck him
over the head, apparently with a black
jack, knocking him unconscious. AS
the man struck him, several men came
from the other car and rifled his
pockets.
In about half an hour Mr.. O'Day
regained consciousness and drove his
machine to the city and reported the
affair. Members Of the sheriff's
force and Deputy Sheriff James Mil
hgan Of Fargo went to the spot OF
the holdup at once but were unable
to find any definite clues.

WILL STOP RUSSIAN
SPEECHES AT HAGUE
Subcommission on Private
Property Decides on Writ
ten Discussion.

speciql Cable to THE NEW YonK HERALD.
Copyright. 1899, hy Tue New York HERALD
THE HAGUE. June 22.-with the van
guard of the Russian delegation en-
route to The Hague the three sub
commissions planning the procedure to-
day tried to hold the conference down
to brass tacks and keep it free from
propagandist speechifying. The pri-
vate property sub-commission, for in
stance. under the chairmanship of Sir
Philip Lloyd-Greame. decided that its
business should be carried on by writ
ten question and answer. giving the
Russians no opportunity to indulge in
propaganda and speeches wholly un-
connected with the material points under
consideration.
The sub-commission pursued a policy
OF secrecy in reaching this decision. But
newspaper correspondents were informed
that the British delegation, which had
two spokesmen present throughout,
would be able to give an accurate ac-
coune of what happened. There was a
sharp row, II appears, when the British
6Sor0
NIT the Russians to make speeches,
though insisting that what they said
should have no effect upon the result
OF the conference. But the French and
Belgians. persisting in their demand for
the written question and answer method,
eventually won the day.
These delegations. as at Geona,
stand together In demanding the re-
turn of property, or when that Is i'm
possible. the payment of its equivalent
as indemnity. The British and Italians
are ready to accept the Soviet principle
of the confiscation of private property
and are willing to accept compensation
in the shape of long leases on property
In place of actual ownership.
The suh-commission on credits decided,
before taking any steps itself. to ask
the Russians to submit their point of
view on this subject This is consid-
cred almost certain to lead to a reitera-
tion of the lengthy document submitted
at Genoa. tabulating nearly s9,000,0 ,000.-
900 worth of needs, including direct
loans to the Soviet Government for rail-
ways
The subcommission on debts decided
to coordinate all debt demands and ask
an explanation by the Russians on all
disputed points.
Thus, while the private property sub
commission Is going ahead with a
method that will assure silence, there
will be ample opportunity for the Rus
slams to preach their own peculiar doc
trine under the guise of point of view"
In the other commissions.
Everything is now awaiting definite
word from Moscow that the five head
delegates. for whom passports have
teen asked, actually are on the way.
1t is admitted that the Russians will not
stay long IL they are to have no voice
in the procedure and 1t is predicted
that the first meeting of the Russian
and non-Russian commissions will be
faced with the old demand OF the Rus
SLAMS that the procedure be modified.
even before debts. private property and
credits, upon which the two sides al
ready are far enough apart, come up for
decision
