by County Agent, Murray E. Stebbins.
The County Agent has made four
rainfall gauge outfits complete and
has placed them in four distant parts
of the county with crop project men.
The men will report monthly to the
County Agent the rainfall in their
community.

Valley County and it located in Glas-
gov the County Agent considered that
a more accurate record was neces-
sary and planned with his crop CO.
operators to obtain this information.
These records will be very interest
ing and will give a much better de-
tailed report of the rain fall of the
county.
The co-operators the County Agent
has selected are J. F. futile, of Hins-
dale, Charles Reed of Opheim, w. ],

The large amount of work at the
Grand Forks office has made the work
go rather slowly but few farmers have
been delayed as the backward spring
made it impossible for field operations
to start, Mr.. Stebbins said.
The seed and root bed is in excel
lent condition and the acreage in Val
ley County will be normal or better
and all the farmers are feeling OPP
timistic about the prospects for the
1922 crop, said Mr.. Stebbins.

Debate.
Tuesday in civics we had a debate
on Resolved, that Country Life is
Better than City Life" Those on the
affirmative were Alice Behner, Belin-
da Blackseth, Bruce Null, Alta Baker
and Flossie Bruce. Those on the neg
alive side were Harry Anholt, Vivian
Hauge, Laurence Rumble, John Tat
tan and Earle Rudberg. Some good
points were brought up on each side.
Each pupil spoke for two minutes,
the captains closing the debate with
emphatic rebuttals. The rest of the
pupils acted as judges and when a
vote was taken it was found the af-
firmative won.-Flossie Bruce.
Debate.
"God made the country but man
made the city," is an old saying. 1t
was brought up while the Peptimists
were debating whether they like the
country or the city. Hard debating
between the two sides began right
away. The country's side brought up
the most important factors. 1t turned
out to be that the majority of the
P~eptimists wanted to live in the coun-
try.-Eugene Gamas.
Yep! Our controversy in the form
of a debate was settled today, Tues
day, May, second. Alice Behner's side,
backing the havSeeders. won against
her opponent, Harry Anholt, support
ing community life. Many good argu-
ments were produced by both sides,
the country jakes winning by a vote
of % to 8 in their favor.
The disputes were generally CEN
tered about electric light plants, the
paying of country school teachers and
crimes and accidents of the city.-Er-

cause it is one of the first steps to-
 ward degeneration, is the opion of
 Professor Herman Lundborg, head
 of the Race Biological Institute at
 Upsala, Sweden, and well known
 for his investigations into eugenics
 an racial biology. Prosperity brings
 with 1t the gradual elimination of
 the good old middle class. the pro-
 lessor declared in a 'ecent address
 on this subject. and this in any
 country is a sure sign of decay.
 There is grave doubt" the speaker
 continued, whether people really gains any profit when millions of money begin to pour into the coun- cry. Experience, past as well as present. shows that wealth is sud denly increased it brings endless new needs. Luxuries are demanded, lass:tude sets in, and the interest .n work and production fails off
 Women begin to avoid maternity All of these processes, beginning in the middle and upper classes grad ually work downward and in time destroy the race. Thus they are as much menace to a country as a powerful political enemy"
 The professor approves of birth control, however, especially among the less desirable elements of a eountry's population, and he believes that the reproduction of a race sh9uld be limited, as far as possible. to those who are "weu-born". He is stoutly opposed to the mixing of races, and gives this as one of the reasons why population in larger cities tend to degenerate, except in So far as raciauy replenished from the country districts.
 Europe is decaying. not only as a result of political cataclysms, but also because of a misconception of racial hygiene, and failure to counteract the forces of degenera- tion. A strong middle class Is nee essary for the racial health of a people. Increasing industry and trade make it possible to feed a larger population, but at the same time brings about a serious change in the structure of society. The old middle class decays and finally dis appears. 4 new middle class Is form ed, to be sure, but it is of poorer substance. Meanwhile there is num- erical gain in both the upper and the lower classes, especially the lat ter. In time the working class be- comes the largest, and underneath this comes a layer of human trash"
 Just what political measure, if any, should be taken to safeguard racial vigor and purity Professor Lundborg does not suggest. saying hat such discussion would naturally fall outside the province of scient- st.

NO concession for the ownership of the important iron and coal mines and factories in the Kuzbaz basin of Siberia has been granted to the group of Americans and Russian Americans who came from the Uui- ted States to found an autonomous colony in Siberia.
