time this year, according to 3. n.

Although the Grand Forks Fair III
still five weeks off, entries are al
ready being made in various depart
ments, and the number of inquiries
being received by Secretary E. r..
Montgomery surpass in greatness any
record made this early in previous
years. Three herds of cattle have SO
far been entered; a full herd of Pol
led Angus by Franklin Brothers Of
Emerald, N. D.; thirteen Herefords
by W. II. Ph1pps Of Atwater, Mimi,
and twenty-five Aberdeen Angus by

And not only in the live stock de-
partments are the early entries being
made; the same thing is true of the
other agricultural departments, and
the women's department., the junior
department., and the racing and spec
ial events.
The interest and speed with which
youngsters are enrolling for the big
encampment for Boys and Girls Club
Members speak of the Importance of
the Grand Forks Fair to these wide
awake bundles of enthusiasm.

ma Sydney Anderson, representative
from Minnesota. This act provides for
the making Of five year loans, the
principal To be repaid in partial pay
ments. These loans will be handled by
existing commercial banks, to give
the necessary local attention, but the
paper will be rediscountable thru the
federal farm land banks: The interest
rate would be set and the local banks
would be allowed a margin Of one per-
cent on which to operate. North Dako-
ia, I Believe, will benefit more than
any other state if this act is put into
operation. i

SPECIAL CREDIT NEEDED b -.
IN MIXED CROP FARMING

That the farmers Of North Dakota
r today facing a transition from a
one-crop system to a several crop
system of farming are in need of q
special type of credit involving loans
for a period Of five years with a pro-
vision for partial payments no princi-
pal was the statement of President
John Lee Coulter of theS North Dako-.
ia Agricultural College, who spoke
at the statewide livestock meeting at
Cooperstown Saturday afternoon,
June "a on agricultural finance.
Zone crop farming calls for one
year thinking, and one-year thinking
results in one-year financing" said
DIR. Coulter. "A mixed cropping sys-
tenn calls for at least five-year think
ing and five year financing. Farmers
of Wisconsin and Minnesota have
made the transition from the one-coop
system to the mixed crop system, and
therefore have no special problem OF
finance facing them at this time.
North Dakota farmers are just begin-
ming this transition, and a special
type Of credit is necessary to make
this change as rapidly and as eff
GENTLY as possible.
IF a farmer is going to begin di-
versifying, he does not need enough
money to buy q carload Of hogs or
cattle. He must build fences, raise
corn and other feed crops, buy mach
merry for handling these crops, posi-
bly, erect q silo and build q barn.
These activities cannot not be fl
nanced With the returns from Z crop
planted, harvested and marketed in q
period Of half q year. With mixed
farming system however, the increase
from the. stock, milk, eggs, butter,
wool and other products will pay the
interest for the first year or 50 and
then payments can be started on the
principal and on the whole debt
cleaned up at the end Of the five year
period with Just ordinary luck.
IA present we have Me long time
mortgage Of 20 years Of more dura-
ton and the short time financing Of 4
year OF less to handle the crop, but
there is ndeinte1inediate form OF cred
Hit 10 meet the special need of the
times. a bill to accomplish this very
purpose have just been introduced in
Eto the house by The joint agricultural
commission at Washington Chair

BUYERS RETURN
MARKET IMPROVES

Fargo, June 20, 1922-After an alb
sence of more than two years due to
the stagnation in The wool market,
wool buyers are once more operating
in the state, and a large proportion of
the spring clip in the Red River Val
ley counties has been purchased by
local and outside buyers at prices
ranging from % to 81 cents per ID.
During the two years that the local
and outside buyers refused to pur-
chase any wool, most of the farmers
in these counties marketed thru the
North Dakota wool pool at Fargo, re-
ceiving prices ranging from 10 to Is
cents per pound net, where otherwise
they would have had a hard time get
ting anything for their wool in most
instances.
. Prices at Boston, Mass, Saturday
June 10 would have .. warranted the
payment of 81 cents per pound on the
general run of good grades of wool
in the eastern part of the state, &C
cording to William Guy, secretary
manager of the wool pool at Fargo.
The state organization is advancing
Is cents per pound on wool upon ar
rival ait Fargo, making final settle
ment when all the wool in the pool
is sold.
About a car of wool from Pembina
county will be sent to the State pool,
according to County Agent E. G. Par
izek. Wool from the Agricultural
farm and the Williston sub-station has
been shipped to the pool All ship
ments from the three counties will be
by local freight, and no carload ship
ments will be made. Wool intended
for the state pool should be consigned
to the Northwestern Warehouse and
Sales Pavilion, Fargo, N. d. ~.

Vanishing Languages.

Nowhere in America has there been
such a diversity of Indian languages
u in California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Several
Of them are known only by five or
six, and others only by twenty or
thirty living persons, and hardly
gear passes without some dialect, or
wen language, ceasing to exist
through the death of the last indi-
vidual able to speak it. Efforts are
being made to record all these lam
guages for tie sake Of the light they
throw On the ancient history Of the
Pacific coas;.-Washington Star.

LENGTH OF THE METER

If, as one authority states with an
expression of establishment, many
authors OF scientific books are igno-
rant OF the fact that the relation be-
tween the meter and the yard is, in
the United States, fixed by law.
then it is probable that many other
persons are similarly ignorant. The
legal length of the meter in this
country is 39.37 inches. In Eng
land it is 39.37O113 inches. Ap-
parently our lawmakers thought
that ten-thousandth of an inch
was too insignificant to bother with.
especially when followed by a hun
dred-thousandth and even another
figure representing millionths.-

STONE SHIPS

About twenty years ago an Ital.
ian engineer made a boat of artifi.
clal stone, or cement, which excited
much interest. 1t was an excellent
boat and is yet in use. The frame
work of light iron rods was covered
with a metallic trellis and then coats
OF cement were applied inside and
out to form the hull. 1t proved sur
prlslngly resistant to shocks. Since
then the same engineer has con-
structed many more "stone" boats
OF various forms, and among them
barge about 81 feet long and be-
tween II and 10 feet broad, which
Tor some years has been EMPLOYED
for carrying coal in the harbor of
Genoa. He also makes pontoons of
the same material, which have been
used to replace wooden pontoons on
the 20. The material lasts better
even than iron and is not attacked
by sea water.-Washington Star.
