sci, was fined $33, of which amount
$25 was for reckless driving, IS for
having no lights on his machine,
and SO costs. Cohen was arrested
by officers Carl Monroe and Albert
Mcdonald, and his attitude in court
last night was far different from
that displayed at the morning ses-
sion. At that time he was defiant
and intimated that his case would
be fixed" lie also told the police
men at the time of his arrest that
it would do no good to arrest him
because his friends would get him
off. Recorder Pickcrsgill challenged
him to bring on his friends and see
what good it would do him. Last

charges made against him and
meekly paid his fine after a severe
reprimand by the court.

me& rs Of proving that he had been
drunk while driving the car. because

las, 900 Families in the
State to Be Kept Warm

f. Z y
The population Of North Dakota
is estimated to be about 725, 600 or,
figuring 5 5persons to q family, this
means 145, 600 families within the
state borders. Within the next 6
weeks the thoughts Of all of them
will be centered on one thing, and
that one thing will be coal and how
and where to get it.
The fact is, the people of this
country, and Of North Dakota have
been waiting SO patiently for the
strike to be settled that they have
forgotten all about the coal that has
not been mined. Most Of the out.
side coal used in North Dakota.

either BY water to Duluth, or BY

Prairie Fire Burns
22O Acres of Wheat
North Of Mcintosh

(By Roger Creek Correspondent
Last Saturday afternoon the com.
'munity was called out to fight q
prairie fire which started at the
railroad track and burned northwest
as far as E. F. Sorg's pasture. It
burned over considerable hay and
pasture land and completely destroy
ed two hundred twenty acres of
wheat for G. P. and Jake Neumiller.
Prairie fires from the r. r. track
are quite common in this vicinity
and until something is done to stop
them farmers and ranchers never
can depend upon their hay crops.

states in 1921 was about $50 mil
lion tons, for the whole year. OF
this total about II million tons are
consumed by the Northwest.
But for 5 precious months of this
year hardly a ton Of coal has been
mined. This total tonnage has
been thereby cut nearly one half,
and this shortage will be carried ov-
er to each section of the Unite d
States. Instead Of having on hand
12,O0O, 600 tons. the Northwest will
have but 100000.
And North Dakota's share Of
this, for her industrial and domes-
tic purposes will be, on paper, about
100000 tons. Already Governor
Nestos is taking steps to procure a
fair share from the United States
fuel administrator, and hopes to be
able to do so. But when the con-
dition Of cars is considered, and the
tie-up Of the railroads on account Of
their strike, the chances Of an ade-
quate supply Of outside coal for this
state offer a serious problem. For
tunately, however, the condition Of
North Dakota is better than that Of
either Minnesota or South Dakota,
for she has her own Ignite coal sup
ply, which in 1920-21 produced
$40, 600 tons Of very good domestic
and power fuel. The organization
Of the Ignite operators Of the state
is . step in the right direction at
this time. To supply 145. 600 fam
lilies alone with coal for the winter
is q Job well worth doing.

$32 per acre-lowest Sc The 1921
yield ranged from 2 to "a bushels
per acre.
Potatoes Show Profit
Potatoes-Were produced on one
farm at average cost of 81 cents pei
bushel. In 1921 farmers averaged
q loss on wheat, some as much as
$1.osa bushel, but a profit on po-
tatoes- few cents to 80 cents a
bushel.
Corn-Acre cost in one county a.
bout SIG.
Simmer, fallowing-Must be des-
tributed to overhead expense or
other crop production. Costs IS to
$40 per acre. If farm is not too
large it il generally possible to rest
the ground by raising corn and po-
tatoes with results just as good, and
these bring in income where others
do not.
Horses 1t is necessary to allow
for investment, depreciation and
feed. The average work horse on a
North Dakota farm gets in onlv a.
bout 80 days work a year and this
brings his labor from so cents to
81 30 a day.
Available records indicate that it
was cheaper to work a horse than a
tractor in. 1921 but these do not
consider that tractor can do more
things and that a man can finish a
job quicker with it..
Cattle Because of a market, de.
crease lin cattle prices between tie
beginning and end Of 1921. only a
few farmers made money with cats
tie. Because Of severe feed condi-
tions many cattle were carried
through the year on low costs
from as low as $40 to $50 per head !.
Income from sale Of dairy products
and beef amounted from a few dol
lars q head to S75 a head per year.
A man can earn from 20 to rs cents
per hour, summer and winter, car
ing for cattle in some cases, In
others, nothing was made.
Diversification Better Risk
Labor Distribution-By includ.
ing raising of other crops and live.
stock with wheat the farmer not on
" eliminates risk but also spreads
his labor and the use Of his work
stock and equipment oyer a greater
number of days thus making for
greater efficiency. a saving Of as
much as 60 cents a day for each
days labor done by horses has been
noted between farm where only
grains were raised and one where
diversificatien and livestock raising
were practiced.

discussion Of the hail insurance
laws. But the more it was discussed
the more the auditors were inclined
to cuss it, and the result was that
no recommendations were made, az
the vote was tied. To make the in.
surance compulsory was not consid.
ed democratic, and 10 make it en-.
tirely optional would kill the thing.
1t was agreed that the farmer should
be protected not only from hail but
from insects, hot winds and other
destroyers. Increasing the flat rate
might inveigle farmers to go the
limit, or it could be made high e.
nough to supplant the indemnity
tax. The final vote was to let the
records stand and pass the buck to
the legislature.
Real Estate Valuation Too High
The afternoon of the last day was
spent in joint meeting with the
state board Of equalization. Gov
ernor Nestos presided and each aud.
itor told him his troubles Eastern
auditors protested against any fur
ther raise in valuations of real es.
tate. Yoar auditor called attention
to the action Of the last years board
which raised town lots As per cent,
which was hardship on owners
who had been assessed at full value.
Also personal property had been re.
duced from 10 to 60 per cent, and
as but one-third Of the land in the
county is taxable the burden Of the
taxes was born BY real estate.
The last evening was spent BY
those auditors interested in Z dis.
cussion Of the seed and feed aid laws,
and resolutions were passed asking
that q larger number of petitioners
be required and the limit placed at
$500 per applicant. AS for the col.
lections, many dark plans were ad.
vanced.

"A Convention that Counts"
Bismarck this week is entertain.
ing the county auditors Of the state.
1t is an unusual convention, and
one that would do the taxpayers
heart good if he could sit through
one of its sessions. The auditors
came to the convention to talk busi-
ness and unlike most conventions
business is being talked. Many
legislative proposals are being de.
veloped through the convention
here. But perhaps more interesting
is the spirit that animates those who
are gathered. The auditors have
worked morning, afternoon and
late into the night and confined
their discussions to the most prac.
tical problems.
1t augurs well for a democratic
form OF government when class Of
