Campaign Begun For
Cleaner Eggs In N. D.

Poultry and egg dealers Of the state
will make campaign for cleaner eggs
throughout the state this spring, ac-
cording to 0. A. Barton, poultry spe-
cialist of the agricultural college.
This is in line with an attempt to
improve and grade North Dakota eggs
so that they will command better
prices.
The hen is the originator of the
"sealed package, not touched by hu-
man hands" idea, Mr.. Barton explains,
and that is the way she delivers her
product. She seals the egg with a
lubricating fluid when she lays it.
Dampness and filth dissolve the
seal of "bloom" and permit the filth
to soak through the pores and taint
the egg. Washing the egg aggravates
this and dissolves any of the bloom
that may remain, he explains.
Therefore, clean nests should be
provided and the eggs be given a
chance to start on their journey to the
consumer untainted. Dirty eggs do
not keep we'll, are unstable and do
not hatch as well as clean ones, ac-
cording to Mr.. Barton.

taxpayers at Edmore ask that war;
rants to the amount of $4,000 be can

fore Judge Burr Of Rugby. No matter

ed a severe attack Of the flu while

and went to work before fully recover
ing from the disease. This left him
in weakened condition, and he never
really gained his strength after that.
This was the cause of his death at
this time. -

the death Of his father and made hi
home here until late in the fall whel

The convention has demonstrated
again that Townley is still the great
est single influence in the Nonparti-
san league of North Dakota
He saved himself from defeat bv
abandoning his balance of power plan
before the convention actually began,
when it was plain that it's adoption
was hopeless. He thus made the DOM
ination Of the league by the Lieder-
bach element the big issue of the con-
vention instead of the balance. of
power, which he did not deal with at
all in his speech.
The new committee will take charge
almost Immediately according to Mr..
Liederbach, who stated that the pres
ent committee would resign as soon
as it has been relieved of certain fin
ancial obligations.
Courier-News Question
Control of the Courier-News will
remain in the hands of the executive
committee, and will pass automatic.
ally to the new committee as soon as
it takes office, unless legal difficulties
are raised by the present committee.
This is provided for in the contract
under which the paper is at present
operated.
The question of the ownership of
the stock in the paper which has been
big cause of discussion between the
old executive committee and the Ma
tional committee of the league will be
settled after the new committee takes
office.

Fargo on Friday and saturday'of last
week by defeating Egeland by score
of 25 to 10 in the final game at the

ENTIRE GRAIN
GRADING ACT
is DESTROYED

"The entire North Dakota grain
grading act, covering the licensing.
inspecting, and grading of grain, is
destroyed and cannot be cured by any
amendment OF the passage Of any new
law" says Seth w. Richardson. spe-
cial assistant attorney general in the
grain grading case, in an analysis of
the decision cf the supreme court of
the United States, which has just been
submitted on request Of Attorney
General SveinbjoEn johnson.
The law Of 1917 provide! for The
appointment of deputy inspectors and
provided that persons are forbidden
from purchasing, ETC., amy grain with
out a license, unless the grain has
been actually inspected by a deputy.
"These provisions are the most vital
provisions of the act and it seems
clear to me that the same are invalid
under the supreme court decision, V

NOTED farmer
WILL MANAGE
MAHER farm

Chas. Ouradnik, who for some years
past has been engaged in farming near
Burlington, N. D., is expected to ar
rive here within the next few days
to take charge of the large John w.
Maher farm one mile east of Devils
Lake. Mr.. Ouradnik is considered one
of the best farmers in the western
portion of the state, and has not only
kept his own place right up to snuff
at all times, but has encouraged
others to do the same, and spent much
of his time in promoting better and
more modern methods Of getting the
money out of the soil. For time he
was president of the Ward County
Farm Bureau, and resigned this posi-
ton last week before leaving for d..
wills Lake. Ward county loses one Of
it's very best families in his removal
here, while Ramsey county can con-
slider itself very fortunate in his com
ing here.
The Maher farm comprises 800
acres of some of the very best land
to be found in the Lake Region, is all
under high state Of cultivation, and
under Mr.. Ouradnik's management
should prove to be one of the best pay
ing places in the state. About 100
acres of the place are in trees, both
evergreen and deciduous, and the bal
ance has been used for grain and ma
tive hay and pasture. Up to the pres
ent time the place has been used prin-
cipally for mixed farming, but it is
the intention of Mr.. Maher to eventu-
ally working into dairying farming
exclusively. At the present time he
has about 80 head Of high grade milch
COWS and almost an equal number of
calves, and Mr.. Ouradnik is bringing
up pure bred Guernsey bull and al
so number of other cattle with him.
Pure bred cattle will be added to the
herd from time to time until all the
grades are eliminated, and only pure
breds will be raised. Other improve
ments will be made to the place as
occasion demands until Ramsey coun-
ty can boast of one of the best dairy
farms in the northwest.
