REHABILITATED VETERAN
MANAGES GROUP OF FARMS.

Before the war changed all his
plans, Kenneth w. Green of Mar
mon, North Dakota, was bookkeep-
er earning the usual salary incident
10 that type of work.
When the war came en- he en-
tered the military service of his
country, went overseas, and served
as a private in Company I, 10th In.
fantry. He received severe
wound in his right shoulder joint
with subsequent loss of function.
Being unable to return to his pre-
war occupation he was granted a
course in vocational training by the
U. S. Veterans Bureau. He decided
upon the study of scientific agricul
ture, and being high school grad
uate, entered upon the regular col
lege course at the North Dakots
Agricultural College with the inten.
ton of becoming an instructor in
agriculture or county agent.
Besides doing the regular college
work he did special work, during the
long summer vacations, at the Elk.
pertinent Station and upon a farm
to familiarize himself with both the
practical and the research aspects OF
agricultural work.
Upon receiving his degree in June
1928, Green accepted the position
of manager of 'The Cavalier Farms
at Langdon, North Dakota. These
are a group of thirteen farms, EN-
bracing 1850 acres, owned by &
company and leased to tenants to bt

agricultural expert.


This is pioneer work because
Green is one of the very first men
in the whole northwest who special
lied in Farm Management and Ag-
ricultural Economics in college, to
go back to the farm to prove to the
world that a college educated farm
er could do this work better than a
man without such training. 1t is a
notification to land companies, to
banks, to all large holders of farm
estates, that men are being trained
in the North Dakota Agricultural
College to act as experts i'll Agricul-
tural Management just as efficiently
and profitably as in the case now in
other lines of productive industry.
Mr.. Green is making careful
first hand study of all the problems
of Farm Management as developed
on the farms under his control. He
will use these records of actual
farm operations and conditions as
the basis for thesis for the degree
of Master of Science at the North
Dakota Agricultural College.
Mr.. Green is also pioneering in
establishing professional farm
management service similar to the
services now offered to clients by
consulting engineers or architec-
tural engineers. The proposed SER
vice is ready to act as the farm
owners representative, Or to form
complete farm organization for
the owner, or to establish a system
of farm accounting, or to act as
Supervisor-Manager or Operator
Manager of farms.
Successful farming demands clear
business organization and manage
ment for the efficient use of capital
and labor, and requires good judg-
ment in buying and selling. Here
we find disabled veteran who, be-
cause he was given thorough train
ing under the Veterans Bureau, en-
gagged in a line of work that is con-
genial to him and earning several
times as much as he did before he
entered the army. He is living

All Help Unfortunate

A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds. If a man
loses his cattle or other property he
pours little brown sugar into
piece of colored cloth, ties it up, and
carries one such parcel to each OF
his friends and acquaintances. In
turn he is presented, according to cir
cumstanees, with COW or sheep or
sum of money.

 THE "OLD" and THE "NEW" We connect that which we call "Old" with the "Dead;" and that which we call "New," with "Life;" one a calm puiseless silence; that once thrilled with red blood and vigor; helplessly surrendering its vitality to fixed laws; while the "New," and living entity, turns its face resolutely and smilingly to the rising sun of the New Born Year; and the coming years; regardless of the "Old" dead years, that have passed; encompassed with its sor- rows and disappointments, and its success or failures. The years, the many "old" years, that have died dike the ffail bodies of men, calmly fallen to sleep. Yet the spirit that lived through the changes of the past, survives these cold, "Old" dead years, and through faith and hope, anchors to the New Year, and the coming years, all that is vital and worthy to live; and Birmingham, and all who pin their faith to her power of accom- plishment, and future, may look this January l, 1924, in the face with confidence; that never has disappointed, those who labored through the passing years, with an abiding faith, that all that is good, and all that is best, will survive.
