Farmer Puts
Mixed Farming
In New Light

A Ilcttingcr county farmer, in
writing to the state land depart
mcnt, put the practical appli-
cation of Il diversified farming
program in new manner. He
said:
"My cows make the living eX-
pense. The hogs and cattle pay
interest and taxes. The poul-
try provides clothing and incl
dentals. The crops pay off
mortgages and make future i'm
provements."
The farmer, who bought 355
acres of land near Regent in
1919, said he always has paid
interest and taxes promptly, and.
having prospered in the short
time he has been engaged in
farming in North Dakota, plans
to enlarge his operations.

ATTACKS ON
l, TR0TZKY
GROW BITTER
One Of Prime Movers in Soviet
Revolution Is ASsailed in
Many Quarters
HE REMAINS~ SILENT
Is Alone and Broken at Resort
Final Judgment on Him
Comes Later
HE REM4AINS~ SILENT

Moscow. Dec. 23.-(By the A. P)--
Although Trotzky now is out Of the
political arena and far removed from
the bitter party strife here attacks
upon him both from within and from
without the Communist Party con-
tinue increasingly.
No man in America ip public life,
even during the heat Of the bittcrcst
election campaigns, has had to face
such merciless fire and condcmna-
tion as has been directed against
Trotzky for the last six weeks. All
the sins and shortcomings and fail
ures Of the Bolshcviki regime have
been visited upon his head.
Throughout the fuslladc Trotzky
remains silent, alone and broken, in
the resort in the Caucasus, where he
has gone to restore his health. 1t
is inaccurate to say that Trotzky has
been expelled from the Communist
party or banned from office. as for
cign dispatches announced. The pre-
sent campaign against him is con-
fined wholly to. literary politics
which will probably continue until
the Communist party Congress in
March which will pronounce final
judgment on his alleged hcrcsy in
departing from the orthodox Com
munist principles, and violating the
party discipline.
Various Bolshevik leaders have
made known for the first time that
Trotzky rendered his resignation
many times, whenever the central
committee Of the party attempted to
interfere in any branch of his activi.
ties. In no case was this accepted.
Coincidental with discussion Of his
theories and practices of the revolu-
ton, efforts are being made to de-
stroy his personal popularity among
the masses and the Red Army by
making it appear that his part in the
Bolshcvik uphcaval was relatively
minor one. Whatever the outcome of
the controversy the present fight will
not result in an open\split of the
Communist Party, nor is it likely to
go beyond a formal vote censuring
Trotzky at the forthcoming party
conference. Trotzky's friends be-
lieve he will not attempt to estab-
lish faction of his own.

APPLIES TO OTHERS
President Recognizes Action
of Republican Majority in |
Taking Action u

Washington, Dec. 23-(By the A.
PD-President Coolidge through dis.
pensation Of patronage is recognizing
the action of the Republican Senate
Conference in reading out of the par.
ty Senators LaFollette of Wisconsin,
Brookhart of sIowa and Ladd and
Frazier Of North Dakota because Of
their allegiance to the LaFollette
campaign.
The President has never publicly
expressed his views with reference to
the action Of the Senate Republicans.
but it was made known yesterday at
the White House that he is prepared
to take notice of this action when it
comes to making appointments in
North Dakota and Iowa. He already
has refused to recognize in Wisconsin
patronage matters of the ten Repub-
lican house members from that state
who aligned themselves under the
LaFollettc banner. Senator Brook
hart's advice on Iowa appointments
never has been asked to any great
extent. both Presidents Harding and
Coolidge having confined their re-
quest for recommendations to Sena-
tor Cummins and the Republican
house members. Senators Ladd and
Frazier, particularly the former.
were, however, consulted by Presi-
dent Harding and also by Mr.. Cool
idge prior to the November election.
North Dakota patronage recommen-
dations will be in the hands of Re-
representatives. Burtness and Represen-
tative Hall. both Of whom supported
the Coolidge ticket in the campaign,
and National Commttman Harrison
Garnett. 1t is possible that L. B.
Hanna of Fargo, who was the Cool
idge prc-convention campaign manag.
er in that state, also will be consult
ed. Rep Sinclair of the Third North
Dakota District, however, will4be
classed as one of those who forfeit
ed their title to administration @re-
cogniton.

NO DISEASE IN n. ID.

Fargo, Dec. 23.-A careful check
'on poultry shipped out of this state,
through Fargo, has revealed no trace
of epidemic, A. S. Shalk, head Of
the veterinary department or the
State Agricultural College, said to-
day. The department has kept close
watch over shipments going out Of
the state at this point, he said, and
the very few fowls which have APP
pearcd to be i'll were taken to the
college, where it was found they had
ordinary colds or cholera. Mr..
was shown an Associated Press dis
patch from Olympia, Washington,
telling Of an embargo.
1t is believed here that the dis
ease which has. caused cmbargoes to
be put on poultry shipments and upset
the poultry markets is the European
fowl plague which has been discov-
cred in New Jersey and on Long Is
land, Mr.. Shalk said. An opinion re-
ccivcd from the State Livestock San
itary Board confirms this, he said.
There is no such plague in this state
and the embargoes in the East have
been Overdrawn, according to this
|srepOrt. There has even been Il de-
crease in the number of sick fowls
sent from out-statc points to the col
lege for examination, said the college
veterinarian.

Commissioner Harry Thompson, at
the meeting, voted no on the salary
