FARM IMPROVEMENT

4 decrease IS reported in the number Of American
farms. Since 1920 the number has diminished u per
cent.
This is nothing remarkable. It doesn't indicate
any deterioration OF American agriculture. Rather II
means improvement
There is no less acreage under cuitiyalon On the
contrary, there is more acreage. Farms are simply
growing larger And that results from the improve
mGnt of American farm machinery and methods
whereby = given number OF men can operate larger
acreage than they used 10.
The present figures harmonic with those show
inee decrease in the number Of farm workers. B0tn
together show that American farming is becoming
steadily more efficient sooner or later should reap
the fun benefit Of this improvement.

State Pays $5W,OOO
Yearly to N. Y. Bank

A little pasteboard box. delivered
twice each year in July and January
at the state treasurers office, costs
the state Of North Dakota almost
100000 Il year.
In the box arc the coupons careful
~ clipped from North Dakota bonds
held by the National City Bank of
New York, the states largest single
creditor.
These are carefully checked and
cancelled by the treasurer and paid
0utsof funds set aside for that pur-
pose. The amount varies each times,
depending ION ethe amount Of bonds
the New York bank happens to have
on hand. Last month, the coupons
i'm the box cost the state $232,356.25.
Each year. the state pays $780,
vS6.25 interest on real estate bonds
alone. This cost. however. does not
come out Of the state treasury, State
Treasurer c. A. Fisher said, since II
is offset BY mortgages on real
estate. which produce more than
enough interest to meet the coupons
rs they fall due.
After having been paid by the
treasurer, the Cancelled coupons are
turned over to the state auditor
who counts them again and then
gives the treasurer credit for the
disbursement on his books.

The incorporatorS Of this COM

Wallace today in commenting on the
new incorporation. AT first the mcr
were skcptical until several trips
were made to the school of mines at
Grand Forks. When they saw tn.
results obtained in briquetting lig
mite coal. the extraction Of by-prod.

OF experiments in clay, they were
wstonishcd that such naturel re
Sources existed outside Of ccntra
