MANY FORWARD STEPS TAKEN DURING
PAST YEAR in The BISMARCK LIBRARY

The Bismarck Public Library has
much to be proud Of as it looks over
its past achievements, and even more
to nok forward to as it presses
ahead to a greater opportunity. Dur
ing the year just closing number
of forward steps have been taken. For
the first time in it's history, financial
support has been adequate to provide
generous supply of new books.
In. the four months since September
/. 528 new books have been put on to
the shelves, 3O6 of which were adult
and 222 juvenile. More new ones are
on hand at present, ready to be cata-
logged and made available as fast as
possible. OF course, meanwhile, older
books have worn out and therefore
been withdrawn so that thesnets gain
10 not material. There are approx
mately 5000 volumes in the library
at present, although most Of the chill
dren's books are in such condition
that they must be withdrawn as soon
8 there are others to replace them.

N. D. OFFERS MORE INDUCEMENTS TO
SETTLER THAN ANY OTHER IN UNION,
SAYS COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

/ for starch factories. We have sea-
sons at rare intervals when AN early
cold spell will frost potatoes in the
ground IL these could be used with
in Il reasonable time, the full Naiud
of the potato could be realized. But
to attempt to winter potatoes sight
~ frosted is sorry business. There
are some very large potato districts
already developed in this state and
to safeguard against losses l:om
these occasional early frosts it would
seem that starch factories would be
worth while.
"Those who have studied both agri-
cultural and industrial conditions
will agree that North Dakota at this
time offers more inducements to the
settler than any state in the union.
While some states are advertising cX-
tensively certain virtues OF their
states, they always naively omit any
feature Of their state that would be
damaging. For instance, Florida has
conditions that offer Il splendid COM
parison to conditions in North Dak0-
Ia. The department of agriculture Of
Florida has Just issued a new bulletin
on Florida entitled 'All Florida 1t
is Il wonderful exposition OF that
country's resources with autographed
views profusely illustrating it. Such
Il splendid work, costing probably a
dollar or more per volume, would make
quite an impression on one seeking
Il new location. And by the way, Flor
ida has made several such contribu-
tons to immigration literature this
year.
"In all this literature we have
been unable to find a single refer
ence to the mortality figures of Flor
ida and l am quite sure Florida will
never send out any comparative
figures on mortality. In this respect
North Dakota ranks first of all
states in the union in being, accord
ing to the figures in the bureau of
vital statistics at Washington, the
healthiest state in the union. Had
Florida this very desirable asset it
would be emblazoned on every piece
of literature the state would issue.
Cannot Legislate Prices
"While North Dakota depends more
on agriculture than any other state
in the union. we believe little relief
for improved agricultural conditions
will come through legislation. This
Is the largest spring wheat producing
state in the union. A higher price in
wheat means a great deal to the en-
tire state. 1t seems illogical to ex-
pect any legislature can materially,
artificially, raise the price Of wheat
when this country has millions of
bushels of wheat that must be export
ed to find purchaser, thus being
sold on competitive basis with
wheat exported from Argentina, In
dia and other countries growing an
excess Of wheat over home consump-
ton.
1--WE believe there is a great field
in North Dakota for farmers to i'm
prove their farms with trees and
shrubbery thus making them more
attractive, with carefully balanced
farm program, and it is our convic-
ton that the pendulum will soon ma
turally swing in favor Of the farmer"
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1926-12-31

The appreciation Of the public for
it's new books has been apparent in
the increased circulation since they
began appearing. The highest point
of the years circulation came in No
vember, when 1852 books were given
out, 1918 adult, and 7G4 juvenile. The
number Of borrowers at present is
l,7l2 adult. and much smaller num-
Der Of children. Neither the circula-
tion nor the number of borrowers are
what they should be in city Of this
size and rank. according to Miss
Pauline Rich, librarian. Analysis Of
the figures shows that the quality Of
Bismarck's reading as indicated by
its library figures is better than its
quantity, however. OF the 1852
books circulated in November for in
stance, ~ per cent Of the adult cir
culatiOn was non.fiction. OF this q

''AS the New Year dawns theIe is
4 natural tendency to speculate on
whaC It viii BRING forth says }. A.
Kitchen, commi ssioncr OF agriculture
and labor. I'VE find Il great deal Of
presumption and assumption that
North Dakota Is on The Threshold Of
prosperous conditions la this state
at Ibis time we have one industry,
farming or agfculture.
Il am sure all who scan these line S
are so well vcrsed in the geography
and geology of the state it seems al
most needless to state that, with
probably $4,000 square miles under
laid with Ignite coal, sometime in the
future the mining of this coal will
prove 4 vast industry. Current events
point to the time when this will be Il
reality The Hughes power plant at
Beulah and the Ottertall power plant
at Washburn are undoubtedly the
forerunners of other extensive power
industries where Ignite Will be con-
verted into electricity and the cleo
tric current conducted by high power
lines to be utilized many miles away.
This will offer inducements for man
ufacturing enterprises to come into
North Dakota to avail themselves of
this cheap power.
Agriculture Is Basic Industry
so it is not beyond sound reason
ing to assume that North Dakota will
nave two other ma jor industries soon,
mining and manufacturing. But as
agriculture is practically all we have
at this time, for the present day and
for the present outlook we have to
realize the dependability Of the sue
cess and prosperity of the people of
the state on the success and prosper
ity of farming. We have to admit,
with such vast eXpanses OF coal, the
probability of other minerals and oil
in North Dakota. We can conceive
of countrywide interest in North Da-
kota should oil be discovered, thing
devoutly to be wished.
'In the utilization of Ignite coal
should new method be perfected
for burning this coal, such as dehy-
drafting or pulvcrizing the coal and
blowing into a furnace, it would un-
doubtedly stimulate mining to a
great extent. We have to admit that,
from the results of the large eXpen-
ditures in testing the briquctting
possibilities of Ignite coal together
with the briquetting plants that have
been established and proved unsuc-
cessful, and with the findings Of the
School of Mines in this respect, to.
rether with the fact Of the low bind
ing and by-proGuct percentage, it is
our opinion briquetting will not prove
feasible. A very important discovery
in this connection is the process of
extracting a furniture and wood stain
from North Dakota Ignite by Prof.
Dove. This has been developed to
the extent that it is commercially
profitable.
New Lines Of Farming
with recent experiments in the
state it is apparent there will be a
large development in farming in North
Dakota along lines such as fur farm
ing, sugar beet production, the con-
tinued development in dairying, and
the probability of raising potatoes

For decades we have been misrepre-

poses.
Permit me, however, to appeal to
