LIBRARY HAS
ACTIVE YEAR
Highest Circulation in Its His.
tory Reached in November,
With 1885 Books

Activities at the Bismarck public
library arrived at . record mark
during the last year when the highest
circulation in the history Of the
library was reached in November.
1927. During that month 4,256 books
were given out, 2,688 adult and 1858
Juvenile.
Since January I, 1927, the library
has had 1,458 books added to the
shelves, about 1868 Of which were
adult and 400 juvenile. There are
approximately $500 volumes in the
entire library at present.
A call for non-fiction has played
an important part in the circulation
this year. During the record month,
November, Is per cent Of the adult
circulation was non-fiction, and
under this classification the largest
proportion was literature, including
drama, essays and poetry. Descend
Ing the scale In the order Of popular
ity, the majority of calls came for
biography, travel, history, useful
arts, religion, fine arts, philosophy
and natural science.
Reference work for high school
students and club women has been
carried on extensively ct the library
during the year. Miss Helen KEN
needy, city librarian, and her assist
ants have given out information and
suggestions for research work ct the
request Of the patrons Of the library.
i has been the policy Of the city
library to purchase new books each
month, both for the adult and juve-
nile departments. The children'a
room is still very much IN need Of
books as many Of the copies are in
such condition that it will be ueces-
sary to withdraw them % soon q
new books are added to replace
them.

enters 1873 with a spirit OF genuine
optimism" the review asserts.
Going into an analysis Of the bal
anced farming trend in North Da-
kota the Greater North Dakota asso-
citation points out that while expan-
sion of diversified farming has taken
place to a remarkable degree, there
has been taking place to almost as
large a degree an increase in the
efficiency in farming. Introduction
Of new machinery and more econom-
ical utilization of land and labor
have lowered costs of production,
have increased the production per
farm and per laborer, and have in
creased the possibilities Of profit.
Available information, it is point
ed out, is that the first combine har-
vester was used in North Dakota in
1925. The following year about 20
were in operation and in 1927 several
hundred. Next year several thou
sand will be used. This machine, it
is claimed, reduces the cost of har-
vesting and threshing from five to
20 cents per bushel. In addition it
lops off the peak demand for labor
which comes during the harvest and
threshing season. This furnishes
another explanation Of the fact that
more intensive agriculture does not
necessarily increase the annual over
head for operation. A large part
Of the $47,778,O0O worth Of dairy
products in the state for 1927 was
the result Of salvaged time.
Increased efficiency in the use Of
land is best illustrated by crop acre.
age statistics. They show in the
face Of the immense increases in
alfalfa, sweet clover, and corn acre.
ages, that there is as much land
planted to wheat today as has ever
been the case in history Of the state.
The increased livestock population
has been supported by making loaf
ing acres work. A specific example
Of this is found in the trend toward
sweet clover pasture. The North
Dakota agricultural college found
that one acre of sweet clover pasture
would support as many head Of live
stock as seven acres Of native prairie
pastures. The present acreage of
sweet clover in the state does the
work Of a million acres or more in
2 fraction of that area.

state as whole.
Diverting from its review of
economic trends to explain how sales
manship has entered into the scheme
OF things in North Dakota agricul-
ture, and how the combination of
research and laboratory work and
craftsmanship is being correlated, the
association explains the work Of its
agricultural development committee
in carrying on promotion campaigns
on state scale.

THE creation Of some correlating
force, having close contact with the
Agricultural College and prepared
to mobilize energy and salesmanship
OF business men and farmers to sell
q detailed balanced farming program

clares. 1.-THE Greater North Dakota
association had its advertising and
immigration work, started with q
view Of speeding up an influx Of
new settlers from higher priced land
areas, we'll organized more than q
year ago when it broadened it's scope
Of activities to include agricultural
development work. It has become q
major activity. It provides every
section Of the state with machinery
for speeding up the type Of farming

In New England States, prices
vary from IS cents a gallon to %
