Dual Purpose Cow
Treads Middle Path

Dairymen and beef cattle breed
ers might profit by joining forces,
according to some North Dakota
farmers and stock raisers. Out in
the country there is sort Of under
standing that paths Of beef and dairy
cows should never cross, but the two
come together at the market place
where there are consumers bidding
for both steaks and butter, cooled
often in the same ice box, to combine
both milk and beef in one animal.
Beef and dairy cattle are both COM
mon all over the United States, but
leaders have thought it advisable to
chow them under different cxposi-
ton roofs.
The beef cattle men have their
Shorthorns, Herefords, Aberdeen
Angus and Galloways, each carefully
selected and bred for q long period
Of years.
The dairymen have their Ayrshire,
Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ho!stein-
Friesian and Jersey. The dual pur-
pose breeds are not exhibited at the
dairy shows. They have to be shown
with the beef breeds.
Both beef and dairy cattlemen,
however, have been facing . price
situation within recent years where
they could have welcomed an oppor-
tunity to swing over into the other
fellows field and share his profits.
A few months ago farmers who own
ed beef cattle got into the dairy
mems field temporarily. Men who
had never thought of getting revenue
from their cows, except by selling
them for beef or breeding purposes.
began to milk their herds, separating
the milk and selling the cream.
Today lower prices for dairy prod
ucts and higher prices for beef ami
mails make dairying less attractive,
and beef production more attractive.
But changes from one field to the
other cannot always be made over
night by the man who is sticking
strictly to the production Of either
milk or beef.
The dual purpose cow treads the
middle path. She thrives under
conditions in which the specialized
cow would give only fair or meager
returns. Her calves veal - well as
any. Her milk is Is rich and bounti-
full, and when her usefulness is de-

CRUM'S PLANS
BRING SURPRISE
Candidacy For Supreme Court
Bench Causes Mild Sensation
In Legal Circles

Surprise was registered III legal
circles here at the recent announce
ment Of G. l.. Crum, Bismarck at
torney, that he will Be Z candidate
1t the next general election for a
place on the state supreme court
bench.
In view Of the fact that Crum
nad only recently been given a six
aouth suspension from practice IN
connection with bribery case, how
ever. the announcement created a
mild political sensation.
Precedent and the cloak Of aloof.
ness which surrounds their position
have made present members Of the
court reluctant to talk about the
matter. Persons who have discussed
the matter with some Of the court
members, however, say they have
expressed surprise that Crum should
wish to make his suspension a cam
paign issue.
Feel Leniency Was Shown
Placed in the best light possible,
these persons point out, the record
in the Crum case is not one which
the ordinary lawyer would care to
have discussed at length and mem.
bers of the court are known to feel
that they were very lenient with
Crunl in giving him only a suspen-
sion.
One member Of the court is known
to have said that Crum was suspend
ed, rather than permanently dis.
barred, because the court wanted to
give him the benefit of every posi-
BILE doubt which existed. Had the
court accepted the report of the
referees appointed to investigate the
case, it was pointed out, it would
have disbarred him from further
practice. Instead, it is learned on
reliable information. the court de-
eided to order the suspension but
not to write an opinion in the case
since it could not wholly justify its
leniency in the light of the referees
report. The fact that two Of the
three referees were Nonpartisans is
being urged by persons close to the
court as evidence Of the fact that
every effort was made to insure him
. fair hearing. Crum has been &C
tive in Nonpartisan circles ever
since he began the practice of law
In North Dakota, it is said.
