EXTREMELY BAD MANNERS

The charge often made abroad that
Americans are boorish and ill-mannered,
would seem to find verification in the in
cident at San Francisco last week when
the crew of the German cruiser Karls-
ruhe was "booed" and otherwise insulted
by Americans"
The latter were only about 40 in num-
ber but the officers and men of the
Karlsruhe could hardly be blamed If
they considered their annoyers as repre-
sentatives of the people of the United
States. We hope they didn't and being
men of common sense we doubt very
much that they did.
Opposition to the Nazi form of govern
ment was the reason for the disgraceful
incident Those who do not like the way
Adolph Hitler runs Germany decided to
express their dislike by insulting men
who technically are representatives of
the German government and were here
on friendly visit.
As such they were entitled to every
courtesy Dislike for their government
or the men in control of it had no bus
mess entering into the matter. We can
readily understand what our feeling
would be if crowd of Germans insult
ed our sailors while making a friendly
visit to their country.
Last week there was some cfltlclSm
voiced because the American government
had permitted the visiting German cruis-
er to hold target practice with American
targets towed by American ships. Per-
haps that was carrying hospitality a lit
tie too far, but we believe Americans
would rather have it that way than to
have the rest of the world consider us
discourteous to visiting guests.
We have no knowledge of German Off
cials in this country as yet entering
protest on the incident They would
really be rubbing it in if they fail to take
such action. To protest would be to give
the American government an opportun-
ity officially to disavow the affair. They
will show themselves better hammered
than we are by ignoring the incident en-
tirely.

STOCK POPULATION
OF n. D. DECREASES
Cattle Number 1,157,oO0 Head
Compared to 1885, 900 a
Year Ago
Livestock on Farms In North Dakota
and the United States January
1Q2k

The number of all species Of live
stock on farms In North Dakota on
January 1. OF this year shows de-
crease when compared to the num-
Der year ago, according to the re-
port Of the federal agricultural sta
tistician at Fargo.
The decreases range from one per
cent for horses to 81 per cent for cat
tie, 38 per cent for hogs and 20 per
cent for sheep,
While these figures indicate rela-
lively large decreases for sheep and
cattle the number actually on farms,
IN the case Of sheep. is still above the
five year average I926-l930) while
for cattle the number is only little
below the five year average. Horses
have been steadily declining In num-
hers ever since 1920. but the rate Of
decrease has slowed up The jan
uary farm value per head for horses
shows a slight decrease from a year
ago: sheep values have remained the
same, while cattle and swine values
show considerable increases.
Cattle now number l,l57,000 head,
compared to l,835,0o0 year ago and
to l,75O,oO0 two years ago, The total
value on January 1st is S20,55s,00O
compared to $25235, 900 a year ago.
OF the cattle on farms. $4,000 are
estimated to be cows and heifers two
years old or over kept for milk. This
compares with FOL 900 head a year
ago. The ratio Of milk cows TO all
cattle is considerably higher than a
year ago, indicating that farmers
generally are retaining their best
milk stock.
Sheep on farms now number 744,-
900 compared to 95l 900 year ago
and to 100000 two years ago. The
farm value per head was reported as
unchanged at 1910 for the past two
years. bringing the total value down
from $3,5l2,0O0 to $2.778000. owing to
the decrease in numbers.
The number of swine on farms is
lower than at any time since 1910.
when $4,000 we're reported. The
number at present is estimated to be
269 900 compared to $4,000 a year
ago and to $4,000 two years ago.
While the value per head is consider
ably higher than for either Of the past
two years the total value is down to
$1.44O,oO0 compared to sl,554,000 last
year and to s2.3O8,o0O two years ago.
Horse numbers show only a small
decline and are estimated at $4,000
head compared to SCI 900 last year
and $4,000 head in 1888. The farm
value is placed at $27,574,00O compar-
ed to S2s 1863. 900 a year ago and to
S24 100000 two years ago.
