Nash, of the de- | fense, asked Burns if he had testified | on direct examination that he met Ris- | started the New Salem group of Ho!-; stein. breeders on the road to prosper- | ity. ! It was an inspiring sight as the} more than 100 cars bedecked with all! kinds of banners entered New Salem ! Over the cow on the truck was a great} banner bearing these words: i “Welcome to Our City.” i ' Cows Are Pictured. | Many of the enterprising merchants had painted life size pictures of Hol-| stein cows upon their windows and one| artist had labeled his production “the mortgage lifter.” H Mandan boosters had a band, a serv-' fce,car and a “Red Cross” car man* ned by physicians. The Bismarck boosters under the di-! rection of Burt Finney, president of! the Bismarck Rotary, assisted by Jack! Whitney, Hal Dobler, H. P. Goddard, J. L. Bell and other Rotarians had a ate slogah prépared by the Town) Criera. One of them was: “New Sua-: lem—You Tell 'Em.” I What Was Learned. | The Burleigh county farmers. re-! sponded readily to be guests of the Bismarck Rotary club and it was a profitable day spent on a demonstra- tion of what can be done with good dairy stock in a country that has for many years given up the idea of the one crop—one pay day for the contin- uous revenue producing cattle. . Out of the seventeen breeders who have registered herds ‘under the direc- tion of the agricultural college, only one has a mortgage on his place. Every farm is prosperous, well kept and a paying venture every month in the year. Most of them have electric plants, electric milkers, pit silos and every convenience to cut down the overhead cost of preparation. They are enthusi- astic boosters for the Holstein variety and would not go back to the old days of simply raising wheat and flax for} any price. | One of the monuments of the farmer who was “too proud to put his hands under a cow,” was pointed out to the| members of the party. There is mere- ly an old abandoned grove and a weary stretch of dilapidation. This told elo-| quently of the failure of the man who} wouldn’t “put his hands under a cow.” Tour Well Organized. The tour was well organized from every standpoint. Max Morgan, county agent of Morton, had worked up the junket to demonstrate the value of dairy farms. He turned the leadership over to Prof. Shepperd of the North Da- kota Agricultural college who did so much in getting the circuit started. A; number of supervisors and professors from the A. C. were on the tour and} gave valyable assistance in explaining to the farmers the merits of the vari- ous animals, Programs were placed | in their hands giving in detail the rec- ords of the animals at the various sta-| tions and showing the net profit to the farmer from each animal, At President’s Farm. The first stop was at Pleasant Grove farm, on the edge of New Salem. John Christiansen, the owner, was} spoken of as the patriarch of the cir-| cuit, He came to that section in 1882, | when the Indians roamed the prairie. | In giving his experience to a crowd of; 800 or more that gathered in a grove, about his farm, he said that he hadi tried the single crop plan and for sev-: eral years struggled with debt and! unfavorable conditons, until a few got together and decided to promote the breeding of registered Holstein-Fres- jan cattle. B He told how under the single crop plan it took him several years to pay off a mortgage of $400 and then figures | were given to show the profits each year from his fine herd of Holstein. The facts sunk deep into the many farmers who had just come from their sun-burned fields and were eager to hear what could be done to assure a constant and reasonably sure revenue producer. : What Burleigh Can Do. Burleigh county, it was urged, by the boosters from this section, can build up the same kind of a circult. The topography of this county is much the same as that around New Salem and lends-itself better to cattle rais- ing and milk producing than to rafe-| Four indictments (Continued on Page Five) berg, Weaver, and Feisch in a Cincin- ; nati hotel the morning of the day be- | fore the first game of the series. “Yes,” answered Burns. “Don’t you know those players were; out at Redland field practising at that time?” shouted Nash. “Don’t you know most of the play- | ers went to the races that aiiernoor | and weren't at the hotel,” Nash shout- ed. “I saw them at the hotel,” ‘Burns.

With a fixed increase jof $12,000 in teachers’ salaries |due to a new state law, under which the board has no option, it; ig announced that under present plans. the board will save the! $12,000 in curtailment of other; expenses and not increase the, budget. This is a good begin-' for ning. It represents a determina-! Monday, May 30. tion to cut running expenses} $12,000. Perhaps careful con-, sideration will show that ex-, penses can be cut more than! that. \ The board announces there| will be no building program this) ‘year and repairs will be limited. he example of the city school; board, on which there is one; member who also is a member} of the city commission, and, whose treasurer is a city com-; missioner, is 2 good example. It, should be followed by the tax-) payers when they vote on the question of a city bond issue on! July 26. If this school board, can save $12,000 why cannot the! city save an equal amount to buy} a fire truck, if indeed, a fire truck is needed? If it is wise for the school board to limit its repairs and abandon any building pro- gram to effect economy why, indeed, is it not wise for the | city to follow the same course. The Tribune believes the school board’s announced inten- tion is worthy of ¢ommendation. It is hoped that the intention be- comes a reality.
