R. A. Nestos’ inaugural address is a frank premise to reduce the cost of state government in North Dakota insofar as it is within his power. Responsibility has been. so, widely distributed over the state administration that no one official with- out the cooperation of the entire executive branch of the state government can effect any great eco- nomies. If there are.to be excessive bond issues for speculative enterprises in the name of industrial progran ¢North ‘Dakota is in for more taxes. Lopping off a stenographer here .and eliminating 2 doorkeeper or janitor there will not go to the reot of the extravagance of state government. The cost of so called expert advice, special ex- aminations and techincal surveys saps the rev- enues more than the petty crowd of pot hunters that cling like so:many barnacles to the ship of Daketa maintains a department. known as State Examiner. It costs the state no small amount to support this cffice which if efficient would be able to detect leaks in public expendi- tures without calling in outside accountants at a fabulous expenditure. If the cost of various examinations by private accounting firms were investigated over a period of ten years in North Dakota, the sum total would stagger the taxpayers. Much of the money was Spent ‘needlessly for none of the recommenda- tions seem to have been followed and the leaks grow in volume regardless of the expert advice. : Governor Nestos can establish a State Exam- iner’s office that will function as it should and save the state the additional cost of high priced experts. If extra assistance ‘is necessary there are men in the state possessed of common busi- ness sense who can go over the books and at a yeasonable charge give the simple remedy ,to ef- fect economy in the disbursement of public furids. “North Dakota has been “experted” to death during the last five years. Specialists in all sorts of, governmental theories have fattened at the public crib. Governor Nestos can do much: by getting the regular force to work upon some .of the problems that the experts have fallen: dowi: upon. There are plenty of good men in the rank and file of the clerical force who if given a chance will dig up more that is wrong in the handling’ of the state’s business than all the $50 a day experts} combined. 14 Governor Nestos put his finger on the real rea- son of the high cost of government when he al- luded to state ownership. Elected on a program that promised going through with the Grand Forks mill and elevator, he frankly stated that Meh finish that project. Although The-Tri- biine has never felt that the mandate was as|combat, were frequent and insistent moths ag b out openly and state his determination ‘to, finish, the white elephant and seek some way out‘ that will not be too costly to the taxpayers of the! state. male és In pledging ‘his adp\inistration to the comple- tion of the mill, he frankly states that he is op- posed to state ownership and believes that the real solution of the marketing problems of. the farmer. is in cooperative effort of the farmers! themselves unaided by unfair state subsidies that! must be paid by all the. taxpayers whether they | benefit directly or not. This has always been The: Tribune’s contention. Friend or foe who heard the address must have} been impressed with its frankness. The enthusi- - asm of the inaugural is over, but the promises | made are still fresh in the minds of the people.} Those pledges must be performed more rigidly than any ever made in the history of North Da-. kota. A recall election imposes obligations un- like those that any other kind of an election im- poses. And what is more, the people are expect- ing results and will be content with nothing less than honest service and an, end -of socialistic] vagaries. | i i | { CONTEST DECISION. _ *Na, serious minded person expected any ‘other | decisionsin. the contest case engineered by a group of taxpayefS:<.There was little fear of the result, | but the fact tlatisuch a futile case was ever started remains’more;or less a mystery.

D,, Nov., 25.—The boy }owner of a successful agricultural school problem project is best pro- ;Moter of 4 new and advaneed system 1of agriculture, Matt Saari, principal nd director of agriculture at Velva, old the Agriculture Section, of the North Dakota State Teachers’ Asso- ciation at its Inal meeting here Wed- ;nesday. Mr. Saari’s subject was |“Home Projects Adapted to North Da- kota Farming.” “In order ‘to determine what proj- $ are suitable to the agriculture of North ‘Dakota or any other state, it }is\ necessary to analyze the factors fentering into the project problem. {These main factors are: | The school. The pupil. ‘The pupil's parents. The agricultural Instructor or proj- ct supervisor. The community. “The school is an institution that jis supported by the people, as we all ‘Know, and because the tax payers: us- (ually, insist upon seeing tangible re- the expenditure of their mgney, the home project if properly sc and administered, hecomes ne. of the most tetling arguments why the schocl should have more sup- ;port. Therefore the kind of a proj- tect to be promoted should be such ;Uhat its results can be seen by thi patrons of the school. 8 “The pupil is in our hands to re- ‘ceive training. It is up to us to give |him, through practical experience sci- jentific knowledge regarding the £ci- rence and business. of agriculture. !Furthermore, we must make a desir- jablze citizen. out of him and in order {to do this, we must teach him lessons jof. industry, thrift, responsibility, jDroperty ownership. etc. We must not lose sight of. the fact. that he might not become a farmer when he rows up and so the project should be {such that it will prepare him in some |way for other occupations as well as that of farming. “Very often students have chances to: work during the summer vacations and) in order to preclude the possibil- ity of their leaving the project, the project should he so large that it will provide. profitable | employment for the whole season. There is'no rea- son why the project should not be large enough to provide the’ student wages for his work. If the project is not a paying proposition’ financially: there is usually noexcuse for:any ag- ricultural man ‘to expect: his-sttidents to spend his time upon it. It is very hard to command. sufficiently the in- terest. of ‘the ‘students: for. best ‘final results if the (project is so’small that the: student is not vitally concerned with the possible profit or loss.. In order to secure the best work out of the student, therefore, he should take up.a project that will tie him down pretty well for the summer and give him: real experience and work. “The interest and cooperation of the students parents must be enlisted if the student ‘is to have the support that he needs. The project, therefore, should be big enough to catch the in- terest of the parents. If this is done, t the work and so they too receive the benefits of a well administered job. This gives the agricultural man a chance to show the patrons of the school that the schoo] is promoting a real business proposition and not a play affair that may amount to little or nothing in the end. List of Projects. “It is quite hard to recommend any set list of projects that are suitable to. North Dakota farming. Conditions vary so much in different localities and different parts of the state*that it would: not be wise to say definitely that this projector that is a good one a HAWS ‘WHAT CAN O CONTACT WITH HAWS HAW-——~ NORY 'MAIN FACTORS ANALYZED. the parents will become tied up in |% for North Dakota. “Dr. A. V. Storm, in his new book on how to teach agri- culture, gives a long list of projects including potato growing, grain grow- ing, poultry, livestock,’ dairying, ‘soils |and farm management and many oth- ers. Perhaps it would be best to say that any agricultural man can deter- mine for himself what projects should be chosen after he has made a careful analysis of the situation in his com- munity. If he thinks that some new crop should be introduced, that would in some measure at least determine the kind of project that would be timely. If he wishes to show his com- munity that there is profit in poultry, that would affect his choice. The na- ture of the pupils and the parents would have much to do ‘with the choice of a project. “Our community has had .six crop failures ‘and because grain has been the chief crop around ‘Velva we de- cided to promote the growing of cul- tivated crops such as corn and po- tatoes, Realizing that we should not divide ‘our. attention ‘between too ‘many lines’ of work, we \decided to stress the growing of potatoes in or— der that a good showing might be made in that line if in nothing else. We talked six of our’ best boys into planting potatoes. Two boys put in ten acres apiece, another five and the rest about ’ thrée acres apiece. Superintendent Bradley planted 12 acres and I put in about Ee We made ‘somé big threats of buying new cars with the’ money from''bur. pota- toes and aroused a great deal of ‘at- tention and laughter by our remarks. No doubt’ our’ potato projects. were well advertised by those who have, tried hard to come out even on their large farms and such ‘individuals were many. When‘ the hot winds came. grain, of course, withered away and many faramers told me confidentially that it would not take midhy: days’ be- fore spuds would be a total ‘loss. As it happened, rains came’ along ‘later in the summer and_so our potatoes started again and brought in better returns than any of the other crops pianted in that neighborhood. One of our boys’ harvested 850 bushels alone and according to present prices made a.clear profit of over $500.00. The other. boys also harvested ‘fairly good yields of potatoes and it did not take much intelligence for any. one to see that our .projects secured: those ex- tremely attractive results, those dol- lars and cents that we all hear about, so much but seldom see.’ We have not had time to talk potatoes ‘for next Year but there are many. farmers who have already provided enough “seed to plant from ten to forty acres. Profit of te “When a boy makes a profit of $500 from a ten acre field of potatoes while hig father makes minus $500 ona: sec- tion of wheat, there are many parties who are going to doa good deal of thinking ,while the*kid goes on ‘tell- ing the world how. {twas ‘done.’ That boy has fold his story to so many that Tbelieve the school board or the ‘state extension division should pay hin a {a good. bonus for the good he has ac- ‘complished. 1 will admit that I-could not ‘go into that neighborhood and make the business of growing pota- toes look so attractive to farmers as that boy has ‘done. No wonder that: all’ of hig; uncles which are four in number’ ahd the fathter across the road and a few other farmers: to the north and south and east and west ot his place are planting potatoes next ear. “The total, profits from our :proj- ects have-not been computed yet: but there is every reason to ‘believe that they will reach $2,000.00 and if pota- to prices go up, it might: reach: the $2,500.00 mark. “Besides the potato projects, we -had one twelve acre wheat project, sweet ccrn and others. The parents were very vitally concerned with the re- sults and it, was through their’ help mostly, that ‘the boyg mide the réc- ords. One boy. who pldiited ten ‘acres ‘ of potatoes did not receive sufficient backing from his father and did. not, secure suclt attractive results but as his. father recognizes -hig error now, there is every reason to believe that ‘he will be one cf our best support- ers next. spring when the boy plants twenty acres of potatoes as is his in— tention now? i “Our result¥’show up mostly in ‘po- tatoes but'if ‘we can show ‘the ‘com: munity that‘we can make gibi in tha particular project, it has been pre— pared for work along ‘other. lines.” Foreign Customs.
