fi /; ii ie 5 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18 ADVISES CUTIN THE ACREAGE SOWNT0 WHEAT Rex Willard Talks To Farmers at The Tri-State Grain Growers’ Convention FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING g Farmers Can. Help Readjust Themselves To The Condi- | tions Now Existing x Fargo, N, D., Jan, -18—Declaring that prices will not return to normal | for several years at least, Rex E. Winlard, farm economist of the North | Dakota Agricultura] COllege, today suggested to the Tri-State Grain Growers convention, in session here, that diversitied farming, with an at- tendent cur in the acreage sown to} wheat, would hcip the farmers read-|. just themselves to present conditions. “During each war in the history; of this country,” Mr Willard _ said, | “prices ha¥e auvanced from 100 per cent to 150 per cent. The advance in} prices of farm products has been more | rapid than the advance of other com- | modities and likewise the drop in farm | prices has been more rapid tnan other | products. Following tne civil war, more than a dozen years were requir- ed'to get back to normal and the presengl indications from the price trend is that several’ years will be re- quired to get back to normal. “Yhe first and probably the most important question that is in the minds of the farmers at this time is that relating to prices,” Mf. Willard said. “It makes no difference in terms of dollars whether the price of any individual conimodity is high or low if the relative btying power of that commodity is # ‘ an equality with that of other comfhédities, that is:to say of the normal ‘price of wheat-is ‘$1 per bushel and this bushel of wheat will buy the same amwunt of other pro- ducts when the price of wheat is $1.50, relatively the prices are the same.” High Point Reached in 1920 After declaring that there was a marked difference in the rapidity with which’ prices advanced and dropped off, Mr. Willard declared that the high points for all products was reached in the middle of 1920, but pointed out that the price of farm products was relatively lower and has continued ye- latively lower. “Clothes and furnishings, liniber and building ma- terials and some other grpups of pro- ducts advanced far in excess of farm products, or above the average of all the commediti and the prices of these materials continue to be far above the average, cloths and cloth- ing now being approximately 85 per cent above normal, building materials 97 per cent and household furnishings 118 per cent,-while farm prices are only slightly above the 1913 level,” he said. f Bi ‘He gave two reasons for the rapid advance of farm products after the outbreak of the World War ahead of all other commicdities and their equal- ly rapid decline. Whe first, he said, was that primary requirement of the war period was food and in face of the consequent heavy demand prices of farm products shot up most rapidly and fell most rapidly when this suy port was withdrawn. Second, that since the farmers could not regulate their production, within a period of a yean, as other industries, prices nec-| essarily fell off when props of fixed prices were removed and the supply overshadowed the demand. What Caused Prices to Advance “The cause of the advance in prices waa due latgely to the increase in de- | mand,” Mr. ‘Willard said, “and the commodity tHat was most quickly able to contro! its production was the com- modity whieh was able to maintain its price levels the longest. “Cost of gpnoduction studies on North Dakota flarms indicate that a very much greater efficiency and a Jower cost of production are obtained where. diversity of production is fol- - lowed, rather’ than place all of the emphasis on one cnop. Profits were made on diversified farms while se- vere losses were sustained where single enterprises were operated. “What conclusion may we draw from this situation?” he continued. “First, to materially affect the prices farm producion must ,be controlled. With a world surplus of 12 per cent. of wheat, it would seem to be not advisable to plant as large wheat acreage as last year because prices do not remain constant, but continually rise and fall in more or less regular cycles, and it would ap- pear to be the most logical to prepare for the future. “. “In other words, substitute for the | crop of which there is an over supply at the present time other kinds of SOOO BAD BREATH Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tabiets, the sub- stitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.

But it’s all Dan Cupid’s fault, so let’s let him tell about it. Says Dan: watched Irene Galvin rise to fame as a musical comedy*star.

BUILDS —-GYMNASIUMIN i Crosby Students and Carpenters Work Hand in Hand To Make Record Time Crosby, N. D., Jan. 18.—The Crosby | High school has set an unusual rec- ord in building a gymnasium in three weeks. The schools had been rent- ing halls down town for gymnasium | work and games and had found the | conditions rather unsatisfactory. This jyear no place was found fpr rent at a reasonable price that could be made ‘available for the needs of the schools. | The first of December, the plan was | projected-to put amaddition to one of | the gtade school buildings. “Local carpenters and High School students completed the building so it Was ready jfor use‘with the beginning of the present school term. The total cost 'has. been approximately $2,000. | The building was a big unity en- {deavor. A number of citizens volun- |teered their labor. The yarious mem- bers of the school board gave their \teams and services and the gymnasium {is a community center.

The state has used only two of its previous challenges and the defense has used a like number of its twenty challenges. State’s Attorney Green said today that he expected to place the father of the murdered girl on the stand as one of the first witnesses. : Attorney in Case, The attorneys.for the defense are W. H. Barnett of& Fargo, Clair Brick- ner of Fargo, an! W. H. Swenson of Devils Lake, judge of the Ramsey county court. A, P. Paulson of -Val- ley City is with the attorneys for the defense assisting in the selection of the jury’ and may remain with the defense throughout the eitire trial. State’s Attorney Wm. C. Green, of Fargo, is being assisted in the prose- cution by State’s Attorney L. 8. B. Ritchie, of Barnes county. Questions by the defense put to the’ jurors asked particularly as to the juror’s family. Did he have any murdered girl and if so wold this create a prejudice in his mind against the accused that testimony could not) change? Each juror was also asked what papers he had read at the time of the murder and also if -he “had read papers giving details of the kill- ing after the state had accused Gum-|fntended to enable Sweden not only to run its trains with electric power |. mer of the crime. i Prejudice, State’s Question. The prosecution invariably had one question: “Have you any prejudice | in your mind that would make you hesitate in bringing in a verdict} against an accused on circumstantial evidence?” To each juror Attorney Green put the question as to whether they fully understood the difference between circumstantial evidence and direct evidence. If the juror was con- yinced that he had no prejudice| against circumstantial evidence, the state made no objection. When court adjourned last night 16 men were in the jury box temporarily passed, fout of whom have been challenged but which four has not yet heen given out.

WAS WARM MEMBER OF THE UNIVERSE, °24 | i 1380 Degrees of Excess | | High Temperature Irena ER | The people of North Dakota are in| j'They owe the particular but unknown | ‘region’ something like 1,380 degrees of | high temperature which this state ab- {sorbed last year in excess of the usual ! jheat average. i ‘excess heat of 1921 has been returned | ‘or at least North Dakota has not ‘had | {abnormally cold weather to counter-| balance the heat of a year ago. All} ithis goes ‘to show that the year 1921 allowed North Dakota to be ore of the warm members of the universe. The average. daily temperature in North Dakota, according to Mr. O. W.; Roberts of the North Dakota Weather | Bureau is about 40 degrees. For. the; last year the average for each day as- cended until it was an indefinite frac- tion or two above 44 degrees. The warm’ open winter of a year ago ac- counts for apart of the. excess heat, | andia week or two in the summer add- ed the rest. October managed man- fully in an attempt to swing the state | back toward a temperate normal, but} failed, and the heat record went on to| the end of the year with a total ex-/ cess heat. record of close to 1,400 de-| srpes. ut one variation from ordinary has | occurred since October, according to Mr, Roberts and that is an unusual amount of snowfall for this state up ‘to the present time. The local weath- er observer does not want to be quoted | ag saying that he suspected that a Wisconsin or Minnesota snowstorm had wandered out of its way and spent itself on the Dakota Prairies, or even that a mild visitation from his native | Iowa had foNowed him up here, but he admits that up to the middle of Janu- ary, North Dakota had gotten more} snow than it is accustomed to. He considers this excess of snow as hene- ficial in producing moisture but not the ‘beneficent visitation that a sim- lar amount would be late in the; spring. GERMANY Is: BECOMING DEMOCRATIC Berlin, Jan. 18—Germany is gradu- ally becoming more democratic, say ardent supporters of the republic. They see proof of this in the fact that fermer German aristocrats who ily scandal to have been detected at manual labor and members’ of the highly educated classes who were equally averse to any kind of work with their hands now are not only! willing to work when they have- to but they take to it from choice. Among 80 students recently enroll- ed in a school which teaches various ble families or sons of fathers who formerly never would have consent- ed to see an offspring engaged in such! trades or in any work. In all these occupations the, student | must go through a severe apprentice- | ship, after Which he is permitted to Join a labor union and work for | union wages. Considerable. satisfaction is mani- fest in republican quarters over this | evidence of the change which is tak-| ing place in Germany. | Sweden To Electrify 's Industrial Plants| _Stockholm, Jan. ,18—The first sec- | tion of a high power electric line} which is designed to pass through the | center of Sweden from north to| south has just been completed and is! now in operation. 4 The Section connects the high pow-! er electric station at Trollhaettan Falls, in central Sweden, to the city} of Vaesteraos, one of Sweden’s most important manufacturing centers. It cost more than 10,000,000 kroner (about $2,500,000). The large waterfalls of North and Central Sweden will be utilizd to pro- vide the power for the great Central power line when completed. This is} but also to electrify the big indus- trial plants of the country. It is expected in that way to great- ly decrease if not entirely to elimin- ate the use of coal.
