' THEY SHOULD DIVERSIFY FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1922 ~ CATRON CLAIMS “SPECIALIZING” FARMERS’ FAULT For 40 Years, N. D. Tillers of the Soil Have Specialized In the Growing of Wheat North Dakpta farmers have been specialists, too long a time, accord- ing to R. G. Catron, deputy commi: sioner of agriculture and labor in di: cussing the interests of diversified farmjng which will be presented to the state during tha week of March 6 to 11. The Farmers’ Institutes, Commis- sioner Joseph A. Kitchen and the mem- bers of the staff outside of Mr. Catron, who. has applied himself assiduously to the interests of diversified farming since the beginnng of the institute season, will add all of their assist- ance to the program of the governor in bringing diversified farming before the people of the state. For almost forty years in North Dakota, according to Mr. Catron, or from the turning of the first furrows in the Red River valley up to a few years ago, the state specialized in the rowing of wheat. That crop still is e only one raised on a number of farms, but the conditions of the last few yeats and the continued decrease in the average number of bushels of wheat raised. per acre, is a warning, suggests Mr. Catron, that North Da- kota's day of farm specialization has passed, that the farmer must oppose the trend of the times and become a ‘specialist iri several branches of agri- cultural knowledge, rather than the one. Mr. Catron, in fact, is somewhat of the opinion that some future genera- tions of North Dakota peoples wil: sometime erect a monument to the present days and the dry years, in ap- preciation of the fact that” present conditions forced the state from its course as an exclusively wheat plant- ing state, this monument to be erected in the same spirit as that in which the cotton planters around one cotton cen~ ter in the south, recently erected a monument to the boll weevin, be- cause it had forced them from cot- ton specialization into general farm- ing. ~ Spe North Daketa farm that is managed so it will have a number of incomes,” is the one that will be on a better financial basis throughout 2 Jong series cf years,” declared Mr. Catron. “The farmer with several in- terests is also able’ to get a hetter distribution of his labor throughout the year and to have machinery and animals, as well as lebor in use and paying a profit instead of remaining idle with interest charges adding to the expense.” In jouking over the North Dakota papers recently, ‘Mr. Catron found ta heading running in one ofthe weekly papers that fitted into the things he tas been ‘attempting to sey to the people of North Dakota through the Farmers Institutes. This headline proclaimed: * * “Plant corn, potatoes, clover and alfalfa; raise hogs, poultry and cat- tle and you will make North Dakota one of the most prosperous states in the Union.” ALL PRINTING BROUGHT UNDER STATE CONTRACT (Continued from Page 1) third class, they took into account |. all of the laws relating to the matter of public printing, and particularly the above mentioned Section 5 of; Chapter 188, which reads as follows: “Sec, 5: ‘The intent of this Act fs to co-ordinate publication of all state legit) roticas, jpubl’patiolys, mreperts and laws of every kind and nature @n- der one supervising head, to, have definite and certain legal newspapers in this state, so that information can be readily secured concerning“any le- gal publication, and to economize’ in the matter of state printitig; and to keep a complete system of, files where Jegal publications of ‘every kind in this state can be readily found. This ‘Act shall receive a liberal construc- tion in order to effectuate the pur- poses and intent th, eof.” Normanden’s Stand Since having .become a contractor for the state printing, The. Norman- den Publishifig Company has learned that the Board of Administration has ‘been publishing jcatalogues, ‘reports and pamphlets, of different kinds, and upon divers su jects, without _mak- ing application fo the State Printing Commission nor in compliance with Chapter 188~Of the Laws of 1919, but that they have advertised for bids and have undertaken to award and have awarded numerous contracts for the printing of reports, catalogues _ and pamphlets, for the several state sti- tutiong, all of which belong to the third class of printing, and belong to the work we have contracted to do, and for which we have furnished bonds; and for which we have gone to considerable expense in anticipation of having this work placed with us, under the terms of our contract. You will take notice that the volume of business the third class of print -ing of which we have beea deprived by the unwarranted action of the Board of Administration’ has caused this compamy great pecuniary loss,| and we feel that in order, to protect ourselves from a continuance of this loss, through being deprived of busi- ness of which w@ are, legally entitled under the contract, that we,must in-| sist on having all of the work of the; third class, published by, and paid for, by the State of North Dakota, awarded; tO our shop, usider the terms of the ccntract now in effect.
