Things look like they did} in 1915 when we had one of the big-| gest crops in the history of the Slope region. “I stood in durum wheat fields on the experiment . farm at Mandan where the tops of the wheat breads came up to my eyes and marquis wheat was breast high,” said Mr. Haw. “The crops are uniformly even} and look ‘to be as good on one fie! as another, no matter whether .the| grain was put in well or was in-| differently farmed. I have | seldom! seen such a splendid looking crop at this stage: of\its development. It looks to me as though some of those fields will go 40 bushels to the acre. While there dees not appear to be any rust in the wheat of the Slope region, it does appear in the valley.”) | A big out-door picnic dinner will be given at the Heart River Luther- an church Sunday morning by the . farmers of the vicinity for the peo- ple of Man@an and the surrounding] country.

National Committee Urges Organizers Undertake Drive (Continued from Page 1) must havé 50,000 members in North! Dakota and that the fee must below enough to makesthis possible. ‘A. G. Townley, outlining the two | plans, said there was a difference of opinion between the national execu-| tive committee and the league state committee but denied that there was any hostility in the attitude of each of them. He asserted that both wege willing to abide by the decision) of the convention. Sees Gains. in Congress Explaining his own work Townley; said that he had undertaken the na- tional organization work, that he ‘ould organize for the league in the southern states in the winter months and in the northern states in the summer months. “He declared that 60 organizers had been “mobi- lized” in Minnesota for organization work, that Minnesota had accepted the national committee’s plan and that organizers could be put in North Daokta,—150 if necessaty—to get the membership. He urged the necessity af trained men for organ- ization work. It was agreed that delegate , should discuss the plans and that later Townley, Lemke, Terhorst an Church should argue for their re spective plans and the delegate would decide. During the progress of the conven- tion there was an outcropping-of the old feeling of hostility, which rose up when the league adopted its plan of autonomy for, North Dakota, when sonie members objected to the so-called autocracy of the national executive committee. These out- bursts were met by other leaguer who emphatically delared that there was no such principle involved. Delegate J. V. D. Sundburg of Ed- dy county was one of those men who saw in the stuation the question of; whether or not the leaguers would surrender their separate state or- ganization» which, he said, “we fought for so long.” He declared! that the interests of North Dakota were paramount with the leaguers and that North Dakota leaguers should not bear the burden of the league in other states. In a statement previously A. C. Townley had said that the greatest gains the league would make on the future was in the national congress and that the organization work of the. league on a rftional basis was therefore doubly important. Aaker Motion Lost H. H. Aaker of Grand Forks, can- didate for Secretary of State in the primary, took the floor and declared that it appeared to him that the question was whether or not the league would give up the plan adopt-| ed at the state convention by which it would govern itself in North Da- kota as a separate unit. Mr. Aaker: said he could see no wisdom in pro- longing the debate and urged a vote on the subject. Mrs. C. A. Fisher of Valley City chairman of the Women’s Nonparti san Clubs, in a pacificspeech which brought cheers for her, declared that it was not a question of dif ference between the national and! state organization, but as to the! best| plan of. organizing effectively, and urged that discussion should con- tinue. The Aaker motion was lost. Necessity of Organization During the discussion it became evident that many Nonpartisans had come to the conclusion that a poli- tical organization was much ‘ the same as a successful business or- ganization—it must have a well-de- fined plan, a responsible head, indi- vidual responsibility all along the line and that it must have money with which to function. A. H.

Just the other day in the ski tourney in Ranier National Park, | NIG RR ee tion it would be found ‘that the suc- cess was duc to one man taking the responsibility for organizing tho county. i The idea was expressed by several speakers: 1, Cooperation between voluntary county committee and the state com- mitee in ‘detailed organization work was a failure, 2. A paid organizer can get more memberships than a:mgn_ working among his neighbors and volunteer- ing his services. 3. The old system of having-a paid county manager responsible for the county was the best method| of getting men to the polly. Why Elections ‘Were Lost ‘The question-as to why the league lost the-recall and primary election was mentioned. Amiong the answers given were these: William Lemke said: it was because recall and twice as’ many did not vote in the primary, election. W.'J. Church said that there were 50,000. less votes cast forthe office of Commissioner of Agricuture and Labor in the }Fimary than in the recall. Av delegate frgm another county said that many farmers remained at home becasue they had distrust of; ithe business’ management of the league. | - Another, taking the ‘samie vein,| said. the accommodation notes wero} a contributing. factor—that promises with regard to reimbursing men had| not been: kept: : “All speakers. were agrced that! thousands of Non}rtisans had not gone to the polls, Af) were: inclined to accept responsibility for‘ this cor: dition upon. themselves’ as: part, of| the league and upon the manage- ment of the league, None were ins} clined to credit the situation to loss! in faith im. the principles. of the league, and most of: them :were en- thusiastic. in declaring their. move-| Ment must go on. ~ ‘ No candidate for office in the fall shad ‘been suggested in an official way, and few names were mentioned even informally in the hotel lobbies, { t TO CAPACITY No Coal, Freighters Engaged in Ore Business Alone Duluth, Minn., July 15.—The short- age of coal which has caused some delay in shipping and which threat- ens to precipitate a wholesale tying up of ships on the Great Lakes had! not’ interfered with movement of ore at the head of the lakes, vessel men declared today. ‘There is still some coal available for shipping at the head of the lakes docks, but only a limited amount is allowea, making it| necessary for vessels to depend on! stocks at lower lake docks for fue! for the trip up the lakes. There are no coal cargoes coming ‘up from the lowex lakes and the freighters are engaged in the ore business aloe, vessel men said. This sends the siips around quicker and the docks are, being pushed to ca- pacity to accommodate the ore car- riers. Ordinarily when freighters bring coal cargoes up the lakes and return with ore, the round trip takes from ten to fifteen days, but run ning light oa the up trip the steam- ers make it in about seven days. “STONE AGE” MURDER BAFFLES (By tho Associated Press) Los Angeles, July 15.—Where was Mrs. Alberta Meadows on the night before she was the victim of what has become known locally as the “stone age murder” because it was accomplished with a hammer and a rock? And where the same night was A, L. Phillips, husband of the woman accused of the crime. These were subjects of inquiry today, ac- cording to announcement by deputy sheriffs working on the case? The coroner announced. the inquest over Mrs. Meadows’ body would be} held Monday. Phillips has been detained as a material witness. W. I. Traeger, sheriff, now in Tuc- son, is expecting to bring Mrs. Phillips back with him. Phillips is not un- der arrest but deputy sheriffs have been detailed to remain with him constantly.

NEFFS 114 4th St. DAIRYING IS. PROFITABLE Last week we referred to the fact that farmers, just like all manu- facturers, have to address themselves to the problem* of “finishing” their products, and we pointed out that DAIRYING is the most profit- able kind of farming the world knows anything about and lends itself easily to the job of heing “finished” right on the farm. Let us tell you what happened in Todd County, a small county of 28 townships in’central Minnesota, Up to 1900 the county was almost exclusively a grain raising county. Farmers were not prosperous. Crops were not certain because they were at the mercy of the elements and the farmer has no control over the elements. The best farm in the county could have been bought for from fifty to sixty dollars per acre. There were three banks in the entire county and: their total deposits were $164,660.00. The country had been farmed for more than forty years. It wus not a new or a| frontier county.’ Its failuré to prosper was due to the fact that agri- culture was-on the wrong basis—the farmers were trying to produce. and:sell “raw material” and, like the producers of raw material gen- erally, they were not getting anywhere. “ In 1900 the change to dairying began. “Co-operative creameries were organized. Herds were improved along dairy lines and gradually | the production of butterfat became the chief activity of the farmer.
