The value of mixed farming as compared to a one- crop gamble has been fully illustrated in homely stories of |; success of pioneers in diversification in various sections of North Dakota. There is ample evidence at hand to prove disaster lurks in one-crop farming. The proposed loans up to $1,000,000 will be experimental in the sense that it will be shown whether or not a man may suddenly change from one-crop methods to a diversified basis and succeed. Most of those who have succeeded have “grown into” the changed system. The loans also will be experimental from the stand- point of the ability of outside agency through huge resour- ces to change the course of agriculture to a considerable de- gree in a large section. Carefully handled, as undoubtedly this business will be, it, will provide the greatest and most exacting test ever applied to agriculture in the Northwest. It will necessarily follow that careful records will be kept of the operating of the farmers who desire to accept the loans proffered. It will offer a test of their ability under present conditions and present prices to profit through the methods prescribed, and perhaps to recoup losses of the past. It will bring into action the services of expert agriculturists, for it is only natural that the loan agency will expect the county agents and others who are classed experts to closely follow if not supervise what the agency calls an xperiment. The effect upon the Northwest of the system cannot be estimated or forecast. If the great majority of those accept- ing loans prove conclusively that they can profit under the new System whereas they could not succeed under the old system of grain farming, the record will be so convincing that a metamorphosis over night may be expected in North- western agricultural methods. If the experiment is a fail- ure, the effect will be depressing. In any event, within a rs, the test is likely to be absolute and decisive. Most people who have watched the course of agrarian develop- ment in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana will welcome the new policy of the Agricultural Credit Corporation. It vill meet a pressing need, for there are official records in the state capitol which show that thousands of farmers in various parts of the state expected to go into diversified farming through loans proposed in the Norbeck-Burtness bill. They will welcome such aid from the credit agency. The policy reflects the big vision of the directors of the Agricultural Credit Corporation, their faith in the North- west and their determination to prove that their faith is well founded. | The injur: THE BISMARCK TRIB Comments reproduced Wanted — Another Good Scarecrow ‘ta_this express une. column may or may pot the opjnion of The Trib EDITORIAL REVIEW | ey ry sre pysented here in order th: our readers may have both aide |] of tmportan: being discus the day. ‘There ar a territo dir falsehood False impres- | sions may be created without the of libeling Sx making of statements which are themselves und if the state- ments are embellished with pic tures carefully chosen and suitabl displayed, the result ly tulse dingly injurious. | The Saturday Evening Post ‘his! libeled that section of the north-) west included in the states of North kota, South Dakota pub t Garett in Our Northwest.” Mr. Garett diseu 5s the economic ituation in this section, and de; with many phases of the subject, including the methods employed | in the agricultural industry, pansion of credit, banking method and bank failures, together wi the enterprises, more or less cia in their nature, have been inaugurated, and a large number of which have failed. | The largest picture used with} tue article is a very good one of| i mill and elevator . which Mr. G built and left unfini picture of the Equity packing pla with a statement of 300,000 in seven monti lowed by a choice u pictures of — dilapid abandoned or to be abandoned, and of bank buildings which are most- fated rgo. is assumed that Mr. Garrett] hed to convey the truth to his readers, and he probably had in} mind the fact that the political | regime which started the state mill} and elevator 1 it unfinished. ~ BY GOLLY, \T RAISED i peyenT Rates? & GOOD ON THIS FIELD Fore A LONG Tite a FARMER ‘The otherwise uninformed reader, however, will gain the impression that the plant is still unfinishéd,| whereas for a year it has been grinding and seHing flour up to its capacity of 2,000 barrels a day. ‘Ihe impression left on the reader be home for three days and I'm sure | he will think it’s all right for me to| go when I'm in such safe company.” | So all four of them got into the} tiny car and away it started for the! blue mountains in the distance.

The radio industry is beginning to talk about the desir- ability of “fewer broadcasting stations and better-grade concerts.” It’s a bit early in the game for that. The aver- age radio bug doesn’t want better concerts. What he wants is DISTANCE. In the east the radio bug’s goal ¥s to hear the Pacific Coast. ~ On the Pacific Coast they whirl their di: up eastern stations. F Ninety-nine out of 100 radio bugs would rather “listen in on” China than hear a local concert by the greatest musi- cians that ever lived. This is evidenced by the wide-spread desire to tune out, the local station and get out-of-town stuff. No matter how fine the local program is, the average listener prefers a con- | cert from 1000 or more miles away, even though inferior. s trying to pick All this demonstrates that most people are interested in radio, not for the entertainment that comes flashing through the ether, but because radio is a mysterious invention with unknown and startling sensational possibilities. If you talk by telephone from New York to San Francisco, your voice travels through 740 tons of copper. Isn’t this after all, as remarkable as hearing the same distance through the air? | The answer is that the telephone is an old device, and for, that reason has lost its glamour. We tire quickly of the old. How long until radio also will be “old stuff’? On that un- known date, concerts will be the goal rather than distance reception. | It’s human nature to respond to the lure of the far-away. No matter How beautiful may be the valley we are in, we’re sure that something better lies on the other side of the hills. Accordingly, #he farm boy wants to move to the city. The city boy thinks he would do better’ in a distant com-| munity. As true of men, young and middle-aged, as of boys.

It was founded eight years ago by Rev. Dr. Harry | Marsh Warren. In a sermon he urged people, who intended to commit suicide, to write or visit him first. Gradually a clearing house for misery was built up. League members keep their eyés open for unfortunate in wretched situations that might tempt them to take their lives. Twelve thousand Americans commit suicide a year. Dr. Warren says he finds that a promise to think it over until tomorrow usually gives the despondent a new grip on life. \had died the prince had been very, tions that the extreme is accepted as the usual. 5 The northwest has suffered eco- nomic advet y, and many of its neople have shown political unwis- ‘om. “Credit has been used too freely. banks have been too num- graphs and player pianos is you erous, and weak banks have failed, never have to sit around and beg It is useless to attempt to gloss them to play. i those facts.

Practical Ald by Banks Officials of a large Astoria, Ore- gon, bank are taking an active part in making farming a real business in their community. A group of |dairymen wanted to borrow sutf- ficient money to buy a carload of purebred Guernseys. There were practically no purebred Guernseys in the county. These dairymen had little money so they took the), matter up with this bank. A let ter of credit for $16,000 was given |to them immediately on a joint” | note. | It meant the starting of purebred Guernsey herds in the county and most of the dairymen who purchas- ed the anjmals have sold enough of the offspring to pay for the original | investment. ne of the dairymen says, “Had tle bank not been Lib- eral in making this loan, the orig- inal importation could not have been made and the county would not have at this time the reputa- tion it now has as one of the Guern- sey centers of the Northwest.” AGRICULTURE More than ten millions of om people are actively engaged in ag- riculture.
