With the appointment of his per- ' sonal secretary made, the Governor- elect had no statement to make re- garding other possible appointments in the near future, and indicated tl his first extended statement pro’ will be in his message to the legi ture, His attention called to the fact that the majority of the board of managers of the state mill and cle- 4 vator at Grand Forks had resigned, the Governor-elect had no public comment to make.

The 22 farmers keep detailed rec- | ords each year of all activities, and from these records, the farm man- agement staff at the-college dissects out the various activities, compares | each detail for each farm with the average for the whole group, shows! just what profit or loss has resulted from each enterprise, shows how ef- | ciently man and horse labor has! been employed, and what type of | farm organization has been the most | profitable. , 1923 Records “The records for 1923 brought to! light some significant facts,” Mr. Thorfinnson declares. “These rec- ords showed that every farmer on the route should improve the quality of his livestock. In general, they all had enough livestock, but the quality was poor and the returns were low. “Most “of the farms were fairly well diversified. Sources of income which contributed at least ten per- cent toward the total income aver-| aged four per farm. The lowest was | two, a farmer who had just started business and produced only wheat and flax. The highest was six,— wheat, rye, flux, cattle, hogs and poultry. The most common com- bination was cattle, hogs and wheat with one other cash crop, either rye or flax. An illustration of the value of the information secured is furnished by the ‘data on cattle. The average net- income for each $100 of cattle on hand was $25. Yet one farmer net- ted a profit of $79 for each $100 worth of eattle, and another farmer lost $70 for each $100 worth of cat- tle.” A typical sunimary sent to one of the farmers on the route follows: “Your farm was larger than the average on the cost route. but is fairly well diversified. You made a little money in 1923 mainly because your investment was small, since you were a renter, and because of the returns-from the cattle, sheep and poultry, and possibly the seed crop from the red clover. 64 Percent In Cash Crops “You have 64 percent cf your acre- age in cash crops and you lost mon- ey on all of them through poor yields and prices. It might pay you better to raise a little more feed for your livestock. You did well with the poultry and sheep; fair with the cows; but you lost money on the hogs. There is room for im- provement in the quality of both cat- tle and hogs, but the muin trouble the lack of feed. Livestock can’t be profitably raised without sufficient feed, “You kept your labor cost way. fr MAIL THEFT IS CHARGED Fargo, <i . 2,-—Harold ‘(poldberg, arrested in Minot Tues- wwe WBay night, is being held in the Ward lounty jail there on a charge of as- cme aulting postoffice employees in an = tempt to steal United States’ mail. is alleged that Goldberg attacked finot postal employees on Dec. 18 le mail was being transported pm the Great Northern station to pffice in that city. pplaint against him was W.

The} FRENCH OPEN DISCUSSIONS ON WAR DEBT Announced That Negotiations Are Begun With Secretary of Treasury Mellon SEE FINAL AGREEMENT French Understood Also To Be Taking Up War Debt With London Paris, Jan. 2.—The French foreign office today confirmed reports that negotiations had been opened be- tween Finance Minister Clementel und Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the United States Treasury, re- gurding the funding of the French war debt. Although the note is signed by the minister of finance instead of by Premier and Foreign Minister Her- riot it is admitted by the foreign of- fice that it contains the first tang- ible proposition France has made toward a# settlement. It is thought in official circles that M. Clementel’s note cannot af- ford the basis for an actual settle- ment but that it will open a discus- sion that may lead to final agree- ment. It is understood a similar note with similar propositions has been sent to London concerning the fund- Eve tragedy which to the ground.
