(Official City, State and County Newspaper) An Increased Yield ; Increased production of the important food and feed crops during the last forty years is due in 4 considerable measure to the increase in yield per acre, according to B. O. Weitz, agricultural econo- mist cf the United States Department of Agricul- ture, who states that this acre-yield increase has been most noticeable in the long-settled northwest- ern section of the United States where some of the land has been supposed by many to be “wearing out.” This is a trend that is very welcome. The popula- tion is growing steadily and most of the good land suitable for cultivation has already been taken up. The problem of soil productivity and fertility in rela- tion to the future food supply is this: a more and more important phase of land utilization. Some idea of the trend of acre yields can be esti- mated on the basis of past performances. 1883 the average yield per acre of corn has increased 18 per cent; wheat, 17 per cent; oats, 14 per cent and potatoes about 10 per cent. During this forty year period the combined acreage of corn, wheat, oats and potatoes has been expanded about 52 per cent, whereas the total production of these crops has in- creased 77 per cent. It becomes very evident that nearly one third the increase in the production of these four crops can be assigned to increase in yield per acre. It is thus safe to assume that developments in the coming years with regard to acre yields will depend, as in the past, to a great extent on the prices of agricultural products. Rising values of food products normally would result in increasing intensification and a higher level of soil productivity through better cultivation methods, more suitable rotations, more efficient use of crop residues and greater use of commercial fertilizers. The Insurance Growth Of all the remarkable records ofjbusiness growth in the United States during the past-five years, none approaches that of ‘the fifty-two legal reserve life insurance companies. The burden of financial responsibility which now rests upon the shoulders of these fifty-two business organizations presents a figure of cold dollars which is beyond the grasp of any human being. We simply cannot adequately comprehend the meaning of the whole situation. The total amount of the outstanding insurance issucd by these fifty-two companies exceeds $80,- 000,000,000 and the magnitude of this sum can be comprehended when it is realized that the public debt cf the United States is about $19,000,000,000, or less than one-fifth of the outstanding life in- surance, which, in turn, is equal to about one-fifth of our national total wealth, estimated as close to $400,000,000.000. It is a notable fact that since 1880 life insurance accumulations have increased twenty-eight times, while the national wealth has increased only eight times and the total annual income of all the people in the United States is estimated at approximately $90,000,000,000, or $10,000.000,000 more than the total of insurance. Life insurance is becoming deservedly popular. It is a splendid thing for the small wage earner who plans to leave some provision for his family in the event of accident or death. That the wealthy have been quick to be included in the life insured ranks speaks well for the dependability of the com- panies and for the general idea of life insurance for itself. It is the only way that the average man can provide that his debts will be cared for and some- thing provided for his family. It is a constant protection and a great eliminator of worry. The Negro and Southern Solidity Col. Henry W. Anderson of Virginia is inclined tq-the opinion that the negro should be taken out of southern politics. So he said in a speech before the Institute of Public Relations, now in session at Charlottesville, Va. Col. Anderson does not go so far as to advocate the total disfranchisement of the negro, but he does suggest that sometimes it would be better for the and for the black man himself if he would veer away from the Republican party and divide the vote more evenly. As a leading Southern Republican, Col. Anderson is .in a position to know what the south needs, and he is firm in his belief that the “solid south” woul: better off if it weren't quite so solid. 4 "lt is a recognized fact that the southern negroes’ ‘Tribune Company, postoffice at | will still be vehemently protested,“and their execu- Since | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Another Chapter Ends Sacco andVangetti are dead, and so cnds a chap- ter in modern American history which will prob- ably be remembered in years to come as one of the most bitter and recriminatory periods of our time. It is over seven years since a paymaster and his guard were brutally murdered at South Braintree. Mass. Since that time there has been a fierce legal battle going on over the innocence or guilt of the two accused men: Sacco and Vanzetti. A jury of their peers once declared them guilty. A vernor-.of , Massachusetts, known for his wise- ntgs and fairness, declared them guilty. An advis- orycouncil made up of three of the most upright men New England can boast declared them guilty. And they have paid the penalty, but they will be remembered. Not so much by the average folk of country who, having seen justice done, are satis- ‘ied, by a little group of malcontents. Instedd‘e{ men whose hands &re stained with the blood of the ir they killed, they have become martyrs to a certaip radical: group. Their innocence tion will be discussed and‘ealled many names, includ- ing that of “legalized murder” But, though to" very small group, these men may be considered martyrs, they will seem nothing like that to the gre ts of American people., To them, Sacco and Vanzetti..will appear as they really are: Two murderers, thrtgg tried and thrice found guilty of a crime for whi ur laws justly prescribe the most severe penalty. New Medicat Discoveries ~ ; Likely to mark a decided change in the treatment of infantile paralysis is the ni rum ‘which ‘Dr. Leon Herbert Martin, public health tor at Fort Worth, Texas, has just perfected. >" Dr. Martin points out that his serum is not as perfect as he would wish it, but in certain cases has worked marvels with apparently’ incurable suf- ferers. The treatment consists of injecting serum from a patient recently recovered from the disease into the bloodstream of a new case. In five cases treated, paralysis was stopped. As yet, no organism has been isolated which has proved to be the cause of the disease.’ But Dr. Mar- tin’s experiments would seem to indicate that a partial solution has been reached. k Considering that infantile paralysis is one of the Human Nature Is a Funny Thin Panay Thing __| BY RODNEY DUTCHER Aug. 25.—The War Department tells one of the caval- atories which,| Senor Dr. Di i Tellez, de- ishey sate teenth street. matic dignity. walt: Like beck he does. ke cheek and rides. © The Spanish ambi the rookie who was horse as soon as h camp.

Tuberculosis and methods of averting it are frequently discussed in the newspapers. But paralysis, despite the fact that only a few years ago it struck many towns of the United States, is heard of only occasionally. Here, it would seem, is an evident need for an educational campaign. Lack of funds and a concrete organization to carry on the work, such as the anti- tuberculosis societies, have prevented dissemination of much information. Even though the cure for every case may not yet have been found, there are certain general rules which could well be taught to the public. A campaign along these lines would be a real public service. | Editorial Comment | Impressed with North Dakota (Fargo Forum) The political correspondents, now beginning their quadrennial anabasis of the country, are looking over the prospects and the trend of political thought in the several states. Two of them already have found their way into North Dakota, and the observa- tions of one have been printed back east. They are interesting observations, too, worthy in every respect of the man who made them—Mr. Richard V. Oula- han, chief of the Washington bureau of The New York Times. Mr. Oulahan’s comments on the purcly political aspects of the North Dakota situation need not be considered here. So far as a North Dakotan is con- cerned, it is too early to begin discussing candidates, national or state. Things are in too much a nebulous state to permit of an accurate analysis. The thing that impresses one in Mr. Oulahan’s article is the new vision of North Dakota the eastern visitor gets upon arrival here. They no longer view the state with suspicion. They find none of the “revolt” against the administration that was -ad- vertised so extensively a few years ago. They see no leanings toward radicalism and all the other “isms” that spring from a desire to have prosperity legislated. They find the state has come a long way on the road of reconstruction; that it has weathered the difficulties incident to post-war depression far better than the other great agricultural common- wealths.

In his first article in The Times, Mr. Oulahan says: “The outlook for crops is good. with estimates made that the value of the state's farm products this year will be $450,000,000, inclusive of ‘what the farmers themselves consume, which, should the esti- mate be justified, will be a splendid showing for a community of 700,000. Of this aggregate about $150,000,000 is expected to represent the income from diversified farming, devoted to dairy products, honey, poultry, livestock and some other things. Diversification has relieved many of the North Da- kotat farmers from the gamble of wheat production, which spells big money in good years and -hard times in others. To diversification is attributed much of the prosperity which the state appears to enjoy and expects to continue.” 5 Again, Mr. Oulahan says: “The fact appears to be|’ that North Dakota is not the radical, socialistic OUT OUR WAY. 7 SAM, WHADDIO - ol TEwW You ‘BouT GININ BROTHER fs WHAT HE WANTS, [oOo WHEN HE CRIES! tl bility of income for gambling in wheat, there is 2 state of the recent past and is shy of undertaking experiments in paternalism. * * * * The farmers are busy, diversified farming has substituted sta- feeling of content apparent, and the people are so well satisfied with their lot that for the first time in many years they are thinking of other things ‘than politics.” t * nly: bY! aviator who, makes’ a ‘Nc stronger 1 Whiteman.” eraft.—Toussaiant TOver- * », er of TT AMrE ARI" Of] Iw GATTN IT FER-AM,. 2 PROMISED Him.
