' - ‘ 3 {apparently had been successful in CLAYTON IS COOPERATIVE putting a crimp in the Mountrail oe county farm business conference which opened here Monday with an attendance of more than 450 persons. The heavy snow of Monday night, however, failed to entirely disrupt the meeting and when the last session of the conference was resumed, Tues- day afternoon, there was an attend- ance of about 100. Mountrail county has been one of the most consistent in decreasing its wheat acreage and indications are that 1930 will see further decreases, according to Dr. E. G. Booth, state agronomist.

It has 22,000 inhabi- tants and they are all making moncy Its automobiles average better than one to a family. The citizens have epposed the McNary-Haugen bill be- cause they don't need relief. Considering the fact that Clayton county is planked down in the mid- dle region where agriculture has been greaning under a seven-year depres- s this sounds almost unbelieveable. E fact remains that the farm- crs of this section have tound cut how to make agriculture pay. Crops Are Diversified Cc. F. Murphy, a leading attorney, , explains it easily. “In the first place.” he says, “we have a very fine soil here—a produc- tive clay loam, well watered and well ned. “But out-success is primarily due to the fact that our agriculture is di- versified. Our farmers raise all the kinds of crops that can be raised in the north temperate zone, and they know how to rotate their crops so as to get the most out of the land. They raise poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle and sheep—and everything that is raised here is fed here. The stock feed is grown right on Clayton county | farms.” The average Clayion county farm is about 160 acres in size. A farmer will lay aside a 40-acre patch for pas- ture land for his stock. Another 40- acre patch will be devoted to raising hay. A third patch of the same size will be sowed with small grain—oats, barley, wheat or rye—and a fourth 40-acre pach will be planted with corn. At the end of the year the farmer simply moves part way around this square. to grain lies fallow and serves as a pasture lot. The field that was a pasture lot will be planted with corn. | The former cornfield will be planted with hay. The former hay field will be sown with grain. So it goes, year after year—and the soil keeps its pro- ductivity undiminished. Farm Bureau Aids Clayton county farmers also take full advantage of the state farm bu- reau here in Elkader, the county seat. Roy Combs, county agent, has taught the farmers here the value of co- operatives, and has helped them to use scientific crop methods. He has organized a great number of cow-testing associations. A tester visits each farm once a month, test- ing each cow's milk for its butterfat content. He advises the farmer on the kind of feed that is needed and helps him to make his dairy herd as productive as possible. ‘There are 15 co-operative cream- eries in the county, and 19 co-opera- tive livestock shipping associations, which handle 90 per cent of the county's livestock sales—some 3,500 cars of stock a year. There are co- operative feed-grinding mills in every town. The result of all of this is that the agricultural depression has bothered this county very little. Hold Own Mortgages To begin with, 75 per cent of all mortgages on Clayton county farms are held within the county. Thus, when the depression came, and the eastern investment houses began to call their farm paper. Clayton coun- ty escaped such a sudden demand on its resources. Its banks gave exten- sions, fully confident that they would get their money. “Our farmers get a continuous in- come,” says Murphy. “And they're mighty good business people. A lot of them have regular accounting sys- tems, just like city business houses. There are plenty of farms here with $50,000 worth of buildings on them. Practically every family owns an au- tomobile, and lots of them have two or three, and a truck besides. There hasn't been a bankruptcy in Elkader in 30 years, and mighty few anywhere in the county. We've never had a bank failure—and we're in the middle of the corn belt, if you please.” Clayton county has only $1,600,000 in bonded indebtedness—a bond is- sue floated not long ago to provide paved roads, but this bond issue is not costing Clayton county anything. Each year the county gets @ certain sum from the state highway commis- sion for road construction. This money is sufficient to pay the interest on the county's bonds and retire them The field that was planted | The young lady who took a job because she didn’t like housework (MISFORTUNE AND ORPHANAGES, | FAMILY BIBLES AND HERMITS, ENTWINED IN CLAIM TO RICHES most non-existent.

A slight increase in the number of poultry kept on farms was proposed in a recommendation by the poultry committee. ~ The horiticulture committee in that the “planting of shelter belts is one of the biggest improvements Mountrail farmers can put on their Places.” Emphasis was laid on the importance of securing the right va- rieties of trees for this section of the state and the need for proper care and cultivation. A permanent county agricultural committee of 13 men and women was appointed, Tuesday afternoon, at the {general session of the conference.

Metro Goldwyn Mayers, all talking singing picture, “So This is College” is now showing at the Paramount Theatre. Sam Wood, who directed the co- authored this sparkling collegiate pic- ture has caught the spirit of youth and flung it into the microphone ard cameras with a deft aim. He scores @ perfect touchdown and has set up a [goal difficult for others to attain in this particular field. The catchy tunes of “So This is College” alone makes this film stand head and shoulders above any similar stage theme and the swiftly moving plot, climaxing in a dramatic and tense football game, could never be even remotely suggested by a theatre Presentation. The M-G-M college comedy brings to the screen a number of new faces —Robert Montgomery and Elliott Nu- gent of Broadway juvenile fame. Sally Starr, a new screen find, Cliff (Ukelele Ike) Edwards and a group of real college girls who cut capers all over the place. | The original story and dialogue, credited to Wood, Al Boasberg and Delmer Daves, has as its chief moti- vation the comradery of the two star football players on the U. 8. C. team. The campus vamp, wrecking their friendship, almost ruins their game. Much of the picture was filmed and recorded out of doors and the abund- ance of moving shots, heretofore un- attempted in talking pictures, are handled with skill and effectiveness. CAPITOL THEATRE That any goal can be attained if one doesn’t lose hope—is the belief of Polly Walker, beautiful leading woman in Radio Pictures’ big musical show “Hit the Deck,” now a: the Capitol theatre. “For a long time I had wanted the song, ‘Sometimes I'm Happy; as a special number for my work,” said Miss Walker, “and after three possible chances at last I get to sing it! “While with a show called ‘The Night Out’ the number was all set for me but before the show opened the prima donna decided she would like to sing it so I had to give it up.

Washington, Feb. 26.—(4)—Serene home on a quiet street of Washington gives little hint that William Howard Taft is fighting there the greatest battle of his life. There is little traffic in the street. An occasional passerby gazes curious- ly or sympathetically at the white curtained upstairs windows. Behind them nurses and doctors move softly about. A pathetic little figure emerges from the door. Mrs. Taft is starting out for some much neded exercise. Faithful Anne McNamara accom- panies her mistress solicitously to the door, blinks back tears as she watches Mrs. Taft turn the corner. “It was such a shock to us to see Mr. Taft come back so changed,” she said wiping her eyes..
