THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1931 Newspapers In Wheat Belt Are Dryest In Nation, NEA Poll Indicates - BA PUBLICATIONS OF 19 IN AREA CASTING VOTES BACK DRY LAW = Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota Included in Section EASTERN DISTRICT WETTEST * Anti- Prohibition Tendencies Seem to Increase’as Pop- ulation Gets Larger By BRUCE CATTON (NEA Service Writer) Analysis of the returns in the na- tional survey of American newspa- pers’ editorial attitudes on prohibition, conducted by the NEA Service, of which the Bismarck Tribune is a . Client, seems to indicate that a news- paper's wetness, generally speaking, : is in direct proportion to its size. Replies were received from 859 newspapers in all parts of the coun- try. Of these, 389 declared for pro- hibition as it stands; 345 seek repeal of the 18th amendment and the Vol- stead act; 38 favor modification of the Volstead act, and 87 are neutral. The average daily circulation of the newspapers which favor prohibi- tion is 10,108. The average circulation of the newspapers which oppose prohibition » is 36,291. 4 Papers calling for modification, + however, average 6,944 in daily circu- lation; and the neutral papers aver- age a circulation of 7,085. This survey, which undertook to show the editorial attitudes of the newspapers and not the individual preferences of their editors, was con- ducted along the lines of a survey announced last fall by the Federal Prohibition Bureau. Shortly after : that survey had been announced it was canceled by Colonel Amos W. » W. Woodcock, prohibition director, who said that he feared its purpose : might be misunderstood. Believing that the information which such a survey would obtain might be of value to students of the Prohibition question, NEA Servive thereupon mailed out questionnaires, containing exactly the same questions as those asked in Colonel Woodcock’s original survey, to approximately 1,500 American dailies. In this series - of four articles the results are pre- sented herewith for what they may be worth. No attempt is made to say what significance they may have, all conclusions being left to the read- er, before whom only the facts are Placed. Total Circulation 17,000,000 The ‘otal circulation of the 859 papers that replied in the poll was 17,333,225. When these papers are classified according to their sizes, added interest is given the results. For example: Replies were received from 35 pa- pers whose circulations were than 100,000 each.

North Dakota Agriculturists In- vited to Fargo Sessions Jan. 20 to 23 ‘Three days of practical crops work are in store for North Dakota farm- ers and seed growers who attend the seed school and crop improvement program which opens at the agricul- tural college in Fargo Jan. 20. The school is a part of Farmers and Homemakers Week Jan. 20 to 23 and is the principal feature. Originally the seed school was con- sidered primarily a training period for seed growers but it has now been expanded to provide an opportunity for all farmers to secure valuable in- formation and ideas on crop produc- tion. Legumes, grasses, wheat, flax, barley, corn, potatoes, and soil man- agement are the main topics on the program. There are no fees of any kind in connection with work. The first session opens at 9 @ m. with registration, to be followed by a short business meeting of the North Dakota Crop Improvement associa- tion, and brief addresses by J. H. Shepperd, president of the .college, and C. F. Monroe, director of exten- sion work. Later in the morning E. M. Gillig, state seed commissioner will discuss pure seed prospects. In the afternoon, legumes and grasses are the principal topics. Al- falfa and sweet clover seed produc- tion, field peas, marketing problems, protection by certification, alfalfa and sweet clover studies, crested wheat grass and variety breeding methods are subjects which will be considered. In the evening a ban-, quet and a business meeting of the state crop improvement association are scheduled. Wednesday, Jan. 21, attention will be turned to small grains, including wheat, barley and flax. Varieties best adapted for growing in the state and methods of growing them will occupy most of the day, Related subjects such as varieties of wheat most desired by millers and seed certification will be discussed. North Dakota exhibits from the In- ternational Hay and Grain chow in Chicago will be on display. Problems pertaining to corn, po-. tatoes and soil management will come up for study and discussion on the final ‘day’s session, Jan. 22. Such phases as varieties and types of corn, corn drying and storage, listing and tillage, feeding value of corn, im- proved varieties of potatoes, diseases and se-d treatment of potatoes, main- tenance of superior ‘potato seed stocks, handling and marketing of Potatoes, and certification are in- cluded. Soil management will in- clude such subjects as summerfallow, weed control, fertilizers and cropping systems, Purebred Holstein Bull Sold by A. C.
