Braver Than City Folks In an effort to clarify a situation which has been resulted in much talk based on inaccurate information, the Greater North Dakota association has sent out a bulletin in which it attempts to estimate the crop situa- tion by saying that it is neither as good as some persons would have us believe nor as bad as some others have painted it. Rain must come soon, it agrees, but if it does many sections still will be able to make a fair to good crop. In this connection it notes an es- sential difference between the psy- chology of farmers and that of city folks, the former being, on the whole, more optimistic than their urban brothers. It notes that “One reason for the great conflict among reports is that urban residents are more given to dire predictions than are the farmers themselves, Persons crossing ‘the state and interviewing business men alone will get a pretty black pic- ture of the prospects. On the other hand, if he reaches the farmers themselves, he will learn that the ac- tual crisis has not yet come, in some instances being as far distant as two ‘weeks or more.” The same bulletin estimates that in most cases horses and sheep. still can shift for themselves but that corn is necessary to carry cattle though the next six weeks, since hay is not available. It puts the amount needed as five bushels per animal and the cost at $2.50 per head, pointing out that this expenditure should enable many to carry through their stock until conditions improve. It points out, also, that purchase of livestock by the government would compensate the grower but would de- populate the farms of livestock and create a new and serious problem for the future. This is a factor worth serious con- sideration. If it is possible to hold foundation stock on our farms noth- ing should be left undone to accom- plish that end. Warning to Motorists Faced with a shortage of feed,| many farmers have adopted the habit of turning their cattle loose to graze along the roadsides where the pas- ‘ture has not been cropped short and where past accumulations of water in ditches have promoted the growth of grass. For this they can hardly be blamed, for in some cases it is either permit cattle to forage for themselves or ‘watch them starve by inches, the feed situation being bad in almost all parts of the state. Nevertheless, the situation creates f® traffic hazard which may have dis- astrous results, both for the cattle involved and for motorists. For a Zast-moving motor car to strike a cow in the road is apt to have re- sults as fatal for the motorist as for the cow. Since the practice has obviously been begun because of necessity, there seems small chance of it being stopped until pastures improve. The obvious answer on the pert of the eutomobile driver is to reduce his speed and get his car under control whenever he sees cattle grazing by the side of the road, That Mounting Death List Noting a contra-seasonal increase in deaths from automobile accidents during the first four months of 1934, the American Automobile association Predicts the greatest toll in history for the current year. Its estimate of the causes of this ascending curve is worth noticing be- cause it is based on a study of acci- dents reported as well as conditions as they are known to exist, ‘This conclusion is that “there is Bismarck| probably know all about modern dren, which it attributes to the cam- paign of safety education in the schools. Few Flaming Youths If you read the magazines, go to the movies or listen to lectures, you youth. Modern youth, as all these agencies have assured us over and over, is irreverent, flighty, disobedient, and generally bound for perdition. Home is just a place to sleep and parents fare just people who provide food and clothing and pocket money for rest- Jess youngsters. That's the picture, anyway. But some persons in the research bureau of the New York Welfare Council got to wondering about it recently, and set to work to find out if the picture is a true one. So they sent questionnaires to some 1600 Brooklyn school girls. They asked them, among other things, if they always asked their parents’ con- sent when they planned to go out anywhere in the evening—and all but 29 of the 1600 replied, very emphati- cally, that they always did! There were other questions, too; and a tabulation of the answers shows that the average Brooklyn school girl goes to bed at 10, or earlier, each night; puts in a good deal of time studying her lessons at home; goes to church or Sunday school regular- ly, and prefers to spend her leisure time at home rather than out with friends. And all this sounds like a pretty good refutation of the common talk about “flaming youth.” This cross- section of Brooklyn girlhood shows us @ youth that is what we like to think of as normal—youth that be- haves itself properly and stays at home, and works hard on the tasks given it, and lives very much as its parents lived when they were young. The Big Leaguer f | It is very probable that # lot of our talk about the wildness of youth comes from a subconscious sense of guilt, During the last 15 years we have given youth a pretty cock-eyed world to look forward to, what with wars, depressions, and so on. We have expected youth to kick over the traces because deep in our hearts we know that the state of the adult world has been an indictment of our own shortcomings, and our talk about youth’s failings has re- flected on us more than on our chil- dren. It 4s interesting to see how this ac- tual survey of modern youth fails to justify our calamity-howling. Grain Dealing Next Now that congress has devised reg- ulation for the stock exchange, it might properly look into the matter of the grain exchanges and see if a good field for its efforts is not open there. It has been pointed out that our system of dealing in agricultural commodity futures is so warped and generally illogical that the drouth, which threatens to cause a loss of at least $200,000,000 to the wheat grow- ers of the United States, may at the same time enrich the speculators by three times that much. One does not need to meditate over this very long to get the idea that something is out of balance with a system that works like that. Just what the remedy may be is not quite clear; but that congress might well look into the matter is pretty obvious.

Many of the Republicans, be- lieving that the amendment would operate in favor of the Democrats, voted against it, and until another session at least it is probably dead. Nevertheless, an amendment along this line is certain within the next few years, because it tends to make the election of presidents more repre- sentative of the popular will. Twice Presidents have been elected whose opponents received a larger popular vote. In 1876 Tilden received about 250,000 more votes than did Hayes, who received the electoral college ma- Jority, and in 1888 Cleveland received about s hundred thousand more votes than did Harrison, although the latter had 233 electoral votes and Cleveland only 168.
