Important Experimerits North Dakota will be the scene of many important experi- ments this year and upon their outcome depends much that is important to the future of this state. All of these experiments pertain to the problems of agri- culture, specifically, how to achieve production despite adverse conditions. One approach is through irrigation. The newly-organized state water conservation board hopes to have irrigation this year on a number of farms scattered throughout the state. Farmers co-operating with the board will be asked to keep note of their ‘production—and its cost—and compare this information with the production and costs obtained from nearby try-land opera- tions. ; But irrigation is limited to areas where water is available. Efforts will be made to impound additional water but thif will necessarily be a slow process. The opportunity is a real one but the places where it can be economically applied are limited. The second approach—and it has the widest application— is represented by co-operative work toward sound soil manage- ment. This means efforts to prevent soil erosion by wind—and water if it ever rains—woodland plantings, pasture manage- ment and wildlife conservation. bed Associations involving small groups of farmers now are being organized in Burleigh, Stutsman, Mercer, Slope, Bowman, |" McKenzie, Golden Valley and Divide counties by the extension service of the state agricultural college and the federal soil conservation service. ; The aim is to provide farmers with assistance in laying out conservation plans for their farms, soil specialists, foresters and engineers having been mustered for that purpose. The ultimate object is to achieve greater production by holding the soil in place and preventing the run-off of moisture, either in | ®** the form of wind-blown snow or natural rainfall. In a few places, projects are designed to direct moisture, accumulated in one place, to nearby areas in a sort of natural irrigation. Both irrigation and the practices advocated by soil manage- ment experts seem logical but no widespread test has yet been made of their ability to méet North Dakota’s condition. That test will be made, in part, this year. Much wider experience will be available when projects to be constructed this year go into operation in the crop year of 1938. 5 ers, The point is that there is a sharp difference between theory Benerlt “aPregen nees went into and practice. To be really effective here, the plans adopted speculation, some int must be of such nature that they can be effectively placed in |"tye"urise favel ain operation by the ayerage farmer.

Naked Realities Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan probably will be the next Republican presidential nominee. As things stand| *“General Goering guarded care! now he can have the nomination if he wants it. Anyone who understood the background of politics in 1936 knows he could have had the nomination which went to Mr. Landon had he cared to ask for it. : For that reason it is interesting to note that he feels more liberal now than he did when he went to the senate 10 years ago. “Contact with naked realities,” he asserted, has caused him to change his mind about many ‘things. In short, Senator Vandenberg has broadened with the years. He has learned to examine facts, some of them unpl ant, and make decisions accordingly. Undoubtedly he has plenty of prejudices left. Nearly everyone has. But he has learned to look at things objectively. It would be a good thing for America if everyone did that. It would do a lot to develop the kind of nation that every good | around. _ American wants. It would halt both the wild-eyed radicals and the hard-shelled ultra-conservatives. It would give justice, |er<%, _. tair-play and decency a chance. No one can object to that. For im the “President asks nation to the os lidsemns too dow? a Great Plains.” Are the dust] issues .
