TRANSFER STUDENTS LOAN ALLOTMENTS $6,000 Taken From U., AC Funds, Given to Four State Normal Schools Ths state board of administration has transferred $6,000 in student loan funds to increase allotments of four collegiate institutions because of 0 “greater need,” Mrs. Jennie Ulsrud, board chairman, said Tuesday. She explained the board approved transfer of $3,000 each from previous allotments to the university and agri- cultural college to be added to four other institutional allotments, Minot normal getting $2,500, Ellendale nor- ma $500 and Dickinson normal and Wahpeton Science school $1,500 each. “The AC and university have other student loan funds and they received larger amounts under the program created by the board,” the chairman said. “Those two schools have been careful in selecting students for loans and also held money in reserve to aid students in the winter term.” \ Chairman Ulsrud said the board has approved plans for fumigation of the state hospital for insane at James- town and work will start Saturday under the entomologist of the Agricul- tural college. _|YBAGER ADVOCATES | EADER BE. NAMED | 10 HIS A.C. PLAGE Famed Plant Breeder Still Un- willing to Explain His Resignation ——— Fargo, N. D., Nov. 2.—Dr. A. F. Yea- ger, famed NDAC_horticulturist, who resigned several weeks, ago, effective Jan, 1, has recommended Elwyn Meader, his graduate student assist- ant, to carry on in the plant breeding work, which has brought the college and Dr. Yeager himself national claim. Dr. Yeager revealed this recommen- dation in his November news letter to members of the North Dakota State Horticultural society. “As most of you\know,” Dr. Yeager wrote, “I have resigned my position as. head of the horticulture department at the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege, effective Jan. 1. I do not care to go into the reasons for this action at this time. (When Dr. Yeager an- nounced his resignation a few weeks back, he said: “To anyone familiar with the situation at the A. C., reasons should be obvious. I no definite plans for the future.”) No Future Plans “Up to the present,” his news letter continues, “I have not made any plans for the future. As most of you prob- ably realize, this is not the best time of year to make a new connection. .. “In order that there may be as little loss as possible to the state, I have recommended that Mr. Elwyn Meader, @ graduate of the University of New Hampshire, who has been With me since July 1, as graduate student as- sistant, be appointed in my place to carry on my breeding work. “That Mr. Meader is qualified for ave is evidenced by the fact that in United States civil service examina- tion given this summer, he ranked second in the United States. One ot the other eight who passed the exem- ination, incidentally, also happens to be one of my graduate assistants and graduated from the North Dakota Ag- ricultural college'last spring.” Selecting Jury for Thme Forgery Trial Napoleon, N.

F. Bonzer, Jr., former man- ager of the state mill and elevator. Representing the mill and elevator, Francis Murphy, Fargo, contends in bis brief that the rule a party cannot maintain an action against himself, or that one person cannot in the same action hold mutually incon- sistent positions of plaintiff and de- fendant has no application in the present proceedings. “The mental confusion evidenced by the arguments presented on the be- half of the intervener in its brief,” Murphy said, “arises from failure to distinguish between the state, as dis- tinct and separate from its instrumen- talities or agents, the North Dakota Mill and Elevator and the state bond- association is the state and that a suit against the bonding fund is a suit against the state. ‘The legal technicality arose in the Grand Forks district court several months ago when the Trust company contended the state was suing itself ir an action by the mill and elevator against the bonding fund after the bonding fund had rejected claims totaling more than $50,000 against ‘Bonzer’s bond, SHERIDAN FARMER RETIRES WEALTHY 30 Years of Hard Work Reap Rewards for Joe Engel Despite Bad Years McClusky, N. D., Nov. 2.—Back in 1907 Joe Engel threshed his first crop after establishing himself in the farm- ing business in Sheridan county. He Taised a field of flax which produced 136 bushels, with 100 bushels being sold at 94 cents a bushel—enough to give him a start. Now Engel has retired after 30 years farming. He finds the years creep- ing up on him, and farm tasks becom- ing more and more difficult for him to perform. He stated simply that he was “tired,” but did not add that he ¢ ea in position to retire—which e is, Engel has made a success of farm- ing in Sheridan county, and he is re- his farm home Monday. tiring in a year when many North Chesterfields give everybody more pleasure Take out a pack and it draws "em like a magnet... right away smokers crowd around for that refreshing MILDNESS and BETTER TASTE Dakota farmers are looking to the far west as the land of milk and honey. But Mr. Engel is not leaving Sheridan county—he has established a home in McClusky. Although he did not say it in 80 many words, he does not in- tend to leave the country which, after years of perseverance and hard work, has treated him well. The Engel farm is located a mile ‘west of Skogmo. It was small in the earlier years, but as crops were boun- tiful, and the family industrious and conservative, the place was built up and Engel added to his holdings. Now he has turned over an 800-acre farm to his son, Jack, to look after. The piace is well stocked with cattle, horses, poultry and machinery. There is plenty of feed grain, hay and for- age for the livestock. During his 30 years of farming here, Engel stated that he has always been able to harvest some crop, with 1936 being the poorest crop year. Last year he threshed only 150 bushels of grain, as compared with 1937 returns of 2,- 500 bushels of wheat, 1,100 bushels of oats, 300 bushels of barley and three double wagon boxes full of ear corn.
