D., 'who farmes in Morton county and who is secretary of the State Grange, and member of the Nonpar- tisan league, is scheduled, for ap- pointment by Acting Governor John H. Fraine to the vacancy on the state board of control to be caused y the resignation of J. W. Jackson. Mr. McKaig has always been active in the. interests of the farmers of ‘North ‘Dakota and has the indorse- ment of leading members of ‘the Equi- ty, Nonpartisan league and Grange for:the appointment. He was one of the lobbyists at the last session of the legislature for farmers’ legisla- tion and one of the first to join the Nonpartisan® league when that ‘was organized to secure political action for farmers on measures rejected by the ‘legislature. . Demands Free Hand Lieutenant Governor Fraine issued a statement denying that he had named McKaig in the absence from the state of Governor Hanna, but it is nevertheless predicted by McKaig’s friends that he will land the job be- fore the governor’s return, The nam- ing of a farmer, active. in farmers’ movements of North Dakota, to a position on a board which vitally touckes the farmers’ interests would b_e'a matter of great importance po- litically and the governor’s position in regard to the matter on his re- turn is problematical. McKaig has given his friends to understand that if offered the job by the lieutenant governor he will take it with the understanding that no strings are tied to it and he will be absolutely free to act as he finds the interest of the people of the’ whole state dictate. - McKaig had already announced his candidacy as a delegate to the legis- lature from Morton county and his friends fully expected his election and that he would become one of the house leaders for the farmers’ cause. He is a.speaker of ability and has a way of presenting arguments and driving them home to large audiences which has given him leadership in the various farmers’ organizations to which -he belongs. - : Market Letter * South St. Paul, Jan. 24.—With 2400 :cattle on the market today and 25000 cattle on Chicago’s market, the mar- ‘ket ruled 10 to 15 lower.

Co.:" NORTH DAKOTA FARMER LEADS The standard of comparison for: farm efficiency is the amount which a state produces for each perton en- gaged in farming. By this test the American farmer appears to be from two to six times as efficient as most of his competitors. = According to the records of the North Dakota De- velopment League Press Bureau at Grand Forks, the North Dakota Farmer appears to be at the head of farmer appears to be at the head of ficieney being due in a large part that so very large a percentage of the lands can be readily and easily worked. ; The three states where the farmers lead in the production of crops are: North Dakota '$2,429 for each farmer. ; Nevada, $2,203 for each farmer. California, $1,736 for each farmer. And from this the list dwindles ‘down to New Mexico, where the aver- age farmer produces $250 worth of crops. The crops of North Dakota amount- ed to more per capita for each citi- zen of the state than the crops_of any other state. There was a per capita production last year of $313 in North Dakota; South Dakota came next with $215 per capita—$98 less than North Dakota; then came Ne- braska, $165; lowa, $141; Kansas, 127; Idahe, $105; and all others were below $100. Rhode Island produced only $7 rer capita and Massachusetts $9. THE AVERAGE FARMER When the pigs are in the fodder, and the fodder in the pigs, and the price of hogs is forty dimes, he don’t ride in auto rigs. There’s no such thing as music in that peculiar grunt or squeal, when the price of feed is thirteen cents for its average daily meal: 3 When the beeves are in the stock car and four cents per ponnd is the stockman’s share, the smile on his face is lacking, for the deal isn’t on the square. For the consumer digs up twenty cents for every pound he gets, by heck, when the beeves are on the meat block and the pack-- er’s got his check. There’s lots of bunk about pros- rerity from this billion bushel crop, when the farmer’s grain is ready to sell, the price is sure to take a drop. Who says there’s no money in farm- ing when the gambler’s in the buy, for the gink who farms the farmer is the $2,000.00 per minute guy. : You hear nothing of adversity, the frost -and ‘droughts the hard time brings. The farmer’s got to chance it all with numerous other things. He cannot meet his® bills and rent, but the interest goes on just the same—it’s only twelve per cent. The progressive. republican league held a meeting at Bismarck, Jan. 11. The purpose of the meeting was to determine the sentiment in various communities on state and ' national polifics. The annual meeting of the league will be_held, in, Fargo, Jan. 18. Sooilsnort.—*Young man,” said the magistrate severely, “the assault you have committed on -your poor wife was most brutal.
