To be exact, the tests showed that the 'No. 1 Northern produced 671-3 per cent flour, while the “rejected” 42-pound wheat pro- duced 63 2-3 per cent flour. When the baking tests were made they were still more favorable to the light weight “rejected” wheats. showed that flour from the light weight wheat actually baked into a larger loaf and with better texture than the No. 1 Northern, the only element which was not quite so good was the color. Of course much better results yet could have been obtained by blending the They . — | A Farmers’ College and Its President ers’ revolt which has spread far be- yond the confines of North Dakota. And when, some day, the farmers’ movement has accomplished all of its purposes, and some future. historian comes to tell its full story, be sure that Dr. Ladd will be given his share of the credit. Outside of research work the de- partment of chemistry, under Dr. Ladd, does plenty of other work for the di- rect benefit of the farmer. Not a day passes but that samples of water and milk are received from all over the state for chemical and bacteriological tests. There are something like 1200 tests of this kind made annually, all The first field day of the Agricultural college, twenty-five years ago. light and heavy wheats, the process that actually has been followed for yvears by the millers, although the farmers weren't supposed to know anything about it. “FEED D” GRADES HAVE FED FLAMES OF REVOLT In the face of this bulletin, and two bulletins which followed, detailing other investigations along the same lines, the chamber of commerce last year established a grade and price card so arranged that North Dakota wheat, most of it, went into the “feed” classi- fication. Maybe they thought the farmers hadn't been paying much at- tention to the college investigations. Maybe they thought the hardheaded farmer would look down on the college tests as the ‘“theoretical” work of a “professor”. But the farmer put two and two to- gether and made four out of it. He stood up on his hind legs and roared. That roar was heard all over the Unit- ed States. It put North Dakota on the map. It added strength to the farm- without cost to the farmer. Dr. Ladd holds to the theory that the farmers pay for this work by their taxes in aid of the college and it would be unfair to charge a secortd time for making the test. At one time a charge was fixed for this work by the trustees but at Dr. Ladd’'s request this was can- celled. 3 Ocassionally the college is imposed upon. One time three samples of water were sent in for testing by three farmers living in the same locality. After the tests were made Dr. Ladd re- ceived a letter from ome of the men, thanking him and telling the reason the tests were asked. The writer said he and his two neighbors each of whom had an artesian well, had ‘gotten to- gether and had become engaged in an argument over which had. the best water. They had bet™25 cents apiece on it and had sent the water in to be tested so that the. college could decide the bet. But there is not much of this; most of the -farmers realize that the college exists for serious work, and that it has plenty of it to do. Sorry Tells What’s Wrong (Continued from page 12) venshun. And that ain’t all, Mr. Sorry. I no the reezon you quit the Leeg at the county convenshun at Hailsbur- row.” At this junkchure Mr. Sorry got up - an' commenced to look fur hiz coat. “Jist wait a minnit,” sed the tall feller. - “I ain’t dun with you yit. You been shootin’ off ‘your mouth here ‘fur an hour an’ now I'm deter- mined>that you shall listén to me or T'll brand you az a coward.” * Sorry sot down' agin’ an’' the tall feller went on. WHY SORRY LEFT THE LEAGUE IN A HURRY ' “Now, here’s: what happened at Hailsburrow, an” moreover here's why it happened. “You wanted to be nominated to the legislachure. The -boys all ‘node you did. Tha had decided that you shud not be nominated. After the naims had been ritten on' the ‘blackboard— yourn along with them, the ballots were past an’ you tuck two ballots.” On the furst vote no wun got a majority an’ so we had to vote ag'in. Wunce more the ballots wur passed. That time you did not take a ballot becuz you already had wun—havin’ tuck two the furst time. Now-the furst ballots wur maid frum ruled paper. The sec- ond bunch uv ballots wuz maid frum plane white paper. “On the' furst ballot you got two votes and on the second wun you got wun vote, and it wuz on the ruled peace uv paper, which proves that you voted fur yourself. It wuz then an’ thar, Mr. Sorry, that you bolted the Leeg an’ you have bin a-boltin’ it ever sinst. You even run fur Lutennent guvernor soze you culd have a decent man to vote fur, you sed. And more- over you sed that you didn't want no Leeg man to vote fur you—-you wanted only decent men’s votes.” Bi this time Sorry had hiz coat an’ hat on an' wuz a-lookin’ fur the door. “Jist wait a-nuther ‘'minnit,”——then the trane whistle blowed an’ most every -body beet it fur the depot. Yours trooly, RIP. —_— WHY THEY ARE CONVINCED One goes from a Nonpartisan League meeting, such as that held at Grand Forks, March. 30, convinced of the earnestness of the farmers. The Non- partisan movement, with thousands of the farmers, is no more a mere issue— it’s a religion. They, themselves are playing the roles of patriots, engaged in a campaign for new economic condi- tions that are painted to them as the ultimate objectives of the Nonpartisan movement, And when you speak to a man, no matter what his pursuit, visualize his prospect of greater profits by such a striking picture as has been given to the League in this state in the famous “fifty-five millions of dollars lost' an- nually by’ unfair grading and dockage of grain”, when you add to that hope of new profits the prospect and con- viction that the movement he is en- gaged in is one of patriotism that will forever redound to his credit and to the credit of his children, and his children’s children, just as the Non- ‘partisan League workers are doing day in and day out, you begin to under- stand something of the tremendous ‘hold that the League movement has taken upon S0 many thousands of farmers.—CANDO HERALD, FOURTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS Save All Big Flour Profits for “Your Community NONPARTISAN LEAGUE FARMERS GET TOGETHER TO SAVE EXPENSE SHTA “BETTER BARREL OF FLOUR ' CHEAPER” Keep the grain and flour business and profits in your own hands in the North- west.
