Let them have a fair chance to put their ideas into practice. It can’t be worse; it may be better.” They face a strong opposition, with ~only two or three votes to spare, and 'will be in a precanous position all along. The only point in their favor is that they would profit more than any other party by a new election, and the old-line pohtlclans know it, The star of the organized farmers "in Canada is on the ascendant,andif a wise course is pursued by the pohtlcal babes in the strange wood, who can tell to what end the movement will achieve? One certain thing at the present time is that every sign points to a farmers’ government for all of Canada as soon as the Union govern- ment at Ottawa decides to “trust the people.” Seed COntest'Attracts Farmers Professor H. L. Bolley Gives Rules Governing Competition for Prizes at Fargo in January- . zz51] ORE than $2,000 in prizes #| have been offered this season by the North Da- kota - Improved Seed Growers association for their 1920 seed growers’ contest and sales show, to be held at Fargo, N. D., January 20-24. Professor H. L. Bolley of the North Dakota Agricultural college, secretary of the show, believes the competition this year will be unusually close. In an announcement sent to the Nonpar- tisan Leéader he states: “Liberal cash and special prizes are ofiered on every variety of the follow- ing classes: 1, wheat; 2, oats; 8, bar- ley; 4, flax; 5, corn; 6 clover, 7, al- falfa; 8, grasses; 9, mlllet ‘10, pota- toes; 11, garden and other seeds. “Pack all samples carefully. Pre- pay all express or parcel post charges. Wrap all ears of corn carefully. Ship potatoes well wrapped by parcel post or bring them with you in a grip to prevent freezing. “The membershlp and entry fee for the first sample is $1; the entry fee for each additional sample 50 cents. “There are prizes for clean seeds ‘North Dakota and (Continued from page b) been very rapid from the day the state first started to operate the first mines it took over. Normal production was assured within a day or two. On Saturday Governor Frazier an- nounced the plan of state operation as follows: “The primary object of state opera- tion is to get the coal to the people of the state,” said Governor Frazier. “I feel that every one is willing to con= tinue to pay the present prices for a few days, until we learn what it ac- tually costs us to produce the coal. “In the operation by the state neither the state nor the mine opera- tors are to make any profit. Royal- ties of-from 10 to 25 cents per ton -will be paid the owners for coal taken from their mines. The price to the dealers will be governed by the actual cost of mining the coal, plus this roy- alty and whatever expense the state coal administration incurs in operat- ing the mines. I anticipate there will Supplying Fur Demand From the Farm (Continued from page 9) the breeding of rabbits. Rabbit hides are used in many of the cheaper fur pieces found upon the market today. The hair of the rabbit is also used to a considerable extent by hatters. Some rabbit breeders claim to have found a fairly ready market for their pelts, especially when their animals were purebred -and produced uniform furs. However, fur buyers for the most part say that owing to the cheap labor in Europe, forejgn rabbit furs can be bought, already tanned, for a price so low that it does not pay them to go out into the market after do- mestic pelts. Regardless of the fur situation rabbits are valuable for meat | and many proprietors of fur farms : }nenuou the Leades When erfinc Adverfiaen‘ and for uncleaned seeds.

No cut will be made, how- ever, until we have absolute figures on the cost of production.” The state coal administration has- employed the Equitable Auditing company of Fargo to handle the ac- counts of all mines while under state control. Accountants of this firm were in conference with State Mine Director Deemy planning the system of accounting to be used. Blanks have all been prepared and were put .in the hands of the printer. Director Deemy estimated a day’s productlon of lignite at the state op- erated mines at 4,000 tons. Over 1,- 300 tons were turned out at the Wil— ton mine at Wilton alone. Thirty- nine carloads of lignite left this mine for various parts of the state. It is estimated by the state mine ad- ministration that enough coal will have been turned out in the first week of state operation to supply between 24,- 000 and 25,000 families. raise them as a sideline, feeding the rabbit meat to their other fur animals. A number of stock-selling com- panies have been formed in the United States, with the announced purpose of raising the most expensive vari- eties of fox furs on a commercial scale. Some of these enterprises un- doubtedly have a good chance for suc- cess, but the person who is not per- sonally acquainted with the men: be- hind the scheme would do much better to leave such stock alone. The fur- raising industry, if attempted on a -large scale by amateurs, has as many chances for failure as for success and a company that is promoted for the purpose of stock selling-is generally dlsappomtment whether it hand]es gold mmes, oil wells or fox farms : Enter samples in the fol-. .Iom the Prade Startnow and ship every skin you handle this eesson to the greatest fur house in the greatest fur market in the world, Abraham Fur Co., St. Louis.
