ELLINGER 0, parts alfalfa meal, beef scraps fed in separate hopper-and constant supply. Particularly well suited to light and active breeds. ) An addition of 3 per cent of bone meal is beneficial to all of these for- mulae. Similarly one-half to 1 per cent of fine table salt should be added to all mashes and the mash thorough- 1y mixed. Fresh, clean water, kept from freez- ing, should be before the fowls all the time. } Wet mashes have been largely sup- planted by dry, although there is econ- omy in wet mashes if skillfully fed and suitable wastes are available. Green food is essential to good health and egg production. Feed cab- bage, mangels, rutabagas, alfalfa or clover, fed in racks, and sprouted grains. The hen fed on wheat alone obtains enough fat to make three eggs but one-half enough protein to makc one egg, says Helen Dow Whitaker of the. State College of Washington. - Herein lies the value of sprouted oats as a feed. They are as rich in protein as wheat or corn and less fattening. 'Furthermore, sprouted oats are great- ly relished by the hens and they also have a tonic effect. 5 This is the last of a series o: three articles on winter egg production. Bank of North Dakota a Proved Success (Continued from page 3) to-the federal reserve bank, with its greater resources, and have it redis- counted. The chief fault of the fed- eral reserve system, in this respect, has been that it did not provide this rediscount privilege for the smaller banks, unable to join the reserve sys- tem. The Bank of North Dakota fills this need for the smaller banks of the state. It enables them to loan more money and thereby to accommodate. borrowers who otherwise would be un- able to get loans, although their credit was good. Under the present plan the local bank, by guaranteeing the paper of the borrower, rediscounts it with the Bank of North Dakota, getting its money for 6 per cent. The Bank of North Dakota is protected by the.guar- anty of the local bank as well as by the note and security of the original bor- rower. With only a start made in the rediscount business, ‘approximately $500,000 has been loaned, but this branch of the bank’s business is due to be increased greatly in future years. Besides the services rendered to farmers and to .banks the Bank of North Dakota is rendering daily serv- ice to the state of North Dakota, both in its ordinary business and in its in- dustrial program. As with most other states, the bulk of North Dakota’s state tax collections are received -about the middle of March. Because the state fiscal year begins some months before taxes are received there is always a period dur- ing which state finances run low. The resources of the Bank of North Da- kota are enabling the state to bridge this period with safety and conven- ience. It is not the intention of the indus- trial commission of North Dakota to use the funds of the Bank of North Dakota’ as their main reliance in financing the industrial program of the state. Bond sales are relied upon to provide funds for the construction and operation of flov.:' mills, terminal elevators and other industrial units. But in case it should be needed, the Bank of North Dakota is standing be- hind the rest of the industrial pro- gram, ready to supply funds as they may be required. The fact that North Dakota has its own funds, to which it may turn if they are needed, seems likely to prevent any disposition to make the state meet .nreasonable terms. The Bank of North Dakota, in this respect, is like the gun hung over the fireplace in the pioneer’s cabin, not likely to be used, but its very presence commands respect and makes its use unnecessary. Pages more might be written about the various incidental services that the Bank of North Dakota is render- ing. - Through its bulletins the bank is performing a valuable service in ‘collecting and giving out information. as to crop prospects and conditions. The bank is also becoming a big in- fluence in the movement for diversified farming—more corn and stock. Private bankers have preached di- versified farming in North Dakota for years. Farmers have been suspicious of the teaching, having had reason enough, in many instances, to be sus- picious of the teachers. But they rec- ognize that the Bank of North Da- kota has no private axe to grind and they are accepting the suggestions of the state bank and of the farmers in the state government, to the end that North Dakota may be made a better and more prosperous state, both by the adoption of better farming methods and by elimination of private profiteer- ing at the expense of the farmer. -Real Hail Insurance at Minimum Cost (Continued from page 5) reduction of operating expense has been made possible by the large amount of business handled and by economical administration. The expense of administration of private companies in North Dakota has run ordinarily from 30 to 35 per cent of the premiums collected, ac- cording to S. A. Olsness, commissioner - of insurance. - Commissions, advertis- ing and high salaries paid company executives account in large measure for this high figure. The expense:of administration, un- der the old 1911 hail insurance law of North Dakota, ran to 10 per cent. This was mainly because such a pro- portionately small amount of business was done. Under the compulsory plan of hail insurance in the province of Saskatch- ewan, Can., in the last year, the ex- pense of administration was 4.52 per cent for 1918, the last year reported. Under the present North Dako- ta law the 1919 expense of admin- - istration was only 2,17 per cent, th{s lowest on the continent.. _ ing. : - PAGE FOURTEEN 4 " Although the North Dakota hail in- surance law was a big success in 1919, an even greater success is anticipated in 1920. League enemies were busy in 1919, pointing to the failure of the old system of hail insurance, prophesying that the cost of hail insurance would be 50 cents an acre and urging farm- ers to withdraw their lands. In sev- eral counties 50 per cent of the tilled land was withdrawn as the result of these false representations. Many of the farmers who withdrew suffered total losses. They have seen - their neighbors, who suffered like losses, _paid in full from the state fund; they have seen that the assessment was only half what League enemies pre- dicted and it is safe to say there will be practically no withdrawals another year. - % Minor amendments to the law, to make it still more workable, are being considered by the special session of ‘the North Dakota legislature as this is written, but the main principles of the law will be kept unchanged. They have been tested and not found want- - THE NATION America’s Foremost Liberal Weekly All true Americans—all be- lievers in actual government of the people, by the people and for the people—should read THE NATION regularly during these trying times of reconstruction.
