D.—The financial statement of the Bank of North Dako ta for August 16 shows a-steady im provement in the condition and posi tion of the great people's institution. Not only is it weathering the storm caused by the passage of the I. V. A. initialed laws in the election last No vember, but it is successfully coming thru the period of light tax collec-v tions, is beginning to liquidate its "frozen" funds, as is shown by the real estate mortgages being recorded with the state treasurer. An outstanding feature of the re port is that the amount of registered checks has been reduced despite the slack time just before harvest and with no tax collections, and individ ual deposit* have increased. The assets of the bank ore about the same as last month, totaling $11,145, 356.58. Public deposits total slightly over $8,000,000 while individual de posits is executed by the officials of the bank when the crop money starts to move as farmers and others in ev ery section of the state have signi fied their intention of transferring their accounts from the private banks to the Bank of North Dakota this fall. The statement shows that the Bank ofvNorth Dakota has a total of $2, 406,137.99 deposited in banks in North Dakota while only $49,832.74 is kept on deposit in correspondent banks out side the state to take care of drafts. "The present strong condition of the Bank proves that, but for the passage of the I. V. A. initiated laws and the eternal sabotaging of the State's credit by the, I. V. A. bank ers and bosses, the Bank of North Da kota would by now have had the State's financial condition in splendid shape and would have been able to render much aid to the drought-strick en farmers of the middle and western counties" said state officials comment ing on the bank statement. "The moral of this statement is: Be sure and vote against all the laws, constitutional amendments and meas ures initiated by the I. V. A. bank ers and bosses to be voted on in the coming recall election, for all these measures are intended to cripple and finally 'turn the key in the door of the Bank of North Dakota."' "Another thing indirectly connected with this report It is known that cer tain I. V. A. bankers and bosses have been feeling out certain outside finan ciers to see if these financiers would back them in attempting to close the Bank of North Dakota by a Receiver ship in case the I. V. A. Knockers were beaten, as they will be, in the recall election. The report has it that the outsiders promptly declined to be parties to any such traitorous attack on the people of North Dakota, but this incident proves that there is noth ing that the I. V. A. machine will stop at in their rule or ruin policy" COLLECT DATA ON "HOGGING OFF" CORN age will be available to the hog rais er ,as the result of "hogging off' tri als being run in the cornfields at the Agricultural Experiment Station. One cornfield on the station farm has been divided into several sections by means of movable wire fences. A lot of 100-pound pigs were turned into one section and allowed to eat the corn and stalks, while in another sec tion, a second lot of 100 pound pigs are given tankage in addition to their diet of corn. The tankage is fed on a self feeder, and the pigs given as much as they will eat. A similar test is4eing made on 50 pound pigs. Meth od s^of finishing this weight pig also are being studied, as it is too light for the market by the time the cold weather usually ends the "hogging off" process. The movable fences are so arranged that the pigs are given the range of only a small strip of each section at one time. As the corn on one strip is, cleaned up. the fence is moved back md the pigs given the run of another strip. This method will prevent waste of corn that tinder the usual method would have been partly eaten when cold weather makes it necessary to take the pig? to the feed lot.. 71 "V GOSPEL MEETINGS Gospel meetings are being held in the Methodist Church at Bottineau ev ery rireqing (except Saturday) ~at 8 P.

The oats yield was very light, 16.95 bushels caused by the seed having been blown out soon after seeding. The barley (N. D. No. 871) yielded 16.2 bushels to the acre. The demdnstration farm is cropped in a six-year rotation, four years to small grain, one to corn, and one to grass. The largest wheat crop secured from the farm was 34.92 bushels in 1915. Th. T.

Attorney General William Lemke is perfecting plans for a thoro scrutiny of the recall petition signatures as many complaints of il legal signers have reached his office. The people who want justice done in this matter can greatly aid the attor ney general by investigating the sign ers of the petitions in their respective communities. If it is found that persons not legal voters, or who did not vote at the elec tion last fall, have signed the peti tions such eases should be reported to the attorney general. The attorney general promises that the names of all recall petition sign ers will be published. Reports re ceived by Attorney General Lemke leads him to believe that the petitions contain thousands of illegal signa tures. It is his intention to expose these irregularities and take the legal steps warranted by such disclosures. Everybody knowing of persons singing petitions who were not quali fied to do so is urged to communicate with the attorney general's office at once.

B. Aamodt, Bottineau, N. D. j[ Dear Mr. Aamodt: Xa I have your letter of August 11th, with reference to the action to be tak en in the cases of seied loan failures. We have prepared blanks for use in such cases and I am sending you a number of these under separate cover. The borrower should execute the af fidavit of failure a|id then should have two of his neighbors execute the corroborative affidavit. After approv al by you, the whole form should be sent to me for final action. These af fidavits should be executed in dupli cate and both copies sent here. After we have acted on the request, one copy will be returned to the borrower. This does not relieve the borrower from the obligation, but will be evidence of his in ability to pay the note on No vember 1, and the Department will carry the' note without further request from him, permitting him to make payment when he is able in the future. The Department has no authority to cancel seed loans, even though the borrower has a total crop failure. Very truly yours, C. W. Warburton, Agronomist in charge of Seel Loan Office. MANY FARMERS SIGN UP Fargo, N. D.—The U. S. Grain Growers, during the past week, have been working in Foster, Eddy Welsh and Benson counties and meeting with very encouraging success. At Pingree 78 out of 87 farmers signed contracts with the U. S. Grain Growers. Farm ers are told directly that for the pres ent, the only means of finance of fered by the U. S. Grain Growers is an advance of 75 per cent of the local price for grain .obtained by draft drawn on Bill of Lading. The grain is shipped either to Duluth, Superior or Minneapolis and should be billed to the U. S. Grain Growers at either of those points, in care of the Equity Ex change. The balance of the 25 per cent will be paid the elevator or association as soon as the car is sold. Elevator agents who receive U. S. Grain Grow ers' grain should issue a storage tick et, marking the same, both on the tick et and on the stub—"G.G." This meth od will be followed until the new books are installed. Some points find this method cumbersome but about fifty points are working jt-successfully. With the cooperatioh of the elevator manager and the local bank, this plan of finance can meet requirements un til the U. S. Grain Growers are able to pay 100 per cent at time of deliv ery but in the meantime, we ask the cooperation of every farmer to see us through the formative period of an organization that belongs to him and nobody else.

SURVEY OF LIVESTOCK IN COUNTY NOW BEING MADE Grand Forks, N. D. Aug. 28,—One of the first steps in the Better Sires campaign which is being carried on in Grand Forks county by the Farm Bu reau is a livestock survey to show the total number of purebred animals of different kinds and breeds and the to tal number of grade animals that are being used for breeding purposes in the county. Another phase is the campaign to have tuberculin tests made and a herd must be tested for two successive years without any animals giving a positive reaction during that period. Eighteen herds have already been tested in the county.

We are indebted to John Skel ton Williams, former Comptroller of the Currency, for enlightening the country as to the inwardness and workings of the Federal Reserve Banking System as now carried out by 7 men, who have charge of our money and credit, who have the power to in flate and .contract at will and without regard to the Government, the cur rency of this country, the very blood of our national life, the circulating medium of exchange upon which all the business of the people of the country depends. We have recently witnessed the methods pursued under the guidance of these uncontrolled guardians of our money for further enslaving the peo ple of the country. Having inflated the currency until the dollar is worth about 40 cents, the Government pro ceeds to borrow $24,000,000,000 to help pay the expenses of a great world war. The real value of these dollars was not to exceed $12,000,000,000 in the purchasing power under normal conditions. The same parties, the same Washington, D. C. August 19. Hon. Charles A.

By the process of unnatural deflation forced through according to former Comptroller Wil liams, the people lost $43,000,000,000. The losses were as follows: Farm losses 1919 $ 6,000,000,000 Farm Losses 1920 12,000,000000 Losses to manufactur ers due to curtailed production and clos ing of plants 10,000,000,000 Loss to wage earners thru wage reduction and unemployment 10,000,000,000 Loss to other business and industry 5,000,000,000 this year are only 13 per cent above the prewar 1913 prices while clothing is 80 percent above, lumber and build ing material 102 per cent and house furnishings 150 per cent above the pre war 1913 prices.

This will make a more uniform exhibit and a better display. She also suggests that canned corn should be prepared both on and off the cob and that the date (month and year) of canning and kind of fruit or vegetables should be shown by a plain label on each can. Mrs. Johnston states further that a prize for the best collection of wild fruits, preserves, jellies, etc. will be consid ered for 1922. This is timely advice and will be of interest to those women who plan on preparing their exhibits for next year's fair. There is some talk among livestock men of holding a Livestock Show and Sale sometime this fall. There are many fine animals raised in Bottineau County and a sale will afford a good chance for buyers to get some good stock right at home. In the purchas ing of livestock "distance lends en chantment" as in other things, but, sometimes the enchantment soon wears off the buyer who pays long prices by sending away to outside breeders when he could have pur chased better animals for less money at home. We hope that a good Show and Sale can be arranged and staged. Charles Whitteron is the proud pos sessor of Secret Sex a fine young roan Lexoscluny bull purchased from Duncan Beaton.

The Leveille's have made a great many fHends in Bottineau and we are all sorry to see them leave but also ralize that the new field at Hartford, really holds something worth while for them. ifi v) ft J* iA -JV •xfc' u "'•S' «, •HI .r ±1 I 1
