TIME FOR RECREATION.

Office of Agriculture Editor, Extention Department, N. D. Agricultural College, Fargo, N.D.

Eor the natural developement of a hu­man being, work, play, and religious ob­servation are necessary. On the farm the day's work is usually long and when it continues for 6 days in the week there is no time for recreation which results in ita being stolen from Sunday, attend­ing base ball games, etc. The Country Life Committee, which reported at the Tri-State Grain Growers' Convention, urged that this be remedied by making Saturday afternoon a half holiday. The oommittee also urged that the teacher and minister take lead in this recreation. The country life problem is largely a young people's problem. They must be interested in farming and farm life or they, will leave the farm. Time for re­creation and religious life will do much to make the farm a desirable place. The committee also suggested that this Sat­urday afternoon would be a good time for farmers to get .together to consider cooperative enterprise. The committee emphasized the fact that one of the first things to realize is that continuous toil without my let-up is wasteful. The body and mind ctfn never be at their best under such conditions. It has been found in Europe and in the South and East, where the holiday is a common practise, that as much work is done in the days as was formerly done in the six days. In addition it has made it farm life more desirable.

As the Frenchman says, ' It is to laugh," We doubt if any farmer can read the above article through without a broad smile. It is juet another case of a theory boosted by our learned scien tiflc agriculturalists against the solid facts.

The trouble with these learned scien* tists is that they take a lot of warm water and soap and make a mixture and then blow some very beautiful soap-bubbles, which are indeed beautiful but whioh are so fragile that on the slightest

; contact with anything really solid, they disappear into air with scarcely a trace.

Now in the above quotation the soap and water part of the premises of the beautiful theory of reoeation is all right. The idea that recreation Is both useful and necessary is very true. But the notion that North Dakota farmers' would be benefited by observing 6very Satur­day afternoon as a holiday, with the aoinister and the teacher .leaden, la a beautiful aoap^ittbUa.

Thpee same sdentific ̂ ieorists would be 4>leto tall you op-hand that the seaeoa for growing wbAt from seediag to harveat is from 110 to todays. Thai othee oeteak glow «Utl BOM rapidly.

) ground can be cultivated is less than half the year. They also know that in order to grow acrop in this country, that

. the farmer must utilise every possible ; hour during the growing season—and ! sometimes in harvest that a man has | some, if not sufficient,excuse for cutting or threshing on Sunday.

In fact if it was not that nature hns given us many mors hours of daily sun­shine that most other countries get in summer, it is questionable if the farmers could possibly get through with their work. The only people that we know of among the farming class'that would take kindly to the Saturday half-holiday idea would be the hired man. The housewife, —well, it is notorious that her work is never done, winter or summer. There cannot be any Saturday half-holiday for her.

On the other hand, one of the great drawbacks of this country is, that the farmer must do nearly all this work in the summer, and that he has little or no remunerative employment in the winter, Even if he has work in the winter, the short days and long evenings compel that time to be a "recreation" period. We admit that it might be better for our North Dakota farmers if the long winter vacation could be distributed over the Saturday afternoons of the saoimer but that recalls an old story.

Two Irishmen who desired to reach down to the water from a high bridge, formed a living chain, one holding the other by the heals. While in this pos­ition the man at the top felt need of 'recreation." So he shouted to the fellow below, "Howld on Mike, I want to spit on my hands." As we said, recre­ation is a beautiful theory but it will be hard on the crop if the farmer stops every Saturday afternoon "to spit on his hands." That should be attended to at some other time.

Business men of Crystal have sub­scribed funds witn which to continue the Crystal Call. Mr. Minder will look after the business until some one else can be engaged. They have ordered a complete outfit including a cylinder presB. Editor Minder calls the attention of the business men of Crystal to the fact that in order to get a good man to take hold of the Call that they will have to show that man that it is doing a good business, and therefore it will be up to them to give the Call their patronage. Which is not only true for Crystal but for any other small town. Every town of any consequence in this western country feels that it needs a newspaper,' but many of the citizens don't realize the value, until they are likely to lose the one they have. Then they discover that it costs money to run a paper. But the money spent in advertising and job work in a country town is not thown away. First, it supports a family who spend their money in the town and usually one or more employes. Second, the money spent in advertising and job work brings back a profit. Nothing is more certain-ly proven than that advertising pays. To the country business man there is really but one profitable sort of adver­tising, that of the local paper that goes directly into the homes of his customers, present and prospective.

Bill No. 14, that makes Grafton the capital of the Seventh Judical Distnot has passed the house with only ten nega­tive votes. Why not abolish Cavalier altogether? Grafton is far more conven­ient of aooeas than Cavalier to most of the county.

The legislators are getting tired again and take a vacation from Thursday of this week until Tuesday. As this is the second vacation, and aa the legislators are getting paid just the same, perhaps the people will gat allied feeling too.

The war cloud in Turkey Is gathering again. The Balkan allies want the tail (Adrianople) to go with the hide, but the Turin an boldng M to tba tail fbr dsar Ills.
