Stubble Burning.

Winnipeg Farmer: There is very
general comment among all who have
tried it, that to burn stubble in the
spring. wherever that is possible, and
seed on the land as soon as is possible
after that has been done is very good
practice here. Mr.. Bobier at Moosomin,
has burnt for three years and never
plowed in that time and explains how
it can be done with the least difficulty.
To prevent the fire from going further
than is wanted he starts to burn small
strip against the wind by scattering a
little straw over it. He then goes to
the windward end and scatters an even
coat of straw along the even end, being
careful to fire it only in the middle Of a
very windy day, and not too early in
the spring. A proportion of the foul
seeds have got started before this. is
done, they get scorched, and as the
grain is seeded in with the drill and
starts very evenly, it keeps ahead OF
any weeds that may still happen to
spring there. He summer fallowed
very thoroughly in 1887; had wheat
crop Of thirty-six bushels in 1sss;burnt
over on April II, 1889; and had eight
cen bushels in that very dry year. The
shortness of the stubble compelled him
to cut very low, and as burning such
stubble was out of the question, he
drilled in oats, making sixty-fiye bush
els. This crop he will be glad enough
to show to any one, and he thinks it il
quite good enough for him, though the
land has not been turned since 1887.

AN HONEST FARMER
Gives the Republican State Com
rnittee a Few Pointers on
"Why North Da''-:ota Farmers
Should be Republicans"

Fargo Forum: INKsTER, N ID. Mar.
13.-The Republican State Central
committee is offering prize Of $50 to
the farmer writing the best article set
ting forth reasons why North Dakota
wheat raiser should vote for the candi-
dates Of the party of high tariff. If a
practical farmer can be found in our
state willing to even admit the author
ship of such paper,it will have value
aside from the $50 as going to show how
completely Il man may be blinded by
prejudice and it will be used as text
by radicals years hence. The writer Of
this prize letter need not touch on the
''beauties" Of our home market. The
farmers understand how the foreign
market fixes the price of all the wheat
we sell no matter when it is consumed.
Mr. WaShburn. one of the best author
tiles on the subject, said that if it had
not been for the shortage in Europe,
last years big crop would have been q
disaster instead OF a blessing to North
Dakota, as the price would not have
covered the cost OF production. We
hear of what a large percentage is con-
sumed at home, but we know the far
mers themselves and those in no way
benefited by the tariff taxes consume
80 per cent Of it. The fact, now we'll
established that American manufact-
urers export their products to foreign
countries and there successfully meet
all competitors proves that even free
trade need not stop a wheel in any vi
our home mills.
Let the farmers who come forward to
compete for the $50 prize take this fact
into consideration. For thirty years the
republican party has promoted a system
of burdensome taxation for the sole
purpose of protecting Eastern manu-
facturers from competition. But all
the time onr government has said to
men of every civilized country ''come
to America and go into competition
with our farmers. A farm will be given
to you if you will come. We offer a
prize Of a half section of land to any
one who will compete with our farm
ers." There is no use telling US that
the foreigner pays the tariff OF that
prices are not increased by the tariff, or
that the tariff is not tax. The removal
of the tariff on sugar did much to knock
out these fine theories and convince us
that the tariff is tax. Two years ago
was a republican. never sought an
Office and am no disappointed kicker.
I simply Set my prejudice aside and
looked at this tariff question fairly. AS
a result 1 have left Metropolitan party
for good. Whether I will vote Demo.
cratic, join the third party or take tc
the woods is as yet an unsolved problem
I have, however, the satisfaction o1
knowing that I am travelling with a bic
crowd, for there are plenty like me in
North Dakota. j. G. BARNES.

THE TVyQNE TRUST,


THE TvyqNE TRUST.
The deep laid plot to fleece the
farmers which has been incubating
and developing during the past few
years is becoming more apparent
every day. BY the formation of the
trust the purpose was to drive out of
competition our home grown mater
ial of hemp and flax for the manu-
facture of binding twine, by con-
trolling the markets through which
should only pass the imported pro-
duct. The Satanic brazonry of the
scheme is in the attempt to use the
farmers themselves in manner by
which to enforce their plans. BY an
unlimited amount of 'sfat' capital
the National Cordage Concern un
dertook to buy up all the mills and
machinery which to produce the
cordagc not only, but to own all the
farmers stores, state agents of the
Alliances and the Alliance leaders
themselves and their newspapers.
The magnitude Of the scheme can
only be realized in measure when
it is known that the "capital" was
only limited to the capacity of the
printing press to turn out the stocks
or bonds which could be placed in
exchange for the stores in the hands
Of the vulnerable people with the
smaller holdings Of the farmers trade
facilities. The weakness of the trust
has been its effort to serve two mas
ters. To sell its stocks in Wall St.,
the corporation has tried to make it
appear that the twine business is
very profitable and that the divi-
| ucuoo dlc 1dl Se.
AS a. field ir which to dispose of
a watered stock these Wall Street
pastures are usually green and bring
good returns to the sower. The far
mers, the actual consumers of course,
must be led to believe quite the re-
verse. That the trust was formed
for philantrophic purposes and for
their benefit. That they are to share
in the profits and at the same time
receive their twine at reasonable
price.
The Superintendent of the Census
at Washington, has issued bulletin
on hemp production, which shows
that the total area of land devoted
to hemp in the United States in 's9,
was 25,O54 acres and the production
of fibre l1,511 tons valued at ST.
lo2,6o2. The average yield per acre
is 1929 pounds, and the average
value per acre $44.O1 or $95.79 per
ton. Kentucky procuced 93.77 of
the total hemp crop of the country
Illinois produced 4.s3 per cent, and
the remaining six states from which
hemp was reported had an aggregate
yield of only 161 tons. Although
the crop of 1889 was nearly double
that Of 1879, hemp production is re.
garded by those engaged in it as
declining industry, condition that
they attribute to foreign competition
and to some extent to their lack Of
improved machinery for breaking
and cleaning the fibre.
It's surprising that country likt

President Diaz to have hf4n restore the

grain until the time originally agreed

The president is considering the mat
ter of placing special tax on all corn
that is allowed to accumulate in Mexico
during the month Of September. This
will force spectators to turn their hold

Now really it is not so DAD in Spoon
after all. Though he has spoken to
the contrary with his mouth, in the
bottom of his heart he las no doubt
felt the truth, and the truth is, that
from purely political standpoint
Spoon owes more to CUtfey than he
does TO Democracy. For it was
Guilty., principally, that gave him
the diverse and sundry offices he has
held in this county. 1t is true that
Cuffty charged Spoon for his "hu-
ence," but Spoon was bOodler and
had the staff and let It go and bought
votes. But the first time Democracy
got Il fair, squsre lick at Billy was
two years ago, when be submitted his
claims 10 Democratic primaries, and
Buck Howard knocked hIm out on
the first round. II would be unreas-
orabIe therefore to expect Billy TO
risk his political fortunes to Demo-
Gratis again. 1t is to Cutfey and
Doodle that he has appealed as the
friends OF days of yOre.
