Manitoba, was the next speaker. His
address was a rich one and thorough
" delighted the audience. He possess.
es q very nimble wit, and kept the au-
dience in roars Of laughter. His re-
marks were along the same lines as
those Of Prof .Waldron land he urged
the farmers present not to disregard
the facts brought out by the college
professors, but to take home their sug-
gestions and experiment and profit
thereby. The agriculturist, he claimed,
was not keeping pace with the other
professions. He then gave some inter-
esting facts as to seed termination and
the effect it had on terminating
wheat.
Wednesday's Session.
Supt. Gregg, vice president, presided
during the morning session. The en-
thusiasm Of the farmers in attendance
wholly crowded out the latter part Of
the programme arranged by the CONF
mittee. The most practical feature OF
the session, looking to permanent re-
suits, was a resolution offered by N.
P. Rasmussen, ex-railroad commission
er, for the appointment Of a committee
Of nine members to report a permanent
organization of the grain growers Of
the Northwest.
Thomas Harrison spoke on barley
hay as feed for work horses. Papers
for a $25 prize on "How to Make the
Farm Pay were read by G. A. Fuller
Of Warren, MIMI, and w. F House OF
Richland county.
Prof. Bolley, Of the North Dakota
experiment station, discussed Potato
Scab." Prof. Bolley's Investigations
in this line for Graduating scab are
said, by Supt. Wegg, to be worth all
the experimental stations in the United
States have cost.
Mayor Johnson appointed a commit
tee of nine to arrange for a permanent
organization. Three members Of thu
committee are from Minnesota, Nortf
Dakota and South Dakota, and
~tri-state grain growers association
may he formed, with a possibility o
Manitoba coming in, and including al
the hard wheat country.

WHAT DO.

The renter in the East expands his
energies for others. To occupy and be-
gin the cultivation of q free North Da-
kota homestead means the creation at
once Of a property worth $1,000 or
more, and every year thereafter the
equivalent of a laboring mans wages
back East will be added to the value
Of the farm. Are you living on a rent
ed farm back East? Have you teams
and farming implements? By all means
come to North Dakota and get a farm
Of your own, and in a few years time
you can become worth more money
than you "a make in a lifetime where
you are now. The improvements you
make on a farm will be your own.
All farmers with large families and
moderate means can do better in this
country than in any region in the
United States. Those who have a mort
gagged home East had better sell and
come West and buy anew on what they
can save out Of the wreck. Any young
farmer who controls from $500 to $1,000
can grow into independence here.
Those who have stock and machinery,
but no land, can come here and rent
land and buy a home from the profits
Of the first season. Quarter sections,
100 acres, now owned by mortgage
companies, can be had Mt from $3.50 to
$1,000, often on time. They are worth
$4,000. One crop will more than pay
for the land. The land costs less thar
the rental for one year in the Eastern
states. The Industrious and sober mer
are the aristocrats Of North Dakota
They become the men of wealth an(
standing. The only classes here are the
thrifty and shiftless; the state is con
trolled by the former.-Fargo Record

SOIL MOST FRUITFUL,
Ready for the T1ller and His
Friends for Generations
to Come.
RICHNESS OF AGES LAID AWAY.
North Dakota Has Advantages All
It's Own for Certain Lines OF
Agricultural Productions.

Aside from the physical and chemt-
cal character of the soil, the vegetable
productions depend upon moisture,
heat and light. BY virtue of the law
of compensation, a partial deficiency
in any Of these is overcome by u re-
action Of the plants themselves to-
ward a habit of growth that still in
sures their success. And, moreover,
the regions Of high latitude, though
lacking in the yearly aggregate
amount Of heat, allow a larger per-
centage of light during the growing
season.
The land of short seasons is also
that Of long summer days, which, for
agricultural purposes, may outyalue
the former.
Abundant light makes plants dwarf
and stocky. Dwarfing produces fruit
fulness. The conclusion is easily drawn
and is practically borne out IN every
hand, while abundant light makes
plants dwarf and fruitful, it also
causes a rapid growth. Plants grown
rapidly are tender and have delicate
flavors. Carrots, turnips, parsnips,
radishes or celery, grown slow, are
stringy in texture and rank in flavor.
a high temperature also favors a rap
i'd growth. Like other regions In the
interior Of continents, North Dakota
has a high summer temperature. This,
with the long hours Of sunlight, rem
ders plants very active, and the result
of the activity is seen in the unusually
large percentage Of starch, gluten,
protein and other nutritive clements
found in the plants Of this region. A
greater rainfall in the western part OF
the state would give a heavier yield
of grass, but at the expense, no doubt,
of the present high nutritive value,
which is almost exactly so per cent
more than of similar species grown In
the Middle states.*
The rainfall of that part Of the state
east of the Tooth parallel Is more than
twenty inches, ranging to twenty
three inches in the Red River valley.
AS this falls upon land that is nearly
or perfectly level. and possessing q soil
very retentive of moisture, and fur
Their, as the greater AMOUNT comes
through the growing season, particu-
larly in the spring, the quantity in gen.
eral is quite sufficient.
From the conditions enumerated,
then, it will be seen that this region
has advantages all its OWE for certain
lines of agricultural productions. The
grass family is decidedly at home
here. For thousands Of years the wide
expanse of plain and majestic sweep
of hill and valley, have yielded their
successive generations Of the four
score or more native grasses, and the
soil thus enriched is eminently fitted
to yield abundantly Of the grasses that
man, in the past, has especially select
ed for his needs, the barley, oat and
wheat.
The Dickinson press., 1899-05-13

ter inspection Of wheat and excessive
freight rates was hardly fair, - the
blame lies largely with the wheat
growers themselves for failure to clean
their wheat properly before shipment,
and for sending tons Of good cattle
feed to Eastern terminals, for which
they received no pay, but, in addition,
paid high freight rates. His investdgae
lions had shown that there were thou
sands Of tons Of feed shipped into this
country annually and paid for Mt q
high rate. He advocated feeding re-
fuse grain to the cattle, and shipping
cattle at 5 per cent Of the cost, rather
than cheap wheat at 20 per cent Of its
value. His figures on live stock
showed q decrease for the last six
years in number, with a corresponding
increase in price, and foretold a future
of prosperity for the farmer who in
vested in cattle and combined the IL.
dustry, intelligently, with wheat rails
ing.
Vice President Gregg spoke on cat
tie feeding. and the relative values Of
corn in the shock and oat hay.
Prof. Hayes, of the Minnesota exper-
fment station, followed on the subject
of, "Crop Rotation" This interesting
subject was handled in q mastery man
ner, and evoked much discussion from
the participants in the convention.
Fodder Corn.
Wednesday night the first address
was by E. G. Childs Of Crookston, who
Is a very we'll known dairyman and
farmer. He gave an interesting half
hour lecture on Fodder Corn,' and
his experiences and comparisons in
feeding dry corn and ensilage. His e1.
periments have been carried on in q
very scientific manner and are Of much
value.
Prof. Waldron was next introduced,
and gave an address on "What It Costs
to Grow Weeds in North Dakota" His
statement was that the cost was 81 an
acre, which means millions of dollars
to the people Of the state. He stated
that as wheat was only so cents per
bushel, some might dispute his claim,
because there were scarcely ever two
bushels Of seeds to the acre n the
amount Of wheat harvested. This, he
thought, was the smallest item.
The weed takes up the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash from the
earth. A ton of weeds contains enough
vi SASoNS - AALA III pAOpCA 1
to bring owe $12. With a quarter of q
ton of weeds to the acre the loss would
be So.
The weeds absorb so much moisture
that q dirty crop would be damaged at
least one-fourth by decreased yield.
They were usually of larger foliage
than the wheat plant, and deprived the
latter of light.
All these cause a loss Of at least one.
fourth Of the wheat crop, in a weedy
field, with d~eteriorated grades and ex.
cess dockage.
The weeds also cause the wheat to
run out, and in a few years the plant
would return to it's original condition
as wild grass.
Most Of the seeds are annual, and the
full trouble would begin when the per.
ennial weeds get firmly established
here.

The topography Of North Dakota,
especially that of the eastern 10000
square miles, assigns it to the first
classification; and while it's great, lev
ell areas are generous as soil may be,
yet there is no suspicion of wasteful-
ness, and the rich heritage of earlier
ages is conserved and held in place so
surely and completely that centuries
may pass and leave the region still
fruitful and productive.

Western farmers on cheap lands

Our climate is the most healthfud on
earth. Spring is cool and moist; sum-
mer moderate, nights always cool; fall
is an even temperature and a most de-
lightful season of the year; winter is
cold, but the atmosphere is very dry,
and the cold is not felt as in most eli
