a report published in the Manila

Whitmarsh, author Of The Worlds

tured or killed, as he had not been

absolutely unfounded; it has received
letters from Mr. Whitmarsh at more
recent date than the report; these let

accounts of events and engagements
witnessed by Mr.. Whitmarsh during

Sioux Falls Press and found that they
had used nearly two columns Of space
trying to prove. that Pettigrew is a
patriot. To those who know the
utter selfishness of the man the lab
ored argument of the Press comes
filled with rare humor.
With no intention of being in any
way personal, writer wishes to remark
that the man who considers every
question, both public and private,
from personal standpoint, that is,
whether or not any personal benefit is
going to accrue to himself, is of very
little use to community, and when
he goes to heaven he will be so en-
tirely out of his element that any
place he may find there will, through
the action of his own selfishness, be-
come hell for him. True it is that
this is selfish world and every man
is supposed to look out for himself,
but we would all be better and hap
pier if we occasionally threw off our
outer shell of selfishness and allowed
some consideration besides that of
dollars and cents to influence our
actions. Try it once neighbor. Re-

Better Wheat.

Prof. Jas. H. Shepard, Of the U. S.
experiment station of this city, de-
livered an interesting paper before
the Tri-State Grain Growers associa-
tion which assembled at Fargo week
before last. Prof. Shepard's theme
was Increase in Yield" The Mime
apolis Journal in its report of the ad-
dress says:
After reviewing tho main factors
involved, to the great interest and
profit Of his hearers, the professor
made the following deductions:
FirSt-Conserve the soil moisture
by thorough tillage, better blowing
and by plentiful supply of coarse
humus. Humus from stubble and
straw will answer.
Second-Guard against blowing by
a plentiful supply of coarse humus,
and by the use of press drill.
Third-Modify, if possible, the
effect of hot winds by conservation of
soil moisture, and as rapidly as possi-
BILE by plOwing hedge rows and wind
breaks.
Fourth-Provide plentiful supply
VI loOo Oy having du
abundant quantity of decaying humus
rich in nitrogen. That from barn
yard manure, green crops plowed
under or fed off on field is preferred.
Practice crop rotation and keep more
stock. Do not raise weeds. If any
start, plow them under green or feed
them off with sheep. Plow the wheat
field as soon as the crop is removed.
Fifth-Sow pure, graded seed wheat.
Remember that like begets like. Do
not sow weed seeds.
SiXth-Deepen the blowing grad
ually, increasing continue lily the sup
ply Of humus, thus affording more soil
for the use Of the nitrifying bacteria.
When you can find plow better
adapted to our soils, buy it.
Seventh-Prepare a firm seed bed,
mellow on top. Use the harrow more
literally. Sow with the press drill
across the directions of the prevailing
winds
Elghth-Give due heed the forego-
ing details. Do not expect maximum
results by improving in one or two
particulars only, where so many fac
tors are concerned.
