A large number of cultivation ex.
periments with small grain will be
made this summer to determine the
effects of various forms of cultivation
upon the yield of grain. Cultivation
produces a mulch or dust blanket
which prevents to large extent the
evaporation of the water in the soil
The soils of North Dakota possess
enough of fertility to assure the pro
duction of maximum crops if only
they are given suitable tillage, a till
age that is capable of controlling the
supply of water, and conserving it il
the soil to be utilized by the growing
crop.
This year the agricultural depart
ment will have about one hundred
varieties of flax in the variety con
test this summer. Few people realiz,
the great difference which exists be
tween the various strains. OF thi
great number only few of the bes
strains will be kept for future work
the poorer ones being discarded.

THE BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION
Actual Experiences Of North Dakota Farmers
Who Have Tried Irrigation
At an Expense Of S. an Acre for Water the
Yields Are Quadrupled

Williston Graphic 9Th: On January
IA, 1905, the reclamation service re.
quested some thirty-five farmers in
North Dakota, who have raised vari-
GUS crops by means of irrigation, to
give it information relative to the re-
suits obtained by them, and in re.
Spouse thereto, the following replies
have been received:
3. M. Atterbery, Williston, N. D.,
raised wheat and oats. He irrigated
5 acres Of wheat and raised SO bushels
to the acre at a cost of So per acre.
He valued his crop at $3S per acre.
He irrigated by flooding, the first irri-
cation being June 18th. Water was
obtained from the spring rains and
melting snow.
Twenty acres of oats were irrigated
by Mr.. Atterbury and he secured 60
bushels to the acre. His cost was the
same as for his wheat, SO per acre,
and the value of his crop $24 per
acre. He had oats on ground not
irrigated and states the average yield
from this ground was only 6 to 8
bushels. This shows the value of
irrigation. He irrigated by flooding,
his first irrigation being June LIST.
r. A. Jones, Buford, N. D., had 8
acres Of wheat and raised 80 bushels
per acre. 1t costs him So per acre
and he valued his crop at $1S per acre.
His average yield on non-irrigated
land was 10 bushels per acre, or one
third Of that secured through irriga-
ton He irrigated by flooding, CON-
mencing June 9Th. He gave his land
two irrigaticns, more water being
used In June and July than at any
other time. Mr.. Jones depends upon
melted snow and rain for his water
supply. and he usually gets from two

It is one Of the most dastardly muir
ders that have ever been committed
in this part Of the country. but no
arrests have been made yet as the
shot was fired through the window.
Ante morten statement made by
Cannon just before he died named a
party said to be guilty and further
bloodshed is feared. Great excitement
prevails. Deceased was at one time a
noted frontier character.

Curious Paradox About Hands,

It is a curious paradox that. as a
rule, the large handed man loves small
things, details, exquisitely finished OBJ
jects and is microscopic in his tenden-
cies, while he whose hands are small
delights in colossi of every sort, low
ing ostentation and display, immense
houses, majestic estates and all else
that is upon a great scale. His hand
writing is large and perhaps full OF
fourishes, while that Of the large hand
ed man is small and precise.

to five days run of water from a
coulee
Seven acres were planted to oats
by Mr.. Jones, and he raised 40 bushels
to the acre. 1t cost him about So per
acre and the value of his crop was
$24. On non-irrigated land he could
only raise about 20 bushels to the
acre.
Mr.. Jones' hay crop was secured
from 40 acres of land. The crop aver
aged 21a tons to the acre and was
valued at SLIPS per acre. The aver
age yield on non-irrigated land was
less than one half a ton per acre.
Fred Figley Of Buford, had 10 acres
of irrigated land in millet; the crop
yielding 8 tons to the acre. It cost
him $1.75 per acre to raise, and the
crop brought him SIS per acre. Mr..
Ffgley had 10 acres in hay from
which he secured 20 tons; the value
of which was 81 per ton. The aver
age yield On non-irrigated land was
less than one half a ton per acre.
Sweetman Bros, Mondak, Montana,
had 40 acres in oats; the yield being
SO bushels per acre. On non-irrigated
land they were only able to raise 10
bushels to the acre; showing conclus-
lively that the amount spent in irri-
eating the land was we'll invested.
D. Kerr of Buford, was another sue
cessful raiser Of oats on irrigated
land. On 10 acres he secured 60
bushels to the acre, and states the
value OF the crop was $50 per acre.
His average yield on non.irrigated
land was z bushels to the acre, which
again demonstrates that irrigation is
necessary in North Dakota if the
farmer really desires to make the
most Of his land. @ III. ~
