Hayward, Wis, Jan. 17.-Joe Buck
wheat AN Indian, and Joe Lebouff, a
Canadian Frenchman, are under ar
rest here charged with having at
tempted to burn man to death near
Winters, this county. Buckwheat and

struggling to get back its lost vigor.
But with crop failures came hard
times for the farmers and the work of
the loan companies.
The farmers turned to dairying and
now that land is yielding bigger in
comes than 1t did when it was pro-
ducing Its biggest wheat crops. The
impoverished condition of the farmers
OF the south who have depended en-
tirely upon one crop farming, was
cited as another instance where the
vitality of the soil is exhausted by
taking all and giving nothing. He ad-
tvocated rotation that would give
more nitrogen to the soil and at the
same time prevent the fouling of the
land by weeds which adopt them
selves to the particular crop, growing
and ripening with 1t and then spread
ing the seeds every year. Rotation
OF crops, especially of alfalfa, was not
only restoring these lands but is maxi
Ing money for the owners while it
Is being DONE
He condensed the advantages of
rotation under the following terse
heads:
1t avoids summer following.
1t distributes the farm labor over
the entire year instead of having it
all In a bunch, and thus largely solves
the question of farm labor.
BY the special vitality put in the soil
by rotation, bigger crops of wheat are
grown in the wheat years.
1t gets rid of many weeds which
adapt their life and seedtime to the
crops with which they grow.

DICKINSON MANS
INTERESTING
INTERVIEW
In An Interview With An
Evening Times Re-
porter.

The Evening Times representative
met Hon. B. Lepper, big farmer and
rancher from Dickinson while at the
Tri-State convention Tuesday, and for
more than an nour he discussed the
present and past conditions and future
prospects of the Missouri slope. He
said,
Il have lived in that country for
seventeen years and an pretty well ac-
Quainted with its conditions, and
know its past as well, and judging
from these, am confident there Is no
part of the state with such a bright
future before 1t. know when say
this, that the territory around Dickin-
son is regarded as worthless by many
people in the eastern part of the state
But 1t has been artificial conditions
and Misrepresentation that have pro-
duced this feeling. You will be told
that the territory is dry, and there has
been slight foundation for this.
The vast stretches of wild land
west of us have been the scene of vast
prairie fires for years, and this con-
stant burning of the grass has left
the prairies barren and as result
they have been dry. Now as the terri
tory speak of has been settled and
broken these fires are far less fre-
qdent and in a short time will cease
entirely, and our moisture will then
be conserved so that the term dry will
no longer apply.
"sWe have one of the finest soils in
the state and 1t is producing Just as
good crops as any other where 1t re-
ce1ves the proper cultivation. But
many OF our people do not realize the
Importance of good farming, and they
are simply putting the seed on the
ground and depending upon nature to
do the work. They do not plow the
land, simply disc and then have it har-
rowed by q boy barely able to drive
the team but entirely unable to lift
the harrow to clean 1t Of weeds and
other hlth. Great patches have the
seed leftson the ground, and the crops
are correspondingly poor. This IL
what leaves the impression that the
country sis dry. But where the land
iis properly ploMed and the proper seed
bed is formed, there are mo better
crops raised In the state. ~. sa
But even with the careless farming
which the land gets our people are
satisfied because they are making
much more money than they did before
they came to North Dakota.

tirely given ever to SEAnching, but q

FRENCH OPINION ON
ALGEEIRAS CONFERENCE

a. X ~ r. y . u i ~
Paris, Jan. II. Public opinion
is greatly divided relative to the
probable result Of the Algeciras
conference. The diplomats are
more inclined to take an opti-
mistic view, believing that the
delegates will reach a definite
conclusion by means Of mutual
concessions. 1t is stated in Off
ctaI 4 quarters that France will
stand firm relative to her prepon-
!, derating influence in the sultan's
dominiops, while at the same time
respecting his sovereignty. There
is an inclination toward the adop-
ton OF the most liberal view Of the
commercial rights of other powers
and 1t is hoped to thus secure a !
definite settlement of the whole
question.

LYMAN ABBOTT ON
 MODERN POLITICS
REFERS TO TAFT AND ROOT AS THE MEN WHO ARE DOING CHRlST'S WORK IN THE WORLD.

New Haven, Conn, October 21.-Fraise for Secretary Taft and Secretary Root as men who are doing Christ's work in the world, formed part of a sermon by Rev Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York before the Yale students at Battle chapel today. Dr. Abbott did not mention the name of either, but referred to one who had gone "To Cuba and brought order out of chaos" and to the other as one who had Made a journey through South America, harmonizing the north with the south" He also referred to the political campaign now on in New York state. He said At the present time there Is a great discussion in my state over the differences between the trust and the free competi- tion movement. There is great desire to break down the combinations. Both sides are wrong. The evil is not in the com- binations: it is not in the free competition.
 "The cause of the difficulty Is much the same as in the old parable-each has too much to do for itself to be ruler over the rest. Such men as Jones of Minneapolis Folk of Missouri and Jerome of New York are each saying to me there is a way in which this country can be ruled along lines of righteousness and peace. When one of our great statesmen went to Cuba and brought out of chaos; when one of our rich men left the pursuit of for tune and went into government work and made a journey through the states of South America harmonizing the north with the south. that was the work of Christ on earth"
