PRES. WORST EXPLAINS
WHEAT TEST SITUATION

Fargo Forum: As announced in The
Forum last night, the experiments to
have been made with wheats to deter
mine their relative milling and baking
values will have to be postponed for
want Of funds. and alrady the disap-
pOintment of many interested farmers
Is being made known.
In an interview this afternoon Pres
ident Worst of the agricultural college
had the following to say concerning
the matter: -
"a law was passed at the last SEES
sion of the legislature directing the
experiment station to make the exper-
iments with view of ascertainng
scientifically the relative value of the
different grades of North Dakota
wheats. but no appropriation was made
for installing the machinery or for per-
forming the labor. The college, how
ever. acted in good faith and expended
over $4,000 for the necessary machin-
cry. but found it impossible to install
the machinery in the attic of the chem
tcal laboratory as at first proposed.
The machinery proved to be so heavy
that 1t would endanger the building.
The state emergency board was APP
pealed to for authority to enclose the
large court in the rear of the chemical
building which would afford excellent
accommodations for the machinery and
for making the baking tests, at an ex-
pense of about $500. The emergency
board took the matter under advise

ment, but on account of the demands
made upon It by other state instiu-
ions, the emergency board could not
see its way clear to authorize the ex-
penditure of the necessary mony.
"The machinery, already purchased,
Is now stored in the basement hallway
where 1t will remain until the state
makes provisions to complete this
work. The college cannot expend any
more money for making these expert
ments. 1t Is hoped, however, that the
next legislative ASSEMBLY, will make
provision to have this work prosecuted
vigorously. It vitality effects the states

grower In the state has q direct inter-

kota Is the only great wheat state
where such work can be accomplished
without being hampered by local ele-
vator or milling interests depending
largely for profits upon under grading
or lowering the price of wheat. The
difference Of cents bushel would
make saving of $4,000 to the farmers
of Narth Dakota this year. It is un-
fortunate that the station could not
get the small amount of money re-

earlier, the board would doubtless have
been able to render the desired assist

could not be foreseen."

THE TOBACCO YEAR.
The Crop, With Continual Good
Weather, Will Be Fine.

Associated Pfess to The Evening" Times.
Lynchburg, Va, Sept. 1O-The tobac-
CO year in Lynchburg opened today,
after month of quiet at the local
warehouses. The offerings for the
first ten or fifteen days will be mostly
trimmings. After that it is expected
that some tobacco will begin to move.
Some planters have reported that a
portion of their crop has been dam
aged by the continued rains, but the
indications are based upon reports
from nearby counties that, with favor
able weather for cutting and harvest
ing the crop, 1t will be the best that
has been raised in this section for
years.
There has been some tobacco cut
In different sections in Lynchburg ter
ritory, but the most of it will not be
harvested for week or ten DAYS.

Is the Home Of Song.

This is above Iall other places in
Norway the home of poetry and song.
Here the chalet girl blows her lure of
a Saturday evening and yod1es her
lover up from the valley. Here the
folklore story and song live on the
lips of the people, and from this soil
nave sprung the poets who have tuned
their harps in closest harmony with
Norwegian nature.
The Rfngerlike district, which lies at
our feet, has been famous in Norweg-
Ian history. Here was the old king
dom of Sigurd Syr, the stepfather of
Saint Olaf and the father of the SAINT
half brother. King Harald Hardruler,
who in 1866 fell at Stanford bridge in
England while fighting to wrest that
kingdom from the last Saxon, Harold
Godwinson. And in the beginning of
the eighteenth century stirring events
occurred in Ringerike. A Swedish
army penetrated to this district and
was surprised and routed-by the Nor
wegians at Norderhof church.
Scene of WOman's HerOism.
1t was Anna Colbjornson, the wife of
Pastor Ramus of this church. who
managed to send word to the Norweg-
ian troops that the Swedes were 1T
the parsonage and who thus saved the
country. This woman became the
great heroine of Norwegian history and
her deed has been celebrated in song
and story. With some other pilgrims
l have just.now visited the church, a
few miles from this place. The build
ing itself would be more interesting
had it not been renovated. Now it
looks rather ordinary country
church. Across the road in front #
the main entrance is granite shaft
with the simple inscription: Gamma
Colbpornson. 1716." In the church are
oil portraits of the heroine and her
husband and in a vault under the floor
lie their bodies. There is trap door,
SO that one may go down and see them.
The bodies are wonderfully we'll pre-
served. Although Anna Colbpornson
has been dead nearly 200 years, it is
almost possible to recognize in the
corpse the original Of the portrait up
stairs.

CANADIAN ROAD FOR Duluth.

A report comes from Port Arthur
that the Canadian Northern is now
actively laying plans for line from
the Canadian head of the lakes to Du-
luth it has been recognized for a
long time that the Canadian Northern
would ultimately take this step, and
many have thought that it would be
done before now. Blu the company's
main line is still comparatively new,
and 1t has had great deal Of work to
do that has interfered with any other
propositions.
1t has been supposed that the COM

For every year during the past half
dozen years there have been expecta-
tons OF a melon cutting in Pullman.
The death of Marshall Field is believed
to have delayed action. The last gift
to stockholders was In 1898. when an
extra cash dividend of 2 per cent was
paid on a capital Of $S6.000.000. and in
november OF tnat year an extra STOCK

In December. 1899. the Wagner Co.
was taken over and 100000 of Pull

Wagner stock. and three members of
the Vanderbilt family. who were the
principal owners of the Wagner Co..
were elected Pullman directors. There
have been no ''plums" since the Van
derbilts became interested in the Pull

When the last melon was cut. in
1898, the Pullman Co. was operated
over 121 ,662 miles of road. and had net
earnings of around $5,000.O00 per an
