Weilman on Crops.

North Dakota is to have a bumper
crop this year, according to D. B. Well
man, state Inspector Of weights and
measures, who was in the city couple
of days ago. Everywhere the farmers
are busy seeding and pleased with the
prospects. The only exception to this
state of affairs is in the Red River val
ley, where the ground is low and there
has been too much moisture.
''The greater part of the seeding is
finished" said Mr.. Wellman. "Practie-
ally all the wheat is in and only li:tle
fax remains to be planted. After you
get twenty miles back from the river
everything is in fine shape and even in
the wet district conditions are much
better than many people suppose.
1.-THE weather has been cool and the
horses have been able to work hard and
this has counted"
Mr.. Wellman, who is constantly
travelling over the state and has an ex-
cellent opportunity to observe general
conditions, says that North Dakota as
a whole was never in finer shape.
''Out in the western part of the state
and in the neighborhood of Bismarck
they are planting great quantities of
corn. One man alone, Jim Mcdonald,
has planted $50 acres to corn and the
farmers out there seem to be able to
raise just as good crops as in Iowa. -

Name for Amusement Lane at Stat,

The question OF a name for the
amusement lane at the state fair to be
held at Fargo July q to % is still un.
decided. Some time ago the state faiI
officials announced that the name would
be submitted to a vote of the people
of North Dakota. Any person in the
state was to have been permitted tc
cast ballot in favor Of any name, and
the only requirement was that the voter
accompany his ballot with a SOC piece,
A number of votes have been receiv'
ed and are now on file. The names sug'
gested are many and some of them very
good. However, the fair officials want
more votes, and it is probable that the
matter will not be decided one way OF
the other until more votes are received
In return for the money which voters
send will be given the corresponding
value in tickets to the fair.
A cash prize of SO will be awarded
the suggester of thename finally chosen,
Some of the suggestions are as follows
Macaroni Way Teddie's Ranch
The Corral The Jungles
Gopher Run Round Up
Kiute Gulch Buffalo WalloW
The Furrow Durum Lane
The Blizzard Scots Alley

fully confirms the conclusions
then reached. The following re
marks may be added:
Sixteen inches apart is prob
bly, the best width between the
oat burrows.
The oats may be sown in a
cotton field without further prep
aration than the previous clean
culture Of the cotton. In this case
two burrows may be sown in each
middle"
In all cases the burrows should
be laid on a level In order to se
cure best results.
The Gnatt and the Carmical
seed and fertilizer drills are now
made with two spouts, one for
the seed oats being sown through
the forward spout.
1t has not been found neces
sary to use the covering attach
ment, the loose soil falling in
Immediately following the open
ing five-inch shovel (or short
scoter) covering the oats suf
ficlently.
1t somewhat facilitates the
work of the harvester to run a
weeder, or light harrow, across
the burrows in March or April.
The fertilizer formula advised
is as follows, per acre: Acid
phosphate, high.grade. 200
pounds; muriate of potash, 30
pounds; cotton meal, $50 pounds
to be applied in the burrows a t
time of sowing. In March or
April apply fifty to seventy five
pounds of nitrate of soda as a
top, dressing.
1t has not been found that the
above amount of cottonseed
meal will injure the terminating
principle of the seed.

Sow Clover, Boys: 1t Beats
Guano.
Progressive Farmer.

L noticed an article in your
columns some time ago by Mr..
H. M. DAME, ,of Madison countv
in which he stated he had been
sowing only gallon of annual
clover seed per acre. | think he
went on to say that hereafter he
would SOW a peck as he thought
that quantity would be better.
Now, of course, / don't know
the conditions surrounding his
style of farming, nor the extent
OF his experience with annual
clover. but please let me say TO
the "boys" that | have been
raising 1T for twenty years, and I
think have la fairly good luck
aud my advice S not to spread a
bushel of clover seed over more
than three acres of land.
And, boys, SOW plenty of it.
Will guarantee it is the best
thing to improve your land YOU
ever tried. If you want TO make
ten barrels OF corn per acre, be
g;n by putting in clover. 1t is
cheaper than guano and much
easier to haul md distribute.
Sow clover, boys, and you won't
make any mistake

Price Of Cotton.
Speculation as to Minimum
Price to be Fixed by Cotton
Association.

Charlotte Observer President
O. @. Moore, of the North Caro-
lima division of the Southern
Cotton Association, will leave
Monday for Hot Springs, Ark,
to attend the meeting of the
central executive committee of
that body, which is to be held
there next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, the 5th, 9th and 7th of
September. The prime object of
the meeting is to hear the reports
of the several subdivisions, and to
fix a minimum price at which the
present crop shall be marketed.
That wide interest is being
manifested in this meeting is
evidenced by the number of let
ters which President Moore is
receiving daily from all sections
of this and other States. Every
mail brings him a dozen or more
communications, from farmers,
merchants and business men
generally. The recent decline in
prices has intensified the inter.
eat. A majority of those who
have written President Moore
advocate II. 10 and 13 cents as a
fair and equable price at which
the present crop should be sold
One man only suggested that 10
cents would be enough. The
great majority favored the first
named figures.
When President Moore was
asked his views on the matter he
replied that the price decided
upon would depend altogether on
the reports received from the
cotton belt relative to the condi-
ton and acreage of the present
crop. "The government report
last year placed it at S29 per
cent" said Mr.. Moore. II be-
lieve that the condition this
season is from 3 to per cent
below that of last, hence the
report will be approximately 78
per cent. | can assure you on
that basis that the minimum
price will be more than 10 cents. :"
While not expressing himself,
President Moore intimated that
he would not agree to anything
less than II cents.

But more important discovery

MAIN! ELECTION RESULTS
REPUBLICANS WIN BY GREATLY
REDUCED PLURALlTIEs.
COBB SAVED BY COUNTRY VOTE
Intense Interest in Contest IN Second
Congressional District Due to Cam
paien Conducted by Samuel Gompers
Against Llttlefield.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 11.-Governor
William I. Cobb, Republican, standing
on a platform devoted almost exclu-
sively to continuance of the pro-
hibitory law of the state, was re-
elected by plurality of less than
the smallest margin Of votes ever
given a Republican governor in Maine.
Cyrus LAWS, the Democratic candi-
date. for governor, polled one Of the
largest votes in the history Of the
party in this state. His issue in the
campaign. was the resubmission of tha
liquor question, which was incorpof-
ated in the state constitution four
years ago.
More interesting from certain
standpoint was the reelection of Con-
gresham Charles e. Littlefeld (Rep.)
Of the Second district by greatly re-
duced plurality. Congressman Little
fields candidacy was the subject of
bitter opposition on the part of Sam
uel Gompers, president Of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor, who asked
for his defeat on the grounds that he
had voted against certain labor meas,
ures at the last session of congress.
The issue between Gompers and Lit
tlefield was taken up by the Repub.
lican congressional committee and for
three weeks the district has been the
scene of a hard fight, where Secretary
of War Taft, Senator Lodge and Sen
ator Beveridge and several congress-
men were pitted against the head Of
the Federation Of Labor. Mr.. Little
fields plurality is estimated at about
1000. Congressman Edwin G. Bur-
leigh, in the Third district, and Lew
elyn Powers in the Fourth were re-
elected by 1900 plurality. The re-
election of Congressman Ames L.
Allen in the Fifth district is claimed
by the Republican leaders.
The legislature will be Republican
by a safe margin.
Returns from $50 cities and towns
out of $40 for governor are: Cobb,
(Rep.), 66,299; Davis Dem.), 59,201.
The plurality in these towns four
years ago of Hill (Rep) over Gould
(Dem.) was 25,374.
Returns for congressman from 100
of the 1873 cities and towns in the Sec
ond district show plurality for Con
gresham Littlefield of 1,134, net Re
publican loss of 4,10O over four years
ago. The vote: Littlefield (RepD,

Republicans carried only Calais, East
! port, Gardiner and Hallowell. Gov.
