The MAYOR raised the question that.
to occupy space so feet wide at the
point named would almost close the
street to travel, as the street was only
90 feet wide, He felt that the ordi
nance had been prepared under the
impression that the street was 100
feet wide.
Attorney Leek explained that this
was true and suggested that the ordi-
nance be referred to the committee
and be reported and acted upon at
special meeting.
The motion previously made by AL
derman Meahan, that the ordinance
be referred, rules suspended and or
dnance passed at once was withdrawn
at Mr., Leeks suggestion, who ex
planned that those for whom he spoke
preferred that the council take ample
time to consider the matter. A motion
by Alderman Fuller that the matter
be deferred to special meeting was

CORN AS AN ADJUNCT TO FARMING

+. G. Schollander, b. S., North Da-
kota Agricultural College in The Da-
kota Farmer. There seems to be an
antipathy among many of our farm
ers in this state, as well as others,
for growing corn on part of the field
every year as a rotation crop. The
reasons generally given and which
are Of vital Importance, If true, 1T
takes too much work" and I'VE have
no use for it after 1t is grown To
the one-crop farmer who, like so
gamblers. stake all their earthly be-
longings upon one hand, this is true.
But how long can the one-crop system
last? Can they keep 1t up for twenty
or thirty years with a fair assurance
of success? Can they leave their
farms to their posterity in condition
that they may be able to gain livli-
hood? If they can, the soil is unex-
haustible. That our soil is exhausti-
BILE or nearly so, has been proven be-
yond doubt, in other states, and is
being proven SO in our state to the
sad experience of many. Evidences
of the depletion of the soil are seen
everywhere, by fields full of weeds,
poor quality and poor yields of grain.
1t is a fact that abundance of mois-
ture will materially aid in producing
a fair yield, but when dry season

much wheat can be grown, as four

undoubtedly due to the cultivation the

Kills Weeds.
Methods of graduating weeds are
written about so often that it will be
useless to devote space to it here,
only in so far as it pertains to the
good effects upon the corn field. Weeds
can be destroyed by chemical solu-
tons but the expense is great, and, to
some extent by summer following.
But when a crop of corn is grown, the
cultivation serves a two-fold purpose.
1t kills weeds as well as making the
corn grow. Every time the land is cul-
tivated. brings up a new lot of seeds
which in turn viii be destroyed. Gull
tivation is the surest way Of killing
weeds and by far the cheapest method.

To the small farmer who diyersifies
his crop and keep stock, these state
ments of too much work" and mo
use for the corn crop" are not even
thought of, because corn as silage
and fodder cannot be surpassed for
feed when the cost of production and
the beneficial effects upon the soil are
considered.
Plant Food.
The constant taking away of plant
food, such as nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash--in the soil by grain
crops, must sooner or later leave bal
effects upon the soil. Means must be
provided to retain some of it, either
by artificial or natural methods The
question then arises, what method is
the cheapest to return the fertility.
shipped by the car load from our soil
to eastern markets? The artificial or
commercial fertilizers are usually
costly If they are any good. Glover
as a natural fertilizer is extremely
valuable, in localities where it can be
grown, and used in rotation. 1t is ad-
N'Seh0AS " OF tOelob II y a eIltlOulll
but SO far experiments carried on have
not proven success. If it it can be
grown, it is undoubtedly the cheapest
nitrogen restorer known and should
be grown in conjunction with corn.
Manure has proven very beneficial to
the land in several ways, but it re-
quires an enormous amount of stock
to fertilize from thirty to fifty acres
every year. Corn, on the other hand,
can be grown cheaply and in large
enough acreage to use as a rotation.
Directly it does not restore fertility
to the soil, but indirectly it does. by
the crop being fed at home and the
manure brought back to the land. In
addition to it's intrinsic value as a
feed, and its manuring effects upon
the soil by liberating plant food
through the cultivation the land re-
ceives during the growing season.
These advantages, we as farmers,
must make use of in the near future.
Many farmers are growing corn now,
though on a small scale, with good
success. The acreage is increasing
slowly but surely. According to the
North Dakota crop reports issued by
the government, the acreage of corn
for the last ten years is as follows:
1S96-27,S44 acres. 1901-67 236 acres.
1S97-25,060 acres. 1929, 700 acres.
1S9S-24,30S acres. 1903-S6, OOS acres.
1S99-24,065 acres. 1904-9O,3 0S acres.
1900-23,S24 acres. 19O5-S9.405 acres.
From the above figures it will be
readily seen the large increase in
acreage during the last five years,over
the five years previous. This shows
plainly that the farmers are awaken
ing to the fact that corn growing is
a good investment. The season of
1906 will without doubt be the banner
year for North Dakota in corn acre
age. We must bear in mind, however,
that large percentage of the corn
never ripened, but was cut and fed
as fodder. This fact, however, does
not retract from the good effects upon
the soil, if it was planted in rows and
cultivated
