bitches SHOULD BE DEEP.
II. H. Hubert Of Stephens Gives Con.
ventiOn Some Valuable Pointers,

H H. Hubert of Stephen Minnesota.
is an interested spectator at the Drain
age convention. He has made num-
Der OF suggestions to the delegates
which ought to prove very valuable,
he advises that all bitches be built
deep and wide. He said in part during
the course of conversation, !" lam in
the land and emigrant business at
Stephen Minnesota, and have had no
end of experience with drainage among
the average farmers. They do not like
10 spend money for making bitches but
l am under the impression that once
you demonstrate to them the necessity
OF 1t they will not object to any amount
OF money to place them beyond the
danger of having their crops destroyed
by flood of storm water during the
spring. Take last season with us. Who
would not have given IS an acre to
have had system of good drainage? 1t
would have saved one of the big acre
ages of the valley.
Make your bitches deep and make
them often, one every mile. Don't
spare the expense. Men coming here
from the east to buy land will take
1t at SIS or $40 more an acre If it is
properly drained. 1t pays in more ways
than one. Suppose that you have
ditch every four miles and that it is
but three feet deep. 1t fills with water
to the surface and your farm is soaked.
IT the ditch is six feet deep it will have
but three feet of water and that gives
you three feet of a fall to take care of
the surface water over your section.
Don't spare expense, but dig your
bitches deep and dig them close to-
gether, it will pay and abundantly."

SWISS GUARD
Anniversary of Function Of
Pope's Guard of Person
and Police.

Rome, Jan. 11.-For the last three
weeks the vatican has been giving a
large part of its attention to the fes-
tivities held in celebration of the
4OOth anniversary of the formation of
the pope's Swiss guard This body
is due to the warrior Pope Julius II.
del la Revere, in 1905. Originally this
body was described as "Praetorian
Guards of the Pope's Person and
Palace, and their commander was
Won Silenen, a nobleman from Lu-
cerne, and it has become traditional
that the commander of the Swiss
guard shall always be nobleman and
always from Lucerne, as is the case
with the present colonel, Karl Pyffer
Won Altishofer. In 400 years there
has been only one interruption in the
existence of the Swiss guard. This
was after the sack of Rome by the
constable of Bourbon, when they bar
ricaded themselves in st. Peters and
were massacred to man.

HILL WALKED IN
To Grand Forks So YearsAgo Poor Boy Carrying Pack
Arrived Today in Private Car.

it. People in this country are draw
ing on the great natural resources of
the country. The virvin soil Is giving
forth crops and the mine and forest
are contributing their wealth. Shortly
all of this will be changed; the skilled
workman and trained. scientist will
play more important part in trade
In England the result Of feeling OF
superiority is already doing Its work;
million and a half men are out of
employment because the nation feels
they are asuperior race of men. Ger
manys trained wOrllmen, Industrial
captains with scientific knowledge and
the, most rigid economy, are driving
the English from the markets of the
world Knives are being made in
Germany today and shipped to Shelf
field and sold cheaper than the En-
glish product; superior article man
ufactured at less cost Is driving the
English from their home markets.
What are we going to do when our
natural resources draw nearer the
point of exhaustion and we must com
pete with Germany? The answer lies
in the industrial training and scientific
knowledge of the coming generation.
We must all work for what we get.
Wheat cannot be raised without labor;
farmers do not put enough into the
soil. Thirty years ago Mr. Hill meas
ured of ten acres of land at Fishers
Landing and promised to pay for har-
rowing it six times If the farmer was
not satisfied with the crop. The yield
of wheat on the ten acres was AZ
bushels and 10 pounds per acre. The
soil will not do it now; fertilizer must
go with the labor.
There Is something better than mon
ey and goods; it is reputation. When
Mr.. Hill began to build railroads it
was hard to get money, but asSmen
grew to know him better the millions
came easier. Never do an act on
which you would not care to have the
full light of day. 1t does not pay to
besmirch your character with Ques-
tionable acts.
Work and work hard. Mr.. Hill has
made living since he was fifteen
and hopes to continue 10 make one
while he lives. He believes in doing
things. Students should learn to
spell and read and write. the English
language first, then get university
education if they have any capacity
left. Men of the day with university
titles cannot spell at all; it is lost
art.
Mr.. Hills address was listened to by
six hundred students, who gave him
rousing reception and listened with
intense interest to his every sentence.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 1.-THE Cana

of the United States bureau of for
estry, was present and delivered a

pressing the warmest personal regard

Mr.. Pinchot said, was getting a strong
er conviction with the president year

HILL AT OPERA HOUSE.
Immense Crowd Listening to Him as
Times Goes to Press.


President Hill at the Opera house
this afternoon is addressing an i'm
mense audience. He said in part:
After stating that he>was glad to .be
present, and stating that he had come
from South Carolina to keep a prom
ice made year ago, he launched at
once into the subject. TIE land in the
Red river valley which was now pro-
ducing fifteen bushels per acre could
be made to yield thirty bushels. All
that was needed was drainage and a.
proper rotation of the crop. The plan
of constructing drain bitches on the
section line is wrong because the
Red river running north the county
naturally slope in that direction,
the proper direction for the drains
were northeast on this side of the
river and northwest on the other.
The slope of the valley is five to six
inches per mile-mOre than a large
part of the upper Mississippi The
water is not backed from the river,
SO that the plan of Strengthening that
stream is useless Most of the water
that browns the crops is the surface
water that falls The first thing
necessary is to get thorough topo-
oAoPAASdi oul SCy III IAc valley 80 CudC
the water will not be transferred from
one farm to another, but carried into
the river.
Will Give One.third the Cost.
This will cost not far from $4,000
and Mr.. Hill stated that he would give
one-third of this amount himself if
the work was undertaken. He not
only believed it practical, but showed
that the cost per acre would SO in
crease the producing power of the
land that this increase in crop value
would not only pay the cost of drain
age, but would become a good rate of
interest on the increased value of the
land. The Red river valley produces
less freight than even the Milk river
valley in Montana. This is not be-
cause of the lack of fertility of the
soil, but because the wet condition of
the land prevents the crop from being
sown at the proper time, but prevents
proper maturing of the grain once
it is sown.
After the speech reception was
held by Mr.. Hill on the stage of the
opera house.

OTHER QUESTIONS.
One Farmer Believes the Holdings
Should Be Cut Down,

L. A. Warnken of Emerald, believes
that there are other subjects that are
quite as important as drainage. For in
stance, the question of large farms.
Emerald seems to be especially handi-
capped with big farms. While the
country has been settled for years, it
is not thickly settled. The big farms
keep out the actual home builder and
impoverish the community to that ex-
tent. He believes such farms should
be made into the proper size for keep
ing family comfortably. These would
be taken up by actual settlers and EN-
erado and the entire county would be
the gamers.
While there is not much land near
Emerald that needs draining, Mr..
Warnken is of the opinion that it is
good thing and that it should be
encouraged by all sections of the state.
The valley proper, needs it badly in
some sections and what benefits the
valley benefits the state He favors a
liberal state policy in this respect.
