The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1906-02-23

Here it is near the end of Feb
ruary and the farmer is commenc-
! ing to figure on the acreage he in
tends to plant the coming season.
The first thing necessary is to see
that the seed, which is to be plant
ed is of the best and free from all
foul seeds. With proper attention
and a thorough cleaning, weeds
which now predominant in some of
the fields would die out and in
stead would be the fields Of waving
grain pleasing to the eye. It is just
as easy to have a field free from
weeds as to have them covered
from one end to the other with
weeds, all kinds and colors. They
had to have a start somewhere;
they are not to be found on the UNI
cultivated portions of the state and
the question arises how did the
fields become so foul? In riding
over the you will passsfarms which
are comparatively free from weeds
while the next may be entirely
over run with them. One of the
causes is procrastination on the
part Of the farmer. He waits I'M
til the busy season is at hand and1
then he is SO rushed withtthe plant-l
ing Of a large acreage that he has
little time to devote Ito the clean
ing Of grain. Always remember
that there is more money in rails
ing good, clean grain, and that al
farm free from weeds will bring
more money per acre when offered
for sale than the one that is al
lowed to become foul from impure
seeds. The farmer is we'll repaid
for his time spent in cleaning the
seed grain. whatever a man
soweth, so shall he reap"

KNOCKERS.

"The Knocker is an offspring of
Failure and Envy" He is an only
child, and like most "only children
generally spoiled. He never reaches
maturity. Success in others hurts
him like a tight shoe. When he
grows up he goes into the laundry
business and wherever he goes, he
carries with him a lot of soiled
linen and a clothes line. Having
no home. of his own, and. being too.

err making his headquarters in the.
Offices Of other people. There he
sets VI. his tub, stretches his line
and remains till you interrupt him
with a polite invitation to come
again some time when you. are not
so busy.
The "Knocker'; always gets bust
ness for the firm which does not
pay his salary. AS soon as his firm
finds this out he is retired without
notice OF pay, Nobody wants his
company. His employment is dan
gerous' business policy His words
are without fruit. No one places
any confidence in even the good
things he says, for they are attrib-

thing better; an unwholesome
creature with a bad heart, and eyes
that are set so close together that
he can peep through a key hole
with both Of them at once. He
can't look you in the eye for love
or money. In the quadruped king
dom he would be either a hyena or
q skunk or a cross breed. Among

Three large steamers cleared from
this port yesterday with cargoes of
cotton and the total cargoes amounted
to 3S,191 bales, weighing 1902, ,56S
pounds and valued at s2,1s9,S00.
These are large amounts and is an
evidence of the shipping business done
at this port. The vessels that cleared
yesterday are smaller than often leave
this port with cargoes of cotton for
earlier in the season a vessel cleared
with something over $1,000 bales and
last year the largest cargo was some
thing over 1900 bales. The fall and
winter is a bsy season at the Cham
pion compress and there are other
steamships in port now taking on car
goes of cotton and every few days YES
cells are arriving. 1t is not generally
known but Wilmington stands fourth
in the United States as a cotton ex-
porting port.
One of the steamers that cleared yes
terday, the Osceola, may have to re-
main here for several days on account
of the case against Captain Mclean in
the federal court and such delay would
I mean the loss of a considerable sum
| for not only would the vessel be laying
here idle but the cotton is to be de-
livered at a certain time and a delay
| might prove serious to the exporter.
! During the past six months the
| Wharves at the Champion compress
have been heightened and the facili-
| ties are much better for loading the
| cotton. Before this the wharves were
| too short for the long vessels.
| All of the cotton exported from Will
mington is by the firm Of Alexander
| Sprunt & Son.
Vessels that cleared yesterday were
| as follows:
! British steamship Lord Curzon, Cap
tain Steele, for Liverpool with Ia, 1888
