POLICE OF STATE ORGANIZE.

Guardians Of the Peace Join Hands for
Better Protection Of Citizens.
The chiefs of police and the police
naarshals of North Dakota have
formed state organization in Fargo.
For more than year the chiefs and
marshals have been discussing the
advisability of forming such society,
and, at the suggestion of a number Of
these officials, meeting was held in
Fargo last week
The society will be non-political in
its workings, and is formed for the
purpose of affording better police pro-
lection all over the state. In fact, in
time it will be found that law break
ers will have most difficult time in
going from one town to another in
North Dakota. Letters were received
from a large number of the officers
from all parts of the state, and at the
morning meeting the following officers
had reported, in addition to Chief Of
Police Wade of Fargo:
Chief Lowe of Grand Forks.
Chief Hagen of Minot.
Chief Hurst of Devils Lake.
Chief Morgan of Hillsboro.
Chief Dunn of Leeds.
Chief Dickson of Casselton.
The organization was formed by the
election of the following officers:
President-C. B. Wade of Fargo
Vice President-Chief Dickson Of
Casselton.
Secretary-Chief Hurst of Devils
Lake.
Nearly every state in the East has
such an organization, and it has done
a great deal of good in the detection
of crime. It is believed that after
the bylaws and a constitution have
been adopted and the officers get to
understand the purposes of the organi.
cation every chief of police and mar
shall in the state will become mem

Compare The Corn Fields.

Wallaces' Farmer: There is a won
derful object lesson this year in al
most every neighborhood. if farmers
will but study it. Here is a field on
one side of the road which gives pro-
mise of sixty and sometimes v e
eighty bushels of corn to the acre; and
on the other side of the road a field
that will do very we'll if it goes thirty.
Here are outstanding facts that no
farmer can very we'll help seeing
every time he goes to town if he
keeps his eyes open, and he should
not be satisfied until he has fully in
vestigated the cause. His own obser-
walton will give all the information
he needs.
These two fields r evidently alike,
and yet one has a crop sixty to eighty
bushels to the acre and the other less
than thirty. 1t may be that the cause
is a defective stand. If so, it will be
evidenced by the vigorous growth and
large ears of the present stand. In
all probability that is not the reason
at all.
The probable cause is that the poor
field Of corn is tired, not exactly worm
out, but wearing out. Its humus has
been exhausted by constant cropping
without rotation and without ma
nure. Hence it was pasty when wet
and baked when dry. 1t had lost its
water-holding capacity, and on &C
count of the crust which was formed
on top after a dashing rain the roots
could not secur sufficient oxygen to
thrive. There was not enough vege-
table matter in the soil to dissolve by
It's acids the mineral matter, with
out which corn cannot grow. What
is the remedy for this? Glover, ma
nure, deep blowing, thorough cultiva-
tion.
Possibly it may be due to the fact
that the farmer grew the wrong kind
of corn. He may not believe in the
corn gospel which we have been
preaching. He may have concluded
that one kind of corn is as good as
another, that the kind he has grown
is the best, and the result is a poor
crop simply because, no matter how
good the land may be, this kind OF
corn, like an animal deficient in vital
ity, was not able to utilize fully the
plant good available.
Again, this poor crop of corn may
have been grown on land that was
rich enough and the corn planted may
have been good enough, but it was lot
properly cultivated. 1t was perhaps
plowed when it was too wet; the har-
row did not follow the pillow and clods
formed: the furrow slice was not
properly worked down to form an ideal
seed bed. Hence the corn grew irreg-
ularly, some Of it strong, some OF it
weak. Possibly there was not suff1-
Gent differentiation, dashing rains
baked the surface, and the farmer did
not harrow it to conserve moisture.
These we suggest as some of the
probable aso that the farmer
should ascertain by observation, and
thus prepare himself to avoid methods
which have robbed his neighbor of
his profits this year.
