Argument has closed in the case of
the Fargo State Fair association

ton, and the court has taken the
case under Amusement. Judge Bosard,
for Grand Forks. admitted that the
law had not been complied with in mi
mute cases. but he claimed the omis-
sions were trivial and technical. Fargo
seeks to take away from the Grand
Forks association the appropriation
by the state for state fair, each town
having the appropriation on alternate
years. ....

confiscated when found in quantities
indicating that 1t was to be sold ille-
gally. An invoice II the liquor seized
was filed with Justice G. o. Kleven,
and the railway agent was cited to
appear May and show cause why the
liquor should not be destroyed.
Nine witnesses were summoned to
testify before Assistant State Attorney
Skulason as to whether the liquor was
sold in the drug store of Thomas Tor
gerson at Northwood. This testimony
will be considered by the state at
torney and If considered sufficient to
warrant an arrest, prosecution will be
instituted.
Thomas Olson was given a prelim-
mary hearing at Grand Forks and held
in the sum of $500 for trial In the dis.
trict court on a charge of selling
liquor illegally in Northwood. He was
accused of selling beer Illegally from
a case he had behind barn. "Chet"

ing made for him.

ions of the new law providing for the

The State Day by Day
CROPS ARE VARIED.
Diversified Farming Succeeds straioht
Wheat Raising.

Diversified Farming Succeeds Straiaht
Wheat Raising.
seeding is progressing rapidly in all
parts OF Richland county, and while
the season is late the ground is in
good shape In most localities. Gener-
al conditions are favorable to a good
crop.
There is a noticeable change in the
methods of farming in this county
since few years ago. The acreage of
wheat is diminishing and that Of corn,
timothy. clover and other grasses is
rapidly increasing. More corn will be
planted In Richland county this year
than In any year previous, and the
same may be said of all kinds Of
grasses. The wheat acreage will be
materially reduced, as the farmers of
the county rapidly are learning that
continuous wheat raising will wear
out the land and that diversified farm
ing is to be the salvation of the
country.
On one large two-section farm near
Wahpeton only one hundred acres of
wheat will be sown this year. This
year. This farm, until three years
ago, was cropped to wheat, oats and
barley almost continuously for more
than twenty years. During the last
two years more than 400 acres have
been seeded down to timothy and
clover, and this year the cultivated
land will be cropped as follows:
Wheat, 100 acres; corn, 200 acres; fax,
$50 acres; oats, 200 acres; barley,
100 acres, and after the crop is taken
of 200 acres more will be seeded down
to grass. One hundred and fifty head
of registered cattle are now on this
farm, and the owners expect to raise
one or two cars of hogs each year.
