MORE STOCK
Farmers Of This State Should
Profit by Weed Seeds. Raise
More Sheep.

Prof. J. II. Sheppard said at the
opening of the st. Paul stock show:
"That North Dakota is a produc-
tive state no cne will dispute, but
she produces something besi les gel-
den grain, as does every other state
in the union. There are enough
weed seeds and screenings grown to
fatren all the sheep in North Dakota
and thousands besides. True, the
North Dakota agricultural college is
doing much by way of experiment In
killing weeds by means Of chemical
spray, but as yet this work is rather
uncertain. There il no uncertainty
In the fact that sheep will do we'll on
weeds, and that many farm In the
United States, foul with noxious
weeds, has been cleaned up and made
to blossom as the rose when sheep
have been kept upon 1t for few
years. In order that we may keep up
the fertility Of the soil and keep the
farm free from weeds. the question
SINNERS itself down to simply mat
ter Of getting into livestock raising.
"a rotation of crops will naturally
come with stock raising and one of
the strongest features of the rotation
system is the fact that it does away
with the destructive insects TO a
large extent. Ina properly planned
rotation the field is seeded down to
grass every few years and the de-
structive bugs cannot live upon grass
and consequently die out"

MORE FREIGHT CARS
\. P. TO Hasten the ShIpment
OF Grain 10 Eastern
Markets.

Tin order to complete the shipment
of the surplus wheat that nov re-
mains along its lines in North Dako.
ia, as far as-.it is now possible to do
so, the N. P. Co.. began today to
distribute on the Dakota division 500
freight: cars for the hauling of grain
to the terminal markets. Some 30
pei. cent OF the crop OF wheat, 1t is
now estimated, remains in the farm
eIs hands not including per cent
which is usually retained for seed.
The elevators In nearly all the small
Gowns have large amount OF wheat
in store, and considerable wheat has
been hauled to the elevators and left
in storage BY the owners. This grain
toget her with that which has been
bought by the elevator companies
outright, can be shipped out at once.
In all cases where the elevators need
the room the railroad company is ar
ranging to provide necessary freight
cars for shipping the wheat. The
company will distribute 100 cars on
the Streeter branch and about the
same number on the ]. and N. line.
Advantage will be taken of the pres
ent good weather to reduce the grain
stored in all elevators and make room
for more wheat which is expected
will be offered for sale as soon as the
elevators are able to handle 1t.
