STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
CLOVER GROWING.

superintendent Porter Gives Some
Valuable Pointers.
w. r. Porter, superintendent of the
North Dakota Demonstration farms,
has this to say about clover growing
In this state:
Prof. Thomas Shaw claims that clo-
yer can be grown successfully from
the Red river to the Montana line, and
from South Dakota as far north as
the Canadian boundary. No doubt, Prof.
Shaw Is correct If the right method Of
growing clover is practiced. Such a
method has not been worked out yet,
but all the indications are that it is
to be found in the practice of growing
clover without nurse crop on land
that has been previously MANFRED.
Perhaps the best possible condition to
grow clover would be to put it on
corn or potato land which had been
MANFRED with manure spreader
which had about twenty-five pounds
of soil evenly scattered on each load
of manure from a clover field that is
we'll inoculated with clover bacteria.

has an abundant supply of water
stored up in the soil, contains an abun-
dance of available food, and becomes
thoroughly inoculated with the special
bacteria without which clover cannot
do we'll.
If man wants to make big money

fertility of his soil, if he is west Of
the Red river valley, he should SOW
few acres of clover without nurse
crop on soil that has been MANFRED,
preferably corn or potato ground. If
weeds come up, he should cut them
with the mower with the bar set high
enough to pass over the clover plants
beneath. The second year the clover
should be cut for hay the latter part
Of June and the second crop for seed.
This crop should be cut about the mid
die of September. and can be

separator twice. Glover has been
yielding from two to six bushels per
acre in the state, and when it is worth
from $40 per bushel it actually beats
dollar wheat as paying crop, and at
the same time increases the fertility
of the land. Any farmer in the state
west Of the valley will make no mis-
take ii he tries a small field of me-
dunn red clover without nurse in the
spring Of 1909.
Conclusion.-These experiments with
clover on the demonstration farms
seem to indicate that it is not wise
to SOW clover with a nurse crop in
North Dakota outside of the Red
river valley. Even then nurse crop
that comes off the ground quickly and
does not offer too heavy shade, such
as barley, should be used.

BEATS MISSISSIPPI BUBBLE
Postofice Inspector Declares Laws Ell.
fort Amateurish as Compared
With Mexican Enterprise.

New York, Nov. 10. - "The most
stupendous mining fraud ever operat-
ed In America" according to Chief
Postoftice Inspector w. s. May
er, was brought to sudden halt Sat-
urday by federal authorities raiding
the Offices of George w. Emanuel &
Co., SIT Fifth avenue.
Those arrested were Lewis A.
Prince and ]. Walter Larrabee. who is
now connected with the Quibdo Gold
Dredging company of &C Broadway.
Emanuel narrowly escaped arrest.
He took fight for Mexico half hour
before the raid was made.
Cranston Thomas, supposed to be
one of the moving spirits in the con-
Germ, was taken at his home in Brook
lyn.
In international Game.
The operations of the men now I'm.
der arrest are believed to form vast
swindling web, the meshes of which
extend over the entire country, Mexi-
co and part of South America.
Millions of dollars are believed to
have already been swindled by this
galaxy Of talent.
The Mississippi Bubble of John
Law is only the work of an amateur
in comparison with it," said Postoffice
Inspector Elmer l.. Kincaid, who con-
Quoted the raid. 1T is the most dan
gerous tget-rich-quick' ever unearthed.
Had it remained unchecked it would
have compared with the Standard Oil
In magnitude"
The names of the men involved in
the arrest include several prominent
financiers and two we'll known bucket
shot operators, who have previously
been the object of police search.
Most Daring Ever Conceived.
A recent extension of the plans OF
these men included the formation OF
several mushroom companies, which
now will never see the light of day.
The mother company is the "old re-
liable" Mutual Trust company, and
under the fostering care of George
Emanuel & Co., it is alleged, it was
organized by Louis Prince and J. Wal.
ter Labaree.
Hundreds Of checks and thousands
of letters from customers were found
in the Offices Of the concern. The
books of the company, however, show
ing the list Of those believed to have
been swindled, were ID d heavy steel
safe, the keys Of which, the prisoners
declared, could not be found. IS
The fraud perpetrated by the Mu'
tual of Mexico In their plan of opera
ZION was one of the most daring ever
conceived.
