does what he has originally planned
and carries out the policies which he
has developed down to the last detail
before opposing arguments began.
How often and how uniformly he has
come out victorious in the legal bat
ties instituted against him by his ad-
versaries is very generally known.
Proprietary medicine manufacturers
went against him, and fell; liquor deal
ers sought legal immunity from the
publicity of his reports and the re-
quirements of his supporting code, and
they failed. Paintmakers sought to
show the courts that their prepare
tons were Gust as good" as the stand
ard requirements for North Dakota,
but they had to come in and be good"
How far-reaching have been the
beneficial effects of Commissioner
Ladd's work, both through legal de-
cisions and otherwise, might require
careful research to fully determine. A
splendid phase of these beneficial eff
fects arises through the fact that
many manufacturers, naturally scrupu-
lous themselves, but handicapped by
the competitive conditions surround
ing them where no legal standards
were fixed, have, since the adoption of
the North Dakota standards, con-
formed their entire product for other
states to the requirements established
for North Dakota, relying upon the
demonstratable fact of legally recog-
nized superiority to make market for
their products at such advance in
prices as might be necessary to pro.
duce them. But a result of more gen.
eral significance can doubtless be
claimed to have arisen through the
recent enactment Of pure food legis-
lation by congress itself, which not
only followed closely upon the awak-
ening of interest in this subject grow
ing out Of Prof. Ladd's campaign for
1t, but which it will be recalled was
introduced directly by senator from
Ladd's own state, who had enjoyed
special opportunity of observing the
excellent methods and splendid results
Of his labor.
q The vigorous. character Of the on
slaught made against the commission
er's work by the manufacturers affect
ed by it would hardly be judged by the
surprising unanimity with which they
have ultimately given up the fight

CORN CROPS FOR NORTH DAKOTA

Diversified farming is the next step
in the development of our state. Not
only the farmers success, but the
prosperity of every business and pro.
fession depends on proper husbandry.
The following list of corn varieties
suitable to North Dakota conditions.
prepared by H. j. Hughes, an ad-
vanced student at the North Dakota
Agricultural college, will be of wide
interest at this time of the year when
farmers are securing seed and making
plans for the coming year. The dent
varieties are listed in order of earli.
ness, As are also the flint varieties.
The earliest flint variety is a little
earlier than the earliest dent. The
varieties here given have been raised
at the, Fargo experiment station, and
some Of them along the northern
boundary of the state:
Dent.
~ North Dakota, 100. Eight
rowed, deeply dented white kernel.
cob white.
(2) Golden Dent. Ear short. we'll
filed. Cob white; shank small; ker.
mel small, deep, wedge shaped, rough,
dented; color yellow.
60 Minnesota King. Short ear OF
good type; cob red; shank small; kerr
mel broad and fiat; color mixed white
and yellow, tending to flint; rows $40
(4 Northwestern Dent. Well filled
ear with white cob; shank rather big:
crowns of kernels rather yellowish;
ear fair sized; rows regular.
(5) Pride of the North. Ear same
as in 90; cob red; shank small; ker.
mel yellow, wedged shape, dented:
rows many, slightly uneven.
Flint.
ID Squaw corn. Ear small; ker.
nels many colored.
(2) Wills Dakota. Cob white:
shank large; ear tapering; kernels
round; rows regular.
CD Jehu. Color light yellow with
white cob; large shank; rows many
and irregular.
(4) Mercer. Yellow of rich shade;
cob whiteJ with large shank; kernel
wedge shaped; rows many and
straight.
90 Triumph. Yellow, long white
cob with large shank; larger than
Mercer and lighter shade of yellow:
many rowed and rows regular: ker-
nels broad
go Longfellow. Same general type
as Triumph. save that ears are regu-
larly eight rowed and the kernels are
broader. 1cngfellow and Triumph
are 9-12 inches long and may easily be
taken the enc for the other.
90 King Philip. Small red ear:
crowns tinged with yellow: rows 8:
well shaped cob; large shank, ker
nels broad and not deep.
While other varieties may doubtless
prove of value, these have been ex-
tensively tested at the North Dakota
station. and have been found generally
adapted to our climatic conditions.
Golden Dent, Longfellow asd Triumph
are among the best, judged by the
type Of ear. Il. l s5
8 A mature ear Of corn, adapted to
our climate, is firm on the cob, rather
small size, as viewed by the man from

with tip we'll covered with kernels.
An uncovered tip indicates q late ma.
turing type Of corn. as does also loose
ness on the cob. The cob should be
solid, and weigh about Is per cent Of
the total weight Of ear.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. SIN words
fairly bristling with turbulence against
the saloon, bucket shop and pistol car
rying, Gov Noel sent his first message
of Importance to both houses Of the
Mississippi Legislature yesterday
morning. The recommendations he
suggests leave no doubt but what the
fight to the death of the saloon in
Mississippi is on at once. He not
only wants state wide, or statutory
prohibition, but wants 1t incorporated
in the constitution Of the state so that
the tickle goddess of politics cannot
fiirt with 1t without offense to the SOW
ereign people.
Gov. Noel is no less severe with the
bucket shop, and after showing the
easy road from the legitimate to the
illegitimate dealing in the products
of the country, which makes a gamb-
Ter out of a man without his knowl-
edge, recommends that it be closed
completely and forever, and that every
person connected with the operations
of such gambling institution be made
criminal and speedily sent to the
pen. Besides being made criminal

facility. for operating future gambling
