The editor of the Independent has just returned
from visit to one Of the most famous wheat coun
tries in the world, that Of Sunny Southern Alberta
and they do raise some fine wheat there. Wnile
that is the land of magnificent yields, we cannot
see why Western North Dakotan will not fare
lust as well under favorable circumstances FOR
one thing we have concluded that the American
farmer tries to farm too much land, year a1ter
year. Land needs a rest occasionally, and the rule
of the Canadian farmer is to give it rest every
other year or one year out Of three at least. the
wise Canadian farmer does good deal OF summer
following One farmer explained to us that in this
way he got just as much or more Wneat tna"
If he attempted to put in the crop every year. ne
kept the soil practically free from foul weeds ne
saved much on his seed and the work OF sowing
ana preparing his land otherwise, in the cutting
horse flesh, ETC.. binder Irvine and In scores III
other ways that the average farmer readily under-
stands He doesn't need as many horses, and Ills
land instead of growing poorer every year, is
actually getting in better shape. This is lesson
that every American farmer ought to learn 1t
is not how much but how WE'LL In farming, as
in any other line of work. They raise a good deal
of winter wheat over in Alberta, and the most
popular variety is the Alberta Red, or the Kansas
Red as the seed originally came from Kansas
few years ago the Canadian government took the
trouble to get good deal of this seed sown In the
Alberta country with surprising results It Is not
an uncommon thing to see the Alberta Red wheat
20 fifty bushels to the acre. The Independent
firmly believes that winter wheat can be success
fully grown in North Dakota, and We are not sure
but what few Of the farmers doing this. We
would like to some experiments along this line,
for if we are going to continue to grow wheat
we must do so to the best advantage. The Canadi-
an farmers SOW their winter wheat in Angus
every year. We saw thousands Of drills in the
fields and many Of the farmers now turning
over their old land and will seed thousands Of
acres yet this fall. The wheat grows several
inches tall before cold weather. and it is advisable
to pasture it if it grows too rank. This wheat of
course rpens two three weeks before the spring
wheat, and can be harvested and gotten out Of the
way long before there is danger Of frost 1t usually
sells for slightly lower price than the spring
wheat but as generally yields better, the farmer
can afford to accept less for it, Try sowing lit
tie winter wheat. and if you can get hold Of some
of the Alberta Red seed you likely to get good
results.

LUMBER FROM STRAW.

Among the exhibits at the late state fair at
Fargo was a cottage constructed of lumber manu-
facured from straw, which attracted much atten-
iicr. This building designed to show the posi-
b;li.ies of manufacturing cheap and durable sub
stiiute for lumber in the construction of ordinary
buildings.
1t is claimed for this manufactured lumber
that it is waterproof, rat-proof and non-conductor
of electricity. The boards be made of any de-
sired size, are as strong wooden boards.
lie sawed, planed and nailed in place readily as
wooden boards, take paint readily and very
durable.
In the manufacture Of this substitute lumber
common wheat straw is mixed with other ingre-
dents and subjected to hydraulic pressure. What
ingredients used with the straw is known only
to tie inventor who claims they cheap and read
i,y accessible and that the product be proftab-
~ manufactured and sold at one-haf the price OF
!uml CT.
II this is true, treeless North Dakota may be-
crr1e one of the most extensive building materi-
al producing states in the Union. Ward county
aonc produces and burns enough straw annually
t., manufacture large amount of lumber and fac.
tories could supplies at low price. Should
factory be established at Grand Forks, now
seems probable it will soon demonstrate whether
relief from the tenacles of the lumber trust mas
not he secured by utilizing our waste farm pro-
ducts to curtail the demand for natural lumber
The potato bug has at last made it sppea .ance
in tli- state. The farmers have heretof,.e
gratu!. ted themselves On being free from bis o.
tvs va:iety, but they are evidently heca e stay.
Last year there few but there are
great many in nearly every potato patch. It's hard
to tell just how they got here-whether they mi

Some farmers their seed late in June on
land that is poorly prepared and then wonder why
they do not get good crops. We visited Canadian
farmer last week, who was actually ashamed of the
appearance of his crops and we do not wonder at
it. "You see," he explained, II didn't get around
to get all of my land plowed so burned OH the
stubble and then went into the land with a drill
without even discing the land. His crop looked it.
We asked him whether he had sown wheat oats
or clover. We actually could not guess what he
was attempting to raise. 1t pays to spend plenty
of time in preparing the land for seed.

The Americans came out ahead in the Olympian
games in England this year, the same as they do
III everything else, and friends over on the other
side are wondering at it. The Americans go into
everything to win and this determination seems
TO be half Of the battle. One Canadian paper,
making light Of the American sportsmen, in q re-
cent editorial explained that the Americans were
crooked in their sports the same they were in
their business methods. when Americans
taught to steal bases, when the umpire Is not look
ing how can they be any other way than crooked
in their business methods" this paper went On to
explain. There may be few honest Canadian
merchants whom did not meet, but in our ex-
perience with them, md that while they do not
make practice of gouging you without letting
you know it, they look you square In the ey9
and charge you fifteen cents for mighty poor
two-for We are quite satisfied to confne ourselves
to dealing with the crooked Yankees.

John Inglis, the crop expert who in years has
travelled from Canada to Russia and from France
to Argentine, recently inspected the wheat crop
in the Dakotas, and reports finding some black
rust. AS result, the price of Septemberw heat
advanced Immediately more than three cents. AS
u matter of fact there is black rust in the
Dakotas every year, and usually it does not appear
in time to do any damage. AS much of the wheat
is already ripe and the remainder fast ripening
it is probable that the will do no damage
this year, yet with the knowledge that there was
some Of this rust, the fact made the price soar

After all that has been written the tree
bounty law there are still land owners In Ward
county who do not fully understand it, and give
the county auditor an endless amount of trouble
The law needs further explanation see.. The
law went into effect In July 1905 and says that
whoever shall hereafter plant and keep in growing
condition, trees for year shall be entitled to
$500 an acre for same. Then, only the trees plant
ed in 1906 after, will be effected by such law.
Those planted in 1905, could mot have been grow
ing for year when the law went into effect. Trees
planted in the present year, cannot yet be counted
for they have not yet bee growing year.
Auditor Fabrick says that he has seen farmers
coming into his Office who demanded the bounty
for trees planted far back as in 1900 The trees
must be examined by the assessor and two witness

masterpiece valued at $500, Paris gowns
hats and opera cloaks are included in the
inventory of valuAbles reported missing
from the residence Of the late Mrs. George
wood. who was found dead on october Is
at her home at 1923 North Broad street.
Hyhere she lived alone
Mrs Wood was the widow Of Georgs
Wood. American manager Of the Royal In
surance company. She had been dead pos
Eibly twelve hours when the body was
found by an employe Of the American Dis
trict Telegraph company. Several hours
later the coroner's physician reported
death due TO vavular heart disease. There
is no record OF a post-mortem examination
having been held. Mrs. Wood lived alone
and she died alone. She was eccentric.
Though she had hosts OF friends and ac-
quaintances she spent her days and nights
in the big. gloomy house alone and unat-
tended. On October 81 this house, so Mrs.
Woods friends say, was the scene OF con-
fusion. Strangers trRmped through the
rooms and valuables were piled up and
taken away.
The mystery Of the missing vAluables
may never be cleared away unless action
is taken by the city. which falls heir to
part Of the estate, the Catholic church or
the various charities mentioned as bene-
fciaries In the will. There is no person
near enough allied to the dead woman &c
fight for her belongings; to none did she
leave a large bequest-
It was a peculiarity Of Mrs. Wood that
her things were kept in great confusion.
Stree her death valuable ornaments have
been found hidden away in trunks, tucked
behind furniture and poked in Out-ef-the'
way corners. The police ale firm in their
belief that the alleged missing articles Were
net carried away by professional thieves
They further declare that Mrs, Wood's
wealth was largely imaginary and that she
was in debt when she died.

LINCOLN, Dec. b.-(Special)- THE Union
Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern and Mis-

application TO the State Railway commits
sion for permission TO equalize the rates
on flour, wheat corn and feed stuff The
hearing on the application has been set
for December II at ? o'clock. The commits
sion has notified the millers Of the state
Of the application and the hearing.
The railroads say the rate on wheat and
corn is more than on the finished product
which is more valuable, and therefore to
equalize the two the rates on the finished
product should be increased.
Following Is a comparison Of the rates
