succeeding fairly we'll, and wheat
was pretty we'll the only crop he
could grow there. And then the
soil refused to produce profitable
crops of wheat that of North Da-
kota; particularly. No soil will
grow crops of wheat continuously
unless other crops are grown in
connection with it or fertilizers
are used, or something of that
nature. These people. of course,
could not use fertilizers. They
had no money to buy them with;
and they had no place to get them
to Chill for nitrates and Florida
for phosphates. So they resorted
to a custom quite prevalent in
European countries half a century
ago and farther back than that--a
cutsom unknown as summer fallow-
ing.
They supposed they could grow
wheat longer by that means; that
is, by giving naure two years in
her laboratory to prepare plant
food for the crop. But is was
not profitable policy and was
abandoned long ago where farming
is properly conduced. This came
to the attention of the department
people and they resolved to find
something to snnnlv what WAS
needed up there. They have
found, some years ago. wheat
that would grow under these con-
ditions and it was known as durum
or hard wheat. But it was wheat.
Then they needed legumes. We
had no clover that could be depend
ed upon with any certainty in that
latitude. We had no alfalfa that

we were positive would answer the
purpose in the far north. So the
department decided to send it's
best explorer into the old world
where farming has been carried
on for a long time in order to find
legumes suitable for the summer
drouth and the winter cold of our
northern ATTITUDES, and such that
could be used in rotation with the
wheat that had already been furni-
shed. Two years agoP Professor Han
sen of the South Dakota Argicul
tural College, was sent to Norway,
Sweden. Finland, Lapland and
Siberia to find these legumes. He
found them. That is, he found al
falfas that we had never seen. with
yellow blossoms instead of blue.
He found clovers that fourished
up there through the summers
heat and the winters cold. He
found vetches and several other
things, but as far as the storm of
the north west is concerned, these
suffice to illustrate. He brought
home samples; they were sown last
year and they have succeeded. This
year, after getting extra moneyfrom
congress to pay expenses, he will be
sent back to bring home carloads
Of these seeds.
The application of science to farm
ing is becoming more general every
year. There are many forces at
work and have been for the past
twelve years. An inquiry into
the yield of the acre by this depart
ment for the past forty years shows
that during the first thirty years of
that forty year period the yield of
the acre ran down 6per cent on an
average for the United States. After
that date, about the time that Nc
Kinley went in. twelve years ago,
and farm products became dearer,

Some Of the work being done by
the government department of ag-
riculture toward discovering new
and hardy crops that will thrive in
the soils and climate Of parts of
the northwest, where the weather
is inclined to be severe and where
the supply of rain fall is moder-
ate, is set forth in a recent state
ment Of Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture. Dur
UNI wheat is one of the grains in
PRODUCED to the northwest by the
department and the work of ex-
perimenting with hardy varieties
of clover, alfalfa and other fodder
plants, is now in progress. In
speaking of the work that has been
done, the secretary says:
eve have consequently surveyed
this summer 10000 square miles
of the soil of North Dakota and
have finished the work in that
state. Winter has now come and
our people go south to that lower
end of the dry belt Of Texas, and
begin surveying north through the
cold weather. Next spring they
will go back to the north again,
and will continue to work south
ward.
The attention of the department
has been particularly directed tc
the improvement of conditions now
existing in the far northwest. He
found for them wheat that will
grow in dry conditions. that will
survive cold winters and they have
cold winters. The homeseeker
moved out there several years ago
and began growing that wheat,

encouragement was held out to
people to farm better because they
were getting big prices, and the
increased yield of the acre during
ten years of that last twelve year
period has been equal to fourteen
points upward. The forces that

very general feeling among a large
number of republicans in this district
that Hon. James A. Tawney is not the
man who should longer be permitted
to represent the district in congress.
Because of the splendidly working
machine he has, aspiring candidates
for congress fear to enter the contest
against him. Session after session of
congress passes and nothing has come
to his district. When Mr.. Knatvold
entered on a tariff reform platform
Tawney came out in an open letter
which was scattered broadcast over the
district and which promised more in
the way of tariff reform than Kna
void had promised. Since then Mr.
Tawney has taken no action toward
redeeming the pledge then made to his
constituents.
