NORTH DAKOTA
IS A CORN STATE

Professor Churchill OF the Agricul-
tural college has demonstrated that
a first class variety of corn can be
raised in North Dakota and is of the
opinion that one year with another
the state can produce from thirty five
to forty bushels Of the grain per acre
Professor Churchill gathered several
samples from his field at the college
which contains aver 100 varieties Of
corn and all OF which is doing nicely.
That picked this morning was golo-
en- dent, white dent, gold crown white
dent, and few other kinds. The
golden dent while the ears are small
by natlffe are well filed and perfect
~ matured. The white dent ears are
the largest some measuring a foot in
length, and every grain is finely de-
veloped and solid
The tips Of the ears were not SO
well developed owing to damage re-
ceived in the hail storm of Aug. 20.
The points were badly bruised which
cut the length of the ears down. con-
siderably.
However the corn which Professor
Churchill has Is good proof that
North Dakota can raise just as good
corn as any place and Mr.. Churchill
thinks that the golden dent will pro-
duce at least thirty~fve bushels per
acre and that the white dent and

CORN IL FEET HIGH


Devils Lake Journal: James stuart,
one Of the progressive farmers of
-Freshwater township, has demon
strated that with the proper cultiva-
ton corn can be made to grow and
mature In Ramsey county and to pro-
duce quality of corn that will rank
up with the best that is raised any-
where in the so-called corn belt"
All that Is required Is cultivation and
lots Of 1t to make this part Of the
state corn raising section. Mr.. Stuart
planted some Chicksaw corn in the
middle Of June on his farm to Fresh
water and today brought to The Jour
nal Office an average specimen OF the
crop, which stands over twelve feet
high, with plump, well-filled ears. Mr..
Stuart states that the corn was not
cultivated as much as he would have
liked to see 1T, but even as II il. IL
shows that intelligent care viii insure
g good crop in this county. Ramsey
county will show greater corn acre
age his year than ever before. The
most progressive farmers of this Sec
ton, the men who make land pro-
ductive and keep it so, are planting
each year d certain part OF their land
in corn and they are getting results
not only In the way Of resting the
land but In raising good corn.

DAKOTA'S GREAT
Showing PRAISED

In its account OF the Wisconsin
state fair which was held last week
The Milwaukee Star has the follow
ing to say regarding the exhibit from
North Dakota:
Among the exhibits In the building
devoted to the products of the farm Is
one by the state OF North Dakota. ar
ranged by w. C. Gilbreath. the com
missioner of agriculture and labor
which is NOT only full and complete,
but shows the mighty resources OF
that state. A year or two ago the
country was filed with horror over
the fatalities that resulted from the
fact that this far western country had
been caught during the cold weather
without sufficient quantity of fuel
to keep the inhabitants in many cases
from freezing to death. People on the
farms We're Obliged to abandon their
holdings and take refuge from the
wintry blasts in the larger class of
towns and cities, and in many cases
they We're obliged to burn the doors of
their homes for firewood The exhibit
made by North Dakota shows that
this shortage of fuel has been over
come, and all danger of a fuel famine
has passed. 1t may be, too. that this
display explains the reason why the
shipments OF coal into the western
country has been so slack of late.
Farmers Mine Coal.
Among the samples of the products
OF North Dakota are a large number
of samples Of Ignite coal, which has
been discovered in large quantities. in
the land of the Dakotas. 1t is said
that veins of Ignite coal underiie the
greater part Of the state, though II 10

before long the farmers will be mining
their own coal It is estimated that In
Ward county alone there are $500 600
acres OF coal bearing land. and that
there are large deposits of the coal in
nearly every county In the western
part of the state. !. Where the rivers

The exhibit also contains a full line
of grain and grasses grown in the
state, together with large variety of
game birds which have been treated by

NO. DAKOTA WHEAT
SOLD TO RUSSIA

Minneapolis. Sept 19.--The failure
OF the wheat crop in Russia has re-
suited in that nation importing heavily
from Minnesota, North Dakota and
other states of the great northwest
wheat section this year Exporting
firms al the head of the lakes have
been reticent about giving out figures
ON expectations of the grain to for
eign countries, but ii was learned at
the Chamber Of Commerce in Minnea-
polls yesterday that for several weeks
Russia has bought heavily of the sup
ply Of durum wheat at Duluth.
Owing to the fact that the South
African wheat yield has fallen short
this season. and that the crops of sew
eral other European nations in the
Mediterranean country have failed.
the wheat of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota has been drawn on
heavily Of late.
The bulk of the grain export BUSH
ness at Duluth this season has passed
through Duluth, owing to discriminate
ing rates between Buffalo and New
York by rail.

PASTOR signed
LIQUOR AFFIDAVIT

williston, N D., Sept. 22.--Mrs. G.
l.. Henness, the wife of the Congre-
gational minister here, was badly
burned about the mouth with carbolic
acid, which was applied by mistake.
She was badly burned.
Rev. and Mrs Henness have been
the leading spirits in an energetic
w. c. T. u. movement looking to the
abolition of the usual medicinal per-
mits in the drug stores.
The North Dakota law provides that
an adult person who makes an affi-
davit to the druggist that he or she
is i'll and needs tie intoxicans for
medicinal purposes and not as bev-
erage, may be supplied with not more
than a pint of liquor. The druggists
permits are issued annually, upon pc
tition of so per cent of the male free
holders of the ward or precinct and
so per cent of the female adults Of
good moral character. The men are
not required to stand any moral test.
There are six drug stores here and
Mrs. Henness has been leading a
movement 10 deprive them of their
liquor permits. She secured sufficient
agreement to abate one permit, and
1t was of a drug store that is really
about as carefully conducted as any
| in the state. Women were urged to
sign an agreement to support no Pc
tition for a permit, and the movement
became general among the women
kind. The Rev. Mr.. Henness argued
that there was no need for intoxi-
eating liquors OF any kind in Willis
| ton.
Minister Got the Booze.
When the wife OF the Congrega-
tional pastor hurried to him with her
face burning In splotches from the
acid the clergyman hurried to brow
nell's drug store where he excitedly
stated his requirements. The pharma-
| cist explained that there is really jusr
one antidote for carbolic acid burns
| internally or externally. and that is
alcohol. The minister demurred. He
/ wanted to know If ammonia would
not sufTice, and the pharmacist ex-
planned that nothing but alcohol
would do And the minister signso
the necessary afIidavit and secured
/ the cherished booze. which accom-
! plished the result that was hoped for
and the. horrible burns about the
| mouth of Mrs. Henncss Will soon be a
1 memory.
The affidavit that llust be signed at
the drug store is supplied from the
court house. where 1t Is returned and
/ placed on file. The affidavits come in
books of handred and they are alike
in every portion OF the state. The
wording is most peculiar. The appli-
cant swears that the liquor is desired
for his personal use (not in any case
for another) and that the affiant
swears that he Is i'll with some all
ment that must be filled in. Forty
per cent of the illnesses are stomach
trouble. according to the files, and
forty five are bad colds.
There has been trouble In the w
C. t. II. here due to the use OF al
cohol, and Rev. Henness is leaving
his pastorate though he had decided
upon this prior to the mistake men
