NEXT CONVENTION
 AT HOT SPRINGS
Hoo Hoos Will Probably Meet In Hot Springs
 In 1909.

Little Rock, Aug. 12. Noth- ing is too big for Hot Springs to try for, in the way of a conven- tion. and already the boosters of that city are making an effort to
 and the next annual meeting :of the Hoo Hoos; which is to be held in September 1909. This matter has been taken up with J. H. Carmichael, Shark of tais district, and he has promised to support Hot Springs with all his energy, on the floor of the con- vention to be held in Chicago
 next month. Hot Springs is only a short way from Gurdon, the birthplace of the order, and the Hot Springs people offer a pilgrimage to that town if the meeting of 1908 is held there. The annual convention for 1909 was fixrd for Seattle in the Okla. homa convention two years ago. but the entertainment features which were offered were allowed to drop, and it is thought some place twill be selected for the 1909 meeting. If so, Arkansas will have the call, especially as it lost the 1907 convention by such small margin to allow the convention to go east one year. If Hot 2prings secures the con- vention, it will mean the pilgrim age of at least 1900 wearers of the black cat button to that city while it's sessions are being held

FRIDAYS MEETING.

This meeting was fraught with a peculiar interest as it touched so vividly on child life.
 Our great regret, and one that brought tears to our heart, was that every mother in Prescott was not there. Sometimes we wonder what is possible to have to interest and bring out the mothers that they may learn of the doctrine of the more than 40 departments of VIC. Fl U. work, every one of which deals with our home life in one way or an other.
 The paper read on the 'Prac- ticability of Scientific Temper ance, " by a North Carolina pro- f, ssor and read by Mrs. Boney, was enough to stir every heart to earnest endeavor to see to have this subject taught in every school in the state. "The Man The Opportunity-The Hour, ; read by Mrs. Ellsworth showed how very important it is to see that this study is emphasized even though one lives in prohibi- tion territory.
 The article read by Mrs. Chas. M. Pittman, written by a brilliant young New York lawyer. show ed conclusively how easy and surely this study given to chil- dren works itself out into civic righteousness. Oh! It is grand! Would that we could burn it into every parents heart.

PLATES WILL GO
 TO HOSPITAL
Reports Will Be Stored In The Old State
 Building.

Not because they are not in the best of ''health" but be. cause they are so corpulent as to make it dangerous to store them in the old State house, is the req son why the plates from which the new editions of the old Su- preme court reports are made, are to be stored in the old hospit- al near the new State Capitol.
 The plates weigh 60, 900 pounds and it was feared to undertake to store them in the old State house, for fear their weight would crush through the decay ing floors. It was suggested that they be stored in the new State Capitol but on examination 1t was found impracticable to store them there, because of the difficulty of ingress. There was also some hint to the effect that perhaps the new building had better not be used until turned over by the contractors.
 At any rate. Earl Hodges, state printing clerk, after visit to the new capitol grounds this morning decided it would be the proper thing to store the plates in a portion of the old hospital as there is plenty of room there and sufficient protection from wealth CT exposure.
 The reports themselves, to the number of several thousand vol umes. will be stored in the old State house, at least for the pres ent.

BANANA
Section of the Country Can
Match Dickinson's Report for
Winter Months of 1oo7-8?

The weather of North Dakota and of a
great section of the northwest has been
subject to frequent misrepresentation and
the quips of the humorist with regard to
billiards and cold have come to create a
generally mistaken impression as to the
kind of weather North Dakota enjoys.
Last year the entire northwest suffered
one of the severest winters in its history.
The northwest wa not alone. The same
weather prevailed wei nearly the entire
temperate o n of the United States.
New York had as severe cold and as deep
SHOWS as North Dakota. But unfortun-
ately, the northwest was made to bear the
burden of the exaggerated reports sent
broadcast.
During the fall of 1907 the weather was
about the normal for North Dakota. The
Indian summer season was prolonged far
into the winter months. To the date of
this writing, March -, there has not been
a single bad storm and no severe weather.
The precipitation for the year 1907
amounted to 1867 inches a little over an
inch below the average which is 14.8o
inches. In 1906 20 inches fell, and in 1905,
II inches. The precipitation for 1907

of eighteen bushels per acre of dur
UNI wheat against z l.: bushels Of
common wheat. A neighbor, Pete
Schin, reports a yield Of over twenty.
five bushels Of durum whea: against
a very small yield Of common wheat.
1t Is claimed that the durur1 wheat
will not mill quite as much floar per
bushel as the common wheat, but the
difference is very small. Readers Of
the Press who till the soil should
look into these things, and 4 good
way is to write Supt. L. r. Waldron
OF the Dickinson experiment station,
Dickinson. On. Nov. % the Press
published a comparative report of
wheat yields of the Dickinson station
which should be carefully read by
farmers in western North Dakota.

tity. The seed is produced in b.
hemia and the Rhenish provinces of
Germany and some Of the seedsmen
in this country handle the seed. It
is plain that If we have an alfalfa
furnished US that is both hardy and
drought resistant that the alfalfa
question is already a long way to-
wards solution. It Is also probable
that with modified methods, there
will not be much trouble in growing
alfalfa seed in western North Dako.
ia. ....
AS is we'll known, Prof. Hansen in
a recent exploring trip, found a wild
alfalfa growing quite far north in
Siberia. Small amounts Of this seed
were brought over and are now being
tested and propagated by him. This
alfalfa is a yellow-fowered kind and
is very much the same as one Of the
parents of the sand lucern or Grimm
alfalfa. It is Of course very hardy
and will undoubtedly prove either of
much value in itself or as breeding
stock for new alfalfas.
The foregoing sketch shows clearly
that the future for alfalfa in this
region is exceedingly bright but be-
fore definite, successful results can
be obtained, much preliminary ex-
detrimental work must be done. Some
OF this work is of such a nature that
1t can not we'll be carried out except
at an experimental station but in or
der that the work of the station may
be successful, it must have the sym.
pathetic and active cooperation of
alfalfa growers. The Dickinson Sub
station has quite a bit of alfalfa work
under way and has outlined plans
SOAoAOCA dOAy uuOIS. IL may ne
said that up to the present time the
Dickinson Station has grown over
twenty strains of alfalfa, and that none
of them have been successful ex-
cept the Grimm alfalfa. Perhaps
the success or lack of success has not
been due entirely to the varieties but
that fact has cut considerable of a
figure. In closing, the writer wishes
to urge upon every farmer and ranch
man to secure a small quantity of
alfalfa seed and begin experimenting
In a small way. There is much to be
learned in alfalfa culture and the
major portion can not be learned
from books. I venture to predict
that 1t will not be many years before
alfalfa will be as staple a crop as
wheat in this region, and no doubt
a more paying crop.

thirty years. They seem to have
been very successful with this but
rather strangely its culture had not
spread among the surrounding farm
ers, at least to any extent. Finally
the attention Of the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station was directed to this
alfalfa and work was started with it.
It was not long before some seed
was distributed as Minnesota No. 4
or Grimm alfalfa, from one of the
Germans that grew 1t. 1t was at
first supposed that this alfalfa owed
its superior hardness to the fact that
it had been cultivated in Minnesota
for several years. This solution
proved to be too easy. Plants do
not change in such a manner. 1t is
thought that the seed originally came
from Norway or perhaps Germany.
Studies made within the last year or
SO seem to show that the. Grimm.
alfalfa is quite different from the or
binary alfalfa. What is Of greatest
interest to- us is that the Grimm al
falfa is even harder and perhaps
more drought resistant than most
and possibly all, of the Turkestan
strains so far experimental with.
The greatest drawback to this alfalfa
up to the present time is that the
seed is very difficult to get.
Sand Lucern.
In 1897 the Michigan Experiment
Station commenced experimenting
with sand lucern". This resembles.
the common alfalfa but is supposed.
to be a cross between the common
alfalfa and a wild, yellow-fowered
alfalfa Of Sweden. The sand lucern.
was sown upon very light sandy soil.
The second season, 3h tons Of hay
per acre were secured. The yield In
creased from year to year until iii
1901 the yield per acre amounted
to almost seven tons. But little.
more has been heard OF this alfalfa
n Michigan. This is due In large
part, no doubt. to the fact that It
does not produce seed In that state
and but few seed FIRMS handle the
lseed.

Durum Wheat Flour.

Supt. l.. R. Waldron of the Dick
inson experiment station has had a
quantity of Kubanka durum wheat
milled. The -four makes fine bread,
samples of which have been exhibited
in public places in Dickinson the past
week. It retains moisture longer
than bread made from common
wheat -four and is very sweet and
nutritious. This particular kind of
durum yielded t%hirty.one bushels to
the acre the past season at the ex-
pertinent station one mile west of
Dickinson. The average yield per
acre for eleven varieties of durum
wheat was 27.6 bushels, against
seventeen bushels, the average for
eight varieties of common wheat
