Crop Prospects in North Dakota.

Ryder, N. D., Aug. 10th, 'O9.
To THE EDITOR:
Two things in the public mind
just now are the opening of the
Indian reservation in the west and
the splendid prospect of an abund-
ant harvest. It is reported that an
affidavit for the Couer d 'Alene lands
has one chance in 333, for Spokane
one in 4O6; and for the Flathead land
one in Is of drawing a prize. The
second question is about the crops.
One cannot be half an hour in
North Dakota town without being
asked about the crops. The pros
pective yield this year in the Mime
sofa and the two Dakotas is a very

An Improved Variety of Rye.

A new variety Of rye is being dis
tributed by the Minnesota Expert
ment Station that promises to give
new impetus to the rye growing
industry of the state. This variety,
known as Minnesota No. 2. was
developed by careful nursery selec-
ton Of individual plants from a
stock Of Swedish rye obtained from
Mr.. John Brogan of Henning, Mimi,
in 1895.
After several selections were made
this variety was increased and test
ed at University Farm during the
years Of 1900 to 1908. The average
yield for the time was 40 4 bushels
per acre while the varieties COM
monty grown in the state averaged
for the same years 1913 bushels.
This variety when we'll grown has
large kernels, that are quite uni
formly light colored, though some
dark kernels may be found. The
plants stool luXuriantly and the
straw stands up we'll allowing the
grain to ripen evenly and in good
season, usually about July 10th to
Goth. The plants grow four to four
and a half feet high with heads -
to 4 inches long No. rye was
grown by a few farmers in various
parts Of the state in 1907-190S, and
was considered an improvement
wherever grown. From these COM
parative yields it is calculated that
the No. 2 rye will yield 9.5 bushels
per acre more than the common va
rieties. 1t was quite widely dis
tributed in 1908 and reports so far
received indicate that. it is doing
we'll this year.
The Experiment Station has only
a small stock of the seed for sale
at S1.25 per bushel, but can furnish
the addresses of seed growers in
many localities who purchased seed
from the Experiment station last
fall and from whom it can be pur-
chased direct. These addresses may
be obtained by writing the Agri-
culturist of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station, St. Anthony Park,

HARD TO PLEASE.

1t is very difficult to conduct q
newspaper in Redwood Falls and
please the manager Of an opposition
sheet. The Temporary editor" ven
tured to take issue on a statement
that a common school education and
three months at a business college
would fit anybody for the position
of court reporter. He still thinks
that is not correct but his first state
ment to that effect brought forth
such a howl of rage and Of anguish
that this is made with much trepi-
dalton. Threats were made that if
he didn't quit differing "creden-
tials' would be brought from Iowa
emitting the permanent editor to
practice and sweep the law business
all away. 1t was limited that the
credentials would be so good that
no force on earth would prevent the
holder from jumping right into the
arena. 1t was suggested that the
former articles was the voice of a
gang" which was organized to ruin
the fearless exponent of new politi-
cal truths borrowed from the sock
less one of Kansas.
To keep peace the editor dropped
politics and took up the Thaw case
and renewed squeal appears on
the front page of the opposition
rag. The Temporary" one is still
for peace and quiet and if the other
editor will only state what features
of degeneracy mentioned in the ar
ticle at all resembles his appearance,
conduct or demeanor we are willing
to say that very bright men also
have those same syptoms and they
are by no means an infallable indi-
cation.

as Lamberton or Morgan provides.
The county should be the unit and
not the district. This is SO revolu-
tionary that it would be voted down
beyond question-but it is right just
the same. Under such a system
there would be Encouragement or
consolidation of districts and as far
as any school went the course w ould
be equal to that of any other in the
county. With such system pupils
would be educated near home and
under the care of parents. And I'M
der it the movement of population
would likely be from town to farm
instead of the other way

large increase over 1908. In 1908
North Dakota had 5,899, 900 acres in
wheat with a yield Of 68,428, 900
bushels. This year the reported
acreage is 6,371, 900 acres, an in
crease over 1908 of 1,0SO,O00 acres.
The yield for 1909 is estimated at
lis, 100000 bushels. If l add that
the increase in oats, barley and flax
is also heavy over last year, a sub
stantial reason is shown for the good
cheer everywhere shown over the
crop prospect.
| am happy to say that the coun-
try tributary to Ryder has its full
share in the anticipated income from
the farms.
The crop is being harvested and
the risk from hail, heavy rains and
other unfavorable conditions has to
be considered, but when we make
allowance for all these it is almost
certain that the North Dakota farm
ers will harvest many more bushels
of grain than ever before.
Since left last fall a newspaper,
The Times, has been established by
Mr.. 0. H. Loman, additional cement
walks and cross walks have been
put in, the large hotel being built
by Mr.. Fredeen has been completed.
the Park improved and other minor
improvements have been made that
show the Ryder people to be pro-
gressive and that they have great
faith in their young city.

A Redwood Boy in the Navy.

In letter to his sister, Mrs. C. 7.
Howard of this city, James Beecher.
who will be remembered as Red
wood boy during the early '90's and
as a graduate of the high school,
gives some facts that will be appre-
ciated by those who take an interest
in naval matters.
The writer is Paymaster on the
California, one of the new battle
ships. There are $40 men and 40
officers on the ship. In Paymaster's
department there are 25 men and
the Paymaster has supervision over
about 40 more, making him respon-
sible for the work of 65 men. His
daily disbursements average over
$1,000. The daily baking for the
force uses up about half a ton of
flour.
1t will be seen that the compile
ment OF men would be equal TO the
adults in a good-sized town. The
Paymaster has entire charge of buy
ing all supplies for the ship and
pays out all money.
The California is now at Seattle
and on exhibition to visitors there,
where its Paymaster is likely to see
a number of old Redwood acquaint-
ances. After short stop at Seattle
the vessel will return to San Fran
cisco and from there will take an
extended trip westward, stopping at
our insular possessions and also will
call at ports in China, Japan and
Australia before returning home.

"Our business is now double what
it was when saloons were open,"

treasurer Of the Reid Hardware
Company. eve would not have the
saloons back in our town at ALL"
"My observation has been that we
are very much better off without
Saloons" writes H. E. Garland, sec
rotary and treasurer of the Athens
Table and Manufacturing Company.
I'VE would not agree to have them
back again under any conditions.
When saloons were here twenty-five
per cent. Of our employees were out
following Sundays and holidays.
Now it is rare thing when every
man is not on hand"
"Our people would not for one
moment think Of returning to the
saloon again." writes ]. B. Childress
& Son, dry goods merchants. Our
business has improved. We think
there is decided saving Of the peo-
pies money. There has been a
greater Improvement in the grocery
and provision business than any
where else, although there is a
marked improvement in all of the
business here"
From business standpoint. we
prefer no whisky. The poorer class
es seem to have more money. Our
city appears to get along better
without the saloon" is the testi-
mony of Owen and Company, pro-
prietors of a general store.

Athens, Tennessee, growing
young city of 5000 people, voted
out the saloons five years ago.
1t would now be hard to find a
prominent business man who would
advocate the re-opening of the
dram-shop.
Business has prospered, school at
tendance increased, the people are
now spending thousands of dollars
in legitimate trade that with open
saloons would go for drink, and a
civic pride has developed of which
confidence in and loyalty to the pro-
hibition law is a conspicuous feature.

THE REAL CAUSE OF CONNECTION

In the labored article explaining
the tempest in teapot that has
been raging the real issue was at
last revealed. The temporary"
editor had opposed Joe Kecfe last
fall. That is true and plea of
guilty may as we'll be entered. And
the offense is likely to be repeated
in spite of the hysteria of the fren-
zied one. Next time however it
cannot be said that there will be no
Democratic paper to defend him.
Since that time Mr.. Peterson has
sold out the Reveille. No attack
was made on Mr.. Keefe, neither
was he associated with thieves and
outlaws; it was pointed out just
who he had endorsed for local ap-
pointments and that he had trained
with McDermott of unsavory record
and both facts were true and cannot
be denied.
In fairness to Mr.. Keefe this pa
per recognizes that he has during
the last year endorsed far better
men than formerly. AS far as his
business is concerned there has new
er been charge made and his per-
sonal habits are believed to be good.

Goats as Trail Makers.

The brush eating instinct Of the
Angora goat is being successfully
demonstrated on the Lassen Nation
al Forest in California where they
are cutting trails for fire guards
through the brushy areas on the
slopes Of the mountains.
The animals. which number 5000,
have been divided into two bands
and under the care of the herders
are grazed within certain we'll de-
fined areas so that their work may
be concentrated on the brush within
those limits. The result is that they
have practically killed nearly all the
brush in the course either by eating
it up entirely, or by barking, as in
the case of the heavy manzanita
bushes. At the beginning of the
experiment there was some doubt
as to the goats willingness to eat
the manzanita, but it has been found
that where there is little else they
will just as readily attack it as any
other bushes.
The grazing season was so late
this year on the Lassen Forest that
the goats did not begin operations
until about the middle Of June, but
since then they have made rapid
progress and the result promises to
be a success from every point of
view. The trails will first be opened

DAILY DIET HINTS
By DIR. T. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist.
THE HUMBLE PRUNE.

Prunes, like the apple and the
peanut, are not appreciated in
accordance with their high food
value. Like the goober, the
prune is "humble," associated
with the menu of cheap board
ing house, but repeated expert
ments, in comparison with figs,
dates and other sugar fruits, have
shown the prune to be the best
of all foods of this class; not
only because it yields an easily
digested supply of carbohydrate
or heat giving food, but because
1t contains small percentage
Of acid (the Santa Clara much
less than the Washington
prune), which is a natural anti
dote to auto-intoxlcation; and
prunes have natural laxative
effect.
Dates are good only during
Writer and figs are liable to be
spoiled at any season, but dried
prunes, unless they have been
much exposed during hot wealth
err, are nearly always safe with
out boiling. Thoroughly washed
and soaked for IL hours, the
Santa Clara prune is ready to
eat without sugar. 1t alone, eat
