Primost flax seems to be the COM

who have grown this variety, have
nothing but words of praise for it.
j. W. Smith of Surrey has
grown it successfully for three
years and pronounce it a great resist
er of wilt. Some seed fax firms ad-
vertise a fax that is wilt proof, but
there is no such fax seed. The
Primost however colncs as near to
being wilt proof as any on the mar
ket. Mr.. Smith had no trouble in
disposing of all the Primost seed he
has to spare, selling to Chas. Eaton
of Surrey and J. B. Taylor Of Minot
Primost fax will average seven and
eight bushels per acre where other
kinds fail altogether, and in good
years. is bound to go three or four
bushels an acre better than other
kinds. The fax was introduced a few
years ago by the Minnesota Agricul'
tural experiment station. .','7.a

Have you been offered immune

While this fax shows remarkable

There will probably not be as much
wheat sown in North Dakota this
year as usual, but we do not see why
the farmers will not be just as we'll
off. OF course, the present high
price. of wheat makes this a tempt
ing crop Wheat should not ordin-
arily be sown after May 20 in North
western North Dakota. This is the
limit that many of the old time farm
ers have given it, altho it sometimes
natures if sown as late as June 1.
After that date, oats and barley Will
mature barley being a good crop to
SOW especially late. The farmers
should not get in too much OF a hur-
~, even tho the season Is little
late. It will be far better to let
some of your land rest and summer
fallow it rather than merely scratch
the stubble and drill in TIE seed
Every year some farmers SOW some
wheat on stubble, which they mere
ly disc up. This is not considered
good farming. What is worth dong
at all, is worth doing well.

Ward county's crop outlook for

cago by w. H. Mann:
April fool had none Of the disap-
pointing features that April fool, a
down Fastener. The sun arose
majestically and set glorious. All
ready the kong of the wild goose
is heard overhead, and the clink of
the drill chain, is heard abroad in
the land. Farmers all rested up. are
bent on an extra effort, and are
bouyant with hopes of a two million
bushel crop in 1909. Can they do
it? Our soil is the best in the world
Our altitude is perfect. Our air
drainage is perfect. Our suns light
is perfect. Our summer heat is per-
feet And our rainfall Is
perfect. With an increased acre
age, we think we can. Already
April IS our farmers are out at
work upon the broad fields. With
their teams, their harrows, and grain
drills from early morn till early
might. Fully alert, full of blue blood
and ambition. Cracking their whips,
and whistlng Yankee Doodle.

Of the company, in assisting him te

COVER UP DEFECTS
REASON FOR CLOTHING THE HO'
MAN FORM DIVINE.
According to Writer In London PERI
odicai, Vanity Is Responsible for
Garments Prescribed by
Present Fashion.

It was the opinion of Cetawayo. .
noble African monarch who despised
all garments, that we took to clothing
to keep ourselves clean, because we
were too lazy to wash ourselves. This,
however, was an error on his ma1estys
part The simple fact is that we
adopted clothes because we were
ashamed of our appearance, says
writer in London Ideas.
To begin with, leg coverings were
invented to conceal bony knees and
shapeless calves. Boots were artfully
devised to curtain OF ugly feet from
the public gaze and silence loud 1eers.
The hat, it is easy to see, was the
crafty invention of some frivolous
patriarch with a bald head, who was
anxious to hide it in order that he
could cut q youthful figure with the
ladies'.
Gloves were devised by pretentious
women of the lower middle class IN
Herculaneum, who wanted to pose a.
xsntlefolk. Having to do their own
Homework, they hit upon this ingeni'
ous plan Of covering the redness and
rouehuess, Of their hands. Thus. they
were able to cut dash and delude So
ciety into the belief that they. kept
servants. Hence the name kidd
gloves.
Socks derived their name originally
from shocks, as describing the eject
frequently produced on the mind BY
the spectacle Of feet In their naked
size and simplicity.
Shirts, and, after them, doublets and
coats, were resources to cover pigeon
breasts, hollow chests and curved
spines. The collar is development
of the silken scarf or bandage, hrst
worn by that hideous old porcupine'
Ramsses l., pharaoh Of Egypt, to con
ceal 4 boil on his neck.
Coming to the face, we md the
veil. This was introduced owing to
the annoyance occasioned to King
Ptolemy by the countenance OF one OF
his ladies. She developed a squint,
and one day the king, being uncertain
whether she was cycling him or not,
shouted furiously: Cover that WON
ans facet" The offensive countenance
was instantly obscured by window
curtain torn down by a resourceful
courtier. And thus wells for OBJ
1ectionable faces rapidly became pop
ular.
Now. we have been told, and are
constantly being told again, by count
less scientists, that in strength and
beauty we are a deteriorating race
Our forefathers-and mothers-had
their little flaws In figure, but, com
pared with us, they were perrec'
Venuses and Adonises.
A high authority says that scarce
" one man in hundred is properly
proportioned, and most women would
be shapeless without the cunning
curves of their stays" Another stern
authority says: I'VE are physically
degenerate people, round shouldered
sunken Joined, narrow chested, crook
ed ribbed. splay footed, knock kneed
short winded and weak backed"
So, on the whole, clothes are moi
only desirable, but indispensable. Te
cast them off and permit an astonlsheC
universe to see us as we really are
would be a great mistake.
