Representative Adamson took up the
cudgels for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Good Lord" he cried. what could he
do with the blamed strip? Give it away"
Representative Olnssted also rushed to
the ex-President's defense and insisted

tween the United States and Panama

Are Result of Paying Attention to
Dairy Business-DOran Talks on
Dry Farming.

New Salem, Nov. 1S.-(Special.) i. .
Today has been red letter day in
farmers institute work and teachings
of dairylng. A large number of
farmers met in A. O. u. w. hall for
the purpose of listening to addresses
of men learned in the science of agri.
culture and dairying and to exchange
ideas with each other. There were
two features that somewhat 1essened
the value Of the work. one that Prof.
Hoverstad and O. C. Gregg could not
be here and the other that some of
the farmers thought that the date
had been changed or the work was
to be omitted entirely this year.
But a strong force of speakers
consisting of Dairy Commissioner
Flint, Joel G. Winkjer, Prof. l.. G.
Waldron and J. X. Doran were pres
emit. The attendance was good and
a much larger number would have
been present had it not been for the
misunderstanding mentioned above.
But the meeting was one Of the best
of the course and it is certain that
much good was accomplished.
The first work of the day was a
short address by Prof. Waldron on
experiment station work. So we'll
pleased were the people present with
Prof. Waldron that he was repeatedly
called back during the day and show
ed the people why England produced
nearly two and q half times5as much
wheat per acre as North: Dakota on
an average and that it was the result
of crop rotation, tillage and con.
stantly returning to the soil the nee
essary barnyard products that kept
the land in such excellent condition.
He was asked how to get rid Of
wild oats and gave much information
concerning their nature and habits
and that nothing except good careful
cropping, cutting the plant Before it
went to seed or pasturing until the

The thoroughness with which every
the most noticeable characteristics OF
the meeting. To illustrate. The
question came up as to the difference
in value between deep and shallow
blowing. But the farmers present
refused to 60 on until It was decfd ed
what was meant by deep or shallow
The conclusion was arrived at that
eight or more inches was deep plow-
ing and under five inches shallow.
Then the work went right along UNI
til some vague statement happened
to be dropped when specific one was
demanded. This was not in a spirit
of contentiousness but merely for the
sake of accuracy and thoroughness.
1t was stated that results at the Dick
inson station lead to the conclusion
that spring blowing gave as good or
better results in many cases than fall
blowing. The discussion of alfalfa
showed that a number of farmers
were now experimenting with the
plant and that many more were SER
iously considering it.
The Value of Reputation in Butter.
A history, in brief, was given by
Mr.. Flint of the dairy industry of
this part of the sta"e and the results
shown explained the big bank de-
posts Of the farmers around New
Salem and it was shown that where
mea had had much difficulty in get

butter from this section of the state
sold on the track for more than New
York quotations and that New Salem
butter retailed about five cents a
pound more on the city markets of
the state than butter from many
other sections.
The Importance of Cooperative
Creameries.
The dairymen present had treat
in listening to the talks Of Mr.. Wink
jer who was present in the interests
Of the U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture. He talked for an hour and a
half all together andy yet was just as
interesting at the close as at the be-
ginning. But to put 1t briefly he ad-

milk breeds and train young men for

The days work was closed by an
address by Mr.. >Doran upon dry farm
ing in which he stated that dry
farming in this country was simply
good or thorough tillage Of the soil
and did not believe in the theory that
there was not enough rain fall to
produce good crops every year in this
part Of the state instead of every
other year as in the arid regions.
That deep thorough blowing and
proper cultivation would produce
good crops every year but advised TO-
