The Shreveport Chapter was honored
by the presence of the State historian
U. D. G.. Mrs. ]. s. Allison of Ben
ton. who was personally interested in
the Confederate monument plans, as
the Richard Hancock Chapter to which
she belongs has in view the erection of
a memorial column in the town of Ben

jectionable terms as war of the rebel
lion, and rebel" Briefly stated Mrs.
Allison said the only Southern writer
accorded an article in the readesr was
Henry w. Grady and of him no bio
sketch was given. The atten-
ton of the State Board of Education
was called to this serious objection by
Mrs. Mary E. Robinson, chairman of
the committee. The one concession was
that all Objectionable terms and phrases
should be eliminated and biographical

Libraries of all the schools in the State,
Mrs. Allison asked the president, Mrs.

medal for the best essay on the subject.
For, said the speaker, it is upon the
children we must depend to keep the
air escutcheon of dear old Dixie Land
pure and untarnished. Mrs Allison's
address closed with the following pa
riotic verse:
In all the world no land so fair
As Dixie, old Dixie.
The women nowhere quite so dear
As Dixie's, old Dixie.
There manhood never fails to dare
To do the right in spite of fear,
And business there is on the square,
In Dixie, old Dixie.
lust let the sons and daughters too
OF Dixie, dear Dixie,
70 her ideals be always true
As Dixie's, old Dixie
Ter men are brave, her women pure,
Then come what may, they'll never rue
But onward, upward just as sure
As heavens above, goes Dixie.

L, $40 acres of land just northwest O
the City of Fargo.
On this section of land are locat
ed all the buildings, the gardens, the
! experimental plots-everything con
nected with the College and, Station
About half the farm is given ovel
to the uses of the College and Elk.
pertinent Station, the remaining hall
is run on the same basis as a we'll
TODD farmer would handle his land
From this part we try to get the best
possible average returns. The part
given over to experiment purposes
costs heavily for running expenses,
because the plots are small and
many OF the experiments while nece-
ssary and in the end of large value
to the state, bring in no immediate
adequate returns for the time and
labor spent upon them.
The farm has lit e or no advan-
|tage over the average valley farm as
to location or drainage. The ground
is low and the drainage poor. 1t
follows that nearly all the problems
that face the farmer face the men
handling the Experiment Farm.
Directly connected in business
way with this Farm are the five sub
stations, and twenty experimental
farms scattered over the state. Be-
tween these twenty-six farms, every
climatic condition and variety of
soil is covered.
Glover, timothy, bronze alfalfa corn
for ensilage, and all the small grain
crops are grown.
The Farm aims to supply it's own
roughage but buys largely Of mill
feed and grain.
Twenty work horses, seventy-five
cattle 100 hogs, $50 sheep comprise
the stock at present on the Farm. 500
chickens will be Matched during the
season and a flock of 40 hens is
kept the year round.
During the summer considerable
reduction will be made in the stock,
in order to give the pastures a bet
ter chance, and to insure barn room
for next winter.
