light narrowing Immediately following
the pillow will not only check evapora-
ton of moisture from below, but will
keep the clods moist SO that they will
rot and easily crumble under the har-
row at subsequent workings. Holding
of the moisture with a surface mulch
caused by narrowing will also help to
rot the trash plowed under and pro-
mote bacterial and funguous growth in
the soil for the alternating of avail
able plant foods for the young wheat
plants to begin growth on. The more
the trash plowed under becomes de-
cayed before wheat sowing, the better
will the soil nourish and feed the new
crop. Trash in the soil which has not
decayed or which is not in a decaying
state, prevents the soil from settling
properly and leaves open cavities un
der the soil unfavorable to good root
growth.
After the wheat ground has been
broken it should receive a light har-
rowing about every week until seed
ing time. Several light borrowings at
intervals of few days are better than
on heavy working for the fact that at
each light working all of the small
weeds are killed while with long inter-
walls the weeds will grow to consider
able size and give trouble. If the late
season should be moist and weeds grow
unduly, discing and narrowing must

The greatest of all waste in this
country is that from soil washing away
and being permanently lost in streams,
lakes and the sea. The total amount
washed away in year from all our
farms is almost incalculable Even one
rain on a single day will carry off tons
from a few acres.
A great part of this soil erosion is
needless, and is the direct conse-
quence of blowing up and cultivating
sloping hillsides. When the soil is
broken by the plow and the roots of the
plants killed which bound it together
there is nothing to hold it in place and
the first heavy rain carries it to lower
levels and finally into the streams tc
be lost
When soil washes away, the best, the
very cream Of the SOIL is taken, which
leaves the land poor, indeed. Not only
into gullies of such magnitude as t
make cultivation of the land difficult
even were it worth cultiVating aftel
a few years washing. In many places
these gullies are deep enough to hid,
a horse.
A great amount of money is expended
annually for keeping navigable river
clean and for deepening their channels
At the same time farmers are allowin,
their richest soils to wash away int,
the rivers. This is a heavy los
both to the farmers and to thos
who use the rivers for TRANSPORTATION
purposes. and in this the farmer i
indirectly interested. hence he is
loser on two sides.
There are some advantages in hill,
land and hill land farming. The hill
afford good air and water drainage
making the hills comfortable and SAM
tary for residence and the land al
ways comparatively dry for workins

Flowing Wheat Ground.
For winter wheat the ground should
be plowed several weeks previous to
seeding. so that it will have plenty of
time to thoroughly esttle for a good
seedbed. If time and teams permit,
the work should be done soon after
harvest, or by the last of July or the
first of August. This will give from six
to eight weeks from the time Of
breaking to that of seeding. Many of
the best wheat growers invariably
pillow their wheat ground around the
first of August each year, and then disc
it once or twice before seeding to kill
the new weed growth.
In preparing land for wheat, or any
of the grasses, it is best to get the
soil in a very compact and fine condi-
ton. The seeds of wheat are small and

ton and the establishment of a good
root system to carry the plants sue
cessfully yer winter. There is little
danger Of making wheat ground soil
too fine or too compact, especially in
dry fall. Extra work in this matter
pays we'll. Young wheat growers are
apt to slight the work of preparing the
wheat seeded, believing that light
working is enough. The older and
more experienced wheat grower knows
that the soil must be worked we'll,
and that when it seems to be worked
down and in good condition, it should
receive one or two more harrowings or
similar workings. The land should be
made just as fine, compact and smooth
as surfacing tools will make it:

the journey which King Edward made

the visit which King Carlos had paid to

SANDWICHES.

When preparing sandwiches for a

good way to keep them fresh is to

then be put away in a cool place until

MORE SANITARY FARGO.

The city health officer has issued
his initial spring warning to Fargo
ans to clean up their premises. His
call for action is timely. The first evil
dences OF spring are here-and the
winters accumulation of filth and
debris should be removed before 1t
becomes a menace to the health of the
citizens.
The cooperation of the property
owners with the health Oficials-an
earnest effort on the part of the resi-
dents to assist in this work will get
results Every property owner should
make a special effort to be first to
place his home and surroundings in as
sanitary a position as possible.
1t will take no longer to remove OBJ
jectionable matter now than later-it
will cost no more-and everything
carted away now is guaranty against
disease breeding. Fargo needs no cpl
denies Of typhoid and other diseases to
brighten away prospective residents
and retard the growth of the city.

In the interest OF better water supply.
There Is something fearfully re-
pugnant over the possibility of drink
Ing water containing even the most
infinitesimal contamination from a
dead body. Should the stream be poll
luted from seepage from a grave in
which reposed the remains Of some
one who had died after virulent at
tack Of typhoid-the natural conclusion
is that the water would not be health
full for drinking or for domestic pur-
poses. s1A'
BY locating the pumping station
beyond the cemetery, the city might
avoid the possibility of an epidemic
that would cost the city thousands of
times more than the extra expenditure
required to pipe the water a mile or so
further.
The Forum is not an alarmist--but
this matter Is so important-even II
somewhat grewsome-that II is hoped
the matter will be properly investi
gated before the station is moved.

NEWS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The exigencies of a political situa-
ton must be great to demand-or seem
to-that a partisan political paper
should maliciousIy misrepresent a man
of the character of c. A. Wheelock.
In a paid advertisement in the col
umns of The News Mr.. Wheelock had
stated his position. Despite that the
paper assails his integrity and gives
the. lie to his statements. The de-
spicable methods of the democratic
sheet in this matter will not soon be
forgotten by the people of Fargo
whether they are friends or opponents
of Mr.. Wheelock. There is such a
thing as newspaper fairness-but it is
apparently not in the lexicon of the
multi-named organ of disruption and
pessimism.

ALpERMANIc RESULTS.

Every old member of the city cOun
terday's contest The results might
be construed as meaning that the 'ins"
had a. great age-or that the
voters endorsed the present city ad
ministration. In fact there may have
been something Of both factors. The
holding members had a wide acquaint
ance-and as none of them were graft
ers-the people preferred them to un-
tried men. The fact was generally
recognized that the administration of
Mayor Elliott has been a clean, bust
ness-like affair and the voters favored
its continuance. .s.
The voters gave the lie to the
charges that the council had been
dominated by bosses and the members
were the tools of certain interests.
OF the seven men chosen five are
present members. Aldermen Cole,
Clapp, Hodges and Tibert were re-
elected over their opponents-and Am
erland had no opposition. OF the new
men, Landlord Bolene won in the Sec
ond over Ole Berg and C., A. Bowers
had the field all to himself in the fifth.
The personnel of the new council
will be generally satisfactory to the
people of Fargo and there should be a
continuance of the excellent record of
the present administration.
Just what-if any-infiuence the
Good Government league had is prob
lematical. The league endorsed six
candidates in six of the seven wards
sidestepping the second OF the six
men endorsed only four had opposition
OF these four two won and two lost

was active in its opposition Of both
Cole and Tibert. These two men won

Trains Going West.
WATERWoRKS SITE.

Now that the bond issue has been
carried there is likely TO be some criti
cism of the choice of the site for the
new plant. The Forum refrained-
during the recent campaign-from in
ietting that feature into the fight, for
he situation was sufficiently compli-
Gated.
There appears to be considerable
criticism of the plan to establish the
station on the site selected by the
council. This is for various reasons
addition to the city. The Forum does
not take that view of it. In fact
If that point OF land on which the sta
lion is to be located is wanted for
residence property-it will certainly be
more desirable with the plant else
whereas the smoke will be a con-
slant annoyance. 1t looks to The For
um as If the adjoining property would

out of the danger Of ordinary floods.
To that extent it would be much more
desirable than the present site.
But The Forum believes the most
serious objection to the proposed loca-
tion--or to any other for a mile and a
half south-is that sewage from the
Riverside cemetery enters the river
above the intake pipe.
1t looks extremely foolish for the
city of Fargo to go to such an expense
to improve the purity of it's water sup
ply-and place the intake pipes nearer
the cemetery than they are at present.
There is no one who will contend
that the seepage from the cemetery
would improve the condition of the
water. 1t might prove exceedingly
dangerous. The distance from the
cemetery to the new site is not much
over a mile, air line. The water would

popular idea that running water will
purify itself every three miles. The
Forum does not know that this is d
scientific fact. The distance between
the cemetery and the rev station is
much less than that.
Before the council expends any more
norey on a waterworks station would
1t not be wise to consider this question
of pollution from the cemetery? II
there is the least possibility of danger
In this respect-would 1t not be one OF
the best investments the municipality
could make-to locate the station al

It would cost a considerable sum tt
