President Creegan's last Thursday
chapel talk was on the subject of
Friendship. He spoke Of its value to
great men as well as to the ordinary
individual. College friendships are
among those most priced and most en-
during. One cannot jump into a friend
ship which will last many years. 1t is
a thing OF slow growth, therefore tits
important for one not to change his
environment, his school, unless he has
been in 1t long enough to have made
friendships worth while. This ordi-
nartly cannot be done unless one stays
in a college several years.

So with the revolution In agricul-
ture we are entering, but which we
see dimly Out Of it's rapidly advanc-
ing land values, it's hardship on the
poor man, it's pressure, crowding the
improvident to the less desirable lands
of the billy and arid regions. a new
agriculture will be born, one that uses
skilfully what we use wastefully.
Placer Farming.
We have been in the placer phase
of farming up to the present 1t was
easier for u.s. life the early Californian,
to scratch the earth and reap gold
en- harvest, than it was to go slowly,
carefully, putting back what he took
form the soil. The miner has left the
streams, because their sands are sifted
of the gold. He is crushing the mother
libe, and calling to his aid the best
chemistry in the world to enable him
to gather the last trace Of the precious
metal The farmer, who has been
placer mining his field must go with
the forty miner into the shadows. The
man who follows him must be the
skilled workman who can use the force
of nature so as to win a living for
himself, and leave a competence for
his posterity.
The Placer Farmer.
The placer miner did not adjust him
] self to the new conditions forced YInon
him. He passed away. and his place
was taken by men who would meet the
demands Of the occasion. The farmer
of today is master Of his land. It
will outlast his use. 1t may diminish
in returns. 1t may have an increasing
market value and steadily decreas-
ing crop. He may pass the title on to
his son.
The Lessenins Relative Yields.

us still believe-that the land is mex

many different counties. In all fifty
six acres were devoted to this crop.
On this land, 46,627 pounds of the best
grade of hay were produced, or an
average yield of 1880 pounds per acre.
The wheat yields are probably more
interesting than any others. On the
six original farms started in the spring
OF 1906, the smallest yields were 90
bushels per acre at Lakota, the largest
was 41.66 bushels at eBcah. The aver
age was 26.49 bushels. On the six
farms started in 1907, three fields fell
below 20 bushels per acre, and the
average was 1922 bushels per acre.
or the eight farms started this spring,
one was completely hailed out at
jamestown and the wheat on the
Wahpeton farm was drowned out by
a four inch rain early in June. These
farms were not figured in the average
OF the farms started this season. The
averages were 14.4 bushels per acre.
All these farms were scattered
throughout twenty counties of the
state, had probably average condition

application of manure and the rota-
ton Of crops.
For many pears past the experiment
station staff, institute workers and
farm papers have been saying II the
farmers would farm better they could
very materially increase their yields.
The farmers retort has generally been,
You would not do any better your
selves and make living on the farm
The experiment station, by means Of
these demonstration farms, has dem
onstrated in but three years, that the
wheat yields can be more than doubled
as the figures given below Will show.
The United States department of
agriculture estimates the yield of
wheat for North Dakota for 1909 at
1871 bushels per acre.
Demonstration farms started IN 1903

Why Send the Boy to School?
BY Hugh. ]. Hughes

The man who has not some fitting
for life other than stout hands and a
will to labor is going to have a hard
row to hoe in this world. 1 can re-
member when Minnesota was a from
tier state, and the Dalrymple farm
a unique experiment. Today the land
hungry are reaching out after the few
remaining arabic lands in the country
and once these are gone, the chance for
the hired man to work out until he
gets few hundred dollars, and then
buy the boss farm, while the boss goes
west to grow UP again with the coun-
try and will be gone for all time.
Decrease of Public Lands.
Half the public domain, now some
S0O,0O0,0O0 acres, is in Alaska Much of
the balance is in the heart of the
Rocky mountains. There are those
who see in Alaska agricultural possi-
bilities; there are those who believe
that the western deserts will blossom
as the rose. With such, and their be-
liefs, / have no quarrel save to say
that II true, the winning of the land
over to the pillow Is going to take a
type of hardihood and a standard of
living that we fondly hope today may
never be our personal lot to have to
adopt.
AS matter of fact, the orally de-
sirable agricultural lands have already
passed into private ownership Just
the other day the Northern Pacific adj
vanced the price of it's script S4 per
acre. Lands that are rated as agri-
cultural are selling at a good figure,
to the foot hills of the rockies. The
day of cheap farm exploitation is over.
The day of skilled farming has come.
An Agricultural Revolution.
With every passing phase of indus
try we sit back and cry out that oppor-
tunity has left the world, and that the
old days were the good days, and that
their like will never return. If you
could put the man with the first cradle
on western farm of today he would
fare pretty poorly. But no doubt he
ushered in a new era of agriculture as
significant for the man armed with
the cradle, and as discouraging for the
man who had none, as the present
passing Of the public domain is for
the landless man of today When
power machinery displaced the hand
looms of the eighteenth century 1t re-
suited in throwing out of employment
the hand weavers of England. But

are training, scientific knowledge,
broa education, business skill I'd
give my boy all of that sort Of thing I
could, that he might be fitted, as well
as / could fit him, for the business e
farming as it is going to be in the
years TO come.
Give the Boy His Chance.
If he wanted that education, I'd
give him chance. II he didn't want
it, I'd try and make him see that 1t
was worth while to prepare 60 lead,
rather than to follow. For to tho
young man of integrity, willing to
work, able to do, things, and do them
intelligenty and well, the chance is
still good. 1t was never better than 1t
is today. The new agriculture is CALI
ing for these men For them the field
of opportunity is open-wide open
and the bars are down at the other
end.

of the collectors of old china to get to-
gether a complete series of these plates,
not very easy thing to accomplish, as
they have become quite rare and when
ever one is discovered it is held at a

AS for the willow ware not all ex-

of lack of rarity: some of the dishes

highly valued in consequence while it
is most unusual thing for any one to
possess a complete dinner set of the

rare and neither are the platters but
