testing strains Of seed to get, if pos
sible, an immune fax. Last year
seven distinct selections of fax were
distributed to some fifty different
farmers located in different portions
of the state. The object of the work
was to ascertain whether these select
strains of wilt resistant flax would
retain their resistance in the differ
ent farming regions of the state. The
farmers who went into the co-opera-
tive experiments with Prof. Bolley
agreed not to sell or dispose of any
of their seed until after the second
crop.
Reports from these experiments in
dictate that progress has been gained
toward a resistant strain of fax. One
letter, from Maj. j. S. Murphy of
Ward county, says:
"A year ago 1 got thirty pounds of
resistant flax seed from you. plant
ed it on soil that seemed to be thoro-
ughly t1ax-sick. Up to the time the
crop began to blossom it was thin
and rather spindling, though I think
it all grew. 1 also sowed a strip of
Minnesota Primrose fax minnesota
25,) between this fax and the Min
nesota Primrose flax I planted
patch of millet twenty-five feet wide.
The primrose flax, about two acres,
was not worth cutting.
after your resistant flax came in
to bloom it showed more vitality and
filled out in fine shape. From the
thirty pounds I got sixteen bushels
and twenty-four pounds of nice flax.
The seed is plump and nice. I have
graded out about two bushels of the
smallest seed and shall SOW the same
about May "a or Is. am thoroughly
convinced that this fax is immune
from willis. I have no flax-sick land
upon which to sow all of this seed.
am going to plant it on ground that |
was f1ax-sick in 1907, upon which |
raised corn and millet last year. Will |
let you know the results"
Other farmers have reported even |
higher yields than that given by Mr.. |
Murphy and in a number of cases |
Professor Bolley visited the fields |
and knows to a certainty that the |
ground was thoroughly flax-sick. The |
results for the first years work are
very encouraging. A new circular |
letter has been sent out to the differ
emit farmers in cooperation in this
work which gives full directions as
to seeding for the second years test.
The seed is again to be sown upon
as sick land as the persons growing
it can possibly secure. The result of
The two years trial given with the
which have been con-
1ucted at the experiment station for
/ number OF years, will allow a prop
n conclusion to be drawn regarding
he value of the seed as to disease
If the experiments result in the
production of an immune seed, the
agricultural college will again have

''PUBLIC SENTIMENT" AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT.

Without going into the merits or
dement's of the state prohibition law
and admitting for the sake of argu-
ment, or to prevent an argument, the
Bismarck Tribune reiterates what it
has on several proper or improper
occasions declared-the child born
today will not live long enough to see
the return of the saloon, the licensed
and unmuzzled grog shop, in this
state.
The passing of the saloon is noted
all over the country, and this in the
face of the fact that prohibition-the
mere enactment-does not and will
not prohibit. But public sentiment
is so strong against the evil Of the
old condition of liquor selling that it
is just now impossible to make any
Roadway with theories of some sort
of control of the traffic other than
through absolute prohibition.
And why doesn't prohibition pro-
hibit? Why are not the provisions
Of the prohibition law enforced?
Certainly an open saloon is prefer
able to bling pig" 1t is not as
degrading. 1t is at least in the open,
and the character of those who traf-
fic in intoxicants and the quality of
the liquor dispersed under the pres
ent conditions do not appeal to the
citizen of self-respect, or the father
of the boy upon whom the respon-
sfbilfties Of business and government
must soon rest.
The citizen, the official, who coun-
tenances, upholds and tolerates the
blind pig element in Bismarck and
excuses his action or inaction on the
theory that the same or similar con-
ditions exist elsewhere and that the
capital city is no worse than other
places, commits an gorgeous and in
excusable blunder. Some good and
well-meaning citizens do not believe
in constitutional prohibition and de-
sire resubmission with view of sub
stituting some other method of deal
ing with the liquor evil, but the con-
summation of this desire, if possible
at all, can come only after the ex-
haustion of every legitimate effort to
enforce the laws now on the statute
books.
The Tribune has stated before, and
reiterates, that if the peace officers
of this city and county want to rid
the community of blind piggers they
can do it. If the judge of this dis
trict, the sheriff and states attorney,
the city commissioners, the chief of
police, constables, and justices of the
peace really want the prohibition law
enforced-if they really want to ban
ish the blind pigger-they can do it.
It is nonsense to hide behind that
intangible nothingness of public
opinion" Public opinion changes
mighty quick when there is some
thing doing. Anyhow it will not par
ticu1arly outrage public sentiment"
for peace officers to attempt to do
their duty under the law.
.lese same hesitating and weak
kneed officials, should they under-
take some time to simply do their
plain, honest duty, might find an ap-
proving public sentiment" right be-
hind them. Is it asking too much of
them to urge such action-such an at
tempt at law enforcement-as will
demonstrate where, or what, is
public sentiment"

STRAWBERRIES LIKE RICH SOIL.

The largest expense in growing
strawberries is in the hoeing, weed
ing and cultivating necessary, there
fore, If you can double the yield of
strawberries by making the soil very
rich, you will be more than repaid by
adding this excessive. supply of fer
tility.
Remember that your strawberry
plantation will require no more hoe
ing, wedding or horse cultivation on
rich soil than on poor soil. Thus, If
you can increase the yield from 100
bushels an acre to 200 bushels an
acre by adding $50 worth of COM
mercial fertilizer, or other fertilizers,
you can readily see how profitable
will be the investment in this. fer
tilizer.
1t is true that you can raise a good
fair crop Of strawberries on almost
any soil which will produce a good
fair crop of corn or potatoes. Most
people are satisfied with an ordinary
crop Of strawberries, such as can be
secured on this ordinary soil, but I
state positively that you can make no
better investment than to heavily fer
tilize every inch of the land you have
planted to strawberries.
When to enrich the strawberry
plantation is an important question.
II you intend to apply barnyard ma
/ nure, It is well to spread It upon the
land, the season previous TO setting
out the strawberry plantation. If
you can not apply IT then, another
good plan is to cover the strawberry
plantation with good stable manure
at the opening of the winter or dur
ing winter. This will enrich the bed
II left on until the spring rains are
over, but the objection to this plan is
that the fruit bearing beds are re-
seeded with the weeds of seeds and
grass which can only be removed at
considerable expense. If commercial
fertilizers are to be applied, you
should wait until the strawberry
plants have made some growth, so
that they may be ready to take up
the plant food Therefore, in July,
go over the newly planted strawberry
bed and scatter the fertilizer between
the plants and between the rows so
that It covers pretty nearly all of the
ground. Be careful not TO allow the
fertilizer to fall upon the leaves OF
the plants, especially II they are
moist, as commercial fertilizers viii

CLIMBING EVERGREEN.

The climbing euonymus tEuony-
mus Japonica, var. radicans) is a
plant that ought to be better known
as a vine. It is often seen in masses,
used as a low shrub for covering bare
spots, and for this 1t is very we'll
adapted, but it is also of great merit
as a true vine for walls, trees, rocks,
etc. 1t clings as tenaciously TO a
rough surface as does the English
ivy Its leaves are small, and growth
is slow, two attributes which fit the
plant we'll for use on low wall. Be-
sides the green form, there is also a
variegated leaved one that is extreme
ly decorative. Both are perfectly
hardy in Indiana, and for some dis
tances north. Their small, beautl-
full, shiny green leaves, about an inch
across, are evergreen. It is quite
easy to establish either as a vine on
a wall or as a ground cover. Plant
in early spring in a rich soil.-Indian-

CURRANTs FROM CUTS.

It is no trick to grow currant
bushes, by planting cuttings in Sep
TENDER.
Cut the new shoots to eight to ten
inch lengths. Spade up a small piece
of ground very deep, putting on first
four inches of well-rotted manure.
Pulverlze the soil, making 1t fine as
garden seed bed.
Set the cuttings in this, say four
by four inches, or four by six.
Put them down so as to leave only
one inch above the surface
Upon the approach of winter mulch
the patch with straw or hay to pre-
vent heaving out. Cuttings so set
will callous in the fall and start root
growth.
They will be ready for an early
start in the spring, and with favor
able season you will have vigorous
bushes the next fall.-Indianapolis

MILK AND MILKING.

Many people believe that milk is
ready-made and stored in the udder
Of the COW simply awaiting the
mixer. This impression is corrected
by the statement of the we'll known
scientist John Burroughs, who says:
Most persons think that giving down
or holding up the milk by the COW is
a voluntary act, In fact, they fancy
that the udder is a vessel filled with
milk and that the COW releases or
witholds 1t just as she chooses. But
the udder is a mandatory; It is
filled with blood from which the milk
is manufactured while you milk.
This process is controlled by the cows
nervous system; when she is excited
or in any way disturbed as by a
stranger, or by taking away her calf,
or any other cause, the process is ar
rested and the milk will not flow.
The nervous energy goes elsewhere.
The whole process is as involuntary
as is digestion in man and is dis
turbed or arrested in about the same
way"
