as seems likely, more potato houses will
be needed. This years crop has been gem
orally successful, and farmers are gstting
ready for another year. Among the sue
cessful growers are: Frank Beai, Bucks
port, who had ten acres. Three OF these
yielded ], 800 bushels, or 433 to the acre,
the banner yield. Capt. B. R. Stubs
probably comes next with over 700 bushels
from two acres. Charles Soper, OF Orland,
harvested over 400 bushels from ten
acres. DR.. Towie, OF Bucksport. has about
1850 bushels; Robert Randall 2.500
bushels. Walter L. Brewster has {, 100
bushels, and there are many others having
from 500 to 1000 bushels. These figures
are for merchantatle potatoes only, and
they are OF fine quality, not troubled with
rot.

writes: The Gloucester fishing schooner
Tattier, hcmeward bound from the banks,
may have the largest fare Of cod (5i0, 900
pounds) to be landed in Gloucester, but
certainly not, as has been claimed, the
largest fare ever brought into an Atlantic
port. Not only did Capt. T. NJ. Niehol-
son. of Bucksport, in command of the
schooner Arthur IS. Woodruff, eclipse
that record by 10000 pounds on her
maiden voyage in 1855, but in the same
vessel, in command OF the late veteran
skipper, Capt. John Peterson, of Penob-
scot, we exceeded the Tattler's catch for
three consecutive seasons, landing in 1900
81, 900 pounds OF cod. Being familiar
with the capacity Of the Tattler, venture
to assert that ner fare has been exceeded
by the schooners Grace E. Littleton,
Lizzie Matherson, and Cora 8. NcKoy, OF
Provincetown, Mass, and the schooner
F. d. Hodgkins, OF Lamoine.

CASE CONTINUED.
ESTATE WORTH 100000

With the return of Peter Pei
issier, who travelled incog, from
Boston the first of the week came
news of new developments in the
case of Dan B. Russell who is striv-
ing to secure his share Of the es-
tate left by his father. Among
the chief items Of interest is the
recently developed fact that the
entire estate, instead Of being
worth $500, 900 as was reported at
first, will come nearer 500, 900.
Dams half of this will make him
a real rich man with a bank de.
posit of $3.50, 900.
Dan Russell through his attorney,
l.. A. Simpson. has called for a
recounting Of the entire estate.
Pete says that Dan will be able
to produce what is known as q
cloud of witnesses to prove him
self the identical Dan mentioned
in the last will and testament.
Should trickery deprive Dan Of his
share in his fathers estate he is
bound to get the funds left by
his mother who made him her
heir.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the court on July Is
at viii Oh time the cause was es
tablished. The Judge was about
to depart on his outing and af'
ter hearing the examination Of
a number Of witnesses put the case
over the September term.
The Russells and L. A. Simpson
will return to Dickinson and
await the first Of September
Dickinson Post.

|Short Farm TalkS]
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE T.


The Beach Demonstration Farm
was established in 1906 in connec-
ton with the Experiment Station
at Fargo. It is situated two miles
east of Beach.
This farm has the distinction Of
having produced the largest yields
of wheat of any Of the demonstra-
ton farms for the past three years,
and the present outlook is good
for sustaining the record. Last
year the soil at this time was wet
down about fifteen inches; this
year is down more than three feet.
Last year the May rainfall was
2.42 inches; this year it amounts
to 7.O5 inches.
The weed problem does not both
er here. The land is new, the aim
is to produce large crops, and at
the same time maintain the fer
tility of the soil.
Continuous cropping to wheat can
not do this. The result would be
lessened yields; impoverished land;
weeds; the land would blow.
This would result in loss Of fertility
and of crops. Good seed and
thorough tillage; a good rotation;
these must be largely depended
upon to produce the desired re-
suits.
Glover, peas, or alfalfa must be
grown to maintain the fertility Of
the soil. It is put into our rota-
tion once in every five years.
These crops should be fed, and to.
gether with all manure from the
barn yards. all straw rotted. should
be returned to the soil. These
crops gather nitrogen from the air
and build up the soil, and manure
maintains the humus. and returns
very largely the potash and phos.
phorus taken from the land in the
crop. It will also hold the soil sc
that it will not drift.
The application Of a good coat Of
manure once in every five years,
and a cultivated crop grown once
in that time will result in more
wheat being grown during the per
iod than could otherwise be done
by continuous wheat cropping
while the fertility of the land il
maintained.
This is the problem facing ever,

On Saturday afternoon the pack
age race from Honolulu harbor to
Kaena Point and back to the club
house at Pearl Harbor will take
place. A start will be made at six
o'clock in the afternoon, and the
race. which will be the last OF the
season, will be very interesting
one.
The yacht Hawaii will be anchor

no marks have to be passed. The
package is simply to be taken from
the Hawaii and delivered in as fast
time as possible to Pearl Harbor.
The Kapolei may start in the race,

P Prospects Bright
For Good Fight

As the night approaches on which
Cullen and Reilly will do battle for
the lightweight championship of
these islands. people are wondering
II the newcomer is going to wrest
the title from the holder.
Cullen's supporters feel confident
that their man can win, and they
are backing their opinion freely.
Cullen is an old warrior at the box
ing game, and is wise to all the
finer points of the sport.
Reilly is clever little man and
is going to put up the fight of his
life against the challenger for the
championship honors. Professor
Bob Ross is mighty pleased with
Reilly, and Sonsideres his charge
has an excellent chance of winning.
Yesterday afternoon faithful few
faced the rain and mud down the
Marine Camp way, and were reward
ed by seeing five rounds of real good
stoush handed out Richards, the
husky 1876 pound scrapper, took a
few rounds of wallops from Reilly,
and now and again returned them In
style.
After Richards had been dealt
with, Nelson. who is always willing
to spar with anybody, put on the
gloves with Charlie. The Marine is
a big husky guy and rolls into his
man with vim. He is so big and
strong that IL looked as II the little
man would not have chance
against the giant. Reilly, however,
can duck in and land blows where
they will do the most good, and II is
no cinch of job to box with him.
During one rally yesterday after
noon Charlie poked his right out
good and hard to Nelson's larder,
and the Marine swearAhe felt Reil-
ly's fist hit his backbone. The lit
tie fellow can certainly hit like a
! kicking mule, and when punch
lands fairly the man who gets 1t
looks not only astonished, but posi-
lively panied.
Sarconi is in pilikia and has n
broken rib to nurse; 1t apSears that
the Bugler was hit by baseball last
week, and then, in sparring with
Reilly, stopped punch Of the light
weight with his injured rib. The
force of the blow doubled Sarconi up
in pain, and now he has been for
hidden to box for some time by the
doctor.
Young Terry will probably go up
against Franklin now that Sarconi
is out of the game. and 1t is possible
that a second preliminary between
Richards and Nelson will be fought
Reilly will do his last boxing this
afternoon, and for the. balance OF
the week will take things fairly
easy. Cullen is also winding up his
work and is in the best of condition
he feels confident that he can get tn,
decision from Reilly. and everything
points to rafting good exhibition
OF boxing which no one should miss

ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor Of the King Drag
Discovered His Method.

D. Ward King Of Maitland. Mo, in
ventor of the King method of road
dragging, has a theory which practi e
has demonstrated to be correct. 1t is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
be dragged with light drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
1t leaves roadbed as smooth and per
feet as a city street.
The discovery of this method and the
more important discovery of Mr.. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on small but well improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
movement as national or state issue,
but the four miles of road from his
farm to Maitland were of great interest
to him, says the st. Louis Globe-DemO-
crat. The road was of that soft. sticky
red clay that in wet weather clings to
ClIe wagon wheels in great Jumps and
dry weather is as hard as Il rock and
almost as injurious TO MusJn tires.
dig deep rutS. and when the road dried
up the ruts would remain. At best the
road was very poor Many times when
wheat was selling ut Il good price and
Mr.. King had many bushels of it the
road would be SO bad that he could
not haul it to the market, ana when
the road finally became passable the
market would be low again.
After many experiments he con-
structed small, light drag, using two
Old timbers connected with light strips,
and began to drag the road in front of
his residence After each rain he
would run the drag over it, and when
the sun came out and the road dried
up it was in perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many of his
neighbors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who did not say anything believed he
was crazy. But the experiments proved
that Kings method was successful,
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road in front
Of his farm. His neighbors took 1t up,
and in few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
IN Missouri.
George b. Ellis. secretary of the state
board of agriculture heard of Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him to speak at the farmers institute
in his neighDorhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, he
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for a series of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and Is
devoting all of his time to preaching
the gospel of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts of Missouri and hundreds Of con-
vertS have Lpen made. after every
rain in Missouri hundreds of farmers
drag the Is in front of their farms,
and the nu:Ghcr Of these volunteer
road workers is increasing every week.
