The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1910-06-02

Fargo, N. D., May 2S.-That mod.
ern methods of dry farming would add
S51, 1929 900 to the, farm value Of the
wheat yield of North Dakota, IS assert
ed by j. H. Worst, president Of the
North Dakota Agricultural College,
and executive committeeman for this
state Of the Dry Farming Congress,
which will hold its fifth annual session
at Spokane October 3, to s. North
Dakota had 6,625,00O acres of wheat
last year; the production totaled 9O7,-
100000 bushels, an average Of 1887
bushels an acre, and the farm value Of
the crop, Dec. /, was $S3,501,000 &C
cording to the year book Of the de-
partment, of agriculture for 1909.
Under modern scientific dry farm
methods, President Worst asserts, the
acre average yield should be .22.22
bushels. o.
On 6,625,0O0 acres this average
would give a total production of 147,-
POI 500 bushels, an increase Of 56,445,-
500 bushels over the actual yield last
year. AS computed by the United
States department Of agriculture, at
practically 50 cents bushel, the farm
value of the possible crop would be
$135,43O, 1000, an increase Of $51, 1920
over the figures as given for 1909.
Basis For the Estimates.
Mr.. Worst bases his estimate of the
acre-average production under dry
farm methods upon the results Of ex'
detrimental work carried on attwenty-
four stations conducted under the di-
rect supervision Of the state agricul
tural college. At each Of these sta.
tons twenty-four acres is devoted to
experimental work with small grains
and other crops in rotation. -Four
! fve-acre tracts at each station are
used for different crops. The crops
used in the rotations areclover, oats,
Canadian field peas, corn and wheat.
Five-year rotations have been prac-
ticed at the stations. Glover or field
peas have been planted the first
year and the crop cut for hay, corn
was the second year crop; then wheat
was grown for two years, and the fifth
year, oats. The tracts were treated
with manure the first year, and the
plan is to repeat this treatment ev-
ery five years, using five to ten wagon
loads to the acre, according to the
soil conditions. g#r i j
Deep Flowing Practiced.
Deep blowing is practfced wherever
possible. In the drier sections the
ground is broken six inches deep and
narrowed once Immediately after
blowing. It is narrowed after each
rain to conserve the moisture. A
press drill ID used for seeding. When
tho crop is up three inches a weeder
is used. Only pedigreed seed is used
on the experiment farms. The seed

Governor Carroll and the state

similar property located therein,

tions to file full and complete re-
ports of their operations with the
department of commerce and labor
at regular intervals" the president
says.
He also proposed to prohibit cor
porations from asquiring stock in
other corporations.
In discussing the possible objec-
tions to his plans, the president says
that recent decisions have been SO
sweeping that only three doors are
open to corporations. They must
resolve themselves into their compo-
nent parts with loss to themselves
"and to the country" They must
run in defiance of the law or as a
third possibility they can accept his

of the supreme court upheld the
/ law, the president says:
"The value of the statute, which
! is rendered more and more certain by
a long line of decisions by the SUI
| preme court of the United States:
furnishes strong reasons for leaving
the act as it is"
Duty TO Investigate Trusts.
He declares that it is the duty Of
/ the department of justice, under the
present law, to investigate all
trusts, and says:
But such an investigation, and
possible prosecution of corporations
whose prosperity affect the comfort
not only of the stockholders but of
millions of wage earners and en-
ployees and associated tradesmen
must necessarily tend to disturb
confidence in the business commun-
ity, and to dry up the new flowing
sources of capital from it's places,
boarding and produce a halt in our
prosperity that will cause suffering
and strained circumstances among
the innocent for the faults of the
guilty few"
He says that he desires to pro-
cure a means of bringing corpora
tions into the pale Of the law, and
to prevent any business disasters. /
He offers the proposition of the fed
eral charter as the means of gaining
this purpose, saying:
"In dealings therefore, with men
who have used methods condemned |
by statute, for the purpose of main
tanning profitable business, we may /.
we'll facilitate change by them in !
the method of doing business, and |
enable them to bring it back into |

BAKERSFIELD WANTS TO
JOIN THE STATE LEAGUE

San Francisco, Jan. Tt was an
nounced here today thatBakersfield' S
chances of securing franchise from
the California State League rests on
San Jose's action in lettering trans
portation to that city's ball park.
The committee which was appointed
to consider a sixth city for the lea
ue, was waiting today for PROPOSE
tons from both Bakersfield and San
Jose
j. Cal Ewing, one of the commit
tee. said,
Eve must know definitely what
propositions are offered. With San
Jose IL is largely a case of adequate
tSSnspostation facilities to the
grounds AS things stand now, San
Jose is handicapped on that ac-
count, and unless something better
is promised Bakersfield may secure
the franchise"

AMBASSADOR
REID MAY
LOOSE JOB
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrrn.1

London, Jan. Efforts are being
made today to learn whether Ameri-
can ambassador Whitelaw Reid au-
thorized the publication of a letter he
wrote to Sir Charles Walpole, a
protectionist candidate for parlia-
ment, which the Drotectionists are
using as campaign material.
The liberals are said to be behind
the Investigation. 1t is said that If
they are successful in proving the
contents of the letter were made pub
lie under the ambassadors authoriza-
tion they will charge Reid with in
terfering in English politics, and
may take steps looking toward his
recall.
The letter in question concerned
itself with the condition of the Amer
lean unemployed. Reid is said to
have asserted in it that the stories
of their suffering under the present
economic conditions in the United
States are greatly exaggerated.
The letter deprecating the reported
deplorable efforts of protection on
the American unemployed, is said to
have furnished Walpole and other
English protectionists much valuable
material for their English "protec.
ton" fight.
Ambassador Reid is now en- route
TO the United States to attend the |
funeral Of his late father-in-law, the |
late d. o. Mills, who died in Califor-
MIA. At the American embassy the !
statement was made today that the |
letter was written long before the !

lion discussion in England, and was

Queen of Falxirs.
Mrs. Johnson has been denominat.
ed the queen of fakirs, and she is
probably deserving OF the appella-
tion, as 1t is alleged that she has de-
frauded almost every railroad west
of the Missouri river She was re-
Gently discharged from custody in
seattle, where she was arrested on
the charge of defrauding a railroad,
but no sooner was she released than
she was taken to Pendleton, where
she was wanted for the issuing of
some worthless checks, but fortune
again smiled on her, as II has often
done in her career, and she was set
free. But IL was but a repetition of
the Seattle affair, as she was imme-
diately arrested again on the charge
of defrauding the Northern Pacific
railroad out of claim at Vancouver,
and then came battle for her re-
moval, which terminated yesterday
afternoon when Governor Benson
granted the eXtradition prayed for
by the Washington authorities.

not only unlawful, but contrary to
the public good, and they must be

Decisions Too Sweeping.
Therefore the president recon-
mends the enactment of a law for
the formation of corporations en-
gagged in interstate trade under q
federal license, protecting them
from undue interference by states,
and providing for the issue of stock
only for the paid in value in cash
or property whose value has been
ascertained by the federal authori-
ties.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES.

Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common
Aches and Ills of Lancaster People.
As one weak link weakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come. and there is an
ever increasing tendency towards
diabetes and fatal Bright's disease.
There is no real help for the suffer
except kidney help.

the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Lancaster cures are the proof.
