Another Small Fire.

Monday afternoon the fire alarm
called out the citizens to fight a fire
which was burning up the storage and
COW shed on the rear of OLAF Strands
residence lot. The response was re.
markably sudden, and in less than
four minutes from the time of the
first tap of the bell water was being
thrown on the fire. The contents of
the shed were entirely consumed, con-
sisting of some potatoes, COW feed, all
OF the storm windows for Mr.. Strands
house, and some miscellaneous stuff
stored away. Things looked serious
for the st. Anthony lumber yards for
a few moments, but the danger was
soon oyer, and the fire put out with
out burning the building down. The
fire was started by one of Mr.. Strands
children, and cousin, a son of Peter
Ellison, who were playing in the shed
with matches.

Communication.
To the Hope Pioneer, Hope. N. D

To the Hope Pioneer, Hope. N. D.
Gentlemen: In view of the unsatis-
factory outcome of the football game
at Tower City Saturday and in justice
to our own school team, wish to
make clear the reasons which, in my
mind, fully justified the High School
team in refusing to continue the game.
On the very first play following the
kickoff, it became evident that our
team was opposed not only by team,
disposed to use rough tactics, but al
SO by we'll meaning Il think) but
lamentably weak and incompetent off,
cial. By few snappy plays, Hope
carried the ball to their opponents s.
yard line only to have the ball taken
from them by the referee on thea play
following End down. Anyone who has
even slight knowledge of the game
knows that the team carrying the ball
is given three plays in which to make
the necessary 10 yards. Atthis point,
Hope had an excellent opportunity to
score This unfair ruling might have
passed as mistake, had it not re-
curred so frequently-and generally at
the suggestion of some member of the
opposing team. Although the ball
was carried out of bounds by Hope
several times during the game, it was
generally brought in a YARD and CIV
on to Tower City irregardless of the
number of the down. Tripping and
slugging on the part of Tower City
were OF frequent occurrence and, when
ever q Hope runner approached the
side lines, he was given additional
treatment of like character by the
crowd. Further, continuation of the
game gave promise of wholesale slug
ging inasmuch as the referee had re-
fused to remove player at my direc-
tion whom I had seen slugging: there
fore asked the team to leave the field.
Considering the unsportsmanlike
conduct OF the Tower City team and
the unfair attitude of the crowd and
referee, am sure that nothing but
praise is deserved by our team for
their sportsmanlike conduct and gen.
eral attitude under such trying cir
cumstan es.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
Supt. Murphy was out of town. Had
he been at the game, am sure that
his sense OF fairness would not have
permitted such rowdyism and discour-
tesy.
In my nine years of experience as a
player, official and coach, / have yet
to experience the parallel of Satur-
days event.

Handling Immature Flax
Crop.

This department is receiving large
number of inquisies about immature
flax crops and what to do with them.
Often the crop has failed to proper
ly mature. This came about, this
year, largely because of the dry seed
bed in which the seed was placed, the
ground being SO dry that the seed did
not germinate until the rains came
late in July. A further popularity of
flax is that it ripens slowly after the
cool weather of autumn sets in. Each
farmer will have to decide for himself
whether there is sufficient mature seed
to pay for the harvesting and thresh-
ing operations. The high price of the
seed for oil purposes makes it possi-
BILE, OF course, to profitably save a
much smaller yield than one might do
in ordinary years.
The more immature the straw, the
better the feed value of the threshed
product; for there will be much i'm
mature seed blown into the chaff and
straw. 1t is also probable that the
immature flax straw contains more
nourishment than mature straw
Many farmers who have cattle and
hogs, as soon as they fine the fax will
not mature sufficient seed, turn the
field into pasture lot, with apparent
success. Stock apparently relish the
forage as it stands in the field. Others
have mown and cured the crop for hay
and report that it is thoroughly liked
by their cattle. We have some good
reports along these lines for previous
years. Scarcity OF hay makes this a
proposition worthy of consideration.
I am informed from good authority
and by my own observation, that the
crop often may be cut after freezing
sets in, and used for rough feed.
If large, amount of fax seed is
present in the straw, it may be we'll to
feed with some caution, though fax
seed is one of the best of stock foods.
In case there is not sufficient crop to
pay for moving, it will pay to pasture
it off as rapidly as possible before it
is plowed under, because of the bene-
fits to the soil due to removing the
straw.
If such crop of fax is plowed un-
der, the ground should not be sowed
to fax in three or four years follow
ing, as the large amount of fax straw
is liable to contain sufficient disease
to have a bad effect on the following
fax crops. This land could be profit
ably used for corn cultivation or for
potato cultivation. The cultivation
would tend to purify the land. If the
area is too large to be used for such
cultivated crops, the ground should
be worked over very thoroughly, firm.
ly compacted. and seeded to oats,
wheat, barley or millet. For the first
year would recommend corn or oats,
the next year wheat or barley, the next
year followed by corn or summer fall
low, then wheat and grass, pasture,
ETC., followed by flax.
We would be pleased to hear reports
from any farmer who has had expert
ence in pasturing green Hax or in us.
