ARE IN ARMS OVER GOVERNMENTS
CANCELLATION OF RIGHTS
TO SOME

Buford, N. D., Sept. 6.-Im-
portant action will very likely be
taken by the water users under
the ord-Trenton project at a
meeting which has been called for
Sept. 10 as result of the govern
ment's action in cancelling certain
water rights. Quite number of
land owners have received notices
>of such cancellation and a memo
rial to congress for relief will very
likely be drawn at the meeting to
be held here.

THREE PETITIONS
T0sCUr BILLINGS
ONE PROPOSITION WOULD NAME PRO-
POSED new COUNTY ROOSEVELT
one Be KNOWN AS BUTTE

Medora, N. D., Sept. Three
petitions have been presented to
the county commissioners for the
division of Billings county. One
asks that the four northern tiers of
townships be segregated to be
known as Roosevelt county, an
other that the four. southern tiers
be segregated to be known as Butte
county; while the third asks that a
part of the three western tiers be
segregated to be known as Golden
county. This last petition asks
for twelve congregational town
ships which are included in the
Roosevelt petition and two which
are included in the Butte petition.
The Roosevelt petition was gotten
up quietly and was sprung as a
surprise. All these petitions con-
fict as to territory is doubtful if
any will carry at the election as it
requires majority vote of the
county to form new counties. It
appears that the voters of Golden
will have to vote against the two
other petitions for self preserva-
ton. ..E -

Waterloo, Ia., Sept 6.-Rev. II.
Fl. Forkenbrook, pastor of St.
Mary's Catholic church, has Gre
ated a sensation here because of
his opposition to Rev. Billy"
Sundays revival, which IS to open
Nov. /. Father Forkenbrook
spoke for twenty minutes to his
people, advising them TO stay
away from the meetings because
of the sensational language and
methods employed. He said the
evangelist's language was at times
vile" and not fit for children or
even grown up people to hear.
I do not forbid you from go
ing to hear Rev. Mr.. Sunday" /"
said the young priest, but |
would advise You to remain away.

tic campaigns and the theatres or
other places of amusement, [

who are his most enthusiastic ad-
mirers.

Winter Wheat on the North Dakota Demonstration Farms

A year ago turkey red winter
wheat was sown on seven Of the
demonstration farms located a,
Flaxton, Rugby, Page, Washburn,
New Salem, Bismarck and Beach.
On all of these farms except at
New Salem the winter wheat was
sown broadcast in growing corn
and was afterwards cultivated in.
On all the farms except Washburn
the wheat was seeded in stubble
after the small grain crop was re-
moved. On several of the farms
the winter wheat was also seeded
on summer fallow.
At Flaxton the wheat was seed
ed in the three ways, namely in
corn. in stubble and on summer
fallow. Last fall this point was
without rain and at the time Of
seeding the soil was very dry,
consequently the winter wheat did
not germinate last fall in either
the corn or stubble land. On the
summer fallow it terminated fair
ly well, but winter killed. The
winter wheat at this point was
failure in the corn and summer
faliow owing to the extreme
drought last fall.
At Rugby the wheat was seeded
in the same manner and at the
same time as at Flaxton. A light
shower caused about half of the
wheat to germinate in the corn
and in the stubble. This made a
good growth during the fall. On
the summer fallow the winter
wheat made an excellent growth
last fall. 1t went into the winter
in good condition. In the spring
it was found to be all dead, very
probably due to the very unsea-
sonab!e weather. About half of

MAIL CLERKS ASK
FOR STEEL CARS
POSTAL SERVICE MEN In CONVENTION
HELD IN SEATTLE ADOPT RESOLU.
TON ASKING FOR STEEL CARS

A resolution requesting that the
superintendent of railway mail SER
vice and other high postal officials
use their influence in bringing be-
fore the next session of congress a
bill requiring railroads to supply
steel mail cars, was the principal
order of business at the opening
session of the annual meeting of
the chief clerks of the Thirteenth
Division Railway Mail Clerks held
in the federal building in Seattle
yesterday.
The majority of the cars used at
present are old and of flimsy con-
struction; seldom is there railroad
accident that railway mail clerk
does not lose his life or receive in
juries; the cars are placed in the
most dangerous section of the train
and considering these points the
clerks believe they ought to have
as much protection as possible.
The men present at today's ses-
sion were George N. Fuller, Hell
ena, Mont; Homer A. Elwell,
Spokane; w. F. Bangasser, Ogden;
A. S. Rand, Portland; Alvah Eam-
es, Valdez; William @. OFT, Seat
tie, and assistant superintendent
Robert H. Barclay, Spokane; F.
E. Whiting, Portland, and R. A.
Whiting, Seattle. Some of the
clerks stationed in Alaska we're
unable to be present.

what wheat germinated in the
corn winter killed so that what re-
NAMED would not make profta-
BILE crop, consequently it was
disced and seeded to spring
wheat. Many of these plants sur
vived this treatment and produced
large heads filled with large ker-
nels of very plump wheat. The
winter wheat on the stubble came
through the winter in excellent
condition and made a fine growth
in the early part of the season,
but the excessive drought and
heat of the summer made it very
short and the heads failed to fill.
This land produced heavy crop
last year, consequently there was
no moisture in the. soil for the
winter weat crop this year.
At Page the winter wheat was
seeded in the three ways previous
y mentioned. On both the corn
ground and summer fallow the
wheat made an excellent growth
in the fall and went into winter in
good condition. An early snow
fall covered it up early in the sea-
son and did not go off until
March. The wheat seemed alive
but rather weak and the very adj
verse spring weather finished it.
A few plants grew on the corn
land and produced large heads of
we'll filled wheat. These plants
will be tried out in the plant nur-
sury at the experiment station at
Fargo to see if they do not pos
BOSS superior hardness. Only a
small part of the wheat on the
stubble land gerlninated owing to
the drought last fall. This wheat

Poultry Note.

Having determined to select the
earliest maturing pullets for the
propagation stock, the matter of
keeping a record of the first pull
lets that lay is problem that
puzzles many people. The poultry
man will simply have to use his
judgment in these matters. The
thriiftiest, most rapidly developing
healthiest birds can be spotted as
the best layers. Put leg band on
to mark them. The trap nest which
is used by some folks is fit only
for the poultryman who has a wife
who will do all the work. Recently
we visited a trap nest poultryman
and found that his wife went
through the laying house every
fifteen minutes during three months
of the year to liberate the hens from
the trap nests and let others on.
Trap nests are all right for expert
ment stations, but for the practical
poultryman of sound judgment with
a large flock, there is no time to
fool with them.

Denver Markets.

Denver Union Stock Yards. Dec.
19.-There was a fair run OF cat
tie on the local market last week
and under strong demand, a good
clearance was made daily. Eastern
markets reported lower prices early
in the week and there was some
weakness here. Good beef steers
closed weak to dime lower than
a week ago, while good fat cows
and heifers closed fully steady.
Other grades were 10 to 20 cents
lower. This decline is small, how
ever, compared with Eastern declines
which fact is significant when 1t is
remembered that prices went of a
week ago at the Eastern markets
while they held steady here. Good

up to $500. Cows sold at $3.S5 to

tUres Of the Western Land Products

tatoes than most any other man in
the world and for this reason he
was commissioned by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and has just
finished a potato campaign in conti-
mental Europe, where he has intro
duced the American grown potato
in such a way that there will be a
strong foreign market for the pro-
duct within a short time.
To get potato growing down to
science, as the best agriculturists
have corn and wheat gorwing. is no
small task, but this is the task
Mir. Grubb has mastered. He will
show at Omaha. the kinds of pota-
toes to plant in various soils and
the effect of these soils upon the
vegetable; the cost of producing. the
profit possible per acre both on ir-
rigated and non-irfigated lands and
finally the marketable potato-the
potato whcih will stand shipping to
Europe and will be a profitable ex-
port crop.
AS potatoes is one of the big
crops of Colorado Mr.. Grubb will
make this demonstration in connec-
ton with the Colorado exhibit. but
1t is a feature which any farmer 60
ing into the new West or entering
the potato business in his present
home. should see. He will know as
much about potatoes when he hears
Grubb as he does about corn since
listening to Holden.
