Experimental with Alfalfa.

Lansford ourna al: Theo.
Helming, one of Our prosperous
farmers living southeast of
town, is of an experimental
mind, and his speciality has
been alfalfa. He has been sue
cessful in raising some good
alfalfa, at least to such an ex-
tent that. he is certain that it
can be raised with a profit in
this part of North Dakota.
Last spring, hearing that it
might be possible to obtain
some of the Siberian plants
that had been propagated at
the South Dakota experiment
station, he forthwith got busy
and secured the plants. He
planted them in rows keeping
the different breeds separate,
and succeeded in securing
ounces of seed for next years
experiments, and still has some
of the original plants left.
He received $50 plants, sc
each of the Obi, Cossack and
and Desert, and the results
were as follows:
The Obi did not grow very
tall, half of the plants actine g
as creepers and the rest shoot
ing up into the air. Out of
the 100 plants Is had healthy
growth. and he secured three
ounces of seed from them.
Tie Cossack did splendidly,
and with favorable season he
believes that this breed of al
falfa will be the coming alfalfa
for this part of North Dakota.
Out of 30 plants 8 of them
matured and he gathered 5
ounces of seed this fall.
The Desert did not do as
we'll as the others, only 2 of
the 30 plants maturing, but he
gathered ounce of seed from
these 2 and will continue his
experiments in the spring with
this one ounce, ond hopes to
make a better showing next
fall.
His experiments will be
watched with interest by all
the farmers who feel that al
falfa should be grown in this
climate.

It Is thought that she will be entirely recovered within the next few days and will be able to attend the session of the circuit court which con- venes here early next month with a grand jury.
 All danger of lynching the Lang broth CTS has passed and~it is now certain that they will be given a fair trial by a jury of their fellow countrymen to pass on their guilt or innocence of the crime Had Rosie McCuistion died from the ef- fleets of the bodily injuries and the mem tai shock which she is said 10 have re- ceived, there is but little doubt but what the Lang brothers would have been lynched by the infuriated friends Of the unfortunate girl
 CTS will employ counsel anJ that they will fight the charge against them to the bitter end. Clint Lang still declares that he is innocent of the charge while his brother Delza does not admit that he is guilty. The majority of the citizens around Valhermoosa Springs seem to believe the girls story and are of the opinion that the Lanss are guilty of criminal assault as charged in the war rant against them

Will Resume Digging of Well.

Huntsville, January 24.-(SpeciaI. .)-After fishing more than two months in his well. which is 1150 feet deep, Paul Ma honey, driller for the New York-Als- bama oil company, has caught the string of tools that were lost in the well and will be enabled to resume drilling opera tions. Losing the tools in the well was one of the most expensive mishaps that the oil company has ever experienced The fishing job requires the operation of all machinery and the same force of men as if drilling work had been going right along. The well will be sunk to a depth of 25O0 or 5000 feet unless oil in paying quantity is found at lesser depth The government geologists who have ex- amined the sands from this well believe the oil will be found at 1S00 feet The flow of gas that was found at 860 feet is as strong as ever and when ignited makes a flame 20 feet high.
