Circular from Prof. IL. l.. Bolley. Botanist
North Dakota Agricultural Collere)

Circular from Prof II. l.. Bolley. Botanist
North Dakota Agricultural Collece)
The department of botany of this
experiment station aims to aid the
farmer in proper methods of flas
cropping. in order that he may bt
better able to cope with the Difficult
ties which have beset the flax crop
through years of careless and in
different cropping. We do this with
the hope that the flax crop may not
be totally eliminated as an agricul.
tural asset.
The experiments made by the
North Dakota experiment station
through many years have proved
that the old theory that the tlaS
crop is particularly detrimental to
the chemical fertility of the soil is
not true.
The flax plant and the soil in
which it has grown harbor several
different misunderstanding fungus
diseases. which, through proper
seed-selection. seed-bed formation
and seed-treatment, can be eliminat-
ed to great degree. If such meth.
DDS are consistently followed from
year to year, great improvement in
yield may be expected.
In order to aid in our work Of
getting information to the farmers
we ask you to send us a list of such
farmers as you think would be in
terested in this matter. 1t is neces-
sary that we have list from your
section, as we do not wish to miss
any region where we can possibly
be of some aid. Now is the time
to help.
If you have stored any seed for
sale to farmers. send US half-pound
sample and we will test it as noted
in Circular q. Would you like to
have our regular bulletins on flax
culture? If so. send your personal
address to H. l.. Bolley. Botanist.

value of the package sent or

value of the package sent or re-
ceived. A state legislature, how
ever, has very little power to cure
the evils regarding which complaint
is made. The express matter that
passes between North Dakota sta
tions is but "a drop in the bucket
of the total volume Of the business.
And the United States congress is
the only legislative body that can
deal with interstate commerce.
The press dispatches say that the
question of excessive express rates is
causing strong protests from all
parts Of the Union, and that regula-
tion by the Interstate Commerce
Commission will soon come about.
OF course. if the parcels-post bill
should be enacted into law by corr
gress. packages to a maximum
weight of eleven pounds could be
sent cheaply by mail. That would
grip the express companies where
the hair is short, and it would do
likewise to the business of country
towns. Really. there is no excuse
whatever for the holding up of
shippers by requiring them to ship
by express goods wanted in a hurry.
Railway companies should be COM
PEELED to maintain service of their
own for carrying hurry-up goods,
and not farm out the privilege to
middlemen organized as express
companies. But no state legislature
be it Insurgent, Stalwart or Dem
ocratic-can reach the root of the
evil.

4 Tip For tho ANGLER


There had been an inccssant
downpour Of rain from the early
hours OF the morning, and still the
angler sat on the bank of the river.
Doubtless he was fishing for his tea,
but success did not attend his cf-
forts, and his only consolation was
a small eel about the size of worm.
Suddenly a drenched urchin made
his appearance. Caught much
asked the boy.
Cant You see,' impatiently re-
piled the angler.
"Yer'll catch nothing there, mis-
ter" No reply. After a Slight pause,
Il know where you can catch some.
though
.Where?' eagerly inquired tho
ardent angler.
"Under the bridge" replied the
boy.
'sHow do you know ?"
"'Cause they allus go there tS
keep out of the rain"
The angler got up to stretch him
self, and the youth made hasty re-
treat.-London Ideas.

later verifying the first prophecy
we began to sit up and take notice.
The next morning the prophet died
of an apoplectic stroke.

A city gentleman was recently in

powers in matters Of finance, his
shooting was not remarkable for it's

man in attendance, whose tip was
generally regulated by the size of
the bag.

sportsman, 'sbut the birds seem ex-

DO you realize that within two

proposition look easy. Hazelton

The Record agrees with the above

telephone regulation. that is a sub

i ached with extreme caution or It
WOULD prove serious hardship to
u e large number of rural lines that
are being established or extended in
North Dakota. Laws cannot be
made that recognize different con-
LIONS as between rural and other
t. ephone lines, for the constitution
o the state inhibits special legisa-
ton. AT almost every session of
tie general assembly in late years
telephone legislation has been talked
O. but none of the methods sug-
sted has been satisfactory to those
members representing districts
whose inhabitants are largely inter.
ested in rural lines. And, really,
does the Republican editor believe
: at telephone rates in this state
arc what may be termed excessive?
