LONE TOBACCO PLANT FLOUR
ISLES.
Rice. Va. Oct. 18th. 1910.

Rice. Va, Oct. 9Th, 1910.
Dear Editor:-I want to say a
few words about a plant of tobac-
co which grows three feet from my
door. Early in the spring l got
out my tobacco seed and some vast
ed on the floor and was swept out
the door and came up from the seed
among the rocks and grass. let
one plant stand that grew out from
under a rock to see what it would
be. l have not worked it and grass
grows around it and the rock. /
have only topped, primed and sue
cored it, and topped it at fourteen
leaves. It now stands two feet,
seven inches, measures six feet
across the top leaves from tip to
tip. the longest leaf three feet, and
fourteen and one-half inches wide
The plant is still green and grow
ing. l would bring it to the Fair,
but it being only one plant, guess
it is no good.

TAKES own LIFE
BECOMES MENTALLY DERANeED
THROUGH WORRY AND
MAKES TWO ATTEMPTS
AT SUICIDE.

jamestown, N. ID, Oct 17.-William
A. Jordan, who has been farmer in
the vicinity of Jamestown for a num-
Der of years, and was we'll known
throughout this part of Stutsman
county, took his own life by seyering
an artery in his throat yesterday
afternoon. He had become mentally
deranged through worry and tried to
END his life before during the same
day with a revolver but the bullet Just
missed his forehead.
Mr.. Jordan was So years old and
is survived by wife and five chill
dren. One of his sons, who is married.
has been living with him for the
last few years and together they oper-
ated what is generally known as the
Beach farm. He was known as a man
of more than usual ability and held
in high esteem. Sympathy of every
one is extended to his family.
DIR. Guest, as coroner, viewed the
remains and deemed an inquest un
necessary. The body will be taken to
Chicago early tomorrow morning for
burial.

MORTON COUNTY TO
VOTE ON DIVISION

Mandan, N. D., Oct. IL. Instead
Of the county division matter being
settled as was thought by the county
commissioners when they adjourned
from their regular October meeting,
there is a possibility what the voters
will be called upon to vote on three
propositions instead of the one that
the commissioners decided would
have a right to 60 on the ballot at
their last session

the one that was passed favorably
on and which will go on the ballots.
The petition for Grant county was
thrown out on technicalities. Since,
however, the people who are looking
for the establishing of Grant county
have remedied the defect in their
petition and it has again been pre-
sented to the county auditor for the
purpose Of bringing 1t before the
board.
Along with this petition is a third
petition asking for the establishment
of Brown county. This is the petition

DEEP FILLING
MACHINE SUCCESS
WILL DIG A FuRRoW BETWEEN
TWELVE AND TWENTY
INCHES DEEP.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 17.-F'or sew
eral days past deep filling machine
has been working IN the lower part
OF oscar wins nursery. This ma
chine is a double disc pillow, one disc
set to cut lower than the other and
acting as a subsoiler except the sub
soil is thrown out on top Of the plowed
land instead Of the furrow. The discs
are regulated as to width Of furrow
and depth by levers. The machine
about 1000 pounds and is run on three
wheels similar to other sulky ploWs,
but differently set.
When seen at work the team draw
ing it consisted of four light horses
and was turning a furrow ranging
from about fourteen to eighteen in
ches deep, as rule but in some
cases even as deep as twenty inches
This variation comes from the fact
that there is being an effort to cut
the roots that were in the ground
when broken last spring
The land was covered with ordin-
my buck brush and small willows
and the ordinary sand and gumbo con-
ditions Of the river bottom in this To-
cality. Last spring this land was
plowed with this tilling machine and
sown in radishes and other similar
crops which have been taken off the
land is now being plowed as des-
cribed.
Everything on the land is being
turned over and one time going over
the surface with q harrow is all that
is needed to put it in excellent condi-
ton for any kind Of crop desired.

FISHERMAN ARE
TOSSED into Sand

Jamestown. N. D., Oct. 17.-What,
under a little different circumstances,
might have resulted in an extremely
serious accident, but now is making
the victims the brunt of great deal
Of chatting by their friends, occurred
when Agent T. A. Boyden and George
Mackenzie were hurled several feet
onto bed of sand by their auto be-
ing ditched.
Mr.. Boyden and Mr.. Mackenzie, in
the latters machine, started for
fishing trip with two other auto loads
When about five miles south of the
city the machine struck bed of sand
while going at a rapid rate and
swirved suddenly into the ditch. Mr..
Boyden flew through the air for
distance of twenty -four feet and came
to a sudden stop in the loose sand.
He alighted on his shoulder and now
has considerable difficulty in manipu-
lating his arms and says his neck is
rather stiff.
Mr.. Mackenzie stopped after flying
few feet in front OF the machine
which stood erect on it's front end,
balanced by the crank shaft stuck in
the dirt. The engine was still running
and the exhaust came from the top
of the auto like smoke from a CHM
ney. There was danger of the ma
chine topping over onto it's owner and
he quickly scrambled into a safe posi-
ton and shut off the engine. The
rear axle was badly twisted and one
of the wheels was minus all it's spokes.
The stranded fishermen were picked
up by one of the other autos and had
a good time in spite of the mishap.
They caught nearly fifty perch be-
sides number Of large pickerel.

pecially important that the present
plowed that can be turned over. There
are several reasons why such effort
should be made. First, the season has
been of such character that food is
unusual scarcity at this season makes
1t certain that 1t will be much more
of wisdom, therefore, to so arrange
work that the necessity for team
work In the spring shall be reduced to
minimum. Second, when food is
scarce and high priced in the winter
and spring following, there is strong
temptation to feed 1t to work animals
in quantities too stinted to enable
them properly to do their best work.
Third, the rains that have fallen in
most places have so softened the land
that it may be plowed without anv lif-
fculty. In autumns that are very dry
this cannot be done SO well as when
the ground has been softened bv rain
That objection does not apply now
Fourth, the rains that have softened
the ground have increased the autumn
FOOD supply. This will only act favor
ably on blowing In so far as It pro-
vides food for other farm stock thus
making 1t possible to feed more freely
the animals that do the work
Every reasonable effort, therefore
should be made to turn over every foo+
OF land this fall that Is likely To nrof,t
from such treatment UsuaIlv ar
ground does not freeze to bind tha coil
50 tnat IT cannot be plowed. During
inc interval therefore, not an hour
should be lost that may be turned To
good account in doing this work. Closa
attention to 1t now may mean much to
the farmer next season. The fac+
should not be lost sight of that food
viii be very scarce next season: mucb
more SO than in recent years M
farmer should rely upon being able to
get supply in the spring in case he
wants to purchase, as everyone will he
on short supplies.
