N. D. GUARD MAY
CAMP AT The FAIR
INVITATION HAS BEEN GIVEN
AND ADJuTANT GENERAL HAS
SlGNIFIED HIS WILLINGNESS
lis NOW UP TO THE UNITED
STATES WAR DEPARTMENT.

Adjt. Gen. A. p. Peake has express
ed himself favorable to having the
North Dakota national guard encamp
at the state fair grounds in Fargo dur
ing the state fair, which win be held
in this city on July 25 to 80 inclusive.
While the matter will have to be
taken up with the war department.
there seems to be every likelihood that
the regiment will mobilize here dur
ing the fair very likely on the last day,
1t will be en- route to Sparta, Wis, to
attend the joint maneuvers of the reg
ular army and other national
guard organizations.
General Peake, who has been visit
ing in California, returned to Bis
marck yesterday and found the in
vitation of the fair association asking
the national guard of the state to be
present at the exposition in July.
General Peake stated that he was
much in favor of the guard camping at
the fair and that the matter would be
taken up with the war department i'm
mediately. Some time ago the gov
ernor stated that he thought that it
would be a good thing for the regiment
to mobilize in Fargo and that the mat
ter would be taken up with his mill
tary advisers as soon as General
Peake returned.
The various company commanders
all seem in favor of coming to the
fair and all through the national
guard of the state this sentiment APP
pears to be prevalent. The matter
seems to now rest entirely with the
war department and there does not
seem to be any likelihood that it
will do other than approve.

PROSPECTS fine,
SAYS PRES. WORST
HEAD OF A. c. AFTER SEVERAL
TOURS OF STATE GIVES AN EN-.
CoURAGING ACCOUNT OF CROP
coN0ITIoNs-RETTER FARMING
METHODS DISCUSSED.

"The prospects for good wheat cror
are excellent, taking into consideration
the time of year, and some fine stands
OF winter rye are in evidence, though
many fields of the latter are short, thin
and unpromising. Glover generally has
stood the winter we'll and is makina
splendid growth in many localities. -
said President Worst on his return
from several tours of the state.
Farmers quite generally are dis
cussing better farming methods. espe.
clally in relation to rotation Of crops
pure seed grain and freeing the land
of foul weeds. More thorough cultfya-
ton also is receiving it's full share OF
attention.
The Better Farming Methods train
that is now touring the territory tribu
tary to the Northern Pacific should
help some. The agricultural college
and farmers institute have on exhibit
ton many things that will interest
progressive farmers and will have
many things to tell them that, if heed
ed, will prove helpful.
One thing certain, our average of
grain is too low, considering the char
acter of the soil and abundance of
moisture that has fallen during the
past several years. We may as well
raise the slogan, Twenty bushels per
acre and all work together to make
the slogan a fact. 1t can and should
be done. The Northern Pacific rail-
road and the two institutions above
referred to are on that mission right
now. Let all farmers join in and adopt
the methods that are being recon-
mended from this train.
by diversified farming the usual
of wheat should be grown mon
a little more than half the land now
SEEDED to that cereal, and the less than
halt remaining can be made to produce
an equally profitable crop of grass,
max, clover or corn thus not endanger-
ing the price of wheat This method
OF farming will doubly insure the
farmer against failure and in addition
perpetuate the fertility of the soil.
The best argument in the world to
bring settlers into the state is good
crops and the demonstrated fact that
diversified farming is more profitable
than exclusive wheat production. More
cattle, hogs, horses and sheep should
be raised to consume the corn grain
fodder and grass and to provide abund-
ance of fertility for the land. When
we get to farming in this way, our
state will be doubly tempting to east
ern farmers and doubly profitable for
our own.
Let us raise our average of wheat
10 twenty bushels per acre. OF course
It will require better seed, better Gull
-lvation, cleaner ground and some
occasionally, as well as clover.
But then it will increase the farmers
income from wheat alone not less than
SSO,OO0.O0O annually provided as much
and is devoted to wheat as now. The
extra labor and expense necessary to
insure this tremendous increase of
money would be trifling in COMPARE
son."

A FAREWELL ADDRESS
Verbs and Life Subject of Pithy Talk
by Rev. Herbert TiIden to
Fargo College.

Saturday morning in chapel the
Fargo college students listened to Rev
Tilden deliver his farewell address.
Probably never before have the stu
dents listened to a more pithy, witty.
and straight to the point talk. Verbs
and Life was his subject. Verbs are
regular and irregular" said the speak
er, land so are people. They are
transittve and intransitive, as are
men. Some men have no object; thew
are merely acted upon, by sentiment.
Verbs have moods. Many people are
in the subjective mood, ruled by the
mighty if although some are in the
potential mood" In this way the
speaker went on showing that both
people and verbs have active and pas
siVe voice, singular and plural number.
and agreement. AS to agreement, 4"
said the speaker, you must agree
with your conscience. If you can
praise your life in the desirable terms
of verb you will have won victory,
Surrender your lives to great truths,
for you are receiving benefits re-
ceiVed by no other generation. The
hard things in life are the best and
most important After a number of
such pertinent statements, Reverend
Tilden said farewell to the students,
wishing them a bright and happy flu
ture.
Following the address President
Creegan told of Mr.. Tilden's faithful
work as a Fargo college trustee, to-
gether with his parishoner L. B. Han
ma. Reverend Tilden's council has
always been valuable" said the presi-
dent, land his presence will be very
much missed. If after his tour of the
world, Mr.. Tilden should ever happen
to journey this way again, he will be
always welcome at Fargo college,"

THOSE RESOLUTIONS
Calling Special Bond Election Will Be
Read at Council Meeting This
Evening.

The city council meets in regular
session this evening. Besides the reg
ular business matters of importance
will be brought up for consideration.
The resolution calling for special
election to vote on the water and
light bonds will be read. These reso-
lutions were introduced at the last
meeting and referred to a committee
for consideration.
The salary ordinance passed on it's
first reading at the last meeting will
be placed on final reading this even
ing. In the original draft the salary
of the captain of police, now $50 a,
month, was not mentioned. 1t proved
to be an oversight 1t is expected that
this salary will be boosted to $1,000
probably.

Developing Fruit Industry.

Jefferson is already the center OF
a great prune industry, and many
carloads of dried prunes are shipped
from here, and green shipments will
begin this year on a large scale, rs
the Salem Fruit Union will probably
pack fruit here for fresh shipments.
Jefferson is the center of a region
that is peculiarly adapted to peach
culture. There is a large area of
river bottoms that will produce the
finest peaches. There is sandy and
gravelly land on the bottoms and
benches that has air drainage and is
near water and will produce the
most delicious peaches and apricots.
Wherever peach orchards have been
set out they have produced remark
able crops, and there are profits OF
from 500 to $1,000 an acre in
peaches. The peach acreage around
Jefferson amounts to thousands of
acres, and lands can still be bought
at prices from fifty to one hundred
dollars, that as fast as they can be
cleared and put into fruit will be
worth from $500 to $500 per acre.
All kinds of fruit lands about JEFF
ferson as soon as planted are worth
from 500 to 5000 per acre. Here
are a few statements about peaches.
Thos. A. Cooper has a peach tree
that bears every year since twenty
years, from two to five bushels a |
year.
John Goetz has peach orchard Of
four acres that came into bearing

Of peaches that for a number of
