CROP ROTATION.

| If there were ever any doubts as tc
the beneficial effects of crop rotation
they should have been removed by the
conditions this year. There was never
before a season in North Dakota where
such object lessons could be presented
In drive over the country before
harvest any person at all familiar with
conditions in this state could point
OUT along the route, the good farmers
and the makeshifts Fields could be
singled out without difficulty so close
ly that the observer could tell whether
it had been in summer falIow, corn,
potatoes or millet last year.
Just why North Dakota farmers hes
itate to rotate crops is inexplicable-
unless it Is due to the fact SO many
have gotten into a rut and can't be
shaken out without difficulty.
This year wheat seeded on corn, po-
tato or millet land averaged double
the yield that was harvested from the
land which had been cropped year
after year In wheat--without rotation.
If a man can raise just as much
from half his farm by proper methods
why farm it all to wheat? BY seed
ing half his land he can save half the
seed wheat He gets the same num-
Der Of bushels in the total. His thresh
ing bill is just the same, but his hired
labor bill is much less. 1t makes less
strenuosity during seeding, harvest
and threshing. 1t gives ample time to
summer fallow the rest of the land,
10 grow potatoes, corn, millet and
other crops on it.
By growing such crops the fertility
Is enhanced, the value of the farm in
creased--and the crops raised while
doing this will be net profit. This
method will also furnish plenty of the
right kind of feed for live stock and
enable farmers to increase their reve-
nue. and insure permanent incomes.
North Dakota farmers have the
grandest opportunities of any soil tick
lers on earth--if they will but grasp
them. Some are doing so-why not
you?

and rake their acquaintance, and get
their welcome. If you are worthy,
invariably newspaper men will help
YOU by talking about you in their coll

many other things that will be of
personal benefit to you. No man Is
lnfallible and many times you make
a misstep which the editor overlooks

every editor is human, and resents
indignity, ard if you pile such against
hih door, generally the worm will

to fall below par. A newspaper talks

Travellers Tales

1t is related that one day a very vol
uble lady took her daughter, who was
all in to see a local doctor.
(which of you two wants to con-
suit me?" said the physician.
MY daughter" replied the elder
woman.
The doctor then put a question to
the girl. Before she had chance to
reply her mother began long story.
He told her to be quiet and repeated
his question to the girl. A second
time the woman began a story and a
second time he told her to be quiet.
Then she interrupted him a third time
Put your tongue out" he said to
the mother
=But there's nothing the matter with
me" she exclaimed.
Never mind, put your tongue out"
he commanded.
Thoroughly overrawed, the woman
obeyed.
Now. keen 1t out" said the doctor.
And ne proceeded to examine the girl.

Trains Going West.
COMPEL TREE PLANTING.

H. F. Forket, a friend of The Fo-
rum, who resides at Verona, La
Moure county, wants the people of
North Dakota to plant trees. He cites
the fact that the lumber supply of
the United States is in grave danger
of becoming exhausted and that it
is imperative that something more
than mere conservation of the existing
supply is required.
Mr.. Forket has studied the German
plan and believes that with some mod
ihcations it could be adopted in this
country.
His idea is to compel the owner of
every quarter of a section of land in
North Dakota to plant five acres of
some kind of forest trees. These
trees could be set out around the
buildings and used for shelter, or
some where else on the farm wherever
the owner preferred.
no compel their planting Mr.. For
ket would impose a special tax of $40
per acre on every quarter of a section
of land upon which there were not five
acres of trees. At the end of five
years if the owner had not planted
any--the county or state should use
the accumulated funds and plant trees
on the barren land.
But to all those who could show to
the satisfaction OF the officials that five
acres Of trees had been planted--he
would refund the special tax at the
end of the five years. In this manner
Mr.. Forket believes the wood and Ium-
Der supply Of the country would event
ually become restored and North Da-
kota would take its place as a timber
state.
There are a good many things in
favor Of Mr.. Forkets idea, There is
no doubt but that the lumber supply
is dangerously near exhaustion. Some
action will be necessary Or the next
generation will be lumberless. BY
matter to grow some trees that would
supply timber and lumber within a
generation.
Everyone knows how trees will
thrive in North Dakota with reason
able care. Most people are familiar
with trees that have been set out a
quarter of century ago. In Fargo
there are trees that are an inch in
diameter for every year since they
were set out.
The people of North Dakota are
burdened now with a great many laws
Many of them are useless The Fo
rum doesn't believe in adding toe
many additional enactments---but the
suggestion by MIR. Forket is worthy OF
consideration. There are a great many
measures that lack the practical use
fulness that his idea involves.
The cost and the care of five acres
of trees is by no means prohibitive
The improved appearance of homes
surrounded by trees should of itself
be a sufficient compensation. The pro-
lection afforded to the homes and do
mestic animals on farms where the
buildings are surrounded by trees is
of great value. They help by their
welcome shade In the summer time
and their additional warmth in the win
ter. UItimately-if proper trees are
planted the timber viii have COM
mercial value both for fuel and timber
