new ENGLAND ,BIoYs ARRESTED III N
FOR ILLEGAL HUNTING

A bunch of New England young men
got what was coming to them this week.
They were flaerantly violating the
hunting law in August by going out
time after time and sh ooting chickens.
They seemed to have little regard for
the rights of farmers or anyone and
their open defiance of decency in this
respect was the talk of the whole coun-
try.
Henry Noren, living few miles from
New England. made the complaint which
resulted in the arrest of seven young
men. 1t was case of mistaken iden-
tity with two and they were released.
r. c. Blaine and Lee Lucy elected to
have hearing, secured the services of
a local attorney and went through the
mill. They were found guilty and
fined, costing them $1S.1 10 and $40. 20
respectively. Two other young men
had the good sense to plead guilty and
got off for about half this amount.
There is one other to come up to the bar
of justice and it is presumed that he
will do the right thing under the cir
cumstance and plead guilty. 1t is al
ways best to admit an error when one
has been committed.
The boys have no reason to find fault
with Justice John M. Connolly. He was
not looking for cases of this kind, but
when the duty was placed before him,
he performed it. The law is plain and
there is no alternative for justice when
the cases are brought before him.
John Van Bergen, deputy game war
den, was assisted in the prosecution by
States Attorney Geo. H. Stone.

This follows very closely the normal
distribution. Conditions were favorable
until the 10th of June when series of
hot winds commenced which lasted at
intervals until we'll into July. At times
these were very severe.
The favoring condition of any extra
moisture in the soil from the season Of
1909 was largely offset by the high;
temperature of 1910. A warm season
decreases the available rainfall by in
creasing the evaporation. Thus 80
inch rainfall in Texas may be no more
than Is inch rainfall with us.
YIELDS OF 1910
A study of the yields of Drain sent
for exhibition to the dry farming con-
eress at Spokane which meets next
month, will be worth while. Three
wheat, one barley and one alfalfa are
shown in the cut. The wheat to the left
is the well known Kubanka, one of the
best of the durum varieties. The wheat
shown grew on spring plowei wheat
stubble, packed once with a sub. surface
packer. The packing increased the yield
slightly. The five plots that the sample
came from yielded 2S.S bushels per
acre. One of the plots yielded 81
bushels.
The wheat next to the Kubanka is
the Girka wheat. This is a Russian
wheat; the heads resembling our fife
wheat in appearance but the berry is
somewhat softer. The best plots of this
yielded % bushels per acre. This
wheat was grown on corn stubble and
the corn had been manured. This Girka
wheat is very promising for dry years
and it makes an excellent flour.
The wheat to the right is the Turkey
Red winter wheat The plot that this
grew on suffered some winter killing
but in spite of that the yield was %
bushels per acre. The culture of winter
wheat will doubtless increase in the
future.
The barley shown is the Swan Neck, a
pedigreed proved barley. The best
yield of this was 40 bushels per acre,
grown on corn land. There seems to be
no doubt but that the proved barleys
are best suited to this section.
The alfalfa is full of seed pods but no
yield was obtained on this. Alfalfa
promises to be a good crop for seed pro-
duction for western North Dakota.
In conclusion it may be stated that
the season Of 1910 has Greatly increased
the confidence of the farming interests
in this section of the state. The results
Of 1910 really mark an epoch In the
agricultural interests of western North
Dakota.

to 8.9 inches. This is something over

OPERA CONTEST CLOSES JERSEY TITLE AT STAKE
metropolitan Management Says
September Is Is Last Day.
JURY NOT YET SELECTED
It Might Reopen Competition IN
Accordance with Mr.. Kahns
Prediction.

The Metropolitan Opera Company in at
official statement issued yesterday denied
the report recently published that the time
for the submission OF scores and Iibrettos
in ne company's grand opera contest had
been extended q year, so that the contest
would close on September 10, 1911. instead
Of September 10 Of this year.
The statement is as follows.
An erroneous impression seems to prevail
that the time IN which to submit scores in
the Metropolitao opera contest has been
extended by official action.
The Metropolitan Opera Company desires
to cal the attention of the public and Of
prospective competitors 10 the fact that
according 10 the rules Of the contest the
time in which to submit scores closes Of
nclal5E on the 18TH day Of September, 1910
The regulations. however, provide tha-
the time may be extended by the jury Tor
eighteen months. but the company, as Sucll,
has no power to extend the tlUs ana can
in no wise alter the terms Of the contest
a. originally laid down.
As tho action Of the jury. however, can
not safely he predicted, competitors should
submit their scores on o. prior TO Septern-
boz l. next. Competitors depositing scores

said date, viii be considered as having
complied with the rules as TO the time
limit
This statement directly contradcts the in
teryiev with Otto II. Kahn published in
said that it had been decided 10 continue
the contest for another year,
Mr.. Kahn said at the time that the ex-
tension had been decided on by the Metro
politan's directors in order to give larger
number of composers a chance in the con-
tes-
The announcement of the extension
brought forth q number Of protests from
composers who had already submitted
operas these composers asserting that the
longer time allowed would initiate against
those who had hurried their work in order
10 finish it in the required time.
In letters written to The Tribune the OBJ
jectors stated that i was manifestIy unfair
10 those who had completed their work in
the required time to be forced 10 compete
with others who had had a year more TO
perfect their work.
Mr.. Kahn could not be reached yesterday,
as he is in Bar Harbor, but it is understood
that the statement issued yesterday bore
his approval.
The only official who could be found yes
terday was John Brown, the business COIL
troiler OF the opera company.
You will notice. said Mr.. Brown, that
the statement says only that the contest SO
far has not been extended. In the rules
for the contest It Was stated that should
the jury deem il expedient it might reopen
the contest for an additional eighteen
months. The jury, however, has not Vet
beer appointed and will not De until after
September j.
Opera scores have been coming in pretty
regularly in the last few weeks, and We eX-
pect several more before September u 1
am not yet al liberty to say how many have
been received, and the authors names are
