CORN AND DROU1H.

In the current number of the Dry
Farming Bulletin, w. C. Palmer of the
state agricultural college has this in
teresti1g article:
This is the driest summer in the
history of North Dakota. The rain
fall so far this year is ten inches
below normal. This makes it an ideal
year for testing out the valuesof diff
ferent systems of tillage. The crops
are fair to good in the eastern and
western parts of the state, while in
the central part of the state from
north to south the crops are quite
poor, being in many cases a failure.
The one crop that is doing fine all
over the state is corn. In some Sec
tons it is the only crop that will be
worth anything, that will furnish food
for the stock. In this connection it Ia
interesting to note that there 5000
school children in the state growing
corn this summer. Last year there
were 5000, 80 that the fact that corn
does we'll in the state is being demon
strated at q great many points. -

immense foreign immigration to this
country in the past ten or twenty
years. That has been largely liquor
consuming population. Some of the
increase in consumption is easily ac-
counted for among this class of i'm
migrants.
We have taken the ground before,
and we are not disposed now to leave
it, that the agitation in this country
has been more against the saloon as
a legalized institution than it has been
against liquor as a beverage. The
fact that there are now over forty
millions of people in dry" territory
where there were only two and a
half millions of people ten years ago
Is significant of the desire Of the peo-
ple to wipe out tine saloon as a state
and local institution. 1t may be that
a certain element of the citizenship
drinks more than it did ten years
ago. 1t is also undeniably true that
the successful element OF American
citizenship has learned that intemper-
ate use of liquor does not 90 hand in
hand with success. AS a general
thing, business men, statesmen, profess
sional men and others whose success
depends upon steady nerves and clear
heads are not given to Incorporate
or excessive use of liquor.
Prohibition may not be the best
way Of regulating the traffic in liquor.
A great many intelligent enemies of
the whole liquor traffic admit that
there might be better means of regu'
lation and control, and cOncede that
the time when there shall be no slim
ulants manufactured or consumed will
approach pretty closely to the mille1-
ium. But this class will not return
to the open saloon system, even 1t
prohibition does not bring about an
ideal condition.

about all the use the democrats have

ly demonstrated in this state in the
past few years. Brother Joe Bloom
of the Devils Lake Journal never
misses a chance to hammer an insur-
gent head when he sees it, but he
accompanies the hammering with a
plai1tive request that the insurgents
vote for the democratic candidate for
governor. Blooms mission is to keep
alive the foolish and unreasonable
warfare within the republican party,
to the end that the democrats may
step in and carry off the bacon"
Now Bloom wants the insurgents
to ignore the result of the republican
primaries and vote for Burke. Bloom
desn't think much Of the primary law
anyway. He is one of the old time,

Gratis. And the Valley City Times
Record, whose editor is a candidate

to a recent attack of insurgents by
Bloom, says:

ment over the convention system :?
II it isn't; If we shall refuse to abide
by the results of its operation, what
then? How shall political parties be
maintained? If men like Cummins
and Dolliver and La Toilette and
Beveridge insist that the differences
between the progressive and stalwart
factions shall be settled within the
party, it would seem that the lesser
leaders of political reform in North
Dakota need not be deferred by the
yelpings of political cut-throat like
Bloom.
Bloom claims that it is the pro-
gressive LEADERS the Journal has
always criticized and he has criti-
cized them because they have kept
a great mass of voters within the re-
publican party and have thus lead
them to their own undojng.' There
is the milk in the cocoanut. Progress

reform lead to strife and turmoil with

goes after them. But it doesn't get

third bushel of wheat per acre, halt
rows it till foot high, and especially
after every rain. Every third year he
summer fallows and keeps the surface
loose and free from weeds. Last year
his wheat averaged "a bushels to the
acre. This year his crop looks like
one raised in bumper crop year,
while those of his neighbors are very
poor.
The Hoople demonstration farm
was started year ago this last
spring. The field that is used has
raised % crops of wheat and one
crop of corn. Last spring one four
acre field was MANFRED and planted
to corn and the adjoining one was put
into wheat. This year both fields are
in wheat. The one that was in wheat
last year may go five bushels to the
acre, while the one that was in corn
last year looks as though it would
easily go 70 bushels. The oaly differ
ence in handling is that the one had
corn and was :nanured last year; the
other was in wheat.
There are good crops to be found
in all parts of the state where the
right kind of tillage has been given.
Wheat on corn ground that was clean
cultivated has done fine, and such
fields can easily be picked out from
the appearance Of the crop.
