BRANCH LINE TO
Be COMPLETED
The Grading Viii Be Completed This
Fall But Rails VIII Not Be
Laid Until Spring.

When the officials went over the
Pingree- Wilton branch of the Nor
thern Pacific, it was decided that
it would be cheaper to complete
the grading as soon as possible.
The work was so nearly completed
that it would not be economical to
discontinue operations now as the
transportation of the crew and the
equipment from the branch and
the taking of others back there lat.
er would be nearly as expensive as
to let them remain and finish the
work.
The work is now being rushed
more than ever. according to the
statement made by -sub-contractor
Tobin who arrived there Saturday
with number of men he had se-
cured in the Twin Cities.
The grading will probably be
completed this fall but the rails
will not be laid until next spring.
He believes the road will be in op-
Grafton before the next harvest.

tatofs Watch Aviator ch1se.

The first North Dakota made
aeroplane, christened the Dakota
was builtl in Grand Forks ~
Messrs 81. 2 Prather and u: Me-
Guire. It is patterned sitter the
Monoplane Of Santos Dumont and
is built almost entirely 81 material
obtained in Grand FORKS.
The Dakota's initial tryout was
given last Friday morning from
the Mcclure farm north east of
the city. Local aerial enthusiasts
were greatly interested as they
watched the aeroplane reach
height of two hundred feet and
pursued hawk which happened
to be near. The special speed
put forth in the chasing Of the
hawk caused one of the braces to
snap and A. D. Henry the amateur
aviator considered it advisable to
alight. 1t was found also that the
propeller was slightly unbalanced,
which had caused an unusual
vibration. 1t was taken to Grand
Forks for repairs and another
flight made few days later.

Make a Careful Selec-
tion Of Your Seed Corn
Perfect Ventilation IS as Essential to Plant Life as
It IS to Human Life--Have Some System
For Keeping Ears Separate.

The Extension Division at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, in discus.
sing the seed corn question in con-
nection with the Seed Corn Week,
commencing Sept. 18th, says that
twenty ordinary ears of corn will
supply seed enough for an acre, and
that it will require but few hours
during seed corn week to, intelli-
gently select enough seed for a
large crop. With some system by
which the ears can be kept separ-
ate, to admit the circulation of air
around each, like placing them on
racks or wire baskets, seed ears
may be picked before thorough
maturity. This is very good plan
to pursue as a protection against
injury to the germ through posi-
BILE freezing likely to follow if the
selection Of seed is left to a late
date in the fall. Perfect ventila-
ton is as essential to plant life as
it is to human or animal life.
The selection of seed corn for
next springs planting is one of the
important subjects for farmers to
consider now, and to keep in mind
until the opening of seed corn week
Sept. 18th. Moisture in the corn
is dangerous. It is important that
all of it be evaporated quickly. The
experts at University Farm say it
can be best achieved through a free
circulation of air around each ear.
Husks should be off of seed ears
before Oct. lst to provide ample
time for them to dry out before
freezing weather In long spells
of wet weather a little artificial heat
will facilitate evaporation.
Shelves made of laths placed
three or four inches apart, INSTALL
ed in building where there is a
draft circulating freely through it,
and protected from rains-or the
shelves made of wire netting
affords suitable facilities for cur
ing seed corn. Preparations Of this
character should be made now-on
some rainy day-in anticipation of
Seed Corn Week, beginning Sept.
18th. Corn placed on such shelves
before Oct. 1st, and thus thourugh-
ly dried, is in no danger of mold
ing or Of injury by frost.
