night the Dairymen's association ad-
journed to the opera house where
the biggest meeting of the convention
was held. The handsome theatre
was filled early in the evening. A.
ter several pretty selections by the
Jamestown orchestra, Mayor Blewett
introduced the first speaker, Gov.
that jamestown was to be congratu-

ed men, interested in diversified

Governor John Burke delivered the
opening address,, taking for his sub.
ject "The Conservation of our Sol"
a topic of keen interest to all at this
time and conservation of our natural
resources is occupying the nations
attention. Natural resources, he said
are usually thought of as mines, tim
Der, water power, ETC.. but the gov
ernor asserted North Dakota's great
est resource is the everything soil,
although this is underlaid in nearly
half the state by the valuable Ignite
coal and also excellent clay for brick
and pottery, yet the greatest natural
resource is the soil, upon the pro-
ducts of which all animal life must
depend for its very existence.

lees and sloughs, now goes into the
spongelike soil to remain until
brought up through the thirsty vege.
tation. Seldom now, can the dry hot
winds blow for hundreds of miles
from the southwest over prairie
grass until everything is cooked to
death. The moisture now goes even
into the subsoil formerly hard as
rock.
Causes Of Decreasing Yields.
The reason for the lecrease in
yields was given 10y Professor Hover
stad, who stated that at present
North Dakota's wheat crop averaged
just IL bushels per acre, just pay
ing expenses, although, of course,
there are many shining exceptions.
In early days this country was COW
vered with IS or 40 different kinds
of wild clovers, wild leguminous
plants, soon destroyed. Fires form
erly left needed potash in the SOIL
For thousands and perhaps millions
of years buffalos roaming this coun-
try had died, their bones decayed,
leaving phosporic acid in the land.
An old river captain stated that his
boat was once stopped for six hours
while an immense herd of buffalos
swan across the Missouri below him.
But now all the buffalo are gone and
even the stock is shipped to eastern
yards for killing and in some places
the phosphoric acid is at present so
low that it must be supplied artifi-
cially.
Can Restore Soil.
North Dakota can grow clover and
alfalfa, potatoes, and can restore the
soil as good as new. There is truth
in the toxin theory and North Da
kota man has discovered plant dis
eases which, when controlled, will
raise the yield, but at present rota-
ton OF crops and introduction of live
stock are the greatest remedies.
Agricultural Art.
Prof. Hoverstad then took up the
subject Agricultural Art" which he
said was but intelligent, scientific,
business like farming. Where farm
err is successful it means intelligent
work and more intelligent means in
struction. The state has colleges do
ing this work with extensions, dem

hogs and men. The soil cultivated
and restored. After this two or three
heavy crops of wheat can be grown
North Dakota's corn showed we'll at
Omaha alongside of the Blue Ribbon
Indiana exhibits.
Suggests Toxin Theory.
The governor spoke of the toxin
theory. One crop leaves poison or
toxins in the soil, deleterious to the
same crop but not injurious to anoth-
or kind Of crop. This theory seems
reasonable as in the old country fine
crops are grown 400 and 500 years
from the same soil in which the crops
are carefully rotated.
Dairy Communities Prosperous.
And therefore the state has be-
come interested in the dairy business
hence production of grasses, corn fod'
der and large pastures, all putting
more into the soil: making it not
poorer but richer.
Dairy communities he said, are al
ways rich; three creameries in Nor
ton county distributed 100000 in
that vicinity in 1908 Dairying is
a sure thing also. The dairyman is
not absolutely dependent upon rain
hot wind; there is something coming
in all the time. The governor stated
that he was especially glad to see
so many people in jamestown and
this vicinity so interested.
Means Hard Work,
Dairying, however, means hard
work, every day, Sunday, Monday
showday and the 4th of July always
something to do. Yet, the man at

go. Prof. Hoverstad introduced.
Prof. Hoverstad commented upon
the large attendance and referred
to an early convention at Jamestown
at which only one dairyman attend
ed. He stated that he was familiar
with the agricultural resources of
the state, and was becoming more
and more enthusiastic over them. In
early days it was thought that the
Red River Valley only could be cul.

town were the western limit, and be-
yond that it was too dry. He refer
red to an institute at Dickinson,
where ranchers all asserted grain
could not be grown and yet last
season the largest yield of the whole
oIoIc Cd1ue AIOu luo Montana line.
One farmer threshed AZ days and his
lowest was % bushels per acre. Yet
in the sos farmers tried to raise
grain and could not. One, Mr.. Dick
inson of Dickinson, tried for II years
and his yield averaged but five bush
els; another said south winds always
killed the crop, and he refused to
take the whole township for IS cents
an acre which is now hard to get at
$22.
Wave Of Population.
But now, said Prof. Hoverstad,
they can grow the finest crops of
grain; yet there is no more rain fall
now than then the weather records
show. The explanation given by the
professor was this, that just at one
time during the sos and COS there
was an immense wave of population
settling all at once over the west,
covering North Dakota, South Dako-
ia, Nebraska and as far as Colorado.

soP But the town has a bonanza

would receive $4,000 annually from
him, an abundant amount for a
