Upon urgent request Prof. H. L. Boil
ley furnished the following for publica-
ton regarding wheat root rot and
wheat wilt diseases:
The better farming train furnished
by the Northern Pacific railroad has
allowed me to make observations dur
ing the week upon many wheat fields
in many different localities in the CEN
trail and western parts of the state.
$50 far, have not observed any
wheat fields suffering materially from
drouth. The stand Is of good color
and generally strong for this stage of
growth.
Wheat wilt and wheat root rot fungi
are, however, doing great damage on
certain of the old wheat land areas
and in certain fields of virgin, or new
land, on which poor, diseased wheat
has been used for seed.
THE wilt diseases of wheat kill of
the young wheat in the same manner
as flax wilt destroys that grain. ]
have seen the wheat in spots sick and
dying out just the same as it willis off
in the case of flax. The fungi are diff
ferent but the results are much the
same on the crop and on the soil.
Anyone can find out whether he has
the disease on his lands from the
seed by pulling up the plants Healthy
wheat at this time is white below the
ground even down to the seed, and
will be stooling well. Diseased plants
win be whiting away in spots or will
be sending UP only single unstooled
plants, which are brown or cresote coll
ored below the ground line or SO
spotted below. The diseases are more
destructive on slightly alkaline areas
than on well drained land and such
| diseases, / think. have much to do
with the deteriorated yields upon the
older wheat soils Of the state. am
not strong believer that two or
three or ten or twenty crops of wheat
can exhaust the fertility OF North Da-

was planted in each of the pots. Dis
titled water was poured in to pot
bearing each kind of materials. other
sets OF materials were treated with wa
ter from a common faucet, water in
which straw had been soaked, water
strained from barn manure, from hen
droppings, and water strained from a
commercial fertilizer.
The wheat in every pot grew. The
progress made in each case indicated
that air and sunlight with moisture
will produce crop on almost any kind
of soil properly handled. The best
crops grew from the powdered sewer
pipe, while the poorest were developed
in the pots containing the powdered
glass. Professor Willard believes that
that was due to the. fact that the brick
was porous and afforded excellent
drainage and air while the glass pack
ed too tightly shut off the water and
air.
Soil Not the Only Requisite.
The experiments were principally in
tersting as showing the great value
Of better farming. They demonstrate
that the farmer who tills the soil in
diligently may expect results, while
the man who simply puts in the seed
and waits for nature to do the rest
is likely to meet with small success.
While there is no denying the impor-
lance of fertility in SOIL It is only
one of the many elements of success
on the farm.
The Importance of intelligent effort
is what those aboard the Northern
Pacific's better farming special train
are explaining to the farmers of the
northwest. The effort is not being
wasted, for the farmers are inter-
ested. The meetings held in the North
Dakota towns east of the Missouri
have been very well attended and
thousands have visited the cars in
which the farm exhibits are shown.
The train leaves today for q trip
through the western part Of the state
and Montana, on the way to the coast.

Better Farming important.

The importance Of better farming
methods was admirably illustrated in
the cases Of two fields near Hazelton,
that were examined by the North Da-
kota Agricultural college experts
aboard the special One plot was on
one Of the demonstration farms that
are being titled by the owners under
the direction of the college authorities.
The other was across the road from it.
and is being cultivated by the owner
according to the old-fashioned way
of farming. The soil and conditions
are similar and both fields have been
under cultivation several years The
grain on the demonstration farm is
heavy and healthy, while that on the
tract across the road is of poor color
and so thin in spots that some OF it
scarcely will be worth cutting.
The soil on the demonstration plot
was cultivated scientifically to con-
serve the moisture from the SHOWS
and spring rains. The dust mulch on
the surface has prevented evapora-
ton. The ground is moist and cool
an inch below the surface. while the
soil on the field opposite is dried far
below the surface. Only an unusually
heavy precipitation will save some of
that wheat. The owner of that field
and one of the others in the neigh
borhood will not make the mistake
again of doing their work in the old
way. The demonstration plots have
been more convincing to them than any
amount of argument could have been.
It has shown to them that 1t is not
enough to have good soil-in fact, that
the fertility of the soil is not the only
requisite, by any means; that the
farmer himself is the main factor in
successful agriculture.
Raises Wheat in Pot of Ground Glass.
Prof. Daniel e. willard develop
ment agent of the Northern Pacific,
conducted an interesting series OF ex-
periments when he was geologist and
soil expert of the North Dakota. col
lege of agriculture, that demonstrate
the Importance Of methods Of agricul-
ture as compared with soil fertility. He
raised a fair growth OF wheat in a pot
Of ground glass, on which there had
been nothing but distilled water

EXPRESS AGENT
ASSAULTS A MAN
Cole Tries to Choke johnson as Lat,
ter is Getting Goods From
Express Co.

Horace Cole attempted to choke
Charlie Johnson in the sub-office OF
the Adams Express company, in the
Union station today, as Johnson was
leaving with his goods, according to
Johnson, who gives the following ac-
count of the trouble:
Johnson. who is connected with one
of the theatres in this city, has to go
to the express office every morning,
in order to get the films necessary for
the performances during the day
AS Johnson was receiving them this
morning from Horace Cole, the agent
in charge, the latter said: u don't
want YOU around here any more
This took Johnson by surprise as they
had always been on friendly terms.
Saying nothing, however, he started
away with the films, when Cole cried;
TIN not afraid of you or any man.
and reached out, grasping Johnson BY
the throat. He did not hold on long
though, and Immediately on being re
LEASED Johnson left.
4 Returning up town he sent an offlcel
down. who arrested Cole on the charge
of assault and battery.
The men We're always on the mos
friendly terms, according to Johnson
and no reason can be assigned for tn
sudden action on the part OF Cole.
