The increase Of population In Washing
ton. as well as other nearby cities, re-
quiring an increasing volume Of products
from the field and garden to supply the
markets Of these places, Is leading many
people just now to consider what meas.
ures should be taken for maintaining the
supply and increasing It. TO facilitate the
project Of making two biaoes of grass
grow, where only one grew before, TO
enable the gardeners and farmers sucn
as Mr.. Heitmuller to produce from their
lands larger crops and Of better quailty,
and to promote the rehabilitation Of the
soil, Mr.. Heitmuller refers to what the
government is doing through its Depart
ment of Agriculture in spending vast
sums in educating the people now 70
treat their lands scientifically and to Sc
cure the very best results.
Mr.. heitmuller's success Is particularly
interesting to residents Of Washington,
many Of whom own vacant land adjacent
to, and in the suburban sections of. the
city: His success not only furnishes
spirit, also food for the thousands Of
Families who reside in Washington When
asked whether he tried to grow any
watermelons on his land Mr.. Heitmuller
said: mo, indeed; watermelons do not
bring any more than about SO a hundred,
and they are so heavy that the expense
of carrying them to market Is too much
to Justify the effort. If. however, a
number Of people living along the railway
lines were to go about raising canta-
loupes, watermelons, small fruits and
garden truck to ship In carload lots 1t
would pay them well.
Refers to Community Farming.
II am talking now about community
farming-commerciali it. That is the
only way by which refrigerator cars
could be profitably utilized. / would like
very much to see the lands around Wash
ington, and particularly adjacent to my
farm, rehabilitated. am very well sat
isfied with my experiments, and I am
sure that others can do just as well as
have done. 1t means, too. a great deal
not only for the man who goes into the
work, but also for the thousands in
Washington who delight in nice, fresh
fruit and vegetables during the growing
season.
1.-TWO hundred crates Of cantaloupes
that bring an average of $1.50 crate
the season through, from an acre of land
that cost euly $50 an acre, Ia not q bad
speculation. / am looking forward to
getting even better results next year.
Speaking Of farming conditions general

terprise necessary to hard study and

school children of the county who are

contestants were from 10 to IA years

Mrs. Lowell, the county superintendent,
states that there are five times as
many that graduate now that the ex-
ercises are held. And when they grad
uate they usually go on with their edu-
cation. Mrs. Lowell is very enthusi
asIic and is doing great deal to in
crease the efficiency of the schools by
having things for her pupils that APP
peal to their interest. The boys and
girls, for instance, that were in the
corn contest took great interest in
it, and felt an Importance that it would
be difficult to bring about in any other
way.
There was also a fine exhibit Of

Home on the Farm Of County
Surveyor.

Lawrence McGovern, 13-year- old
boy who ran away from his home at
Butte, Mont, and who arrived in Far
go Saturday evening, has already found
a home in Cass county on the farm of
County Surveyor S. F. Crabbe. Young
McGovern gave as his reason for leav-
ing home that it was not that he was
dissatisfied with his: environment, but
that he wished to see the world.
He was well liked at the police sta
ton and everybody who saw him took
a great fancy to him. Desk Sergeant
Fred Bowers was instrumental in pro-
curing the lad home with Mr. Crabbe.

FIVE BAD BOYS
Stone CHICKENS
MRS. L. A. BARNES CAUSES AR
REST OF FIVE HAIF-GRoWN
BOYS FOR sToNINe FLOCK OF
CHICKENS AND KILLING SEW.
ERAL-5oYs FINED IN COURT.

For stoning a flock OF white leg
horn chickens that were roaming in
front of her house yesterday after
noon, Mrs. l.. A. Barnes Of Cotter's
station just out of Fargo on the
northwestern branch, had ave boys ar
rested and arraigned in police court
this morning. The young fellows were
all between the ages of is and IL and
protested to the states attorney this
morning that they were only having a
little sport and did not realize that
any of the chickens had been killed
by the stones they had thrown. They
were cached fined 81 and discharged
and admonished not to repeat the Of
Tense.
Mrs. Barnes appeared herself and
testified against them, stating that 1t
was not the first time that her chick
ems had been molested by half grown
boys, and that she could not afford to
lose the fowls, after spending a whole
summer in raising them. On other oc-
casions she let the matter go, but she
felt that she should be protected in
some way in the future and so called
upon the assistance of the police.
All the boys are we'll known. in the
city. Each expressed considerable re-
greet and stated that it was only a
mistaken idea of wit, and it had SEEM
ed funny to them at the time. They
promised that the act should not be
repeated.
