Pertinent Query.
Query: If the Philippines are
making such excellent progress as
Mr.. Dickinson reports, why is it a
wild "delusion" for them to look for
ward to independence within the
present generation" even under the
best and most rapid development
possible?"
The republicans in their next ma
tional platform will in substance
probably express themselves as Mr..
Dickinson has done. 1t is the recog-
nized republican position. Yet 1t is
obvious that If the Philippines are
not cut loose from us within a gem
Grafton, it will be difficult to divorce
them at all. BY the end of another
generation American will have be-
come thoroughly intrenched and will
demand still further American oc-
cupation of the islands for the pro-
lection of American interests.
1t is believed that only in the event
of the Taft regime being succeeded
by a democratic administration, is
there any hope of early withdrawal
of American troops in the interest
of neutralized Philippine republic.
Democrats have advocated the
training of the Filipinos in selfgov-
ernment with a view of cutting loose
from them as quickly as possible con-
sistent with the islands welfare.
They have tried in vain to get the
to agree to some date for
separation. Twenty years has been
suggested far earlier date, in
view of the persistent agitation of
probable war with Japan, would be
preferable to not a few democrats.

this section needs to be shallow and
considerable effort should be made to
select the seed corn in the fieled anI
fire dry it, which increases it's vi,ali-
ry. One Of the very valuable results
from corn growing is the good cond.-
tion in which it leaves the ground for
the succeeding crop, being in many
cases fully equal to the bare fallow
and in addition furnishes a very val
liable crop.
Supt. Hoverstad states that corn
and clover is now an assured success
and the one crop system 10 being re-
placed by a rotation OF crops, and
the farmers are reaping the larger
yields which this system of farming
brings about.

that this is a very opportune time for

in decreased yields and that the farm
ers in this state are fortunate in this
that they have the advantage OF
the experience of the older states
and of improved machinery which

Farmers ! tlnstitute|KC Concluded
What Has Been Acccmplis he by These Import
ant Meetings Over the State During the Sea-
son Just Closed--CouId Not Fill tAll
Enga9ementS r

The North Dakota farmers insti-
tude closed the winter season at Will
liston April 4th. Some ninety-five
meetings have been held since last
November, with total attendance
of $4,000. The interest has been keen
The farmers have taken lively part
in the discussions which has helped
very much to bring out the conditions
that they are laboring under in the
different sections. The larger towns
have given the larger attendance.
The business men have taken great
interest in the meetings, having In
a great many cases met the institute
corps with a brass band and also fur
nished music at the sessions. In
many towns the Commercial clubs
have furnished free dinners and OFTEN
times supper as we'll. The rail-
roads have also been verv active in
assisting the institutes. The Great
Northern railway has furnished free
'ansportatfon at great many plac-
es to those who wished to attend and
have also on a number Of occasionst
held trains to accomm odate those wis.,
ing to remain for an institute. The
weather has been fine and but two
meetings have been missed during
the whole fall and winter circuit on
account Of stormy weather.
Previously the main attention has
been givene to grain growing and how
to increase the fertility by growing
clover and alfalfa, so that now alfal-
ia and clover are being grown all
over the state with much success,
clover is doing especially well in the
eastern part of the state and alfalfa
in the western part of the state. Supt.
Hoverstad states that the reports CON-
ing in from the farmers indicate that
they are getting exceptional yields
of seed, some hundred acre fields
averaging four and even i've bushels
per acre. The yield Of hay is also
very large, in some cases four tons
to the acre and the clover lasts for a
number of years; in fact cases are
reported where It has been grown for
ten years without reseeding. This
line of teaching has been continued,
but tree planting and corn growing
has also been added. Mr.. o. C.
Gregg of Minnesota, who has been
with the Institutes the last season
says that he has found corn growing
in all parts of this state, and very
successfully, and predicts that it will
be one of the prominent crops in the
state, also that the golden dent sent
out by the Fargo agricultural college
will mature in practically all parts of
the state. The growing season is real
ly longer than it was at first imag-
Ined. The frosts that are sometimes
said to occur between May 18th and
Sept. 10th are not blanket frosts, but
merely touch some Of the lower plac-
es so that there is ample time for
growing a ninety day corn, and dur.
ing the growing season the days are
very long so that there Is consider
able more sunshine than is the case

IN NEW RULE
Some Line on Their Working
Force Man Be Secured
Soon

A definite line on the possibilities
of the new football rules is looked for
this week when Yale. Harvard. Prince
ton. Dartmouth, Brown, West Point,
Annapolis and Cornell play their first
games of the season.
Coaches refuse to accept the defeat
of Pennsylvania by Ursinus, Saturday
as indicating that the 1910 rules have
weakened the game or placed an I'M
due premium on the lighter team.
They say that Pennsylvania's defeat
was merely one of the fortunes of the
game such as turned up now and then
under the old rules.
From the camps of all the big teams
however, come reports that the
coaches are "aeroplaning" slightly
and are looking with misgivings on
the outcome of their first games.
Saturdays game proved only con-
clusively that the new game would be
more open than the old, which. It is
believed. will make 1t more interest
ing from q spectators standpoint.
With the open game comes the great
er chance for unexpected and startl-
ing plays and a degree of uncertainty
that will undoubtedly make football
more Of popular" sport than 1t has
ever been.
