AGRICULTURAL
YEARLY REPOR I
Which Shows That by Using Rota'
tion it Has Been Possible to
Double the Yield.

There are now twenty-one de-
monstration farms in this state
In report from the Agricultural
College this statement is made az
result of these farms: 'The de.
monstration farms indicate that
any farmer can grow an average
yield of wheat to exceed twenty
bushels per acre with ordinary
farm tools such as he is now using
if he will keep enough stock to eat
up the corn produced on one-ffth
Of his land and the hay and oats
produced on another fifth, and ap.
lies the manure to the land, also
that larger yields will be secured
by having one-fifth of the farm in
corn and another one-ffth in Glow
er and the remaining three ffths
in grain
Anton Peterson is the manager
of the farm near Washburn and
makes the following report:
"The demonstration farm is To-
Gated mile east of Washburn in
Mclean county. Plots No. 1, No.
2, No. 3, and No. 4 were broken up
in 1904 and plots No. 5. and No. 6
were broken up in 1906 Most Of
this farm was put in flax the same
year it was broken up and wheat
and flax were the crops grown
each season until 1909. This farm
had never been in a cultivated crop
and it never had received any man
ure. The soil is.a sandy loan with
clay sub-soil thru which runs
strips of hardpan. The land is
thoroughly infested with annual
weeds, such as pigweed, Russian
thistle, and yellow mustard. The
problem here is the general one:
how to grow big crops, conserve
soil moisture, increase the soil
fertility and at the same time
eradicate the weed pests. With
this end in view the following ro-
tation was put in operation: 'O9

500 AND 6. n.
ARE BOTH BUSY
Many Miles Of Extension Viii Be
Built by Both Lines This Year
-Washburn to Profit.

The surveyors are at work on
the proposed ake-Medford line
of the 500 railroad The line will
be about half way between Els.
mond on the Northern Pacific and
Knox on the Great Northern.
The graders are now at work at
New Rockford on the new Great
Northern extension from Page to
Surrey on the main line. This
line will not start from Ayr as
formerly planned but from Page
and run direct to Fargo instead of
going in on the line already built.
The extension will be PIP miles
long.
Another survey for the Great
Northern is being run beginning
five miles west of New Rockford
and making for Williston, through
the Fort Berthold reservation.
The survey crosses the 500 at
Manfred and runs due west from
New Rockford some forty-fve
miles in an almost straight line.
The survey then trends northwest
and crosses the 500 between Gar
rison and Max and runs almost
parallel with the Plaza extension
Of the 500. The extension is to
be 227 miles in length.
Graders are now at work on the
line between Wilton and Pingree,
that road is to be completed in
October.
With all these other lines WASH
burn may be in line for another
road also. The 500 surveyors are
running lines for a cutoff from
Drake southwest to Washburn,
and it is reported that the line
will extend northeast to Devils
Dake and then to a connection
with the "wheat line'' to Duluth.

POLITICAL GOSSIP

announced his candidacy for the
position Of United States senate
Since he has done this it is re.
markable what a change has come
over some of the insurgent editors,
who year ago were saying all the
nice things they could about him.
Now they are trying to say as
many mean things about him as
they can put together in sentences
in their papers If Mr.. Engerud
was a good man when he leaned
toward insurgency he is. equally
as good man now that he leans
towards stalwartism. It is simply
a game of politics the best you
can say about it, with the insur-
gents on one side and the stalwarts
on the other. Mr.. Engerud while
on the supreme bench was recog-
nized as one Of the best justices
who ever sat in our supreme court.
He was spoken of as one of the
brainy and clean men of the state
and a large number of men who
have been identified as stalwarts
but who have slipped ::to the in
surgent for political reasons we're
then sending out paeans of praise
for the ex-judge on every hand.
Now that he has asserted his in
dependence and come out as a
straight republican candidate,
these same political Judases are
using their little hammers to try
and knock him. Such is the irony
of fate and the blasted hopes of
political ambitions. -Newburg Sun.
