Why PIow Deep.


1. Plant feeds in the soil turned by
the plow-the seed bed.
Deep blowing takes In more
moisture when 1t rains.
8. Holds moisture better.
4. The crop does not suffer as
much from hot winds.
How TO PIow Deep.
Follow binder with disc. This, in
loosening up the surface soil, cuts of
evaporation and also Ellis weeds that
take lots of water. This will hold
enough moisture so the soil will pull
verize thoroughly which is the main
purpose Of blowing. Flowing the soil
dry, Is good deal like kneading the
dry flour instead of the dough.
When TO PIow Deep.
In the fall--the earlier the better
or when summer following.
How to Bring Moisture to the Plants.
The moisture moves through the
compact soil, so to get moisture to
move from subsoil into plowed soil.
pack it with subsurface packer, or
with a disc, setting the discs straight,
and the same day as plowed. The
point is to pack the lower part
OF the plowed soil and not to pack the
surface which breaks up soil granules
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-09-04

and makes It easier for the soil to
drift. And then again the surface soil
is wanted loose.
How to Keep Moisture.
Loosen surface soil with disc. har
row or weeder as the moisture cannot
move up through loose soil. In the
fall use the disc; 1t makes a mulch
and also leaves soil rough.
How to Keep Soil From. Drifting.
Keep 1t full Of grass or alfalfa roots
and manure Pillow under green
plants. These all hold son grains
together in granules just as a. band
holds bunch Of shingles together.
Harrow soil when moist on surface.
The disc causes less drifting than
the harrow. Do not use roller or
planker---Ehey break UP the little
humps on the surface into fine soil
which can be blown away and they
pack the surface soil which is wanted
loose. In. case the soil is already.
drifting, spread straw thinly over the
field. Better yet, manure, spread thin
with manure spreader.
Caution.
In case the land has been plowed

slxty-one votes were cast at the
first election for officers for the re-
Gently incorporated village OF Dill
worth, the polls of which closed last
Saturday night at o'clock.
There were two tickets for the choice
of the voters, a regular caucas ticket
md one framed up by an Independent
element in the village who were OPP
posed to the nominees of the regu-
lars for trustees, Messrs. Lyman and
Hougstad. The latter names were re-
placed on the Independent ticket by
John NJ Manning, cashier of the bank
Of Dilworth and CLAUS Anderson. The
latter gentlemen were nominated for
justices on the caucas ticket.
All of the candidates were practi-
cally given the full vote cast ex-
cept for trustees and for that office
the solid strength Of the independents
was polled for the nominees on that
tickets. defeating Lyman and Houg-
stad. Personally the voters had not
a thing against Mr.. Lyman and Mr..
Hougstad and their fitness in every
particular to guide the destinies Of the
village was never questioned in the
least. but there were people in the
village who feared they were not as
enterprising and progressive in re-
gard to their ideas Of public improve
ment, sidewalks and other matters
along that line.
AS has been reflected from time to
time in this department, the sentiment
among the voters of Dilworth for high
license and demonstrated by the vot-
ers last Saturday in the personnel OF
the men they selected for officers.
President Sponsel will call a meeting
of the trustees as soon as practical
and according to the terms of the
statutes guiding such matters.

live STOCK MARKET
HAS GOOD GROWTH
AUGUST RECEIPTS AT SOUTH ST,
PAUL YARDS ARE FAR ABOVE
THE AVERAGE.

st. Paul, Sept, Awhile marketing
OF live stock In South st. Paul in Aug
ust this year was not as heavy as in
the same month last year, when the
drought throughout the northwest
forced farmers and stockmen in this
territory to dump their cattle, hogs and
sheep on the market by the train load,
regardless of condition, the local move
ment exceeded the average for the past
flve years in every department I'm
official figures, which to all practical
purposes represent the trade OF the
month accurately, were made available
at the close of the market session yes
terday afternoon.
During the period total receipts at
the stock yards were $4,000 cattle, H.
500 calves, $4,000 hogs, $4,000 sheep and
1000 horses and 1850 cars were re-
CURED to haul in this stock. Totals
for the same month last year were
eO,547 cattle, 1882 calves, 1880 hogs,
S1,601 sheep, S27 horses and S,412 cars.
OF the preceding Ave years the record
for the month in 1910 is the only one
to show larger trade volume and the
abnormal business of one year ago, due
to the dried up fields and pastures Of
this territory, only serves to emphasize
the tremendous growth of the loca
yard. as the count this year lags but
little behind that Of 1910 in any de.
partment.
Exceed the FiVe-Year Average.
Comparisons with the five-year aver
age, which reflects the maximum
movement at the yards for any like
period in their history, still further
emphasizes this development. The
average August run from 1905 and In
Guiding 1910 was 42,067 cattle, 1854
calves. 2s,829 hogs, 4s,155 sheep, sS1
horses and 2,503 cars. The figures for
the month just passed exceed the aver
age in every instance by comfortable
margin.
1t has been a substantial trade
throughout the month with none Of the
nervousness and abnormal strain char
acterizing the enforced liquidation of
one year ago. Prices have been Of sat-
isfactory summer range, and local quo
tations have fully eQualed those of
competing markets and often exceeded
them. Cattle have sold at fair pro-
pasturage in most parts Of the north
west having contributed to the wealth
Of farmers in no small measure.
Hog Values Above Average.
Hog values have ranged above the
average Of other western markets much
of the time, but the high rates have
failed to draw out the response from
shippers that such inducements might
have been expected to secure. With
prices at the market ranging the great
er share OF the month between 81 and
$3.50 a hundredweight, comparison of
South st. Paul figures with those at
competitive points is most f1attering
Harvest and threshing operations dur
ing the month tended to retard the
marketward movement
The sheep market has been credit
able in the volume of business trans
acted, though prices have been on the
usual weakened summer basis. There
Is an especially strong call just now
for good we: feeding sheep and
lambs. Wit three weeks large
bands of Montana feeders have been
sold to farmers in Minnesota and
neighboring states.

Gossip From Europe's Capitals

London, Sept. 4.--Turkey has at last
definitely awarded +he contract for a
battleship Of the so-called dread
nought' type to w. G. Armstrong,
Whitworth & Company OF Newcastle
on-Tyne and to Vickers Limited, the
latter to furnish the armament. The
government reserves the right OF or
dering another vessel at the same
price.
The new battleship. 1t is said. VIII
be the largest warship in the world.
The price to be paid is considerably
higher than that at which the Bsthle-
hem Steel Company OF America In con-
junction with another English firm
offered to build the ships. However,
as the Grand Vizier candidly told q
diplomat who was supporting the ten
der OF the American company, Turkey
by placing the contract with the suc-
ceasful tenderers Will obtain cornpen-
sation in other directions which will
more than make up for the Increased
cost Of the ship.
II has not yet been disclosed OF
what these compensations viii consist,
but II is generally understood that the
British minister at Constantinople was
able to inform the Porte that the ac-
ceptance of the Armstrong tender
might induce the British government
to look with kindiier eye on the
Turkish proposals for the settlement
OF certain questions outstanding be-
tween the two countries. Among these
were questions arising out of the
steamboat monopoly held by q British
company to operate steamers on Turk
ish rivers; nom interference with
Turkeys plans In Albania: and the
long standing dispute over the build
Ing of the Bagdad railway. On the
latter subject active negotiations are
now proceeding In the Turkish capital,
with good prospects Of success and the
ultimate completion OF the line.
