Looking For Hay

VIM. Mass and John Raden-

last week in search of hay and hay
land. They say that the hay crop
near Aberdeen is a failure and the
grain crop is an entire loss. none
Of it worth cutting.
MIR. Mass is in the market for
two thousand tons Of hay and be-
sides leasing several quarters of
hay land, he intends to make
headquarters at Larvik where he
will purchase for cash all the hay
farmers in this vicinity can haul
in. After the hay has been cut it
will be baled and shipped by freight

baseball game, according to the
reports, and full of clean, snappy
work. Thirteen hits were secured
off Wickham, the Mandan passer.
Several members of the Wash

n. Dakota Farmer
Is Raising Beans
New Industry Which Appears to
Have Good Prospects IN This
State This Year

Carpio, y. D., July 25.-Richard
johnson, who formerly lived south
of Des Laces: but who about two
years ago bought the Botz place
east of Carpio, has piece of land
which he bought this spring from
neighbor, and which he intends
to have a crop on it if diversified
farming will do it. He planted on
the place, thirty-fye acres of
wheat, twenty-five acres of corn,
fifteen acres of flax and forty acres
of beans.
Say it over and say it slowly
forty acres of beans.
+ A newspaper man called at the
place yesterday and took a look at
the crop. Especially the bean
crop, which needless to say, is the
star feature of the farm. Forty
acres of beans, ordinary navy
beans, baked bean variety, are
supposed to yield fifty to eighty
bushels to the acre. They are
planted with drill like corn and
cultivated as corn is, with e
riding cultivator. At this time
they are just in blossom and look
very much like a garden. In the
fall they are to be pulled and
threshed. That is where the work
comes. But they are worth $2.75
per bushel on the market and that
will help some.
On the land referred to, the
corn looks good, the fax looks
good, and the wheat looks good
for hay. IF the whole country
was put into as many varied crops
as the johnson land, there would
be no trouble about the wheat
disease or about money to pay the
interest on the. farm.

Newspaper and Community

No movement ever attained sue
cess without publicity and in the
nature of things any movement
requiring for its success the sup
port of numerous persons must
have the invaluable aid of a com.
mon mouth piece. The kind of
publicity needed in this develop
ment is afforded by the local paper
at every stage of its progress. The
local editor should be and usually
is conversant with the community g
needs; he is wholly in sympathy
with and an enthusiastic supporter
Of every undertaking that is calcu-
lated to make his town bigger, bet
ter aud more enterprising.
The first evidence, therefore, of
a community's awakening is to be
found in its local newspaper. and
the first act Of those initiating a
movement for local development is
to enlist the sevioes of and work
hand in hand with that paper.
But this fact must not be mis-
construed The newspaper is a
business institution, the same as
IS 8 dry goods Or a grocery store.
It must givea financial return for
, the money invested in it and for
the labor expended upon it. The
grsatefs part Of the exploitation
performed BY newspaper is more
directly for the benefit Of some
thing or somebody else then for
the publisher himself. But paper,
ink, type and everything necessary
TO produce q newspaper cost money
and for financial support the news.

who derive benefit from the pub

The benefits arising from the
publishing Of q newspaper are not

ltisers. The paper is q constant

uphold the moral end of the law,
as it should be upheld, with the
legal end. and looks upon all
statutes with an impartial eye and
with view of applying them
through the judiciary for the in
tent and purpose with which they
were enacted.
Crawford is a judge upon whom
all could unite, who would do
credit to the supreme bench and
to the state, and a man who, if he
is in the field, and The Search
Light is of the opinion that he
may be, there could be no issue
raised against him which would
make anything in the way Of an
unpleasant or unclean campaign.
It would put the judiciary in the
fright light and would make a clean
cut and statesmanlike campaign,
and would relieve at least that end
of the political situation from
annoying complications. The
Search. Light believes that he is an
eminently fit Judge to become a
member of our highest court, and
it believes that the consensus of
public opinion will be for him
when once the matter is brought
to the attention of the voters Of
the state. While it is early to
suggest candidates, it has seemed
appropriate in this case to The
Search. Light to suggest man
who it appears is SO we'll fitted,
clean personally and entirely COM
petent both from a legal and
moral standpoint, and one to
whose candidacy there could be
no objection Of any valid force.
The Search-Ligh hopes that his
name will be given careful con-
sideration before the time comes
that candidates are putt the field.

Irrigation Prov
ing Big Success
Should be Tried Here Since It Has
Been Found That Grain Cannot
Grow Otherwise

There has been no rain here
this month and thoughts of irri.
CATION are again uppermost in the
minds of the farmers. The corn
and fax is still in pretty good
condition but if water could be
turned on at will, there would be
at least fifty per cent more crops.
State Engineer Atkinson has just
returned from a trip over the
western part of the state and dur
ing his absence visited the Viii.
liston and lower Yellowstone and
saw the wonderful results being
obtained from the use of irrigation
water on these lands.
There is approximately 1000
acres being watered on the Will
liston project aud 10000 acres ON
the lower Yellowstone. Now that
the differences between the
farmers and the government h ave
been adjusted the watering of the
crops is going along we'll and it is
expected that next year practically
all of these irrigable lands will
receive water. The wheat gives
promise of a yield Of thirty
bushels per acre with many
fields that will yield forty bushels.
The farmers have begun to see the
income that is to be had from
alfalfa and have seeded a large
acreage this year. The first cutting
of this crop was made two weeks
ago and the second crop is coming
along nicely, being from eight
inches to a foot high. Three cut
tings will be made this year and a
total yield OF five tons per acre is
expected. The state engineer be.
lieves that within few years the
average annual net income from
these irrigated lands will be not
less than $50 per acre. With the
lands irrigated there can be no
failure. Hail is the only thing
that might cause worry and this
strikes but seldom and can be in
sured against.
It would be to the great advan.
tage of every farmer in the
western part Of the state to con.
serve all the moisture which runs
down a coulee or stream on his
land. It is simple problem to
dam these coulees and carry the
food waters of the spring season
over the land and thus insure a
crop every year. Many farmers of
the state have already done this
and others are preparing their
dams and bitches for next season.
Several thousand acres along the
upper Mouse river are being irri-
gated this season, and a bountiful
harvest is assured on these lands.
When the lands are 50 situated
that they cannot take advantage
of coulees or streams, several acres
can be watered from wells-enough
to water sufficient vegetables and
small fruit to supply a large family
for the entire year and have some
to sell.
On the Williston experiment
station farm large quantities of
strawberries, currants and goose.
berries are being raised under ir-
rigation, as we'll as cherries, plums
and hardy apples. The production
Of all these fruits is no longer an
experiment in this state and when
to their culture can be added ir-
rigation water when needed, an
abundant yield is annually assured.
