These reports will be accompanied by
the very valuable federal soil maps of
the county in colors. This map based
on the work of the field parties, will
show soil type and approximate land
values on all areas as small as ten
acres. Altogether the county is very
fortunate in securing this survey as 1t
should prove of great value in estab-
fishing more scientific methods OF
farming. Soil types will be analyzed
and mapped; the relation of the given
soil to the proper crops for which 1t is
adapted will be worked out; accurate
methods of crop treatment will then be
available both through the agriculture
lists on the survey and the entire agri-
cultural chemical and botanical depart
ment Of the college who are working
in close relation: lastly the relation of
the soil and crop to the supply Of
ground water will be studied.

Of native and cultivated plants and
their adaptability to North Dakota

Mr.. Hard, who last winter presented
the advantages of the survey to the
citizens Of Valley City, will spend
more than half of the summer In
Barnes county working out geological

TO ASK MERCHANTS
TO CLOSE STORES
AVIATION COMMITTEE OF u. c. r.
CONVENTION MAY ASK LOCAL
MERCHANTS TO CLOSE STORES
ON AFTERNOON or GREAT
FLIGHT IN CLOUDS.

The members of the aviation COM
mittee Of the United Commercial trav-
elers convention, to be held In this
city June 8, and 10 may conclude
to ask the local merchants to close
their store on the afternoon of Friday,
June 9. during the great and daring
flights Of Lucky Bob" st. Henry, the
North Dakota aviator AS it has been
stated that Glenn Curtiss himself may
be In Fargo to make one of these aer-
ial tests, the committee feels that it
would be the proper thing for the
stores to close and allow everyone the
privilege of attending the great meet.
Several members Of the committee
have talked with the editor of The
Forum travellers page, and their argu-
ments in favor of the stores closing
on the day Of the aerial fights have
all been logical and we'll founded. 1t
has been argued that the merchants
could gain nothing by keeping open
on that afternoon, as there would be
no one to patronize the stores, as ev-
erybody in the city will be at the state
fair grounds where the meet Is to be
held.
This feature of the convention was
brought to Fargo especially to re-
munerate the merchants for the kind
ness and generosity to the u. C. T.
boys by bringing in the country peo-
pie from the surrounding country who
would in turn probably patronize the
local stores and shops. 1t Is felt by
the committee that the merchants
would make more in the long run by
closing Friday afternoon than to re-
main open
Some of the merchants have al
ready given me their word to close,
said John Bathrick chairman Of the
aviation committee, to the travellers
page editor last night. "They have
fallen right in with the idea and agree
that it is the thing to do. One man
told me he intended to close anyway. |
even before I had spoken to him, in |
order that his clerks would not be de-
prived of seeing the great flights that
afternoon. If all the merchants would |
feel the same way about it, the ar |
rangements of the committee would be |
complete, and we could ask for moth |
ing more. Everybody has been so
nice anyway that the committee can
not half thank the merchants for their
generosity"
