The fact that such a stable organ

is behind the venture Is ample assur-
ance that this will be the greatest cell

Dry Farming Con-
gress Big Success
Held at Dickinson Where Farming
Methods to Succeed in Dry Ter
ritorY Were Explained

The National Dry Farming
Congress held it's first session in
this state at Dickinson last week.
Men qualified in every branch of
the science of farming we're present
and impaired their knowledge to
to the many present -
Proper preparation Of soil was
urged, especial stress being made
on necessity for doing the work
right. An experience was cited
where proper methods in cultivat :
ing oats produced a yield Of $50
bushels of acre in comparison
with 60 bushels per acre in an
adjacent field, where ordinary
methods of cultivation were
practiced.
Good seed was another point
discussed and the necessity of
same.

Very Excellent Coal
Made From Ignite
Process Under Development 1t he.
bron North Dakota ExpsS all
the Moisture

Some time ago it was thought
that briquetting plant would be
opened near Washburn and it may
be a fact yet if the ones already
working prove successful. There
is one at Hebron and the following
is what is said about it:
Three tons of mine run ignite
as shown by tests conducted at the
state Ignite coal mining expert
mental station near this city, are
enough to make one ton Of bri-
quettes possessing the same heat
ing value that one ton Of the best
anthracite coal possesses. The
briquetting work is progressing
satisfactorily and the results gained
are most successful.
The process used in the briquet-
ing of Ignite is to dry the Ignite
drive off the gas which can be
used for heating, lighting and
power, and briquette the coke.
These briquettes furnish q fuel
that burns as steadily as anthracite.
Lignite contains from 30 to 40
per cent moisture. On drying, it
cracks, and slacks and ultimately
becomes a practically useless
powder. Undried the shipper
must pay freight on too. much
water, and the purchaser must re-
ceive too much water which
requires part Of the fuel values
Of the coal to evaporate IN burning.
Again Ignite, contains two classes
of fuel, a very light gas and a
heavier substance. like powdered
coke or charcoal.
To kindle the latter a strong
heat is required just as in kindling
a hard coal fire. As a general
thing, when Ignite is thrown on
the fire the light gases volatilize
at once and large part of them
are lost up the fue. The small
percent that does burn flashes
above the coal and fails to produce
enough heat to ignite the coke
thoroughly and rapidly.
In expelling this moisture the
station has solved one of the big
problems connected with the sue
cessfnl briquetting of Ignite.

Get Interested
In Corn Contest
Future Of This State Depends in a
Measure Upon Better and More
Diversified Farming

It is believed that corn raising,
and incidentally the feeding of
hogs and cattle, will double the
value of every acre of land in
North Dakota, and will add mil
lions to the wealth of our farmers.
This state has been known as a
wheat growing state, it would be
better for all if it were known as a
diversified farming state and that
is what is trying to be doue by
having corn contests. This is a
good corn state as we'll as wheat
but the farmers do not realize it.
The First National Bank of
Fargo has decided to give the
farmers of North Dakota cash
prizes aggregating one thousand
dollars for the best specimens of
corn raised by them during the
year 1911 on fields of five acres or
more. The state has been divided
into districts and Mclean county
is in the second, which district
will be given $24O of this amount.
Full particulars of the contest
can be had at the Washburn
State Bank.

Good Program

A Horace Greeley Memorial
program was rendered in the Con-

ming Notwithstanding the deep
snow every seat was occupied and
many were compelled to stand
during the entire evening. The
teachers deserve great credit for
their efforts in training and pre-
pairing the pupils for their
respective parts-a thorough re-
search had been made into the
life and writings Of this emminent
journalist and facts presented
which ought to stir to greater
activity and truer patriotism every
one present. A great variety of
music was excellently rendered
which added to the. interest of the
occasion. After spending about
two hours listening and learning
the audience retired feeling we'll
repaid for the efforts put forth.
