A rain would please Mr.. Mich

little dry farming, so his seed
might be covered again.
To the Editor:
The following appeared in last

Mr.. Mich, unlike the Indian
who was told that the white man
slept on feathers and ticks, as an
experiment, slept on one turkey

said the white man was a "heap-

slept on too many feathers.
Many others make the same
mistake and it is this: "A fine

it., it not what is desired, nor is
such advocated. What you want
is a granulated mulch-not a
dust mulch.
I'm the first place a dust mulch

B|CKFORD PLEADS
mot GUILTY"
Demmurrers Are Overruled--
Time for Trial Has Not
Yet Been Set

Fargo, N. D. May 22-Judge
Engerud has just returned home
from Bismarck, where he assist
ed the state in the prosecution of
the case against G. L. Bickford,
the former state treasurer who
is charged with embezzlement of
the funds of the state.
Three informations were filed
against Bickford, all relating to
the same offenses. The first in
formation charged him with
embezzlement Of $50, 438, II on
Jan. 3, 1911. This was in all three
counts each charging him with
the same offense in different
form and all in reference to the
general shortage.
The second information
charged him with the embezzl-
ement of $4,000 deposited py
the State Farmers Mutual Hail
Insurance Co., of Waseka,
Minn., and deposited as a securi-
ty. This offense is charged with
having occurred Aug. 16, 1910.
The third Indictment charged
him with making false entries
on the books of the office with
respect to a state auditors draft
for Sis, 220, IS drawn on Barnes
county, which he entered and
charged on the books as a live
item, but which had previously
been paid. =.
The attorneys for the accused
treasurer filed motions on all
three cases on the grounds that
there had been no preliminary
examination on the charges.
These motions were all overruled.
Bickford's attorneys also filed
a demurrer to each information
on the ground that the informa-
tions did not state sufficient facts
to make a trial. They also
attacked each information on
the ground that it charged three
distinct offenses. The demur-
rers were also overruled.
Bickford then pleaded not
guilty. His trial has not been set.

and better maintained than right
here. If Mr.. Mich had subsur-
face packed his land and got a
granulated mulch from the size
of a pin head to the size Of a
small marble he would not be
troubled much by the blowing
of the soil.
Scientific soil culture is like
running a gasoline engine the
fine points must be studied and
common sense must be used. A
case in point: Immediately after
the only good rain we had in 1910
which l think was on May 26th
Il narrowed over a hundred
and fifty acre field of wheat l
had-the effect was to kill many
of the sprouting weeds and con-
serve the moisture that fell, and
the result in about week was a
better stand of wheat that was
growing rapidly. Now in about
ten days after this narrowing
(no more moisture coming in the
meantime) one of my neighbors
seeing the good result of my
narrowing determined to harrow
his wheat.
I happened to be there when
he had about IS acres narrowed
I stopped him and explained to
him that he was running his
wheat, that the moisture that
fell IL days before, not being
conserved by immediate harrow
ing, had practically all evaporat-
ed and that by narrowing now
when there was no moisture with
in two inches Of the surface he
was simply exposing the roots of
his wheat to the merciless rays
of the sun, that they could get
nothing to catch on to-when
once dug up and that they would
die quickly. My nelghbor quit
narrowing and in four days the
IS acres narrowed was as bare as
the road. Now if this neighbor
had not seen the difference
between doing a thing at the
proper and the improper time it
would be hard to convince him
of the great benefits of harrow
ing growing field.
Study the fine points OF the
game and use that part of your
head above your eyes.
Very truly yours,
J. S. Murphy.
N. B.-Never harrow to des-
troy weeds before 9:3O a. m. nor
after 4:3O p. m., and never at
any time unless the sun is Shin
ing brightly.

Grams Talks of
Grading Contract

R. A. Grams, who with the
Schultz brothers is working on a
railroad grading contract on a
branch being built out Of Swift
Current, Sask., returned Mon
day from the scene of the grad
inc after having spent about two
weeks there, and will remain in
the city with his family for
about ten days or more. In
talking with The Tribune, Mr..
Grams informed us that when he
left Swift Current there were
23 men and 81 head of horses
employed at his camp, and
everything was getting along
nicely with them. He says the
work Of grading the ten miles
of track which the contract calls
for will take the crew till it
freezes up next fall, but that he
may later decide to sub-let a part
.of the grading to. someone else.
