ASKS MRS. TAFT'S SIGNATURE
North Dakota Rancher Would Make
Sure His Title Is GOOd

Washington, May "a home-
steader in North Dakota, who
recently received a government
patent to his entry, fears that his
title to the land may be affected
because the patent was not signed
by the wife of the president. In
a letter to Commissioner bennett,
of the general land office, the
homesteader says:
Il don't know whether it is the
law of the United States or not,
but in North Dakota deed trans
ferring property must be signed
by the wife as we'll as the husband.
My patent is signed by President
Taft, and therefore send it to
you for his wife's signature"
Commissioner bennett wrote to
the homesteader that he need not
worry about his title, as Mr.. Taft's
name to the patent was all that the
law required.

Buying Seed Grain

Pierre. May 3.-Perkins and
Harding counties appear to be the
only ones. in the state which are
making a general application of
the "seed grain law of last winter.
On account of the dry weather of
last season many of the settlers in
those counties came through the
year in poor shape financially, and
the counties are now purchasing
seed grain and loaning it to such
farmers who make the proper
application and showing to entitle
them to such relief.

THE SUB-SOIlER
Address by the Hon. Frank Gardner
Of Sturgis, South Dakota, to the
South Dakota Conservation
Congress at Pierre

One lesson nature presents every
year and insists on its being learned
is that since moisture is necessary for
the growth of plants, 1t is possible
for the farmer by right cultural
methods. to conserve q sufficient
moisture supply for the ordinary
summer crop even without the sum-
mer shower. In many parts of the
country the past season, like the two
proceeding years, there was a do6-
cheney in rain fall and many farmers
placed the responsibility for poor
crops upon Providence, not noticing
that the same Providence dealt lavish
ly with the neighbor across the way
The Observing neighbor had learned
years ago that soil well filled with
humus, plowed deep, and thoroughly
and continuously cultivated would
retain moisture through a long dry
season and produce crop.
The proper preparation of the seed
bed is the fundamental step In all
successful farming. European farm
ers have recognized the important
part 1t plays In the production Of
their lands; hence, have become re-.
nowned tor their excellent syste m
and the consequent heavy yields.
Some parts OF America have adopted
the European system of more thor
ough cultivation, but it has not be-
come general In many sections Of tlis
country.
The experiment stations OF the
several states, the National depart
ment Of agriculture and the expert
ence Of the successful farmers of all
countries have established the fact
that deeply broken and we'll pulver-
lied seed beds give best results. The
question might be raised IS to what
constit utes deep preparation. 1t can
be briefly answered BY saying that
nothing less than eight inches could
be called deep plowing, and the depths
between this and eighteen inches may
be called real deep breaking. The
depths to 60 In each instance can be
governed only by circumstances and
by the exercise of good judgement On
the part of the farmer.
In the past few years much has
been said and written about the con-
servation Of moisture, and oil Of ouE
recognized authority op this question

Indians Make Liquor

Charley Jones, Charley Medicine
Horn and James Blaine, Yankton
Sioux Indians, we're recently arrest
ed on the charge of manufacturing
liquor from what is known as the
Mescal bean, and drinking the
liquor thus manufactured. The
beans are a produce of Mexico and
when prepared properly the liquor
manufactured from them causes
the one drinking it to 60 into q
trance, from which they do not
recover for several hours. The
Indians connect these beans and
the effect they produce with q
religious belief cf very peculiar
nature. These are the first arrests
ever made in the state for the
offense charged, although the use
of this liquor has caused trouble
for years on some of the Indian
reservation of Nebraska.

the READY-MAOE FARMS
State of Minnesota is the FIRST to
Adopt Land Sale Plan

St. Paul, May 3.-Minnesota is
preparing to try an entirely new
plan in the sale of unimproved
lands belonging to the state and it
is believed the experiment will be
watched with interest by other
states, having lands for sale, as
inquiries have already been made.
The house of representatives
already has passed a bill which
provides that ten separate forty
acre government subdivisions shall
be selected by a reclamation board
to be appointed by the governor
and that half of each of these and
otherwise improved so that twenty
acres shall be ready for cultivation.
The actual cost of this improve
ment is to be added to the appraised
value of the land and these farms
will then be sold on the installment
plan.
Minnesota is the first state to try
this plan, which has every assur-
ance of adoption, as no opposition
is expected in the senate and
Governor Eberhart is certain to
sign the bill.

The Gift Of Forgetting

A few years ago-the fad has
now run its course-various PRO
fessors" went touring the country,
teaching people how to remember.
But the true benefactors are those
who can teach us how to forget.
+ To forget our sorrows, letting
them slip away from us as SHOWS in
the spring slide down the mountain
side leaving it free for new gar
lands of flowers.
To forget old wrongs. The men
who wronged us have done their
worst. 1t is over. But every time
we recall an injury and, recalling
feel embittered, we wrong our.
selves quite as truly. We do we'll,
then, at once to shake ourselves
free from all thronging memories
of injuries done US. For they
strangle our souls.
To forget our humiliations.
These are the hardest of all tc
forget. These are the memories
that cling to us most burr-like.
Let US brush them away. Let the
retreating days wash them out ot
our souls as waves bear away
refuse.
To forget old regrets. Many .
brother squanders in vainly re-
GREETING the energy that, other.
wise directed, might carry hin
forward in long swinging stride!
to glorious new fortunes. Pres
onward. Have done with ghost
dances.
There is no truer truth than this
A mans success, . mans strength
. mans gladness abides not 81
much in the things he remember,
as in the things he forgets. :
