growing winter wheat. and Mr.. Waldron
advised that each farmer experiment
with a small field. He advised sowing
from first to tenth Of September. The
grain will then get good start in the
fall. The cool weather is what sends
the roots deep into the ground and that
is what wheat needs. Winter wheat
gets an early stalt in the spring and is
matured sooner than the spring sowing,
hence it is quite likely 10 be out of the
way of dry weather.
Supt. Waldron next took up alfalfa
growing. Alfalfa belongs to the clover
family and is very profitable cop on
any ground where it can be grown. In
this country it was question of getting
a variety hardy enough to stand the
winter and he thought the Grimm
alfalfa would do this. Experiments at
Dickinson indicate that alfalfa will do
we'll in this country and if it will. said
Mr.. Waldron, it means great deal of
wealth to the farmers. The roots 60
down very deep and the plant takes
nutriment from the soil that no other
plant gets, and at the same time en-
riches the land. The wheat makes your
soil poorer. Mr.. Waldron spoke of the
necessity of incubation Of the soil where
the crop had not been grown. This was
very easy matter, however. The
alfalfa is a tender crop the first year
and he advised sowing Oh corn, potato
or summer fallow land. having the soil
absolutely free from weeds. These
things he laid special stress upon. lat.
incubation of upland soil. End. Clean
ground. as alfalfa cannot fight weeds
the first year. 1t will the second. 3rd.
On land where moisture has been stored.
,, Corn and potato crops tend 10 do this.
Alfalf will reach for its own moisture
after the first year. Mr.. Waldron also
said that care must be exercised in get
ting seed. He stated that there was
not more than 3, 600 to 4, 600 acres of
Grimm alfalfa in the u. S. and conse-
quently the seed was hard to get and the
man who could successfully raise this
crop would probably realize 500 per acre
for the seed alone. It requires about
five pounds of seed to the acre. Just
now Minnesota is giving Grimm alfalfa
much attention and soil experts predict
that it is destined to be the great money
making crop within few years. The
same will likely be true in North Da.
kota. and If we can successfully grow
alfalfa our land at once takes great
advance in price.

KNIFE RIVER AND SOUTH

KNIFE RIVER AND SOUTH
81 A great deal is being published in
papers in the state with regard to rail-
road work in prospect for the coming
season, most of which is purely sur
mise. or born Of the desire to see the
work accomplished.
This is more likely true of the pro-
posed extension from Edgeley to the
Cannon Ball than Of some of the other
prophesies. That this Edgeley branch
is project that will be carried out at
no very distant day no one questions,
but it is the belief that before work on
this line is undertaken, which contem-
plates the building of an expensive
bridge over the Missouri. there will be
more doing on the lines west of the
river.
. In the first place the company has
many thousands tied up in the GRADE
work on the Missouri river lines which
are not productive. We refer to the
line from Aandan north to Stanton.
which is iponed as far as Sanger, and
the line south from Cannon Ball through
Fl. Yates to the state line. While moth
ing definite has been given out, and
perhaps for the reason that no plans
have as yet been laid out, il is undoubt-
edly true that the work Of completing
these lines will be under taken before
the'Edseley branch is begun.
1t will stake more than year. work
ing with all speed possible to bridge the
Missouri, even after the material is on
the ground, and it takes time to get
material for such structure out of the
mills. The company will probably plan
to have the line south from Cannon Ball
in good working order before the bridge
is built. as it is understood the bridge
is to 60 quite distance sonth of Cannon
Ball. or near Emmonsbure.
Thdre is more reason for hurrying the
work on the north line, however. fov
already there is talk of the Milwaukee
extending north via Dickinson into the
Kniferiver country. and as the Northern
Pacific has the Knife river branch sur
veyed. and has practically secured right
of way west from Stanton it is highly
probable that one of the first moves
made by the company will be to COM
plete the line to Stanton and start the
work OF grading the Knife river branch
west through Manning, Is miles north Of
Dickinson. This will really open up q
better freight producing country than
the stripe south from Cannon Ball.
which as yet is unopened reservation
country.
A lively scramble is looked for for
domination in this country northwest in
Oliver, Mercer, Dunn and Mckenzie
counties. Besides the Northern Pacific
and the Milwaukee it is said the 500
line has well laid plans for extensions
through to Montana. A short time ago
a report was published that the Soc
officials had purchased 80, 600 acres in
Dunn county, and it is learned that the
records show the transfer of some very
large tracts.
The matter of an extension of the line
from Mott, to. Miles City is also likely; to
be taken up at a very early day. Here
too the survey has been made and The
right Of way secured, running south oi
New England and via Marmarth. 80 that
the prospects. for an activity this yeal
may BE said to be excellent.
