Many farmers were taught by experience
that no arbitrary rule can be applied to
a larfe portion of our Western North
Dakota. Our soils differ sometimes on
100 acres farms, to such an extent that
different practices must be used for the
various soils. It is necessary to study

Capital and co-opera-
tion in Agriculture
BY Frank L. Mcvey, Ph. D., IL. D.,
President Of the University Of
North Dakota

1t is not expected by any one in this
audience, much less by myself, that
shall say anything about dry farming
and the methods to be followed in Sc
curing better crop results in territory
where that kind of farming is desirable.
This problem is left for the experts to
deal with. But it is expected that
shall say something that touches the
problems involved in the larger field of
what we call agriculture and something
that relates to the social organization
in it's connection with agriculture.
1t may be said of what am about to
say that it does not involve an immedi-
ate problem. that it does not touch the
conditions of today but rather involves
things that may take place in the
course of twenty-five years. A quarter
of a century, however, in the history of
a nation is like an hour in the lite of
an individual, and from small BEGIN
nings and comparatively small incidents
large things come to pass. 1t is needed
but to refer to the battle of Marathon in
48O 3. C. to find an illustration of the
meaning of what has just been said.
when in a few brief hours the civiliza-
tion of the world for the next thousand
years was determined. So too in the
battle of Tours in 432 A. D., when the
victory was won there was no longer
any doubt that Europe would be saved to
the christian civilization. The touch
ing of ship ut jamestown in 1919 was
the beginning of slave labor in Amer
ica. The enclosures of land in Eng
land wiped out the yeomanry class who
had fought and bled on England's bat
tle6elds. The Poor Laws, begun back
in the sixteenth century as means of
alleviatine suffering, laid monetary
and social burden upon that country
which it has never been able to throw
off. In the famous Dartmouth College
case the legal procedure left trail of
precedent behind it against which we
still struggle more or less in vain.
m the utilization of the phrase leap
italism and cooperation in agriculture
am persuaded that it is the expression
of real problem which will have much
to do with the future OF America. It is
not my intention, nor is it necessary.
that the words be used in critical ..or
derogatory sense. but it is rather a
phrase fitted TO describe the entrance of
capital into agriculture. Looked at from
this point Of view. capitalism is the

your privilege to give the best that is
in you.
What has. been. done during the past
year. A very successful meeting was
held in Mandan, where the Morton
county organization was formed and
perfected. We elected a preside and
vice president in the various cities and
settlements throughout the county and
many Farmers Clubs vera started, all
the result of the Congress held here in
February.
The One Hundred Dollar an Acre Club
has been formed also. The purpose of
this club is to organize and establish
demonstration farms throughout the
state. The bankers, merchants and
business men in the Twin Cities discov-
cred that their prosperity depended to
large extent on the prosperity of the
farmers of North Dakota. They deter
mined, from selfish motives, to help
produce this prosperity each year and
have agreed to furnish as much money
for the establishing of these demonstra-
tion farms as North Dakota bankers and
business men would raise. This work
is now under way. Another organi-
zation is the Missouri Slope Develop
ment League duly incorporated and or
ganized. The purpose of this organi-
zation is to bring the advantages of
Western Dakota to the notice of the
outside world. You must admit that
we have much to do and great field.
W. need the assistance of every farmer
this coming year to produce something
better than ever before and better than
anywhere else in the United States OF
Canada. We have the soil and the eli
mate and good rainfall in the ground
to start with. Let us all try. Con-
serve the moisture. = A little more pluck
and push and we will all be surprised
what we will have to show at the land
shows next fall. We are preparing an
exhibit at present for the St. Paul Land
Show. December 18th to 23rd. For this
exhibit we will need more financial as
sistance. the total cost is about 81. 200.
The Bismarck show has opened our
own eyes and the eyes of thousands of
visitors who came as sceptics and de.
parted convinced of the wonderful re-
sources of our country.
Mr.. johnson, the worthy mayor of
Dickinson, has bid US welcome. Let us
make ourselves at home. l know the
lessons we will learn at these meetings
will be invaluable to US and repay us
manifold for the time and expense in
CURED in coming here. May we all
leave these meetings filed with the de-
sire to do and to dare and produce the
largest crop ever raised in North Da-
kota. LET US have faith in our land
and hold fast to what we have. ="
I thank YOU.

At ten O'Clock Thursday morning, the
second State Dry Farming Conrgess was
called 10 order in the armory with some
three hundred in attendance at the first
session.
The fact that many farmers still have
fax to harvest kept good many people
at home, the weather being SO mild that
threshing o perations were resumed the
first Of the week.
The grain and vegetable exhibits.
while not large, were very interesting.
The fruit and dairy displays were much
larger than year age. Awards had not
been made at the time of closing these
forms Friday noon. Exhibits of seeds,
alfalfa, clover, cherries, plums and
other articles from the Dickinson ex-
pertinent station were especially inter-

lence in order to store up in the soil as
much of the rain that falls after harvest
as possible. The most effective way to
accomplish this is to follow the binder
with disc, shocking the grain on the
disced ground. This not only destroys
the weeds that otherwise would soon sap
the ground Of moisture. but creates
dust mulch that prevents evaporation as
we'll. 1t also pulverizes the surface
insuring, when the furrow is turned, a
compact seed bed for the next crop.
The moisture rising from the lower
depths will collect under the dust
mulch, affording sufficient moisture to
turn deep furrow with comparative
ease. Moreover, the ground should be
sufficiently moist. when thus treated, to
do a good job of plowing. As matter
of fact, ground should never be plowed
when bone dry, if good results are to be
expected. 1t may be necessary 10 drag
the disced ground before it is plowed,
and even after it is plowed, should

Very few farmers. suspect. will 60
to all this extra trouble to conserve
moisture. and come to think of it, there
is no law that compels them to do so.
However, shall be among the first to
welcome an easier solution of this
moisture problem.
CORN AND ALFALFA.
A good way to get rid of weeds is to
put generous portion of the farm in
alfalfa and in corn. Both are splendid
weed killers and necessitate the keeping
of live stock. The live stock will convert
the coarse grains and forage into
money and. manure. The manure will
so enrich the soil that less rain will be
needed, and the destruction of weeds
will practically double the amount of
moisture that will be available for the
grain thus permitted to grown on clean
ground. The corn and alfalfa will re-
quire but little attention when the farm
work is heaviest, and by thus lessening
the area seeded to small grain. it will
give the farmer time to cultivate the
smaller acreage that much more
thoroughly. In other words. if one third
of the farm is seeded to corn and alfalfa
and the other two-thirds is given the
labor the whole farm now gets. the crops
will be larger, surer, and more profit
able.

Western NO. DAKOTA
Excerpt from Address by President
j.. II. Worst Of Agricultural
College

You have in Western North Dako ia a
vast area of fertile soil. through its
fertility has its limitations. This is
true of all agricultural regions. All
soils are subject both to disease and
exhaustion, but each has its remedy.
Fungus diseases yield readily to crop
rotation and seed sanitation, while
liberal applications of barnyard manure
and good tillage will preserve its fer
tility. No farmer is worthy the name
who does not aim to give back to the
soil an equivalent of what the crops
take from it., or who does not give his
fields thorough cultivation.
Moreover, the larger and surer profits
always realized from the formaldehyde
treatment of seed grain, from the ap.
plication of manure and from deep
plowing and thorough tillage should
commend themselves to every progress
sive farmer without persuasion or areu.
ment.
LACK OF SYSTEM.
In comparatively new country, it
requires time to perfect general and
somewhat uniform system of farm man.
asement. This lack Of system is dis.
Iressinelys apparent in every section Of
the state. Many farmers still persist
in following the single crop fallacy Of
growing wheat continuously on theiI
farms. In the long run-and not SC
very long at that-the soil becomes i'm
poverished of humus and other forms Of
plant food. II also becomes foul with
weeds and infected with fungi. When
these conditions prevail, the crops are
subjected to punishments they cannot
