There is a strong probability that
the first annual meeting of the North

will be held in Grand Forks. At the
recent meeting in Bismarck, where
the association was formed, 1t was
decided to hold the annual sessions
In January. but the place was left
open.
In North Dakota there are about
twenty electric companies as we'll as
several street car companies and gas
companies that are eligible to mem

Constitutions Meaning.

October 2 is the date that is fixed
for another airing Of the famous Ice
landic Lutheran church case. That
date was fixed last summer when the
order for q re-hearing of the case
on certain features were entered.
This action involves the entire Ice
landtc Lutheran denomination and is
a fight between the so-called liberals
and conservatives Of the church in
an effort to retain the property Of
the Thingvalle church in Pembina
county.
A portion Of the church constitu-
ton relating to the right of the ma
jority to retain possession Of the prop
erty Is in dispute at present. 1t is
claimed that the majority does not
necessarily rule, but that that por-
Ion OF the church that remains true
to the church doctrine is the one
that shall retain possession Of the
church.

The old gardener, tending his BUSH
es with a careful hand, added as this
remark was quoted that it was like a
Frenchman to drag women in, and
went on trimming his beloved blooms.
Sweetheart and wife and children
they had been to him, and he was not
an exceptional old gardener, either.
The passion for flowers, and above
all the passion for roses, has a depth
and intensity unsupported of the
mere amateur. No scientist is more
absorbed in his work than he who
experiments with roses.
In the year of grace 1900 NJ. Guile
meau. a French naturalist. wrote a
book on the natural history of the
rose, and in the course Of this volume
he remarked that there were then 100
varieties of that flower, one-third of
them single and the rest double. IL

care and still more infinite pa

lite care and still more infinite pa
thence.
A grower must be prepared to have
a thousand failures before he has the
glimmerings Of one success. Some
times when the Decentralization is
successful the resulting rose is worth
nothing because it has lost the good
qualities of both parents. Then there
comes, after perhaps years Of waiting,
the wonderful moment when the
grower sees the child Of two lovely
roses blooming lovelier than either
parent and unlike both.
1t has taken more than 100 years
of steady application on the part of
many skilled men to bring us where
We are today in regard to the rose,
and 1t Is going to take a lot more be-
fore We have the absolute perfection.
There is, for instance, that matter Of
the blue rose. A blue rose is held to
be about the hardest thing in the
f1ower-groWing world to attain.
1t is. in fact, a direct flying in the
face Of nature, and there is always
plenty of excitement in ,pitting ones
self against a great force that keeps
saying mo" all the time. Blue Is the
rarest of all colors in flowers. There
are twice as many reds and yellows
as blues and more than twice as many
whites in nature.
Moreover, it is a rule in nature that
blue, yellow. and red are never found
in the same species of flower. There
are many kinds of flowers which show
the two colors, but the three are a
quite different proposition. None are
SO rich as that. Now, there are
plenty of red and yellow roses. The
point is how are We going to get a
blue.
1t can't be done by ny chemical
process. of course. Any one rose can
easily be made blue, but there is no
known way of treating the soil in
which a bush grows so as to change
the color Of all its flowers, and even
if there we're such a way the progeny
of the roses would revert to the am
cestral type. The blue rose is to be
obtained-if it ever is attained-by
combining roses of different colors
and using the most promising as pa
rents for a eve and bluer race.
There has been a pale l%avenderish-
blue rose produced by a German grow
err. but it is not by any means a true
blue, and the grower has not explain
ed the process by which he produced
it. Nor is 1t a beautiful rose. The
flower is small and unsatisfactory in
size and shape. as we'll as color, still
it is the nearest approach to a blue
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-09-26

rose that the world has yet seen, and
that Is enough to bring plenty Of
honor to Schmidt, the grower. It
will not, however, keep other growers
from seeking a better rose. In fact,
the approximation that he has arrived
at will doubtless encourage other
searchers to fresh efforts.
Really enormous sums are invested
nowadays in roses. Some farms pro-
duce nearly $4,000 worth Of roses
annually. and when they are success
fully run they pay very good interest
on the money invested. But, of course,
1t is no business for an amateur. Es-.
pecially cross-fertilization Is nothing
for the young scientific mind to play
with.
1t takes imagination to devise. and
enormous skill to carry out, a plan
for producing. new rose. When you
have nine thousand products of COM
bined nature and human industries,
it is not an easy thing to make q
place for a new one, but though rose
growing as a business is difficult 1t Is
about as interesting as any form Of
activity that could be imagined, given
at first, of course, a love Of flowers,
for no flower responds as rapidly.
Then there is the perpetual surprise
the rose gives the grower. He takes
a white rose and a yellow rose, hop
ing to get offspring showing certain
characteristics, and there is born an
ugly, understood, single rose, not
worth anything. Again he crosses
two excellent varieties and the result
is a thing of beauty which has no
power to reproduce itself. There was
no more reason for the result in the
n case than in the other. The only
thing to do is to keep everlastingly
at it until you get what you want by
some means you don't yourself UNDER
stand.
But mo- a grower eve tires of the
tricky. charming object of his devo-
ton. The ose is always the most
entertaining of companions. Who
v first referred TO the flower as
the naughty queen" lacked imagina-
tion. Some kinds of roses will grow
anywhere on the slightest p%rovocation.
Given a bit of encouragement, the
smallest and shabbiest yard can have
its bush, and even wild roses show
as great a desire to aid in adorning
the earth that they have developed
all by themselves nearly a thousand
different species. The rose, in spite
of her beauty, is the least snobbish
flower that grows. the best friend of
the poor man as we'll as the chicteSt
treasure Of the rich.

NEW STATE CLUB HAS BEEN LAUNCHED
AND WILL BOOST 500 AN ACRE IDEA
Prominent Men Are Behind Movement Which Means Mich IN
the state-Propose to Back the Proposition Of Placing
County Agricultural Advisers in North Dakota

A statewide $500 an Acre" move
ment was launched at a meeting held
IN Fargo and the state organization
= Will pattern its work largely after the
plan of the Barnes County 500 an
Acre Club" organized some time ago
There should be more systematic
rotation Of crops and a diversity of
the product; better conservation of
moisture; deeper ploYing in many
cases and the preparation of better
seed beds than has been the rule
heretofore.
These conditions were recognized
by the meeting held in Fargo, when
the subject was fully discussed, and
after a long conference it was decided
to organize the North Dakota One
Hundred Dollar an Acre association
and form a corporation to- carry out
these ideas.
! Barnes county has an organization
Of this title and good work has been
done by it. 1t is the design of the
present organization, however, to be
state wide, to adopt the Holland sys-
TEN and have an expert farm adviser
in at least every county in the state
Of North Dakota.
To Disseminate Information,
The design Of the organization is
the dissemination of information
among the farmers of the state of
North Dakota upon the subject of the
best methods as applied to agriculture
and the promotion of better and more
profitable cultivation of the soil, in
GLIDING the rotation and diversified
ton Of crops and raising Of live stock
and poultry, the manufacture of dairy
products and other like subjects per-
taining to the development Of the best
agricultural results in the state.
Fargo is designated as the head
quarters Of this corporation and
among the men who have been asked
DR. will be asked to be a portion of the
FIRST board Of directors are: j. E.
Phelan, Bowman; P. Bertelson, Ken
mare; H. G. Mccartney, Cakes; F. w.
Cathro, B%ottineau; R. G. Kittel, Cas-
SETON; r. s.. Adams, Lisbon; E. Y.

Jamestown; e. ]. Weiser, Fargo; G.
B. Mcmillan, Hannah; c. w. Kelly,
Devils Lake; G. L. Zimmerman, Man
dan; j. Austin Regan, Fessenden.
The corporation has no capital stock
and the board will be elected from the
membership. An executive commit
tee Of five are provided for in the by
laws. A publicity committee and an
advisory committee are also called

for. Prominent upon the advisory
committee will be such men as Presi-
dent Worst Of the agricultural college
and w. G. Gilbreath, commissioner Of
agriculture and labor.
Cash Already Pledged.
This organization and the move
ment which it represents is not to
continue for simply a year but for a
series of years and should be the
means Of adding many million dollars
to the product Of the state of North
Dakota annually. Already some $685.
900 or 100000 has been pledged an
nually for this work, covering a three
year period. :.
The agricultural college, expert
mental station and sub-stations and
the various demonstration farms have
all done good work as we'll as many
other agencies in the state, but this
movement is designed to get down to
the individual farmer personally and
If he desired advice the men repre-
senttng the association will cheerful
ly give it, even %analysizing the soil
of his various fields, consulting con-
corning the rotation Of crops, how to
improve his live stock, the best crops
to be produced on each section of his
farm and to council with him con-
corning how to develop the productive
soil Of every portion Of this great state
Of ours.
If he does not want the advice of
the association he does not need to
accept the same or to even ask for it,
but If he does want practical informa-
ton from an expert concerning his
farming operations 1t will be cheer
fully given.
Men Are Practical.
Practical men are behind this move
ment. Men who have the best inter-
ests Of the state at heart, as will be
noted from the foregoing partial list
Of those who have been asked to CO.
operate in the starting Of this work
will constitute the association. It is
believed that these men will meet with
encouragement from every community
and from every individual farmer In
the state.
Illinois has recently started a some-
what similar propaganda but 1t is
mainly intended to educate the masses
so that an appropriation may be OBJ
tanned from congress looking to the
inauguration of the same plan which
the enterprising citizens Of the state
of North Dakota are ready to launch
lin the immediate future.
