Agricultural college experts are urg.
ing the farmers of North Dakota to
thoroughly work their land this spring.
The dry season last year taught a great
lesson in soil cultivation. The land that
had been we'll cultivated produced a
crop that was nearly up to the average
while land worked in the old fashioned
hurried way did not produce enough to
pay for working it. If every farmer in
Cavalier county would follow the advice
OF the Agricultural college experts and
drag his land we'll before seeding and
again after seeding and still again after
the grain has come up the crop in this
country would amount to many thous-
md dollars morss than it would other.

that wheat dropped at Minneapolis SIN

10y the surplus from Canada as soon as
the reciprocity agreement is adopted"
Wheat went down nearly 5 cents during
tho week. Taft gets the blame. In 1910
wheat went down 6 cents in one week.
in 1909 it went down 81 cents in one
week. But who heard any one say it
was because of Taft or reciprocity with
Canada.

If North Dakota Ignite coal IAN be
successfully treated through a process
of briquetting it will mean that the fuel
problem which is quite a serious one,
especially in sections of the northwest
remote from the mines, will no longer be
a source of worry, Authorities on the
cost of machinery for manufacturing
the briquettes, claim that our Ignite
after being so treated can be sold at the
mines for Sl.5O to $500 per ton.
Throughout the eastern states, accord
ing to the same authority, %briquettes can
be sold at from $500 to $500 per ton.

The season of seeding is approaching
and the farmers are preparing to till
large acreage IN the hope that the re-
turns therefrom will pay in good measure
the care and toll and expense incident
to cultivation. In order that the har-
vest may be bountiful and the argicul-
tural venture profitable in the highest
degree it is essential that the land be
well titled, that the weather be favor
able, that the rains fall in abundance
and hat sun and wind do their full
partin the balanced processes of nature.
But that is all. The agriculturist need
not worry about reciprocity. We fully
believe it Is going into effect, that it
should do so and we are as certaen as
mortals may be of anything under the
sun that the operation Of the reciprocity
agreement with Canada will no more
affect ~unfavorably the financial returns
from crops sown than 1t can the yield
from North Dakota's fertile acres. Those
who argue to the contrary are trying to
perpetuate the milk-sop inducement to
vote the maintenance of the high pro-
~tective tariff on manufactured goods
that has for years worked against their
interests

Twenty four hours. easy" was the
instant reply. This is under war
conditions, remember, which means
that everything gives way to the

handle men and war material of all

horses and men to cannon and rations,

EARLY Railroad EIIera.

When the first passenger railroad
AveI built was opened In England In
1928 the train travelled from one end
Of the line TO the other. d distance of
twelve miles, In two hours. And Wood.
one of the best known writer's on the
subject of railroads at that day, wrote
as follows:
Nothing can do more harm to the
adoption OF railways than the promul-
cation of such nonsense as that we
shall see locomotives travelling at the
rate of twelve miles an hour"
Today. with locomotives travelling at
the rate of seventy-hve miles an hour.
one can look at Woods warning with
4 feeling of amusement. In 1929
locomotive was introduced in this coun-
Try. and In the following year Peter
Cooper experimental with locomotive
on the B. and o. railroad. The hues

a -four barrel. Cooper related with
considerable satisfaction how on the

Bio Poker Stakes.

Many stories Of big poker games
among the western cattlemen in the
early days have been told. but this
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is really true Two
well known cattlemen of southwestern
Kansas. one of whom is now q promI-
nent business man In Kansas City,
started to move their herds TO the
pastures of Wyoming. Each herd con-
talned more than thousand bead of
cattle. When they came to the cross
Ing Of the Arkansas river near Coo
lidge they found a food on. They
were unable to cross for two or three
days. To while away the time the
two men engaged In a poker game.
When the flood finally subsided so
that the cattle could proceed one of
the cattlemen said to his son, who
was helping to drive. Just turn my
herd over to our neighbor and we will
so back home" He had bet and lost
not only all the money he had. but all
of the herd of cattle.-kansas City
