back BY natural processes that which
had been taken in over-abundance by
years of constant wheat growing.
Then the problem arose as to who
could do this. Could the farmer who
measured his fields in hundreds Of
acres, change the conditions into
which he had grown 60 that he could
plan in ten acre lots and count his
profits from pigs and calves rather
than elevator receipts? Many Of
them did. Others sought the newer
fields Of the farther west" and used
their experiences here to reap greater
fortunes in growing wheat there. 9th
ers came from the older states where
the turning point had been passed
years ago and by their experience are
building upon the wheat fields the
richest diversified farming region in
che world. We want them. We need
them. And when they come, let then:
realize that those who are here are
boosters, not pessimists. Wheth-
er he is landlord or tenant. the
man who comes from the older states
knows how to diversity else he would
not have invested his money or been
sent out to injure and destroy the
value of the investment as tenant.
AS to the relative merits Of grow
ing corn and clover, 1t seems to be
the consensus of opinion Of good
farmers that those who use either

who Use both In series of rotation

ACTION OF The HARRIIAx LINES

The decision Of the Hartman

mountaineering the system marks the
first break in the general policy of
the railroads to wait more definite
outlining Of the governments atti-
tude. The reasons which impelled
the lines mentioned to go ahead re-

not apply to other system, observes
Judge Lovett, who significantly adds
that II their hope Of a change for the
better soon IL not realized the roads
will discontinue the plan Of expan-
sion.
The management, then, is simply
taking a chance, being impelled to
adopt that course by the pressing
need OF its territory for better tramc
facilities. The country served by the

CORN AND CLOVER CONTROVERSY

The Times is never inclined to quar-
rel and can therefore tender its good
oA1ces in controversy over farm
ing, even when it is not otherwise
concerned, with consistency. We re-
greet that in newspaper discussion
there should have crept in an ele-
ment of personality which reflects
upon the ability Of men who have
just come among us. We need the
farmers from Iowa, Indiana, Illinois
and other states. We need to have
them feel that they will find a well
come in the Red river valley and
especially in the vicinity of Grand
Forks that is so sincere that it will
become one Of the reasons why they
urge their neighbors back east" to
come to North Dakota. 1t should not
be forgotten that many of the men
who now count their wealth in five
or six figures, cane to North Dako-
ia dollarless, and were only too glad
to find a second hand or discarded
stove upon which to cook their frugal
meals, and that winters were spent in
shacks through which the snow drift
ed and the winds blew. They pros
pered and it is the proud boast of
North Dakota that her golden oppor-
tunities were such that these men in
few years amassed fortunes which
even the widest dreams never touch
ed.
The wheat farmer was the product
Of his environment Wheat in vast
acreage afforded him the key to wealth
and he used it. The fertility of the
soil was such that nature did the pro-
ducing and so long as the primary
elements of wheat remained in SUI
perabundance in the soil, the profits
were maintained. But a change
came. Gradually the nitrogen in its
native form was taken from the soil
and then wheat growing became less
profitable. The soil was not destroy

restored to health and while under

THE RIGHTS OF 4 KING.

When Bobbie Burns, of blessed
memory. wrote THE rank is but the
guinea's stamp, mans man, for a
that" he pleaded the cause Of the
commoner. When King Edward plain
lively said, But remember, after all,
the king is at least as good as the
beggar," he called attention to truth
that is more often overlooked than
that which the Scottish poet sought
to maintain.
All of which finds its point in the
sentence that has just been imposed
on one Myths for circulating libel
against King George of England, al
leging that, while he was yet the
Prince of Wales. he had contracted a
morganatic marriage with the daugh-
ter of an English admiral in 1890.
The court records show that the
king failed to appear, because of the
advice Of the law officers that II
would be unconstitutional for him to
do so. The father Of the woman with
whom it is alleged that the king con-
tracted a morganatic marriage gave
testimony of conclusive nature,
showing that the king had never seen
his living daughter until 1898, and
that the other daughter had died in
1895. without ever having seen him.
The living daughter testified that she
had seen King George when she was
seven years of age, and again In 1898,
but did not speak to him. Her first
visit to Malta, when she saw him
again, was five months after King
George and Queen Mary were mar
ried. Other evidence of like nature
was adduced to prove the absolute
lack of foundation for the entire sto-
