GOOD FLOWING

There are few occupations where

ly logical to expect good results, even
though the other operations are we'll

pletely loosening, stirring and pulvcr
izing the soil to the desired depth
Simply making the ground black by
blowing a shallow furrow, and turn
ing it over on narrow strip that is
unplowed, Can hardly be called good
blowing. The proper depth of plow-
ing will depend greatly on the char.
acter Of the soil, but it is safe prop
osition to state that, as rule il
would pay to plow North Dakota soils
deeper than they are now plowed. In
many heavier soils, there is little Op-
portunity for root growth, or the liber-

soil. Deeper blowing would certainly
increase the depth of the available
soil, make the soil capable of holding
more moisture, aerate it more COM

plant food, and certainly greatly in
crease the productive power Of the
farm, without the necessity Of buying
additi onal tracts. It is always pleas

NO CHANCE
TO LOSE
NORMAL
On the Other Hand, Board May BE
Mandamused to Do Business II They
Try to Delay the Game.

The following appeared in Monday &
; Fargo Forum: '.'
Minot may lose the state normal
, school which the last legislature de-
, cided to locate at the Magic City.
r. j. Haxby of Fargo, of the firm of
haxby & Gillespie, architects, who
designed the state normal school
building at Minot, has returned from
the Magic City, where he attended a
, meeting Of the board of trustees of
! the institution.
An injunction has hcen granted
against the normal board to prevent
it from locating the institution upon
the site selected by the board. Such
action has made the school board
, feel more than unkind toward the
residents of the Magic City.
At the meeting of the board it was
' the sentiment of the body to refer the
! matter back to the state legislature.
The disposition of the members OF
| the board was to have the school re
moved from Minot and SEMI it t.
some other city.
From the present outlook it is pos
J sible that the school will not be 10,
| Gated for several years. The matte
may be held up until after the time
of the next legislat,\ session.
! The board is now Consulting lega
ADVICE to see if the 'uation and con
struction Of the building can bio de
layed and will probably hold the mat
ter if possible.
[; Minot has had it's chance at secul
ing the location of TIC school. Sucl
action as fighting for the Location o
the buildings in the city will not b
tolerated by the board, which has de
cided to take steps which may lea
to the school being located elsewhere
n If the Forum editor would JUS
pause for a moment he might realz
what lot Of foolish statements b
has made. It should be remembers
that the Minot normal school was pre-
vided for by constitutional amend
ment, and to say that the norma
board is thinking OF locating tn
school elsewhere is a statement mad
thru pure and unauthorized ignor
ance. The Forum says that such al
ton as fighting for the location O
the buildings in the city will not b
tolerated by the board. The boar
can be likened to a big boy throwing
la bone to couple Of dogs and .el
ing them to hop to it, afterwards al
tempting to chastise the dogs for DC
ing only what could naturally be eA
pected they would do It is not a
all surprising that there is an in
teresting scrap on in Minot for tn
location. The board should avail
patiently the end of the fight Whic
will not end before the action Of tn
supreme court There is no reaso
why the matter should be delaye
very long. If the board wishes t
become stubborn, there is always tn
mandamus to compel them 20 act.

ten feet away. 1 leaped after it, know

third. Now, didn't have to run ten
feet-at least not much more-and
guess Byrne was two-thirds of the
way to third when I grabbed the ball

shot low. The ball hit Devlin on the

funny part of it. The crowd was
wild and I don't think half of the
players or reporters noticed what
wonderful bit Of work it was on
Doyie's part.
The play came up this way: It
was on Forbes field at Pittsburg and
the score was close. We were lead
ing by one run in the seventh In
ming, with Matty pitching great ball,
and it looked as if we were winning
and probably would win by even a
larger score, as We were hitting hard.
In the last of the seventh, however,

on the bases, reached first on an er-

him at bat, cut into the first ball
