DocToRINe SICK CROPS.

The Pioneer Press has the following
comment on the recent speech of Pro-
feSsor Bolley Of Fargo in st. Paul:
Prof. III. J.. Bolley of the North Da-
kota college of agriculture, in his adj
dress before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, called
attention anew to the work that he and
his assistants have been doing for the
cause of agriculture. He has spent years
in experimenting and investigating the
varying conditions of field crops. He
has proceeded on the theory that de-
creased yields are. not altogether a
matter of chemistry, of depleted fer
tility Of the soil. He has contended
that the seed and soil become diseased
and that the result is weakened plants
and poor crops.
His theory was turned to practical
account in an immensely valuable de-
gree in connection with the fight
against flax wilt. He has demonstrat-
ed that 1t is not impracticable to raise
flax year after year on the same soil.
And he and his associates at the North
Dakota institution have developed a
resistent flax that is rapidly revolu-
tionizing the growing industry.
What they have done for flax, it is ex-
pected will be done for wheat and 9TH
err field crops. 1t, Furthermore, gives to
the thoughtful hint of what science
is destined to do for agriculture of
the future

Modern agriculture has reached the
stage where II is a science-anh these
government bulletins contain the lat
est word in that science. They are
practical, and the knowledge they con-
tain has been proved by experiment.
Farmers are coming to rely more and
more upon them--for they find that
what they learn from them means
money in their pockets.
Thus it can be seen that the govern
ment bulletins are losing some OF their
dry as dust character and are becom-
ing interesting. Even though they do
not possess human interest, they pos
sess a money interest--which is large
part of human interest after ALT

GOVERNMENT BULLETINS.

The general, aIl-round, thorough
going "unreadness" of government bull
letins has long excited mirth.
Such neutrality-suspicious. the
bulletins issued at intervals on d, thou
sand and one subjects-have been re-
garded as compendiums of ponderous
nothtngness, dry enough to evaporate
q wet state or to make a dry state
parch as the desert.
Everywhere 1t was conceded that
these bulletins were suffering from
scute uninterestingness-an passed
their suffering on to their readers.
The farmer delighted to receive them
Tor they made good candle lighters.
But he never read them-except ON
such days as the weather kept him in :
doors--and even then he soon fell
asleep and his dreams were pleasant
as soon as he forgot what he read.
And SO far from following the farm adj
vice given, he looked guilty around
TO see that none of his neighbors had
observed him whenever the thought OF
doing 50 crossed his mind.
But now-thanlxs to the growing in
telligence of both bulletin makers and
farmers-all this is changed.
The demand for farmers bulletins
was unprecedented the past year.

Travellers Tales

| Henry Reichert, who is one of the
proprietors of the ST. Charles hotel,
Dickinson, recently met with queer
experience He was behind the desk
when a man wearing in addition to
his other clothing, chaps, which are
coverings made from the skin Of some
animal, approached. He was evident

many in that neck o. the woods, for
he had the usual spurs on his heels

Now, a cowboy Is not an unusual

Reichert $40 William, with the re-
mark 81 sure am much obliged to

Two minutes after he saw the
stranger approached another man in
the hotel and secured a roll of bills
from him.
A short time after, the cowboy was
seated over by the window by himself
and Mr. Reichert approached and
asked him what under the heavens
he wanted the hotel proprietor to wait
on him for. At which the man with
spurs said:
"Well, you see made a bet with
that skinny looking galoot over there
that I'd make you wait on me at the
table, and he said it could not be done
because you was too dignified to be
caught at that kind of business and

THE CENSUS RETURNS.

That Manager Pettibone Of the Pet
tibone Directory Co, has made a much
more accurate estimate OF the number
of people in Fargo than the young men
pressed into service at the last min
ute for the federal census-seems gem
orally conceded.
Mr. Pettibone has been enumerating
Fargoans for more than a score of
years. He is conservative. He cam
not afford to pad the figures at one
time-because 1t would react the next
His estimate or the population of
Marshalltown, Ia, taken about the
same time as the federal census, differ
ed only ninety-two from the official
returns. His estimate of the people
in Cedar Rapids, ninety days from the
federal census, showed a difference of
only 100.
In both Cedar Rapids and Marshall
town he aided the census supervisors
to secure good enumerators-as he
stood willing to do in Fargo-had he
been given the opportunity.
In view of his record for conserva-
tive work in Fargo all the time that
he has done the work here and his ex-
cellent record in other places it seems
safe to assume that he has been fairly
accurate in his Fargo count this time.
His estimate of 1862 people for Far
go. certainly, seems more reasonable to
Fargoans than the federal report of
4,3S1--especially when the latter was
hastily secured by young men who
made no pretentions to being exper-
fenced enumerators.
The fault is not particularly with the
enumerators. The government doesn't
pay sufficient remuneration to induce
experienced men to engage in the work

Bismarck Tribune: The presence of
Senator McCumber and Congress man
Gronna in the city at the time of the
assembling of the legislators is due,
not to any fear that the republican
members will not obey the will of the
people as expressed at the primary
election for choice OF candidates for
senator, but to sense OF the courtesy
due from the republican candidates to
be elected to the legislators who will
carry out the will OF the people in a
formal senatorial election Both SEN
ator McCumber and MIR. Gronna will be
busy with their duties at washington
upon the reassembling Of congress. and
both will probably return to washing
ton as soon as the formal republican
caucus has been held. Mr.. McCumber
will be elected by the legislature for
the six-year term beginning March 4
next, and Mr.. Gronna for the balance
OF the term that would have been filled
by the late M. N. Johnson. The legis-
lature is required by federal statute to
ballot for United States senators on
Jan. IL, but in the case OF a vacancy
the legislature could probably ballot on

be agreed upon. 1t seems likely, how
ever, that both formal elections will be
l9leld on the same day. Mr.. Gronna's
term will begin at once, il he so de-
sires, which would create a vacancy
IN the congressional delegation that
would have to be filled by appointment.
lie may be, however that Mr.. Gronna
VIII not qualify as senator until the
close of his term as congressman. un-
less some party EFFICIENCY should arise
to make his qualification at an earlier
date eNpedient. Until he qualified. the
second senatorship will be held by w.
p. Purcell, the democratic senator, who
holds by appointment from the COVER
nor until his successor is elected and
qualified. The senatorial elections win
be formal, dignified and without incl
dent. There was enough strenuosity
IN the primary election to compensate
for any lack of it in the formal cleo
ton By the Legislature. And, the SEN
atorlal elections being purely formal
ratitications of the choice OF the repub-
lican voters. there will be the more
time for the work of legislation.

THE RoLLo STATUE.

The Norwegians of Fargo are elated
over their success in securing the Rollo
statue for Fargo. They have a right
TO be. 1t is a big honor and will mean
q great deal toward making Fargo the
center of interest to the Norwegians Of
the United States.
One thousand years ago a distin-
guished Norwegian led the bold yik-
ings into France. They conquered
everything in their path and took pos
session of the section of the country
now known as Normandy. To celebrate
the millennial anniversary of this
event, the Norman French decided to
present the Norsemen OF America with
a statue Of Rollo the Northman.
OF the many northwestern cities
seeking the honor, Fargo was the for
tunate one. The statue will be here
some time next summer. In looking
around for a proper site the Norwe-
CLANS very properly decided that the
new park In Oak Grove-just purchas-
ed by the commission-would be an
ideal location.
1t is understood they would feel it a
great honor to have the park named
after the great hero the statue win
commemorate The Forum believes
this would be nice compliment for
Fargo to pay to the sturdy people who
have done 80 much for the development
OF Fargo and North Dakota.
