DEV|NE RAISES SOME
fine WINTER RYE
Forty Acres on Sandy Towner Farm
VIII Yied IS or 80 Bushels Per Acre
Farmers Must Grow Winter Wheat
or Rye.

Gov. Devine showed US sample o.
winter rye, taken from field OF 40
acres growing on his Towner farm
The rye is filled to the very tip of the
long heads and bids fair to average
from 25 to 80 bushels to the acre
IN fact, it is almost ripe and will be
cut next week.
This rye was sown on sandy land
Oct. 10, last fall, though MIR. Devine
should have sown in from Sept. Is to
90, as experiments have shown is the
best time. This rye got a good start
last fall, and this spring it shot I'D
al wonderful rate, stooling out in a
splendid manner. Many seeds sent up
dozen shoots, all of which are we'll
headed. The rye will be out of the
way before most of the weeds have
a chance to go to seed, and besides,
it will be out of the way so that the
land can be plowed early, giving the
land about the same benefit as sum-
mer following would do. 49,.
II might just have we'll have had in
100 acres of this rye as 40, and had
this been the case, what would I have
cared whether wheat is good now or
not? Winter rye for me after this.
That Is what this country viii have to
come to, winter wheat or winter rye"
the governor said. ~:.

FINE WINTER WHEAT
NEAR Lone TREE
John kassens Raises 20 Acres Of
Wheat That Will Average Nearly
20 Bushels to the Acre-WhoAt

John KaSsens, an up-tO-date farmer
from Lone Tree, showed US sample
of Turkey FED. winter wheat taken
from 20 acres he has growing on his
arm near Lone Tree that is ripe. and
will average from Is to 20 bushels,
and he only regrets that he has not
more OF it. He is preparing to sow
a large field of the wheat this year
Here is how he grew that field so
successfully On the 18th of last Au-
gust, he drilled in the wheat, q bushel
to the acre go or 40 pounds would
have been better), on corn land.
With a Van Brunt drill or some other
kinds, this can be done without in
jury to the growing corn, which was
not very tall. He cut the corn later,
about a foot from the ground, and this
caught the snow, protecting the
wheat About Sept Is, the wheat
showed up well, and went through the
winter nicely. It has matured In ad-
vance of most Of the noxious weeds,
small mustard weed beating the
wheat only. The wheat has stooled
out exceptionally we'll, some seeds
sending forth dozen shoots.
Mr.. 3Kassens experimental with
some of the wheat IN land that had
no chance to catch the snow, and
this did not do very well. Farmers
would do well to try Mr.. Kassens'
experiment He will have limited

The county commissioners are now
sitting as a board of equalization and

We learn that in all probability, the
assessment for the city OF Minot, es-
pecially on real estate, will be cut
down 20 or 80 per cent, to conform {.
the assessment OF other cities of the
county and state.
The commissioners are now secur-
ing the average assessed valuation Of
lots in Kenmare and the other towns,
and they may even go to Grand Forks
and Devils Lake and secure figures.
They figure that while many improve
ments have been made in Minot, such
improvements are pretty we'll taken
care of by special assessents. and that
the taxation should not be unreason-
ably high on that account.
The board Of city commissioners
cut down the assessed valuation TO
$500, 900, reducing It about 20 per cont,
and figured that they dared not cut II
much lower, for fear there would not
be enough money to run the affairs
Of the city. Minot is under the COM
mission form OF government and for
that reason must remain on cash
basis. II the commissioners cut down
the assessed valuation to such an Ok.

Kentucky has been designated as
che home Of the mint juIep, and it's
colonies have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash of sugar and a sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly, to over
come the necessity for a large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
It transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint iulep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
Of mint last year amounted to 1853
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,320

that we always have kept in better

able to get both views of the game,
and the first thing that strikes me is
tie necessity of having a leader to
keep the entire team moving at top
speed, and one who can get the best
work out of each man The game is
a peculiar one, because the work of
each man depends SO much upon the
work of those around him.
My idea as club owner of how to
win often conflicts with the ideas I
had when a player. have a theory
now that picking the men more be-
cause of their nerve, their courage
and their dispositions than for their
playing ability is the winning system.
