TIE DARLING SIRE.

There. Is to be another special meet
I ing of the city council tonight. 1t is
understood that renewed effort is to
be made to settle the site Of the filtra-
tion plant. The council should act
promptly on this matter as the years of
delay have tried the patience Of the
residents of the city-even though they
have recognized the necessity of thor
ough investigation before final action.
4 The Forum has contended-and still
believes-it would be the part of wis
dom to locate the filtration plant on
the free site offered on the Rea farm.
The chief argument in favor Of that
idea is that the intake pipe would be
at a point up stream from the ceme-
itery.
the site on the Darling farm is by far
the most acceptable. 1t is removed
from the down town district and the
location is in every respect admirable
except that the intake pipe win be
this side of the cemetery.
The filtration plant might be located
there and IL the council has not suffi-
cient funds now to extend the intake
Epipe beyond the cemetery-that could
be done later on. There is no com-
parison between the Darling site and
the proposed locations down town.
AS The Forum understands the sit
uation there is nothing in the bond
issue compelling the location of the
filtration plant inside the city limits
las some have contended. The plant
could be run out to Wild Rice-if
deemed best. The Darling site is just
on the other side Of the avenue that
marks the corporate limits.
It Is hoped the city council will be
able to reach an agreement on a site
this evening. If the Rea site is not
feasible-the council will do a wise
thing by locating the filtration sys-
tenn on the Darling site.
The council should also go emphat-
ieally on record for the operation of
the filtration system by electric power
to be transmitted from the municipal
electric plant--to be erected down town
along the railway tracks. 1t has been
a foolish and expensive proposition to
haul fuel by team to the present power
plant. It would be great deal more
idiotic to haul it to plant outside the
city limits.

BIG FODDER CROPS
AIM OF FARMERS
BIGGEST ACREAGE IN NORTH
WEST HlsToRY-coRN TO BE
POPULAR PRODUCT EVEN IN
NORTH DAKOTA, SAYS MINNIE
APoLIs JOURNAL,

Minneapolis Journal: The biggest
acreage Of fodder crops that ever was
put into the ground is going in this
spring in the northwest, because the
farmers who had poor crops last year
are tired, they say, Of paying high
prices for hay and corn and other
commodities. and they are going to
raise plenty of stock food this year
Good spring pasturage is assured
where last year there was little, but
that will not interfere with the acre
age in feed crops. The lesson Of last
year was a hard one in some places.
1t will not be repeated again this
year. the farmers say.
Three important features appear this
spring in the crop outlook: The fact
that the greatest area ever plowed In
the fall was turned over last year; the
tendency to raise the fodder crops. and
the further fact that wheat, on a price
basis, is less attractive this year than
other grains. Corn is going to be a
popular crop this year. not only in
Minnesota and South Dakota, where
corn is big staple, but in North na-
kota as we'll. Without a doubt, grain
men say, there will be much more corn
put into North Dakota soil this year
than ever before.
Every grain man or business man
interested in the purchase or sale or
transportation OF the crops will want
to know as soon as possible how big
the acreage is In counties where he is
interested and to what extent the
crops have changed. Elevator man
ayers say 1t is too early yet to make
any estimates. but that the indications
do not encourage the belief that there
viii be an increase of importance in
the wheat area On the contrary, the
reports so far in show that farmers
are inclined to plant barley and rye,
which are attractive in price, and to
SOW fax where they have seed, and
there is to be much new breaking.

DO PRAIRIE CHICKENS
DO ANY DAMAGE?

@. DO prairie chickens do any dam
age?
Answered by DR.. w. B. Bell, North
Dakota Agricultural college.
A small amount of damage may be
charged to the account of the prairie
hens. There is some evidence that
they destroy little sprouting grain.
pluck buds from fruit trees and eat
grain in grain fields. But here again
the good they do far outweighs the
comparatively small amount of dam
age done
The food consists principally of in
sects, seeds, fruit and grain The grain
is largely CLEANED from waste grain ir
harvested fields. Large quantities of
weed seeds are also eaten, though they
are not so valuable in this respect as
some other birds. The fruit eaten is
almost entirely wild fruit useless to
man.
The prairie hen performs very
large service in destroying noxious in
sects. During spring, summer and fall
their crops are to be found packed
with grasshoppers of practically all
kinds found in the locality. The oc-
casional well known ravages of grass
hoppers, when their numbers become
excessive, serve to emphasize the i'm.
portance of the natural enemies which
tend to hold them in check and usually
prevent their undue increase. The serv-
ice rendered in the Dakotas by the
prairie hen in destroying the young
and adult grasshoppers much more
than compensates for the possible dam
age they may do.
Prairie hens also destroy leaf eating
beetles such as the Colorado potato
beetle, a familiar pest in the Dakotas,
Many other injurious insects also are
eaten.
The value of the prairie hen as a
game bird also is large item in it's
favor. Here again only the surplus
stock should ever be killed, leaving
plenty of birds to propagate for keep
ing up the supply.
In North Dakota, where the law per

profitable addition to the income OF

The argument was a very interest

by some individual who prepared his
copy" by the use Of pencil, and not

A typewriter expert, or a linotype
expert, would probably inform him
that the arrangement of the letters on
the keyboard makes no difference at
all in the matter of learning their To-
cation. They are placed as they are
for the sake of convenience-so that
the letters most used may be in the
most accessible positions Certain
combinations OF letters which are
most frequently found in words are
arranged accordingly on the keyboard.
But the point which will present it.

There is individuality in handwrit-
