Editor Independent:

EdltOr Independents:
would like very much to have a
little space in your HONORABLE, paper
for few lines as read in the paper
of man who got lucky number in
the Berthold land drawing, saying he
would work at his trade in a nearby
town and al the same time hold down
his claim. Now, then, do not see how
a man can do his duties on a home
stead and at his trade at the same
time. l believe if man files on a
homestead that he should live on /,
and become a farmer and pl0w his
land, instead of being a business man
81 a town, as a barber, blacksmith or
a merchant. He would have to be st
r;s place VI business in town when he
should be on his homestead farming
his land. I do not see how man
can become the owner of a $50 acre
homestead and be somewhere else 365
days out of the year. II he or she
takes this land as a home why they
should live anywhere else in the day
time and just go to the homestead to
sleep How can they DC called a
homesteader I am a young man VI
% years and was not lucky enough tc
draw homestead though | wished
very much to but was one of the un.
lucky ones. Therefore I think the
Berthold land will be like much Of the
land around Minot, that it Will be
homesteaded and proved up by specu-
lators with money and become theirs.
| think that the laws should BE- more
strict with the homesteaders and
looked into more closely. If A man
axes a homestead he should live on
ii not somewhere else. Such men are
not of any good to our country and
why not keep them out Of our farming
district, and if we are going to be So
cialisls, why not begin at one anj

Rotation of crops is q much dis
cNssed subject, yet it can not be dis
oNssed too much, as it is the key to
50 much of success in farming. On
the experiment station one field went
tWenty-seven and one-half bushels Of
wheat in 1910 and very little rain fell.
In 1909 this field was in flax that went
twenty-three bushels per acre; in
1905 it was in corn and in 1907 it
Wos in clover-the sod was MANFRED
bg1ore blowing. This is a fine demon
t10tion of what rotation of crops will
Do. It was the clover and manure in
1907 and the com in 1908 that made
~ crops in 1909 and 1910 These
crops and the manure to a large ex-
tent made the grain crops Independent
Of the season.
The growing of the same crop year
a1tsr year invites the enemies of that
ditiOns remain the same the better
foothold these enemies get whether
it be insects. weeds or diseases. The
oftener the conditions are changed, as
IN rotating crops, the harder 1t is for
the enemies Of - crop to get estab'
hshed; in fact thsys can ~ not do it.
Then again, the different crops make
different demand % the soA.
To make a rotation success stock
y needed to convert the roughage in
10 q concentrated marketable COM
modify, as beef, dairy products,
horses. pork, etc, and manure.
The statement is often. made that
the time can not be afforded to do all
these things; the fact is that the time
spent in this way brings better re-
turns than if put into continuous grain
growing One twenty bushel crop OF
wheat makes more profit than two
sixteen bushel crops and twenty
seven and one-half bushel crop OF
wheat makes as much profit as four
sixteen bushel crops.
