big crops under my system.
There may be plenty OF moisture
in the sub soil, but perhaps 1t can't
get the roots to supply the plant.
How Deep to Sow.
The shallower you can SOW and still
get the seed In moist solid soil, the
quicker will the heat Of the sun affect
it, the quicker it will grow and the
better crop you will have. You can
seed too deep. Be careful to get 1T
just right. Be sure to deposit your
seed in solid soil.
viii our Wheat Soil Wear Out?
According to Campbell's idea, there
Is something about growing grain ir
the right way that keeps the soil
from wearing out" rapidly. We work
upon the theory that if the WORK is
done right, the physical conditions
of the soil will remain in perfect
condition. Bacteria has its effect on
the soil, and jujstj what it does to the
soil he does not know, but he does
know that it is necessary to the pro-
per development of the plant.
Limit Not Yet Reached.
''We have grown as high as "a
bushels of wheat to the acre, and l
believe we will vet grow Is. You
must keep the surface loose, allow no
crust to form and let the air mingle
with the surface to produce the rot
ting of the soil below the surface. To
illustrate this rotting process, he said
one might break virgin soil two
inches deep, and after allowing the
sod to rot for time, it would be
found that the soil had rotted for
some distance below the breaking
Speaking of the depth to pillow
the land, he said that he would place
the limit at seven inches. II don't
see why you cannot grow from 40 to
so bushels of wheat to the acre in
stead of ten," he declared.
At the conclusion of CampbelIs
great address, a great many questions
concerning his system were asked.
Next week we will give a complete
list of the questions with their an.
swers. Look fer this, the best feat

GIRLS TELL
STRANGE
STORIES
Stranded In Grand Forks Without
Money Having Lost Pocketbook.

IN oney Having Lost Poekstbook.
Grand Forks, N. D., March -
Strange indeed Was the experience OF
two girls, aged 10 and 20 years, who
reached this city on Saturday without
money and absolutely helpless. The
girls lost the one pocketbook which
contained all their money somewhere
between Devils Lake and this city, &C.
cording to their story, and arrived
here with nothing between them ana
starvation. Through the agency VI
the police department and interested
citizens, sufficient money has been
raised to send them on their way back
TO their home in Rochester, N. Y.
AS their story goes, the two girls
left their homes for they are not sis
ters, several weeks ago to come to
Buford, N. D. One of the girls has
been corresponding with q farmer
living near Buford and their CORES
pondence had progressed to the point
where he had popped the question.
The girl Immediately started FIR Blu
ford from far-away New York. but
her friend insisted on accompanying
her, probably with the hope that she,
too, would become entangled matri-
rnnnio1lv ant ,,ho or~i1 at
Buford and the elder of the two had
gazed upon the face of the man with
whom she had been corresponding
the spell was Immediately broken.
He didn't suit. In fact he wouldn'.
do at all. The other girl fully ac
uuiesced in the decision and so they
started back again.
AS girls will do, they carried ali
their money in one pocketbook and in
some way this was lost with the re.
suit that they reached Ora i'd Forks
financially embarrassed to say .he
least. They took the only course
they could take .nder the circuul
stances and told their story to Chief
Lowe. Through his@aid and that of
other interested citizens enough
money was raised to send them 1,
least long way on their recl:n rip
to Rochester. They are saddsl md
wiser girls than when they LETT home
and it is hardly likely that they will
ever again, no matter what rlatrimon-
ial strigeucy may come, try the cor
respondence route to matrimony.

THE MARKETS
HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW.

Houston, Texas, Oct. 11.-Cotton
prices are weakening, due to the re-
newed estimates of an unprecedented
crop, aided by the apparent support
of such figures by the ginning to Sep
TENDER % of the unprecedented total
of 1886, 900 bales. against the previous
high record in 1908 of 2,590,639 bales.
On the basis of the crop report isseud
September 2, many estimate the
1912 cotton crop at from 100000
to 100000 bales, though others put
it under 100000 bales. However,
the belief is quite general that the
crop is one of the largest, If not the
largest, ever raised. 1t is also consid-
cred one of the earliest in point of
development. Cotton picking is pro-
crossing on a record scale and in
many sections is being continued by
moonlight. Ginneries are working
night and day to keep up with the
pickers, yet despite this much cotton
is being stored in the seed.
The strike on the Hartman lines
is declared to be felt in the Houston
produce market, for jobbers say they
were unable to get many shipments
on time Shipments of vegetables are
arriving slowly and several orders
we're cancelled for carloads because
of the inability of the cars to reach
Houston for the weekend rush.
The chicken market is firming, hens
bringing $5.0065.50 per dozen and
fryers $4.OO@4.5O per dozen. Poultry
dealers predict a splendid market as
a result of a cold spell blowing in the
FIST of the week.
Butter and eggs, potatoes and
onions are unchanged in price, but are
firm with a good demand.
Houston bank clearings for the
week were $44,936.OO0. Dun's review
reports all lines of trade are fiouri sh'
ing, collections are good and business
is satisfactory in every respect.
