Intelligently

THE man who sprays his fruit or

who will have the bumper yield to
send to market. The large increase
in the number of insects attacking fruit
trees and garden truck throughout the
country makes it absolutely necessary
for the farmer or grower to protect
his crop by the proper use of insect.

is an average of twenty bushels to
the acre. At $3.50 per bushel
Mr.. Maoksy received 81, 200, which
is considered pretty fair for 40.

j. A. Peterson had twelve hun
dred bushels of potatoes from IL
acres on his farm that he figures
the best crop he had, though at
that the yield is very ordinary, the
potatoes being of q quality variety
rather than big producers. He
has a safe place to store them and
he figures he will get not less
than 81 so a bushel next spring, a
gross revenue of $500 and net
profit of $1,000. There is excel.
lent money in potatoes if one has
proper storage facilities to sell at
initiated spring prices.

Surfacing May Be
Delayed TIL Spring
n. P. Road viii be Unsafe all VIII
ter-Heavy Shipments May Be &
Made Over the 500

Made Over the 500 I
The work on the northern
branch of the Northern Pacific
will soon stop for the winter. The
rails have been laid as far as
Hensler and all is ready so far for
the surfacing.
The Mandan News has the fol-
lowing to say about the road: The
fact that the rails and ties are laid
does not mean that the road is
complete, or nearly complete.
That is only the beginning. The
surfacing is just as essential to the
operation of the line as the laying
of the ties and steel. An unsur-
faced track is to q train what an
incomplete and rock filed road is
to an automobile, and even more
unsafe.
The surfacing has been begun
but is not progressing very rapidly.
The reason Of this is, primarily,
that enough experienced men are
not at the command of the con-
structionists. One cause of this
is that the season is so far ad.
vanced. The boomers who do q
great deal of this sort of work have
returned to the cities aud settled
down to spend the winter in their
own manner. Besides, the cold
hinders the work. Several very
hard freezes have made the ground
so hard that surfacing is a much
greater task than in warm weather
It is not at all likely that the
surfaoing will be entirely complet-
ed this fall, and it will probably
be late in the spring before the
line is in condition to be called
ready for traffic. But the track
laying will in all probability be
completed in a few weeks, so that
all that will remain will be the
surfacing. 1t was stated upon the
completion of the steel work to Hen
sler that the track would be laid
to Fort Clark, ten or twelve miles
from Stanton, the objective point
of this falls work, in ten days.
That will be next Thursday or
Friday.
The construction department is
hauling supplies over the line as
far as it has been completed and
grain and other products come in
occasional lots !. from points be.
tween here and Hensler. One full
car of stock has been shipped from
the neighborhood of Harmon. The
shipping is very slight, however,
and comes only in small quantities
at irregular times.
The rates from here to Hensler
have already been determined by
the company. Hensler and Wash.
burn are two of the most COM
petitive points on opposite sides
of the river, the one being on the
n. p. the other on the 500, and
the latter, having, also, some sort
of steamboat service. So it has
been determined that the rates
between Hensler and Mandan
shall be the same as between
Washburn and Bismarck. The
same rule will also hold for all
towns which are in direct COM
petition with towns on the op.
posite side of the river accom-
modated by the 500.
These are very comnendable
decisions, showing very plainly
that the n. p. is interested in it's
undertaking. and ready to meet all
competition. With high rates
much Of the produce would go
across the river and down the 500,
and heavy shipping would be in q
manner discouraged. But no such
condition will be allowed. Con-
petition is the life Of trade. and
the N. p. does not intend to be

ter Than Expected
Eastern Papers Publish Series o.
Statistics Prepared By Commis-
Sioner Gubreath

sioner Gnbreath
The following data on the 1911
crops in North Dakota appeared
in the Minneapolis journal and
other eastern papers:
With a view to discounting
pessimistic reports and removing
any false impression which might
exlet regarding the 1911 crop year
in North Dakota, the Wells e.
Dickey company, bonds and mort
cages, 434 Security Bank building,
sent a communication to w. G..
Gilbreath, commissioner of agri-
culture and labor of North Dakota,
inquiring as to actual conditions.
E. P. Wells has received a reply
from Commissioner Gilbreath.
The commissioner, while adj
mitting the shortage in the crop
of 1910, is unwilling to place the
crop year of 1911 in the same
class. Crop reports received dur
ing the growing season, Mr.. Gill
breath said, enabled his depart
ment to make an estimate of yield,
which, he asserted, should have
some weight to remove the false
impression which might exist in
the minds of those not acquainted
with the facts. The official crop
statistics will not be available un-
til the summer of next year.
"Our calculations" said Mr.
Gilbreath, in his communication,
indicate yield of wheat Of at
least 80, 100000 bushels, with other
small cereals in the same proper
tin, a full crop of corn, while the
favorable weather in September
and October has wrought wonders
with the yield of late sown flax.
Altogether the department esti-
mates the value of agricultural
grain, fodder and tuber products,
for the state in 1911, at $l50,O0O,
surely no inconsiderable showing
in a partially off years for a state
with a population of 600,0oO.'
Mr.. Gilbreath furnished the
Wells & Dickey company with
tabulated data of the precipitation
for twenty selected stations in
North Dakota, covering every
section of the state, during the
period from January 1. 1911, to
Sept. 80, 1911, inclusive. The
data was furnished to Commits.
sioner Gilbreath by Section Di-
rector Orris W. Roberts of the
North Dakota section of the
United States department of
agriculture's chronological service
of the weather bureau.
It shows the departure from the
normal in precipitation for the
nine months at each station, as
we'll as the total precipitation. Il
shows an average precipitation for
each station for the nine months
in question Of 1910 inches, or l.2l
inches above the normal for that
period. The monthly average for
all the twenty stations is T.12
inches, or 2.69 inches above the
average. The precipitation data
