FARMERS MEET
AT jamestown
NUMEROUS QUESTIONS ASKED
BY FARMERS REGARDING
SPRING WORK.

jamestown, N. D., March Mot
withstanding the short notice for
farmers institute at Jamestown, a
good sized opening day attendance
was seen at the city hall Monday morn.
ing.
Professor Hoverstad opened the in
stitute and II soon developed that the
unusual season Of 1910 had made new
problems for farmers to solve. There
were many questions asked as to the
best way TO proceed with land this
spring. A great deal of fall blowing
had been done last year and many of
the thistles and weeds turned under
which grew up in the field following
the drought. The best way to handle
land this spring was evidently what
every farmer wanted to know. Pro-
lessor Hoverstad stated that the years
experience indicated what every farmer
acknowledged to be fact, that less
ground should be cultivated and more
care given to the cultivation Of what
land was farmed. He asked what was
the average yield in this part of the
state Of wheat last year. and several
farmers thought that it would not ex-
course showed loss and heavy one,
instead of a profit.
Professor Hoverstad gave some fig-
ures regarding the profits on raising
wheat in Minnesota covering a period
of ten years. He said the figures had
been carefully gathered in three differ
ent districts, which included the en-
tire state. The result showed that on
an eight-bushel crop Of wheat during
ten years the loss was S2.79 an acre,
on a ten-bushel crop loss was $1.01
and on a twelve bushel crop the loss
was % cents. The cost of raising the
wheat included a charge for interest
on the investment in the land, the time
of the men and farm help, depreciation
in machinery and stock.
On a sixteen-bushel crop the profit
was shown to be 1892 an acre. and
on twenty-bushel crop the profit was
$4.S7 an acre, or one twenty bushel
crop gave a larger profit than two
sixteen bushel crops.
Professor Palmer, Col. r. A. Will
kinson and other speakers addressed
the sessions today.

WILL FARMERS PROFIT?
Is the Experience of the Past Year to
Teach Those Who Farm in
This State?

Bismarck Tribune: Will the farm
ers of the state profit by the experience
Of the last year? 1t is fact that there
was partial crop failure in certain
parts Of the state. 1t is also a fact
that in many instances the failure was
directly due to laxity in the methods
employed by tillers of the soil and not
to climatic conditions. This was prov
ed by the fact that farms in the same
neighborhood and in the same section
Of land in fact showed a great differ
ence in yield, one farmer having a
profitable crop while his neighbor did
not even attempt to harvest his crop.
In every instance except where hail
was to blame for the destruction of the
crop the better crop was raised on &C.
count OF the fact that the owner Of the
land employed what has become to be
known as better farming" methods.
Literature on better farming" is OBJ
tainable from a number of sources at
no greater expense than the sending
for ii. The agricultural college has
plenty of it and is anxious to send It
to the people of the state. Commits
sioner of Agriculture and Labor Gill
breath can also supply great deal of
information along those lines
With better farming methods in use
generally over the state there is all
ready assurances of good crop as
the conditions in the spring are bound
to be ideal on account of the heavy
fall of snow over the state and II the
dry farming" process, which is sim
ply matter of the conservation of
moisture, is carried out there will be
need of but little rainfall during the
growing season. Every one in posi-
ton to put in good word for the
better farming" plan should start to
get busy at once and with the end in
view Of making 1t bumper crop do
all in their power to call attention to
the necessity of assisting nature in
providing for the wants of the human
race.

DECIDES AGAINST
The new COUNTY
DIVIDE MUST LET A CONTRACT
FOR TRANSFERRING THE
RECORDS.

Williston, N. D., March Judge
Frank Fisk has handed down his deci-
sion in the Divide Williams county tax
case and sustains the demurrer to the
writ in nandamus proceedings insti-
tuted by Patrick Noonan, treasurer of
Divide county, against Oscar Hanson,
treasurer of Williams county, to force
the Williams county official to allow
Mr.. Noonan to transcribe the tax rec
ords of the territory comprising Divide
county. The demurrer was sustained
on the ground that the treasurer Of
Divide county had no authority to
NEEDLE with the treasurer's books of
williams county. The constitution
provides that a new county shall adj
vertise for bids and let the contract
for the purpose of transcribing all
records relating to the territory en-
braced in the new county.

Pavement Nor An Asse:
old. U.R., Says Bartrof

Il. T. Bancroft. expert on street
railway appraisals, on Friday, gave
this statement 10 The Times, rela-
tive to the paving feature of the
/ Thompson ordinance:
Paving, insofar as the ID. L. r.
is concerned, is simply a visible tax
receipt nothing else. They assume
this obligation as tax in lieu OF
other taxes. Now in lieu OF may mean
as Mr. Baker says, in addition 10 but
in this case II is immaterial They
did assume the burden for the reason
stated, were compensated by a high
fare and escaping other taxes and
reserved valuable franchise rights for
assuming this tax.
Preferring 10 pay a portion OF
their taxes in this manner necessitat-
ed their preparing those taxes for a
number OF years because IL involves
expenditures for items OF physical ma
ture, but during the immediate years
succeeding first installation no taxes
were paid In this manner. and until
the time came for the replacement
or repairing then II became an an
nual charge or tax the same as any
other tax. When sell my house the
paving in front of II does not belong
TO me, nor can add TO the buildings
value bunch OF paid tax receipts.
The situations are precisely the same.
The committee that had charge
of the recent appraisal of the D. u
r., was composed of as liberal men
as the city contains. They went in
10 all these matters yer conscien-
tiously. Likewise we had the opinion
ing the position we took. and four
out of five OF the legal committee OF
the committee Of fifty took the same
view, the exception being ex-Judge
G. j. Reilly. who, on account OF being
an interested party, a bondholder in
the Rapid railway, operated by the
ID u r., should never have been on
that committee.
There never was any question
about the matter at all. Pavement is
not an asset of the company. II the
city in the discussion of this new
franchise must give up every right IL
may have because the ID. u. r. has
not agreed 10 II, that objection In
this case would seem 10 be removed.
for Jere c. Hutchins, president of the
ID u. r., has stated IN times past the
following:
with reference to tracks, for
instance, I held that cost OF lay
ing pavement should be eliminated
from consideration Paving of the
street is a tax In itself.
We do not own or control the
