NATIONAL BANKS MUST
NOT GRANT 0vERD RATS

The comptroller of the currency-the
government official under whose i'm
mediate control are the National banks
has issued orders to the. examiners in
the form of lengthy circular in which
he says:
''The practice among national banks
in granting overdrafts should cease
forthwith. The supreme court of the
United States has taken a strong po-
sition against the mode of banking, de-
clarine that the usage of allowing GUS
toners to overdraw and to have their
checks charged up without having
present funds in the bank-stripped OF
all technical diseuise-is usage and
practice to misapply the funds of the

An overdraft is really forced loan
and every we'll conducted bank abhors
them. Now that the comptroller has sci
his foot down on the practice, it will

coNkLlN TREsPAss
TAKES ANOTHER TURN

A few weeks ago Geo Gonklin brought
an action in justice court against Cress-
we'll & Elliott. Ross and Columbus M.
Sans for damage to his fax CROP The
hearing was held before Einar Sholl
justice of the peace at Shollsmade, on
December 4, and it was the verdict of
this court that defendants should pay
plaintiff $50. with court expenses, max
ing in all nearly 500.
It is stated. however, that prior to the
hearing C. C. Creswell had seen Conklin
at a gathering and paid him $40, the
amount agreed upon. in settlement of
alleged damages. Flax was not gener-
ally very good last fall and some say
that the crop would not have made much
of anything anyway.
Subsequent to the hearing Geo. Conk-
lin was charged with the offense of per-
jury and cited to appear before Justice
Hesser at Medora on Wednesday of this
week for examination. It was charged
that Conklin denied at the hearing be
fore Justice SholI that he had received
anything in settlement of damages.
Editor j. M. Connolly was in Dickin-
son on Tuesday en- route to Medora as a
witness. Otto Thless also came up from
New England as attorney for Geo. Conk-
lin. Justice Sholl was another witness
called from the Cannon Ball country.
The Sans and Cresswell side did not
have any attorney at Medora on Wednes-
day. Justice Hesser made a careful ex-
animation If the case. and dismissed
the action. charging the costs to the
complaining witness, C. M. Sans, to
be collected by the state.
It appears from reports regarding & the
matter that &C. Cresswell did pay Conk-
lin the SO. but at the December hear
ing before Justice Sholl this import ant
evidence was not given. Evidently one
of the Sans boys intended to introduce
this evidence, but he got to talking
about the reported $40 that some one
said COnklin had received and forg ol
to introduce the fact that Cresswell had
paid $40. At least this is the way thu
story goes.
Geo. Conklin's side say that taking
him to Medora was all spite work. 1t i!
expected now that the next turn will b,
in district court at the Billings county
seat.

DlSclNG
STUBBLE
At Harvest Time Is Considered
In Article By Supt. L. R.
Waldron of Dickinson
Experiment Station.

Tho, proposition of discing the stub
ble land at the time of harvest is one
that originated with farmers of certain
dry farming sections and not with the
experiment stations. The practice has
been found OF value in many sections,
but 1t has been tried out only little in
North Dakota. At least two farming
methods may follow upon Its use.
After the stubble land has been disced
at the time of harvest the land may be
plowed either that fall or the next
spring. This, of course. opens the prop
osition whether fall plowing or spring
plowing is more desirable.
SPRING OR FALL FLOWING.
In Western North Dakota it has very
often been found that the best results
are gained from spring blowing. This
is not in accord with the results in
other districts. for fall plowing is gener-
ally considered the better practice. One
Of the main advantages in fall plowine
is that it conserves the moisture. A
drawback with fall plowing in this
section is that the plowing is done
when the soil is very dry. The advan-
tage of spring plowine is that it is done
when the soil is moist, as general
rule.
It is further held that the increased
snow caught by the stubble over tina,
caught by the plowed land makes the
soil sufficiently wetter to justify plow-
ing in the spring. While the stubble
catches SNOW and gives the land win.
ter irrigation yet the value of stubble in
catching the snow has possibly had tot
much emphasis placed upon it.
Our studies at Dickinson for seyera
years show that ground that has beer
fall plowed has on the average NOR,
moisture during the season following
than the spring plowed land for the up
per three feet of soil. The top foot o.
the spring plowed land generally start
in with little more moisture but in ,
short time this difference ceaess to exist
It seems very likely that the rule can b.
applied even here that blowing in tn
fall. even if the soil is dry, savel
moisture. But the yields at the Dick
inson station have averaged more on tn
spring plowed land than on the fal
plowe d land. Our results have beel
similar to those of the farmers.
EXTRAVAGANT USE OF WATER
The following little table, giving re
suits for 1911. shows that the grain upo
the fall plowed land has not been able
for some reason, to utilize the waite
that was present:

ally if the ground is frozen wet.
CONCLUSIONS REGARDING DISCING.

While considerable more needs to be
learned regarding the value of discing
the stubble land in this section. there is
no doubt of its great advantage if fall
plowine is to be done. There is no
question but that the practice saves
moisture, and furthermore the fall plow-
ing is rendered easier and may be done
better because of the moisture conditions
of the soil at the time Of plowing.
A great drawback of fall plowine in
this section is that the ground is plow-
ed when it is too dry, and this event.
ually has bad effect upon the succeed
ing crop. Now if discine the stubble
land renders the upper foot moist enough
so that tall blowing. say month after
harvest, may be done on lend that is
reasonably moist this objection to fall
plowine may fall by the way side.
Furthermore it may be that the disc
ing OF the stubble and at harvest time
will save enough moisture so that even
better crops may be grown upon spring
plowing. Perhaps but little snow would
be caught if the stubble be disced,
but enough moisture might be conserved
to more than Offset the loss of the small
ler amount of snow. The practice has
resulted SO we'll in other sections of the
country that it should be given trial
here. These remarks apply. of course,
to land that is being cropped to grain
after grain. or in fact, to any crop after
Grain.

From the above we see that each
bushel of grain raised on the fall
plowed land required about FIVE times
as much water than did an equal
amount of grain on the spring plowed
land.
VALUE OF DISCING THE STUBBLE.
An objection offered to discine stub
bic land at time of harvest is that the
stubble is broken down to such an ex-
tent that the snow holding power of the
stubble is destroyed. It is even held
that it is wise to allow weeds to grow
in the slubble to aid ia catching the
drifting snow. It may be that such
practices are to be commended in pre-
ference to discine the stubble land at
the time Of harvest, bnt certainly the
latter practice has not been experiment
ed with sufficiently in Western North
Dakota to. admit Of any definite ideas at
the present time. / doubt if any farmer
has carried out really definite expert
ments to determine the value of discing
stubble land at the time Of harvest.
Some stubble land was disced at the
Dickinson experiment station in 1911
at time Of harvest in comparison with
some stubble land left undisced. A
month later it'was determined that the
discing. and subseqdent narrowing, con-
served moisture TO the extent Of / 81

the holders of Honolulu Consolidated
Oil stock. The recent law passed by
Congress allows the Honolulu Consol-
idated people to prove up large area

new work in development. The ques-
ton arose whether to provide the
100000 needed for this by assessing
the present stockholders or selling n
new issue of stock. The advice OF the
Honolulu holders was to sell new
stock so that the small holders might
not be pinChed by an assessment. The
final decision will be made in San

ers of this stock were much disap-

would send the price of the stock up.
