ANSWERS NUMEROUS
QUESTIONS OF
FARMERS
Center Helps Them to Solve
Perplexing Problems in
Agriculture.

Q. B. Center. Expert for the Better
Farming association of Grand Forks
county, says the farmers receive him
very cordially, in fact many are en-
thAsiastic over the work and are TAX
ing a great deal of interest in the i'm
proved methods as suggested by him.
In one day recently Mr.. Center drove
out. from Larimore. covering thirty
five miles, visiting many farmers, lend
ing assistance and giving instruction
to nine. One farmer he says. was de-
sirous of ascertaining the adaptibility
OF a certain piece of his land to alfal-
ia, and another was interested in corr
and alfalfa. Mr.. Center made exam
nations n "a W them the necessary
Instructions, which they promised to
carry out in accordance with the re-
auirements of the association. An
other farmer who suspicioned that
quack grass was getting a hold on his
land. called Mr.. Center in for an ex-
animation. The suspicious proved to
be we'll founded. as it was shown that
this pesky plant nae secured a pretty
good foothold. The treatment for this
is a rigid OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Mr..
Center terms "summerfallowing with
a~vengeance." The plan is to be car
ried out.
An interesting experiment is to be
made on h farm Of County Commits
sioner Poupore this week, where the
eradication of king head will be at
tempted. This process consists Of a
spray containing iron sulphate, which
is said to kill the weed without harm
ing the grain. The attempt will be
watched with interest.
The association stands ready and
willing to do all in it's power to assist
the farmers of this county in over
coming the difficulties encountered on
the farm. and Mr.. Center will be
pleased to solve or assist in solving a
problem Of any sort in any way that
he can.
Mr.. Center's work is all practical,
not theoretical, and is based upon long
Years of experience. and the effort on
the part of the association through
him is having a wholesome effect and
is creating much active interest among
the farmers.

MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT ON OAHU
WILL EFFECT SAVING OF SI2O0,OOO

CHICAGO, April 2.-The first step
toward the reduction of the military
force in the Philippines has been taken
by the war department. Orders have
been issued delaying the departure of
the First Infantry, which was to have
left San Francisco on March 5, and
which is now to sail on the transport of
May 5. That regiment will not go to
the Philippines, in accordance with the
original schedule, but will take station
in the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is the
plan of the war department to maintain
garrison of but six regiments-four
of infantry and two of cavalry-instead
of twelve regiments, of which eight are
IN the infantry and four in the cav
airy. The companies of the organiza-
tion on duty in the islands will be main
tanned at war strength. 1t is claimed
by the secretary of war that by this
operation the government will be able

Third and Fourth cavalry have had
their dates of departure indefinitely

LONDON, April 8. = "Does the
British government recognize that
the Monroe Doctrine is applicable
only to the American Continent or does
it admit that it includes the islands of
the West Indian ArchipelagoH" was
the question put to Sir Edward Grey
in the house of commons today. Sir
Edward said it was difficult to reply
without knowing the meaning that the
questioner attached to the Monroe Doc
trine and the archipelago. He con.
tinued:
1.-The Monroe Doctrine is the express
sion of a policy of the United States
and as such it is for them to say what
it covers. AS, however, the British
government has no intention of making
any new acquisition of territory either
on the American continent or in the
archipelago no question of policy on
this point will arise between Britain
and the United States.
