WEATHER FINE, SEEDING IS on
FARMERS AWARE THAT EVERY
MOMENT Is PRECIOUS.
Operations Prevalent Throughout
State-Red River Prospects
Good.

the North Dakota farmers have seed
ed thousands Of acres. The wealth
er has been ideal, the government
thermometer registering 80 degrees
throughout the day. Farmers, aware
that every moment is precious, have
put every available team in the field
and are rushing work in order to get
all their seeding done before the rain,
which prophets say is almost due. ow-
ing to the extremely warm weather.
The weather bureau predicts a con-
tinuation of the warm weather.
Reports from over the state indicate
that every effort is being made to get
in as much grain as possible each day
in anticipation of q rain.
Crop conditions we're never better
In any section Of the state. say re.
ports. Through the Red River val
ley crop prospects are said to be the
best in history. Similar conditions
prevail In the Golden valley on the
Montana state line in the western part
of the state.
The slope country. Just west OF the
Golden valley. is busy putting in the
crop. Gas tractor plows broke many
hundreds Of acres in that section last
fall and the states grain acreage will
be materially increased this year as
q result.
Seventy-f1ve gas tractor outfits have
worked in the southwestern part OF
the state. breaking land for two years
Much of this was planted to fax a
year ago and this land will. be. put into
diversified crops this season.

The General g.s' Acreage Of Land Under
Cultivation Will Exceed any Pre-
vlous Year-seed Corn
Scarce.

Fargo.-There is considerable spec.
in this state as to the acreage
of the different grains to be sown this
season. From all reports it is quite
probable the wheat acreage in the
northwestern part Of the state will be
less than usual. One report from q
reliable source in Bottineau. county To
to the effect that the acreage as esti-
mated today will be rs per cent less
than last year. and II the season does
not prove favorable it may fall abort
20 per cent. The general acreage win
exceed former years but 1t will shift
to other grains. 1t is thought that in
the most instances there will be an
Increased acreage in flax, barley and
rye, and in the northwest quarter 1t
10 possible there will be q consider
able increase in corn. as the corn
which was quite successfully raised in
the northwest part OF the state last
year was the means of many farmers
pulling through the winter without
selling their horses and cattle at a
sacrifice, owing to the failure of other
crops. But this rule will not work in
the Red river valley where there was
= great deal Of corn last year; in fact.
many farmers found themselves with
q superabundance Of that feed, and
many are expressing the intention Of
raising less this year.
There is also one feature about the
corn question which will have q tend
ency to reduce the corn acreage in
many localities, and that is the fact
that there is q great scarcity Of good
seed, and q very large percentage Of
this cereal will not terminate. Be-
sides this the price is almost prohibi-
tive. seed corn selling as high az So
and SO q bushel. One farmer In
Burke county reports having paid 81

EXPERIMENT E
Mccumber and Gronna are Sure the
Farmers Bill Will Pass.

WashtngtOn.-Both Senator Nc
Cumber and Senator Gronna are con-
ident the senate will pass the McCum.
Der bill appropriating $1,000 for the
establishment of an experiment sta
ton at Mandan. Senator McCumber
introduced this bill in the sixty-irst
congress and again In the s~ixty-second
congress-. and has been pressing it
from time to time since. Owing to
the fact that the committee on agri-
culture was without a permanent
chairman for some time following the
death of the late Senator Dolliver Of
Iowa. no action vas taken on the
measure until a few days ago. when
Senator Gronna. who is a member of
the committee, cooperating with his
colleague. secured a favorable report.
The idea of Senator McCumber in
Introducing this bill originally was
that it would be a splendid thing If
the government established an expert
ment station in North Dakota pri-
marily for the purpose Of experiment
ing with trees, shrubs. fruits and ber-
ties. The state is among the few
which are classed as "treeless." and
he senator believes that experts Of
The government can determine. IL
proper facilities are afforded. what
trees. shrubs. etc, will do hest in the
soil and climate, not only OF North
Dakota. but other "treeless" states.
The senator predicts that great bene-
fit will accrue to North Dakota and
other states following the establish.
ment OF the Mandan experiment sta
ton.
The North Dakota authorities, of
course. will cooperate heartily with
the federal experts In the work OF
experimentation.
The people of North Dakota would
be glad to- plant trees II they knew
what Ia plant" said Senator Gronna
to the committee on agriculture. I'VE
would gladly conserve our trees II
ne bad any to conserve"
In reply to the objection that the
proposal to establish the station at
Mandan was a new departure. Sena-
tor Cronna said that It was not nee
essarily a bad thing to establish a
precedent. However. he allayel the
fears OF his committee colleagues by
reminding them that a similar appro.
prfation could not be demanded for
many other states since the same con.
ditions prevail only in q very few. He
said ne was afraid IL the matter were
left entirely to the discretion of the
secretary Of agriculture or his agents
probably a long time would pass BE-
fore anything was done. because. in
the very nature Of things. they could
not begin to know conditions like the
men who have lived for many years
In the northwestern country.
