Grand Forks, Dec. 3.-Alleging faulty
work in the removal Of his appendix,
William Reynolds of Larimore has
brought suit for $4,000 damages against
DR.. Il. w. Witherstine of this city,
and the case will be among those to be
called for trial in the district court
at the opening Of the December term
tomorrow.
In his answer to the complaint, DR..
Witherstine contends that the disabili-
ty and loss, Of which the plaintiff com.
plains, was caused solely through the
plaintiffs 3 neglect and failure to have
his case properly and seasonably at
tended to, and through no fault Of the
defendant"
The plaintiff alleges that on or
about June l, 1910, he was afflicted
with serious pain and illness, and
called the defendant to prescribe for
him. The defendant, he alleges, inform
ed him that he was suffering with ap-
pendicitis, that an abscess had formed
and that it would be necessary to un.
dergo an operation to have the vermi-
form appendix removed.
He further alleges that defendant
did, on June ], 1910, perform an opera
tion, and that he performed it in such
manner that he entirely failed in the
attempt to remove the plaintiffs ap.
pendix, and "that, for the purpose Of
concealing his failure did falsely and
fraudulently represent and state to
the plaintiff that he had removed the
appendix"
The plaintiff also alleges that by
reason Of the failure Of the defendant
. remove the appendix, he, the plain
till, still suffered severe ana protracted
pain, and was incapable of work and
caused to expend large sums of money
for drugs and surgical operation.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec 2.-Unique
in the history of agricultural develop.
ment and the pioneer movement in bet
ter farming conditions, the Better
Farming association of North Dakota
is just completing its first season 's
work. This association organized by
business men and bankers Of Minnesota
and North Dakota, has for its object
"the establishment and promotion Of
better and more profitable farming"
The association is cooperating in Is
counties Of this state and has a force
of 25 experts at work. Many additional
counties will be taken in this winter.
The association was formed by men
who believed that unless under proper
supervision, change is made in meth
DDS of farming, their future will be SER
iously impaired. They point to the
fact that all states basing their agfi.
cultural prosperity on one-crop sys-
TEN, sooner or later, through partial
exhaustion of the soil and consequent
economic ills, pass through period of
agricultural depression. The aim Of
the North Dakota association is to
head off any such condition. According
ly, the association was organized with
approximately $l50,0Oo capital. When
a county decides to cooperate with the
association, it guarantees to put into
the work sum equivalent to that fur
nished by the association for a period
of three years. The association then
puts from one to three men in the coun
ty.
The method, that has been adopted
for developing the work is by direct
contact with the individual. Thomas
P. Cooper, formerly head of the field
work in the university of Minnesota
is secretary and director. Under him
are various district supervisors, and
under them the field men. All must
be carefully selected, trained experts.
The. theory Of the work is that the
farmer can gain great deal Of light
on his business by going over various
problems with a man competent to
show him how new methods may be
applied and adopted on his own farm.
everal definite forms Of work have
been initiated during the season just
PoSSou' Lucy may Uo cAdsSlAeu uuuer
five heads: Demonstration plants and
fields, demonstration farm, livestock
demonstrations, advisory farm manage
ment, and farm accounts. By skillful
use of these mediums, .Ae value Of
better farming is brought home to the
farmer with telling force. During the
winter months, the organization Of
farmers clubs and the holding Of in.
stitutes will be . principal part Of the
work.
The work Of the association is be-
ing taken up in North Dakota at
very opportune time. Agriculture,
particularly in the eastern section, is
in the process Of transition. The trials
and failure Of experiments on the part
of the farmer are largely obviated BY
the expert, and under the lead Of tho
Better Farming association North Ia.
kota farmers are taking up diversified
methods under decidedly different CON.
ditions than their predecessors Of
few decades ago.
