FARMS IMPROVING
IN NORTH DAKOTA
PROFESSOR COOPER TELLS THE
RANkERs or THE SUCCESS or
THE BETTER FARMING AssocI-
ALTON AND WHAT IT is DOING
IN THIS STATE.

ST Paul Dispatch: The Better Farm
ing association OF North Dakota is do
ing a great work in that state, accord
Ing to Prof. Thos. p. Cooper head Of
that association. Ultimately the crop
value of the state will be increased by
many millions OF dollars as a result
Of its activity. and a number of new
seeds introduced, principal among
which is alfalfa. Professor Cooper
told OF the work OF the association at
the meeting Of the Minnesota Bankers
association, which is holding its an
nual convention at the Minnesota Ag-
ricultural college.
10000 Acres Under It's Supervision.
While the association is still In its
infancy, Professor Cooper says that
more than 10000 acres of land are
under its supervision, and farmers all
over the state have been awakened to
the usefulness Of the organization. The
association works in three different
ways. The first method is to take a
plat OF ground and work it with the
crops usually grown by the farmer
to whom 1t belongs. The second meth
cd is to introduce some new crop, and
he third method deals with the care
of live stock.
Field men have charge Of the work,
and half the expense is paid by the as

en- counties In the state have made
contracts with the association.
Helps Solve the Problem.
Central accounting ofices are pro-
vided, the cost Of carrying on a crop is
kept, and reports are made monthly to
he farmers. The general advisory
work of the field man, however, is
most appreciated by the farmers. The
field man advises on questions in which
the farmer is vitality interested. from
drainage and construction problems to
the care of live stock and the building
of a fence.
Wased Seed Corn Campaign.
AS was the case with Minnesota, the
Better Farming association carried on
a seed campaign last spring, and the
reports from seed houses would indi-
cate that the campaign had a good
effect. In some counties arrangements
were made with the children of the
rural schools to make termination
tests, and by these methods practically
every farmer had his attention called
to seed termination.
Speaking of the experiments with
alfalfa, Professor Cooper said that
personsal Suppression is being given
this year to about 5000 acres Of al
faIfa.
One of the striking results of the
work of the association, according to
Professor Cooper, is the discovery that
many of the farmers Of North Dakota
do not need the assistance OF the
field men of the association, as their
work Is already far in advance OF any
thing the associations employees have
yet taken up.

FAVOR ROAD PATROLS.
Engineer Forbes Finds That Many
Counties Are Taking Up the
Idea.

st. Paul. - According to C. A.
Forbes, division engineer of the state
highway commission, who has just
returned from a tour of inspection
through the northern counties, farm
ers in that section of the state are
preparing to build hundreds of miles
of good roads this summer In many
of the towns good roads organizations
have been formed to help push the
work, and the farmers are displaying
great enthusiasm over the movement.
Mr.. Forbes reports that the idea OF
placing road patrols on roads already
built is gaining great favor. In Hub
bard county a state road patrol was
employed last year on the road lead
ing from Park Rapids to the Itasca
state park, and during the wet wealth
er last year this road was the only
one over which an automobile could
travel with safety. Several of the 9th
er counties will employ road patrols
this summer Beltrami county, Mr..
Forbes says, has let contracts for the
construction of thirty-one miles OF
good roads this summer. Road patrols
will be engaged to keep these roads
in condition after they have been COM
pleted. Gill;

HOME BURNS; FOUR DEAD
Canadian Farmers Three Children
and Hired Man Perish.


Prince Albert, April 23.-Four per-
sons were burned to death in a fire
which destroyed the residence of Rob-
ert Adamson, a farmer three miles
west of Shelbrook. The dead are,
Hazel Naimo, aged eight, Cecil, aged
six, Horace, aged 3, John Ruhlban,
the hired man.
The details of the fire indicate that
Mr.. Adamson who slept down stairs
got up and started the fire in the
cook stove. He called the hired man
who answered and then went down to
the barn. A few minutes later, on
hearing screams, he ran back to find
the house in flames. He succeeded in
getting a ladder up to the upstairs
window and pulled at the bed clothes
but could not find the children.
In the meantime, Mrs. Adamson
who was severely burned about the
arms, called to the hired man to throw
the children out of the window, but
getting no response, she attempted to
get out of the door but was unable
to open it and had to escape by the
window with the baby in her arms.
