United Norwegian lutheran Church OF
America, in session in Fargo will take
place at Concordia college in Moor
head next Monday afternoon. 1t will
be the unveiling of the Bauta stone,
which has been erected by admiring
Norwegians in honor of Norway's
great reformer, Hans Nilsen Hauge.
The picture of the stone was pre-
pared for The Forum so that outside
readers could be enlightened as to the
exact appearance Of the roughly newn
column made to represent the bauta
stones which areFso familiar in No.-
way The stone has been given a
prominent position at the northeast
corner of the college campus. inserted
in the stone is an engraved bronze
plate, bearing bust picture of Hauge,
with his full name and the purpose OF
its erection. On the right of the stone

He believes a man "has no more

Closely following the lines OF the

This plank, above all others, will re-

came from Norway to pay an official
visit to the Norwegian Lutherans Of
this country. While standing the aud
ience sang the familiar hymn, Kirken
Den Er Et Gammelt Hus.
The bishop then gave his address
saying he was glad to see so many
Norwegian Lutherans assembled for
deltberation concerning church mat
ters, so important to their spiritual
welfare.
He brought hearty greetings from
the mother church in Norway to her
daughter church in America, not the
| daughter that is weak and needs help
| and protection; but a worthy daughter
with family of her own, caring for
her children in this land They have
not fully recognized and appreciated
the work of the daughter church in
America, as should have been done.
He is now authorized to bring official
greetings, thanking the daughter
for what she has been able to accom-
plish in this land The many churches
in this country with steeples pointing
heayenward shows that Norway's
daughter has not forgotten her God.
but that material progress has built
.ehurches, schools and colleges snow
ing culture, prosperity and spiritual
interest.
MAY the Lord bless the Norwegian
Lutheran church in this country, and
may she flourish in the name OF the
Lord Jesus" said the bishop in con-
clusion.
President Dahl gave hearty reply,
4 mn
CLANS in this country, 475,0O0 connect :.
ed with the Lutheran church. Of
these 275,00O belong to this United

GET DOWN TO FERTILITY.
No Rea son For Disuse Of Plant Food.
PIow Your Lard Deeply.


In recent issue of Farm and Fire
side n contributor writes II very inter
esting article on soil fertility in which
he shows the different qualities that
soil must have and how, when the soil
becomes depleted. some sort of replen-
ishment of the lost qualities must be
provided. Following is an extract from
the article:
zone of the ways we have of increas-
ing our crop yield is to pillow deeper.
That is like running the hand little
deeper into the pocket. II is true, and
1t does not take the place of adding to
our soil nitrogen. potash and phOs-
phoric acid. but 1t does enable us to
make available soil fertility that is
really ours and to the benefits Of which
we are fairly entitled.
But will this deeper soil really give
us better crops? That homely creature
the woodchuck may answer that ques-
ton for us. wherever he has his home.
See what he does by his system Of
deeper digging. The rankest grass on
the whole farm is right around the
woodchuck hole What has he done?
He has brought up some of the fertil-
ity that has all these years been locked
up waiting for us to make it available.
The rains have moistened this soil. the
sunshine has warmed 1t. and splendid
grass is the result.
$50 this is a plea for deeper cultiva-
ton. | know 1t will take little harder
work on the part Of our horses to bring
this rich earth up. And If we had to
hold the plOw as we used to our arms
would surely ache before night. but
the beautiful riding pows of today.
which hold themselves. have lessened
the work of turning over the soil. We
may as well have the extra depth of
soil to grow better crops as to let It lie
there idle in the dark. On many farms
there are layers Of what have been
called hard pan little way below
the surface. These form tables which
hold the moisture and prevent It from
finding its way deeper into the earth.
They also in some degree form n bar
rier to the progress of plant roots
downward Other lands do not present
this barrier but wherever the soil is
thus packed down it needs breaking up.
"Drainage will do very much to help
about this. and little raising of the
cleviS. so that the nlowshare win dive
deeper. will certainly enable our crops
to get hold of and m'ke available the
locked up reserve fertility"
