STOLEN MERCHANDIsE VALUED
AT $500 FOUND UNDER
FLOOR.

HANK1NSON, N. D., July 6.-Mer-
chandise vaued at $1,000 to $500 was
found in the vacant stauh factory
building near the 500 depot, where it
had been secreted by boxcar thieves.
500 detectives are working on the
case and there is very likelihood that
the thieves will be run to earth. Strong
clues as to the identity Of at leastl
one of the men have been found.
The stolen loot has been shipped to
the claim departmnt of the 500 road
at Minneapolis. The goods were evil
dently billed to Enderlin, Minot and
Mobridge, as evidenced by enclosures
in the packages. None of it was for
local parties.
The plant was discovered through
the arrest Of hobo who was seen
taking eatables from the interior Of
an old threshing engine on the east
side Of town near the starch factory.
He was seen sneaking to the engine
and his actions aroused t, suspicion Of
some laborers near by. They reported
the matter to the marshal, who took
the vag into custody. At the time
quantity Of food, such as crackers,
canned goods, sardines, ETC., most of
it in the original packages, was found
locked up and more extended search
the factory floors. Sixty casks Of
made with the result that veritable
robbers' roost was discovered under
whiskey, whole bolts Of cloth, quanti-
ties Of food in cans and boxes, fire.
crackers and loot falmost every con-
ceivable kind was brought to light.
An exhaustive examination Of the
man in custody convinced the authori-
ties that he was innocent and his dis.
charge followed. According to his
story he was railroad man in hard
luck and had hoboed his way from
Wisconsin to Hankinson. Early last
week he fell in with fellow hobo
and the latter produced plenty Of grub
at their hold-out east Of town. His
new found friend left, stating that he
was going to Enderlin, but would re.
turn in q day or two. Meantime he in
fo1med his pal that the latter could
ind a quantity of food in the old en-.
gine before mentioned, and it was
while helping himself that his actions
aroused suspicion resulting in his ar
rest. Hs story was so straightforward
that he was released with the consent
Of the 500 detectives.

WRITES ABOUT
SUB-SOILlNC

This feature of preparing the
ground for crops is often mis-
understood by the farmer. A
misapplication of the process or
the use of the implement that
does not fulfill the requirements,
is apt to do more harm than
good.
The subsoi! plow is beneficial
in just two ways; namely first to
assist in storing water in the
deeper subsoils, and second, to
break up a hard pan or compact
soils which exsist below the bot.
tom of the furrow, rendering
them mellow so that they can
easily be penetrated by plant
roots.
If subsoil is brought to the sur
face, or any great quantity is
mixed with the seed-bed, the
fertility of that seed-bed is cor
respondingly lessened, for the
reason that subsoil does not often
contain a sufficient amount of
humus to maintain soil bacteria;
or ic the plow crumbles the soil
below the bottom of the furrow to
such an extent that the large air
spaces are formed, the move
ment of capillary water is re-
tarded and the plant suffers for
moisture.
The Modern Subsoil Plcw, in
fact the only one that has been
devised that fulfills all of the re-
quirements and in no instant can
do harm, is an implement that
cuts a cash in the soil below the
bottom of the furrow. The cut.
ting part is a sharp thin blade,
not more than one-half inch ir
thickness, and attached to the
bottom end Of the cutting blade
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1912-04-26

is detachable point slightly thick
er than the blade. The depth is
regulated by a gauge wheel at
tached to the end of the BEEN.
The implement is not intended
to bring subsoil to the surface,
nor to materially crumble or break
it up, but simply to make an
opening below the depth of the
surface plow for the purpose Of
freely admitting air and water
to the deeper subsoils. The
small point forms a reservoir for
water, and from it water natur-
ally spreads outwards, and obey
ing the law of capillary attract
ion, it moves upwards followed
by air. Air and water acting in
that way mellow the soil thereby
effecually destroying a hard pan
or any extreme compactness OF
the ground that may exist. The
soil below below the bottom of
the furrow may be, and often is,
impervious to water and air from
above, but when these elements
are placed in a lower stratum of
soil the results are remarkable.
The process is nicely shown by
pouring water in a crack in the
floor lays upon an under floor.
Everyone knows that water so
placed, if the crack is covered,
will come up through the boards
by the process of capillary at
traction and in a short time rot
them.
AS a rule it is not necessary to
run the plow more than six or
eight inches deep and only in
every other furrow. Subsoiling
is of no benefit in loose, sandy or
gravel soil.
This type of plow absolutely
solves the problem Of storing
water in semi-arid regions. It
solves the problem of breaking
up a hard pan, making mellow

FLAX EXPERTS
COMING SOON

In view of the fact that the
acreage Of lard which is being
broken up in this state is very
rapidly increasing, and that fax
is crop which is being raised
on this freshly broken land, the
Experiment Station expects to
devote some time during the
month of May towards the teach
ing of the proper methods Of
handling this flax.
We expect to send out two
men, in an automobile, who will
hold a special flax meeting and
give a demonstration Of methods
to be used in putting in flax.
Our Mr.. M. L. Wilson, who
has charge of the demonstration
farms in the eastern part Of the
state, and who has been making
a special study of flax for the
last year, will have charge of the
flax demonstration, and be ac+
companied by Mr.. Bonebright,
who has charge Of the Agricu!-
tural Engineering at the Mont
ana State College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts.
The plan is to hold a meeting
and give practicle field demon
stration, if possible, including
the treatment of seed for flax
diseases. Mr.. Wilson will have
samples Of diseased flax plants,
and will examine flax seed, and
answer any questions pertaining.
to the raising Of flax in your
community.
Mr.. Bonebright is an expert on
traction plowing, and will de-
monstration along the. lines Of
testing and setting the seed drill
for flax, which is very important;
the handling of engine plows and
bitches for the same; rollers, and
various ways OF getting more
efficiency out of steam and gaso-
line engines.
These men will not only talk.
but will actually do the things.
they are talking about, and show
ing your farmers better methods.
in the light of our present scien--
tific knowledge.
1t is the plan to be in Ekalaka
on May 4th, and hold the demon
stration from one to five o'clock
in the afternoon.
