phoid.
Was Born In Indiana.
Wilbur Wright was born on farm
near Milleville, Henry county, Indi-
ana, in 1867. His father, Rev. Milton
Wright, was then a presiding elder Of
the United Brethren church.
When Wilbur was still a child his,
father removed to Dayton, Ohio, and
it was there that Orville Wright, who,
was associated with flying machines,
was born.
The boys invented telegraph instru-
ments, printing machinery, then be-
gan building Bicycles and then turned
their inventive genius to the study
of aviation. They became interested
in the experiments Of German scien-
fist, Lilienthal, who lost his life in:
one Of his heavier-than-air gliders.
The Wright brothers went on expe-
rimenting quietly in Dayton. In 1904
their machine had assumed it's pres
emit type. That was two years after
they had made their first fight. They
worked together and refused to dis
ouss their invention. Nobody but
themselves knew what part either had
had in the invention.
The great triumphs of Wilbur
Wright and his brother came to them
In France. when they took their ma
chine over for exhibition purposes.
Their vogue was almost unparalleled.
The great impetus which they gave to-
the science Of aviation resulted in
aviation meets In almost every civil
lizea country.
They earned good deal Of money
during their stay abroad, and this
msnsy they have devoted largely to-
building new machines and seeking to-
improve On their own design.
In 1911 they acquired 1000 acres Of
land ct Kitty Hawk, N. c., where they
had first flown in 1900. They planned
to build great laboratory and expe-
riment station on the farm, where
they could carry on their work to-
gether In proper seclusion. Wilbur.
Wright was awarded gold medal by
the French Academy Of Science in
1905, and the same year was given. an
honorary 3. 8. by Earlham college.

very slight to almost complete d.

Various methods OF fghtiug have

discing to stimulate growth, grazing
with sheep. drawing street sweeper

burning the stubbles. Attempts are
also being made to introduce parasites

The bulletin referred to does not
say anything rs to the measures that
should be adopted in uninfested

Will occur through the migration of

clear that invasion may come in 9TH

1t would be nothing short of a cal
amitv to have this insect introduced
into Montana where the future prom
ises so much in regard to the growing
of alfalfa and also alfalfa seed. 1t
would seem to be emlnently wise to
make sure in all areas where alfalfa
is imported that it does not come
from an infested region. Whether
the insect can live in an area with
winters like Montana and the Dako-

bad that land should be treated thus,
The farmers themselves are in part
TO blame for such blowing. They
should not tolerate it. If an agree
ment has been properly made, both
parties should live up to it. If u
written agreement has not been made.
such an omission is Il mistake. When
a man agrees to plow land five or six
inches, he should either do it or 60
without II part Of his pay. If such
plOwing were not tolerated it would
not be done. But many farmers are
too easily satisfied. They too readily
listen to the delusion that three or
four inches is deep enough to plow.
II the makers of power plows are
wise. they will look carefully into
this question. They do not know
probably that u prejudice is rising
up in the minds of many against such
plowing and against implements that
do il. Should they not be more care

important mission if they will only
rightly fulfill it. The help they can
give in turning over the stiff sod
lands of the prairie is of very great
value, but it should be rightfully
rendered. If it is not, the day will
come when these power machines
may be reglegated to the junk heap.
Is it not fact that farmers of the
west are going Il little too fast in the
breaking up of their land? Would it
not be better in every way to break
less land and to break it as it ought
to be broken? Even in the present
season which was very favorable to
growth the crop OH we'll prepared
land was vastly better than on that

Is it not a good plan for the home-
steader to break up much of his land
with good brood maresy Is is not
quite as good to break up much of it
with mules? Would it not be still
better plan to break up much of it
with oxen? Oxen are good property

BAD FLOWING
IN MONTANA
(By Prof. Thos. Shawl

(lsy Prof. Thos. Shawl
Much Of the blowing that is done in
the western Dakotas and Montana is
nothing short of menace to the i'm
mediate future of crop production, be-
cause Of its wretched character.
Some OF the poor plowing is done by
the farmers themselves, but more.
much Of it is done by those who use
power plows and do the work ut so
much an acre. Much of the work
that those men do is simply wretched
in character. No milder term will
titly apply to it.
The land plowed is turned over in
part by the mould board plows and
in part by disk plows. The character
Of much of the plowing done by those
power plows will be made apparent
in the following demonstrations, con-
Quoted ut MOccasin in the Judith Ba-
sin OH the experimental farm at that
place July 25th. The occasion was
the holding of u monster picnic of two
to three thousand people ut the farm.
Two power plOws were ut work. One
was mOuldbOard and the other Il
disk plOw. What was the character
of the work done? The mouldboard
plOw turned the sod over at depths
varying from two to six inches. In
some places there were two skips.
Some of the burrows were thrown oy-
er quite OH the top Of the burrows ad-
Jacent to them. thus making u crown
Of earth and depression alongside
OF 1t, such as would call tor great Ia.
Dor to put it III al even condition,
and when 50 evened, many sods
would lie OH the surface in u way that
would interfere with the narrowing
OF the grain crop that follows. The
disk plOw had toru the sod into FUR
row slices Of varying depths and
lengths. Some of these lay with the
grass side down and some with the
grass side up. Some of them lay OH
the edge and they lay lengthwise and
crosswise and at all angles. 1t could
not be- Travelled over by man or beast
without labored effort. And that was
u demonstration Ii these are the
kiEd Of demonstrations that those
with power pl0ws give, what must be
! the character of the plOwing that Is
not y demonstration? l do not say
that all the pl0wing thus done by
power pl0ws is Of that character, but
much Of 1t IL. have heard it spoken
OF rs rascally.
The ground that was turned over
with the disk plOw at Moccasin would
be exceedingly difficult to pulverize.

eept by using on it very heavy cut

was cut in pieces. When thus fined

splendid successes they are from year

Everybody is feeling good over the

wheat, oats and flax are going to be
the best ever, and the agricultural
display this year will be worth going

There will be all kinds at sports OF

mittee pays every prize agreed upon.
The result of this keeping good faith
with the people in every respect rs
agreed results in ore of the finest
agricultural exhibits ever shown in
the state, and tremendous attend
ance of outside people to the celebra-
items. The agricultural exhibits are
the marvel Of all who visit the big
tent every year. Last year Prof.
SHAW, who awarded the premiums,
said it was the best exhibit for a new
country he had ever seen. He thought
80 much Of it that he arranged to ship
nearly the entire exhibit to st. Paul
where the Great Northern exhibition
cars were supplied with the same,
while y portion was. placed on perma-
nent exhibition at the display rooms
of that railroad in st. Paul.
This wear the exhibit promises to
be larger and better than the previous
'Ones. The crops in places are much
better than ever before. The farm
ers are loyal to the celebration and
save the best samples Of their pro-
ductR. They are loyal to the co,ln-
try, and take as much interest in
showing what can be done in this
section from All agricultural stand
point az though they had thousands
OF acres o.sell, which they have not.
Without their hearty cooperation
these celebrations would not be the
