Fargo.-That the crop outlook for
the coming year in North Dakota is
the best in years is the assertion OF
farmers and crop experts alike. This
is a FROST year, declare the farmers
and az a result, they look for big
things at harvest time. Last year and
the year before, North Dakota's crops
nj was lack of moisture. Farm
ers say moisture is assured this
because the frost penetrated so deep
into the ground. Measurements show
it; went down to the depth of eight
feet. Last fall, heavy rains fell just
before the freeze-up and there will be
enough moisture to insure a good crop.
The first seeding Of the 1912 season
in North Dakota was begun near Lis
bon, in Ransom county, in the heart
of the grain growing district.
Farm machinery houses throughout
the state began sending out drills,
drags and potato planters. Several
gas tractors were set at work yester-
day discing land in preparation for the
crop. Farmers say The. soil never
worked up better.
H. L. Bolley, state seed commission
er and an authority of national re-
pute, says:
Crop prospects in North Dakota
were never better than right now.
Plenty of moisture, a general awak-
ening to the value of pure seed. and
an enthusiastic desire on the part of
the states farmers to take advantage
of scientific farming methods will get
North Dakota the biggest crop in her
history, If weather conditions con-
tinue good" M
Thos. Copper, head of the North
Dakota Better Farming association.

farmers up-to-date methods in diver.

ors says:
Everything is in excellent shape.
The soil is working UP fine and our
men report excellent progress every.
where. More corr and livestock will
be raised this year than ever before
and more farmers will practice crop
rotation"

Workers.

indianapolis, April 3.-With only
one OF two exceptions, the suspension
in the coal mining industry of the
country which went into effect at mid
night Sunday night when the wage
contracts between the members of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the bituminous and anthracite coal
operators expired, was general, and
approximately 400, 900 miners are out
of work, the country will miss more
than 100000 tons of coal and the
wages. st
President John P. White, of the
miners, before starting for his home
in Oskaioosa. Iowa. said thai he ex-
pected the bituminous men to ratify
the Cleveland agreement and return
to work, probably by April 20. He
also predicted a speedy adjustment
of a wage contract in the anthracite
field when the miners and operators
meet in Philadelphia on April 10. The
ballots for the referendum vote on
the bituminous agreement are being
prepared in the national headquarters
here, and it is believed they will be
returned here by April Is.
The only exception to the general
suspension. which came to the notice
OF the miners officials here. was in
two railroad mines at Evansville, Ind,
in which the men continued at work
with the understanding they are to
receive the new scale Of wages.
No trouble has been reported from
any district. and pumpmen and other
mon required to keep the property in

THE CORNER CUTTER.
INeokuk Gate City.l


The Jacksonville Courier very prop
e,lv calls attention to the fact that
something ought to be done about that
rest which infests every town and city,
the corner cutter" Many a citizen has
worked all his spare time trying to
raise a crop of grass on his lot or on
the little plot OF street bordering his
premises. only to have his efforts multi
fed by those persons who cut across
the corners. to save half dozen steps.
The Peoria Herald transcript also has
timely word on the subject as fol-
lows:
Nothing is more unsightlv on an
otherwise pretty street than lot or
bit of frontage worn bald by the trail
OF these hurry-up slovens. There are
any number OF Peorians who suffer
from this species and who would like
TO have some practical means Of deal
ing with them. The 'corner-cutter'
will begin his regular depredattons
with the opening of spring. 1t is time
to prenare for war
Every corner cutter" should be ar
rested and fined for trespass. That
would soon break UP the pernicious
practice.
