n. D. WINS TROPHY
Highest honors For Agricultural and
Educational Development
Defeated TWENTY-FIVE STATES
North Dakota Bankers Association
Leading Factor in Secur-
Ing Victory

North Dakota carried off
highest honors against twenty
three states in St. Paul last
week when this state was
awarded the cup offered to the
state making the greatest agri-
cultural development and inn
provement in educational con-
ditions in the past year.
This state was selected by
the committee representing the
Bankers agricultural and
educational conference, held in
St. Paul, as the commonwealth
which had made advances more
marked than those of any
other states.
For some time the competi-
ton has been open. Many
states in the northwest have
been competing, but it has re-
mained for North Dakota to
take the lead over all.
Two important factors in Sc
curing the honor for this state
were the North Dakota Bank
ers' association, and the state
aid for rural schools law, pass
ed by the last legislative as
sembly.
The splendid work of the
North Dakota AGRICULTURAL COL
lege, generally regarded as one
of the four best in the union,
with it's splendid sub stations
was another big factor in the
victory.
The five big agricultural
schools, with state support OF
~, 800 each, helped to boost the
good work along.
The effort in behalf of crop
rotation received due considera-
ton. The further fact that
North Dakota had nearly one
hundred boys at the North Da-
kota state fair, under the sup
ervision of the Better Farmin g
movement, was highly regard
ed by the judges.
The state farming associa-
tion occupies a field so vast
that no other state could COM
pete with it. The state aid for
rural schools bill is one that
means vast improvement in
the educational conditions as
affecting the agricultural COM
munities and that fact left the
way open for this state to carry
off the high honor.
It is a great victory for North
Dakota and will have a mate
rial influence in pushing the
state forward, giving it splen-
did opening for whole lot of
free advertising which is sure
to be derived.
Those who attended the big
conference from this state were
Pickett of Leal, Cathro of Bot
tineau, Macfadden and Cooper
of Fargo, Mcdowell of Marion
and Inspector N. G. Mcdonald.

STORM DID DAMAGE SUNDAY
High Winds, Heavy Rains an d
Some Hail Caused Losses
to Several Farmers

Harvest is now in full swing
in all parts of the county ex-
cept the Turtle Mountains
where the ripening period is a
little later than on the prairie.
Even there considerable cut
ting, especially of barley and
oats, has been done. The crop,
where it has escaped damage,
is very heavy and requires an
unusually large amount O
twine per acre to tie it. Many
farmers report. u ST ng three
pounds per acre for wheat and
some a little over that mark.
North of Carbury some dam.
age has been done by a wire
worm." Commissioner Glom.
seth reports considerable loss
in one of his fields. The grain
comes nearly to the ripenine
sta &c and then breaks off close
to the ground.
A severe winds torn, accom-.
panied by heavy rain and in
some places by hail, swept ov-
er strip of country from north
of Kramer in a northeasterly
course to the mountains, pass
ing over this city, late Sunday
afternoon. The wind blew a
gale and the beating rain
lodged considerable grain and
where crops were ripe caused
some shelling. North of Kra-
tner there was some hail.
Duncan Cameron suffered a
loss of 25 per cent on oats and
about ten ON wheat. Others
had similar losses. A granary
on the Angus Cameron farm
was blown off it's foundation.
Northeast of this city the
hail struck again. John Hays
suffered almost a total loss.
The damage was nearly as
heavy on the G. K. Vikan farm.
Chas. Whitteron and p. Z.
Moe were also among the los
ers.
In this city the high wind
ripped awnings, scattered lum-
Der from the yards and tore
down the big tent behind the
Baptist church, where revival
meetings are being held.
Some threshing will be done
next week to take care of the
shortage of oats for feed.

ious matters with a man who
is competent to show him how
new methods may be applied
and adopted on his own farm.
Many of these methods have
been we'll worked out and are
thoroughly de IN on 8 ira t T d..
1t is not the object of the as
sociation at this time to bring
to the people of the state a
great number of new things,
but to bring to them individual
ly these matters which can be
taken up with profit.
Several different forms of
work will be undertaken in
order to bring these objects to
the attention of communities.
They may briefly be classified
under five heads, each of which
has for its object the presenta-
ton of certain we'll known
facts. They. are: demonstra-
ton plats and fields, demon
|stration farms, livestock de-
monstrations; advisory farm
management, including (a)
specific help in soil manage
ment: (b) Planning of the farm
as to certain systems of rota-
ton. (c) Fencing, types of
fences used and methods. (d)
2Relation of livestock to the
farm. (e) Various forms of
building construction, barns,
silos, sanitary conveniences,
etc. f) Drainage. (g) Seed
selection, seed curing, special
cultural methods and crops and
farm accounting.

different heads is of the best
and the districts in which the
Better Farming men are locat-
ed are taking the fullest ad-
vantage of the service offered.

TAFT IN N. J.

RUTHERFORD, May 29.-Chief VIII
kie, of the Secret Service, has been con-
ducting a quiet investigation here into
an attempted attack ON President Taft,
which occurred while the President was
speaking in the public square on Satur-
day night. Mr.. Wilkie put through the
third degree an Italian who is said to
have thrown a package which hit the
President in the face. Thus far no ar
rest has been made.
A statement given out by Frank M.
Buckles, leader of the Taft organization
here, regarding the Italians attack,
says:
"The twelve thousand persons as
sembled in the public square were dis
appointed in not hearing the President
speak because OF the act Of a vandal.
As the package struck the Presidents
face, or came down, scraping his face,
he was about to speak, but the secret
service men pushed him back In his seat
and took charge of affairs. They ordered
the car ahead at full speed through the
crowd, not knowing what was in the
paper, and got away. Later they in
formed me that the paper had been
soaked in water to make 1t heavy"
