AS yet yields have only been received
IN few of the demonstration plots
of the better farming association. Those
we have, may be of interest as bearing
upon the work of the organization.
1t will be remembered that this as
sociation started plots endeavoring to
demonstrate the best methods of cul-
ture for corn, alfalfa and other crops
not commonly grown and which it has
been thought best to introduce toa
greater extent. The basis of any en-
during agriculture rests on systematic
rotation of crops, For the purpose
then of showing how yields may be in
creased and fertility conserved by such
system plots we're started upon which
rotations are to be followed 1t is self
evident that increased yields and worth
are expected as result Of rotation the
first year. With this in mind it has
been the aim of the association to
obtain somewhat better results, on these
plots than the use of better selected
seed and additional work on the seed
bed, or in modifying the rate of seeding.
Any yields than above the average may
be accounted for from this source
On the farm of H. P, Poe, near Sarles:
Wheat, 20 bushels; oats ~ bushels;
early Ohio potatoes l20 bushels.
On the farm of Howard Mcknight at
Hannah: Wheat, 20 bushels.
On the farm of Robert Murie near
Langdon: Flax, 17.5 bushels: wheat 20
bushels; barley 38 bushels.
The returns from other plots will be
given later.
In regard to the plots of alfalfa and
corn, started in the western and central
portions of the county out of about 3o
plots only two have proven to be failures
these cases being due to the crop being
choked out with weeds 1t is worthy
of noting that upon the demonstration
fields of corn through this portion of the
county approximately 40 bushels of seed
corn have been saved. The corn saved
in all cases IN Northwestern dent. A

The first high school foot ball game
of the season has come and gone.
The Langdon team went to Park
River last Saturday and met the
first defeat of the season. Too many
new boys in the line, inexperience and
lack of foot ball science ace the cause of
sorrow, But how can it be otherwise;
the boys must learn the art or we shall
have no team at all. Yes, our captain
says that the officials at Park River SAW
every off side, rough tackle and misplay
of the Langdon team, but all the crawl
ing, the rough tactics and other fakes of
the River boys went unnoticed. The
ruuor in Park before dinner also went
to the effect that if the"four ringers to
be played against our team, one had
been laid out With a sprained ankle in
their alumni match the Tuesday night
next preceding the Saturdays contest.
Our coach prayed Referee O'Brien to
be fair but once with our team A
witness on the side line gives the follow,
ing resume: "1n the first quarter at the
end of the sixth minute Park River by
hard line bucking and two fake plays
make touch down; the goal followed.
Score 7 to O. The first quarter of ten
minutes past, the boys rested one
minute and then began the gruelling
part of the days battle. After three
minutes of play the River boys seemed
to walk through Langdon's line for
touch down; the kick for goal failed.
In another four minutes the trick was
repeated. Then cane the fifteen
minutes intermission between halves.
Rested the boys went at it again and
suffice it to say held Park River and
outplayed that team twenty minutes
straight. And the Langdon rooters
who though few in number, so ably
stood by the line up with their cheering
had cause to be proud of their repre-
sentatives. We lost; we know "why and
how" Should Park River return the
game we may still show her the art of
fairness and squareness as hosts in an
athletic match. The line up;
