WEATHER FINE, SEEDING IS on.
FARMERs AWARE THAT EVERY
MOMENT 70 PRECIOUS.
Operations Prevalent Throughout
State-Red River Prospects
Good.

EdT6O. OuTluS the last week
the North Dakota farmers have seed
ed thousands Of acres. The wealth.
er has been ideal, the government
thermometer registering 80 degrees
throughout the day. Farmers, aware
that every moment 10 precious, have
put every available team in the field
and are rushing work in order to get
all their seeding done before the rain,
which prophets say is almost due, ow-
Ing to the extremely warm weather.
The weather bureau predicts con-
tinuation of the warm weather.
Reports from over the state indicate
that every effort is being made to get
in as much grain as possible each day
in anticipation of q rain.
Crop conditions were never better
in any section of the state, say re-
ports. Through the Red River val
ley crop prospects are said to be the
best in history. Similar conditions
prevail in the Golden valley on the
Montana state line in the western part
of the state.
The slope country, just west of the
Golden valley, is busy putting in the
crop. Gas tractor plows broke many
hundreds of acres in that section last
fall and the states grain acreage will
be materially increased this year as
a result.
Seventy-five gas tractor outfits have
worked In the southwestern part of
the state, breaking land for two years.
Much of this was planted to flax a
year ago and this land will be put into
diversified crops this season.

all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops. four Of them
were first class, one Of them q very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last If
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and In 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about

SHOW AT DEVILS LAKE.
Many Fine Pedisreed Horses Are
r Shown. se5E.,e3

Devils Lake-Apparently unmindful
of snow and rain, hundreds Of farm
ers of the lake region gathered at
Devils Lake, to see the first big horse
fair and show ever attempted in this
section Of the state.
So many high-bred animals were
brought to the show that it was found
necessary to increase the classes to
include all the entries. While there
were not enough silver trophy cups
for all classes, arrangements were
made to make the prizes satisfactory.
The show was conducted without q
hitch and the program delighted the
visitors, who went home more thor.
oughly convinced than ever that the
best horses in the country can be
raised In the lake region.

EXPERIMENT TREES.
Mccumber and Gronna are Sure the
Farmers Bill Will Pass.

Washington.-Both Senator Nc.
Cumber and Senator Gronna are con-
fident the senate will pass the McCum-
Der bill appropriating 100000 for the
establishment of an experiment sta
ton at Mandan. Senator McCumber
introduced this bill in the sixty-first
congress and again in the sixty-second
congress, and has been pressing it
from time to time since. Owing to
the fact that the committee on agri-
culture was without permanent
chairman for some time following the
death of the late Senator Dolliver of
Iowa. no action was taken on the
measure until few days ago, when
Senator Gronna, who is a member of
the committee, cooperating with his
colleague, secured favorable report.
The idea of Senator McCumber in
introducing this bill originally was
that it would be splendid thing if
the government established an expert
ment station in North Dakota pri-
marily for the purpose of experiment.
ing with trees, shrubs, fruits and ber-
ries. The state is among the few
which are classed as "treeless," and
the senator believes that experts of
the government can determine, If
proper facilities are afforded, what
trees, shrubs, ETC., will do best in the
soil and climate, not only of North
Dakota. but other "treeless" states.
The senator predicts that great bene-
fit will accrue to North Dakota and
other states following the establish
ment of the Mandan experiment sta.
ton.
The North Dakota authorities. of
course, will cooperate heartily with
the federal experts in the work of
experimentation.
"The people of North Dakota would
be glad to plant trees If they knew
what to plant" said Senator Gronna
to the committee on agriculture. 1--WE
would gladly conserve our trees If
we had any to conserve"
In reply to the objection that the
proposal to establish the station at
Mandan was new departure, Sena-
tor Gronna said that it was not nee
essarily bad thing to establish a
precedent. However, he allayed the
fears of his committee colleagues by
reminding them that similar appro-
priation could not be demanded for
many other states since the same con.
ditions prevail only in a very few. He
said he was afraid if the matter were
left entirely to the discretion of the
secretary of agriculture or his agents
probably long time would pass be-
fore anything was done, because, in
the very nature of things, they could
not begin to know conditions like the
men who have lived for many years
in the northwestern country.

Wnlcn 6ne was stricken about a. year
ago. Her brother, Stephen Barton,
OF Boston, was with her when she
died.
Miss Barton was born at oxford.
Mass, in 1891.
Clara Barton might properly be
called Florence Nightingale of Amer
ica." Like her British prototype, her
works of mercy were not confined to
her native land, but were carried even
into the Eastern hemisphere. She
will be written down in history as the
founder of the Red Cross in America.
but her powerful personality also
made an indelible impression upon
the international organization itself
through her active participation in
the periodical conferences At Geneva.
Carlsruhe. Rome. Vienna and st.
Petersburg.
Miss Barton was 40 years of age
when she first turned her attention to
the great works of humanity which
have made her name famous.
Her experience as a school teacher
and the organizer of public school sys.
TENS in New Jersey taught her meth.
odicaf habits and gave her the ex-
perience in executive work which
made her a commanding figure in the
direction of Red Cross affairs.
That organization was established
in America in 1881 and Miss Barton
was its president from that date until
1904. Before that time she had made
name for herself by services on
battlefields. beginning in the civil
war and extending through the Fran.
co-Prussian war. Congress recognized
her good Offices in the first case by an
appropriation of $4,000 to be dis
bursed by her in searching for missing
men after the various great battles of
the war.
Work Becomes Extended.
Miss Barton's work became more
extended with the organization of the
American Red Cross and covered the
new field of catastrophes in time of
peace. She distributed relief to the
sufferers from the Johnstown flood
and went to Russia in 1892 to carry
food to the famine sufferers there.

istering to the destitute survivors of
the tidal wave which struck South
Carolina and Florida. In 1896 she was
aiding the Armenian families decimat-
ed by the Turks, and when yellow
fever appeared among the American
troops in Cuba following the battles
around Santiago, it was Clara Barton
who at the request of President Nc
Kinley, organized field hospitals and
personally spent her time on the bat
tie lines. Her last work of national
importance was in connection with
the great Galveston food relief in
1900.
She resided for the last seven years
at her home at Glen Echo, Nd, on the
banks of the upper Potomac. During
her life time she received many deco
rations from foreign countries in rec
ognition of her services to humanity
and her varied experiences have been
recorded in various forms in her
liberal contributions to literature,
mostly relating to the activities Of the
Red Cross.

END SEEMS NEAR

Majority of Million Miners Are
Ready to Return to
Work.

LONDON, March 2S@The end of the
national coal strike, which has sorely
affected many millions in the United
Kingdom during the past four weeks,
is believed to be at hand. No doubt
appears to exist in the minds of many
people that the majority Of the million
miners who left their work March l
are anxious to return to the pits, and
when the occasion offers will vote in
favor of the proposal to resume.
Most of them, 1t Is believed, would
even return to the pits Immediately,
but in each district there Is a small
section of determined extremists who
oppos any action until the vote, which
has been called for on the question Of
resumption Of work or continuance Of
the strike has been cast and counted.
It is these out and out fighters who
are causing the trouble which necessi-
tated the dispatch yesterday of troops

been proceeding for some days in the
Brynkinalle collieries, and to Cannock,

made last night to prevent the men
