The new creamery and ice cream

There is a large and fertile territory

Elgin's large and substantial steel

one on the Cannonball line between
Mandan and Mott.
Elgin is to have a new $4,000 public
school building in the near future.
People of this vicinity are in favor

LADIES Doing
BETTER FARMING

Jamestown, N. D., May s.--The men
are not the only apostles Of good
farming. The ladies are taking a
hand in the work and-when the la
dies get after anything it has to
come, surely.
Co. Supt. Mary McGinnis is doing
a little Better Farming missionary
work herself and heads the corn and
potato contest among the school chill
dren OF the county. She has received
about 800 applications for seed corn
and nearly rs many applications for
seed potatoes. Each applicant gets
600 kernels of corn or twelve potatoes
as they may request. First 500 kerr
nels of corn were laboriously counted
out and then the quantity measured.
Field Deputies Mary Cusator and
Eva Dunstan have been busy for
some time distributing the seed. Miss
Cusator has been working in the west
ern part of the county and Miss Dun
stan in the eastern and southern part.
They take the supplies to the nearest
town and then those in the outlying
districts com, in for their supplies.
That the work is going to be pro-
ductive of much good is shown by
the large number of applications and
the interest in the work. This year
over 500 applications have been re-
ceived for seed as against 1873 last
year. Some thirty bushels Of Early
Ohio potatoes have been used for
seed and two bushels Of Minnesota
No. 20 seed corn. The corn is tested
and tried, from the state agri-
cultural college, and is accompanied
by printed matter from the college in
regard to corn culture.

Be CAREFUL ABOUT
FLAX FOR SEED
FLAX SEED THRAsHED FROM I'M.
DER THE SNOW NOT RELIABLE
FOR SOWING PURPOSES WITH
OUT BEING TESTED. SAYS PRO-
FEssoR BoLLEY.


From the very large number of
termination tests which we have made
at this Laboratory / have ascertained
that there is a considerable PROBABLE
ity that some people make bad
mistakes with regard to using weak
fax seed for sowing purposes said
Prof. II. L. Bolley.
Some hundreds of farmers have
written us letters and sent us samples
Of the seed which they have thrashed
this spring from fax which laid under
the snow all winter. Some of these
samples have given very reasonable
examinations. Many others show plain.
ly that the seed should not be relied
upon for sowing purposes, v 6 though
it appears to be bright and plump.
Evidently flax seed which was frozen
while damp has had its vitality de-
stroyed.
i am saying this to warn growers
that they should test the sprouting
ability of such wintered flax seed be-
fore buying it, or at least before using
It for seed. While 1t is late, we viii
yet be glad to do anything we can d
the way Of termination tests. If you
wish us to make q test for you send
in samples Immediately

Valley city, N. D., May "A
funny stunt was pulled off in this
city Tuesday. There are three
prisoners confined in the county
jail, being held to the district court
one on a charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon and the other
two charged with blind pigging.
The first mentioned is held under
$1,000 bonds and he has been MAX
ing strenuous efforts to get bail,
but without success. Yesterday,
however, his attorney appeared
before the trial judge with a bond
for $500, just half the amount, and
requested the judge to accept 1t.
The judge took it and, looking it
over, discovered that the sureties
were the two blind piggers. The
"bond'' vas refused and the at
torney informed that the prisoner
would not be released until a
proper bond for the full amount
was rendered.
