last night .singularly corresponded in
two respects with the conclusions Of the

Chairman Stanley's bill which deals
with corporations which control over
% per cent OF the domestic product Of a

made an error in confusing a rebuttal
presumption of unreasonableness with
an absolute prohibition In the cases Of
corporations OF tnat sort; but that ts a
mistake which any man might make on
superficial examination of the Stanley
Brandeis bill.
II know the world is censorious, and
fear 1t might say that the minority had
purloined the coloners views, II / were
to neglect to point out that we gave
our views to the press several hours
earlier than the colonel gave out his

The convenience of this To-,
cation is of even greater i'm
portance to those who work
every day. And it greatly
enhances the valuation of the
Columbia Heights homes.
There is no other home value
comparable with these Co.
lumbia Heights homes at the
price and terms, aside from
the advantages of the con-
venience of the location.
Needless to say, Columbia

for it's refined residential
neighborhood as for the con-

GROW WINTER RYE
Thomas Cooper, Secretary of Better
Farming Association, Says That
Crop Will Do Great Good.

That winter rye has many advan-
tages as a crop and that it should be
grown to a greater extent in North
Dakota, is the statement made by
Thomas Cooper, secretary Of the
North Dakota Better Farming asso-
citation. One of its chief advantages,
according to Mr.. Cooper. is that it
aids in the control Of a number of the
p%estiferous weeds, prevalent in the
state.
Fall rye is one of the most valua-
bic grains that a be grown in many
of the counties Of the state" he said.
1T should be sown on we'll prepared
land, although it frequently does very
we'll when stubbled in. Stubble land
used for the rye crop should have
been previously we'll plowed, mellow
and reasonably free from weeds"
The farmer should use care in
planting winter rye he declares. 1t
should be sown about the middle or
latter part of August. at the rate Of
one and one-half bushels to the acre,
and should be planted deeper than is
usual with the spring grains, three
inches or ven deeper II necessary to
get to moisture. The grain usually
survives the winter without protec-
ton from stubble.
