GREATEST wheat CONTEST
GAS TRACTOR The PRIZE

A Big Four gas tractor and Emerson
plows. valued at SIS, 600.
is the prize offered for the best: five
bushels of wheat exhibited at the North
western Products Exposition in Mime
apolis from November 18th to 23rd.
Any farmer in the northwest can enter
the contest and no doubt there are
many farmers in the Slope country who
could exhibit wheat above the average
quality and yield. Any farmer wishing
to enter the contest must obtain a blank
from the secretary of the Commercial
Club in one of the towns, to whom these
blanks are sent. The questions to be
answered in the blank are the variety of
wheat. size of field, name of thresher.
average to the acre and when shipped.
If any of these statements are found to
be false. the prize will have to be for
feited. @
This contest, involving S., 600. is the
greatest wheat prize contest in the
world and it is hoped that farmers on
the Slope country will be among the
competitors. ~.

NATIONAL FOREST WORK
WILL INCREASE RANGE

Secretary Wilson of the United States
Department of Agriculture has decided
to establish an experiment station on
the Manti National Forest near E.
phraim. Utah. for the study of grazing
and water protection problems. In fact
bids for the construction of the neces-
;saty. buildings have been received and
it is expected to have the station in
working order before winter. Already
the gathering Of observations on the re-
latiens Of erosion and run-off to the for
est cover have begun.
The Manti National Forest was chosen
as the site for this experiment station
because it offers exceptionally good
opportunities, for investigating prob
lens of practical value in connection
with regulated grazing. Ephraim and
other towns in it's neighborhood have
suffered severely from foods following
violent transforms in the mountains,
and it has already been proved conclu-
sively that the overgrazed condition of
areas on which the natural vegetative
v has been seriously altered is re-
sponsible for the formation of torrents
and. the rapid discharge Of debris-laden
floodwaters.
The National Forests provide range
during a part or all Of the year for a
considerable part of the stock produced
in the western states. Approximately
one and one-half million head of cattle
and horses and seven and one-half mil
lion head of sheep and goats occupy the
Forest lands each year. These figures
do not include NEARLY three hundred
thousand calves and over four million
lambs and kids for which permits are
not required.
The experts of the department believe
that when the ranges which were de-
nuded by many years of improper use
are restored t. a normal condition of
productivity it will be possible to pro-
vide feed for a much larger number of
stock without injury to forest growths
or watersheds. and both the stockgrower
and the consumer of meat products will
thus be benefited. Consequently every
effort is being made to determine prac-
ticabIe means of reaenerating depleted
RANGES.

COWS WORKING overtime
RESULTS OF DAlRYINe

Tom Stevens, who lives ten miles OF
so northwest of Hettinger, who has
been a reader of the PRESS for years
and years and who in the days gone by
conducted what was then known as the
Stevens ranch. finds that the cream
checks which he received in a little
over a year make a total of 1866. 80
pounds of butter fat for which he re-
ceived in cash $S40..24.
Mr.. Stevens was one of the first of
the old-time ranchers to e that. when
the settlers came in the thing to do
was to produce less beef and more but
ter. With the grazing area u down
he decided that it would henceforth be
necessary for him to make good use of
his COWS. In other words to make them
work owe time. Up to that time his
COWS were considered good property if
they would produce a calf apiece for
him each year. which calf a allowed
to roam at will over the prairie for q
period of about three years then to be
sent to the Chicago market. But when
the settlers came in, Tom came to the
conclusion that he must change his
ways and prevail upon his COWS to de-
likewise. Accordingly he selected cows
that were good mixers and that in ad-
dition 70 raising a calf each year would
produce several dollars worth of cream
each month.
The recruits Of Mr.. Stevens effort along
this line are told in the first paragraph
of this article $s40.24 fora little over
q years cream.

fOr 1undS Tor just this KIND OF WORK.
The levy will create a fund of ST, 900 to
ST.. 100. Commissioners Leutz. Hughes
and Roquette have acted very cautious
ly in laying plans for the expenditure
this money. A number OF the 16 coun-
ties comprising the Missouri Slope De-
velopment league turned portion of
their immigration fund over to the par
,ent league at once but our commission
ers took plenty of time to investigate.
In the first place. the board decided
that it was a judicious expenditure of
the fund to make a distinctive Stark
county exhibit at Bismarck. The best
grains and grasses in the county have
been selected for the booth which the
county is preparing at Bismarck and
later a choic e collection of vegetables
will be secured. The space selected is
the same as used last year by the Ii
brary commission and is considered one
of the best in the main building. The
interior of the booth will be composed
Of fixed prices. which can be used at
will It other places. p
j. v. Slossen. manager of the Mis-
souri, Slope Development league, was
present when the Commercial Club COM
mittee waited or the county commits
sioners and explained the methods by
which he vas going to make a grand
display of our products at Minneapolis
and Chicago. The space alone at the
Flour City costs 5000 and it will be
even more at Chicago, hence the i'm
portance of banding together for the
combined display Of many counties in
this territory. 1t would be out Of the
question for a single county to make a
creditable showing.
The county board finally decided that
Stark should be represented at the cas-
tern expositions which will be visited
in November by several hundred thou
sand people from the Middle West. An
appropriation of 5000 was made the par
ent development league for entering the
county and $50 was appropriated for
advertising purposes, the plan being to
have some one at each of the shows to
distribute Stark county literature 10
those visitors who show an interest in
our country. The commissioners also
voted to turn over anything left
from the $500 appropriated for the Bis
marck end for advertising our county at
Minneapolis and Chicago.
Mr.. Cryne, who is in charge of the
county's exhibit at Bismarck. will CO.
operate as far as possible in the North
western Products shows and as soon as
the. state exposition is closed. the
county's products will be available fol-
other places.
The commissioners of Stark county did
not think it wise to expend all the i'm
migration fund this year and it is esti.
mated that SOME $3.50 will be left over.
Anyway the 1912 expenditure is to be
held dow n to $3.50. With the exper.
fence of this year and the material on
hand, it is more than likely that in
1913 the board could make a credi.
table display at several expositions
with the balance on hand. and it would
not be necessary to make any levy for q
year at least.
All and all, it looks as though oul
commissioners had arranged the matter
in a very good way. The people whit
visit the state exposition mex month
and the product shows the following
month will have a chance to judge.

ELECTION SIGNIFICANCE
VOTE IN VERMONT AND MAINE

The election in Vermont is; no longer
a matter of conjecture That 'rockrib-
bed republican state. ono that has never
before failed to respond with q great.
majority for the republican ticket in. a;
presidential year has been. placad in,
the doubtful column and islno longefaa
fortress and a safe refuge f6irt anything
in the way of a candidate that the
republican party may choosetc tnomi-
nate. ST. Itasf
The Vermont election to, ID sure was
for state officers only but II shows the
trend of political thinking ID this cam
paign. A comparatively unknown
young Congregational Apreacher; coming
from the little town q Randolph. with
an organization built up ia the past five
weeks, polled wei l5.!000syotes against
a very popular republican and with. one
of the most popular and clean democrats
in the state running as a counter attrac-
ton. To say that the pr ogressive party
is not a factor to be reckoned with is to
wilfully misstate+a self-evident fact,
for the Vermont result shows the pro-
gressive party to be one of. the remark
able political movements Of our: history.
To summarize the, showi ng made in
Vermont it is only necessary to state
that out of a total vote which will close
ly approximate s., 600, the republican
candidate received about Is, 900. or a
triHe over one-third. When it is remem-
bered that Vermont's usual republican
majority in a presidential year is about
the total vote of the republican candi-
date this year the tremendous signifi-
canoe of the Vermont result will be ap-
parent.
Vermont is q conservative state. It is
the most intensely Yankee of all the
old group of New England states. 1t
has been unswerveing in its fidelity to
conservative ideals and it's citizenship
has been extremely hard to arous 10 a
movement which meant the severance
of all old party ties. Vermont has
done the impossible and has shattered
its republicanism beyond the hope of
repair.
Maine swung back into the republi-
can column Tuesday but only by some
5000 majority. s.
But republican exultation over the re-
suit in Maine should be tempered by the
thought that it is in fact a progressive
victory for the republican organization
in Maine is progressive from top to bot
tom, the fight bet tween Roosevelt and
TAFT having been fought out last June
when the primaries were held and the
entire delegation to Chicago instructed
to vote first, last and all the time fol-
Roosevelt.
The primary resulted too in the com
plete overthrow of the old machine
which was supporting Taft and the pro-
gr essive wing of the party placed ir
power. During the late campaign there
was not a candidate on the republican
ticket sufficiently foolhardy 10 support
Taft in his speeches. Mr.. Haines, thu
successful candidate for governor. is {
progressive and the most influential re.
publican newspapers in Maine claim
that Roosevelt will carry the state in
November.
The day following the election thu
progressive party was separately organ
lied in Maine.

CURIOUS WORK OF PENANcE
Ancient Buddhist Of Japan Writes
10000 Words on Piece OF Paper
t3 by ne Inches.

For some time there has been
shown in San Francisco a piece of
paper 13 inches by 71a inches, on
which there are written 126, 900 words.
This writing is the work of KobO
Taishi. a Buddhist Of Japan, who lived
LOO years ago. Before his time his
countrymen used only Chinese char
acters in writing and he evolved the
idea of the japanese alphabet.
The writing on the paper is so fine
that microscope has to be used to
decipher the intricate japanese char
scters. It is an exact copy of eight
books of the Buddhist Bible, and
was written by the author as a sort OF
penance to purify his spirit. 1t is the
property of a descendant of the writer
and has passed as sacred heirloom
from father to son for a thousand
years. Every precaution has been
taken to insure the safety OF the
document. In case Of white wood Is
