Coal Mine Afire

Medora, N. D., Now, 1l.-Fire broke
out Friday in the mine that was opened
up on the Nicholos homestead by j. M.
Brady last summer and the heat and
smoke drove the laborers out. In the
evening the timbers supporting the
roof caught fire and burned away, al
lowing parts of the shaft to fall in; the
fire shot several feet into the air and
could be seen at some distance. When
Mr.. Brady came upon the fire in the
coal he kept it covered carefully, know
ing what fire would do if allowed air;
and the men working there later un-
covered the burning coal and it got
beyond their control. Saturday they
started another shaft at lower level
and at one side of the burned one, hop
ing to go under the burning coal and
come up behind it.
:, The mine from which the town has
been obtaining its coal caved in last
week, and it is now necessary to open
another one. When the crew.. working
for ]. M. Brady took the coal out they
were careless of the condition in which
they left the mine, often leaving in
sufficient coal in the columns for support
of the roof; it was this that caused the

Don't Sow Wheat After Rye

Andrew Boss, Agriculturist, Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul: Complaint is being
received this fall that spring wheat is
coming into the Minneapolis market
containing mixture of rye. The mix
ture is caused by growing wheat on
land that raised rye last year, the rye
appearing as volunteer crop. The
rye in the wheat is detrimental to its
use for flour making purposes, and the
millers and grain buyers naturally dis
criminate against the mixture.
1t is suggested that trouble along
this line can be avoided by following
the rye crop with coarse feed crop or
with hay crop if possible. This can
easily be provided for by the proper
arrangement of crops in rotation. A
six-year rotation of rye, timothy and
clover, pasture, corn, wheat, rye and
oats, would be satisfactory, where
these crops can be used. 1t is some
what more difficult to have the oats
follow the rye in short rotation if the
grasses are used. A crop rotation
must always be arranged with view
to the kind of farming that a person is
doing, and to supply the feed and mar
ket demands.
1t is believed that the mixture of rye
in the spring wheatssis serious enough
to justify sowing oats or feed barley
after the rye crop, or using rye as q
nurse crop in seeding down.

Roads To Carry
Free Of Charge
Railroads to Encourage the Plant
ing Of Shade Trees In the State
Of North Dakota

In order to encourage the planting of
trees in North Dakota, railroads passing
through the state have agreed to carry
free of charge freight shipments of
trees and shrubbery which are ordered
by municipalities, counties or townships
says the Bismarck Tribune. The rail-
roads would include individuals, but in
terstate commerce laws make it impos-
sible to do so.
Several agencies, including the North
Dakota Better Farming association and
the North Dakota Agricultural college,
will wage campaign to induce COM
munities to take steps to plant more
trees. Trees are one of the great needs
of the state, say the experts. The rail-
roads themselves are taking the lead
and trees are being planted across the
state on the right of way of every rail-
road operating here.
"The drifting of soil is one of the
big problems of farming in the north
west," says w. C. Palmer of the North
Dakota Agricultural college. ''At the
Canadian Experiment station in Saska-
toon this problem has been solved, and
the planting of trees was the solution.
"When the station was started 25
years ago, it was fiat prairie. Now
from short distance the farm looks
like forest. A belt Of trees two or
three yards wide has been planted
around the entire farm and the fields
are separated by double rows of trees.
These trees break the force of the wind
and the soil no longer drifts"

The Athletic Association of last year
