HARD TO CONDUCT
A STATE SURVEY
PROF. HERBERT "A. HARD OF A. C..
WILL CONDUCT NORTH DAKOTA
SOIL SURVEY DESPITE LACK OF
APPROPRIATE foN-HusTLED UP
FUNDS HIMSELF.

Despite the lack of an appropriation
for the annual soil and geological sur
vey for North Dakota, through the eff
ficient efforts Of Prof. Herbert A. Hard
of the agricultural college, portions of
the state will nave a survey this year.
Professor Hard went out and hustled
up sufficient funds from contributions
from public spirited citizens to con-
duct the survey in connection with the
government appropriation which was
allotted to certain counties of North
Dakota.
The federal soil bureau in cooper
alton with the state survey annually
spends about $4,000 in North Dakota
| said Professor Hard. 1.-THE recent veto
of the increase of the state a~pproprfas
ton made 1t appear for awhile that
little work would be done this sum
mer. AS it is the survey will lose 81
900 OF federal money for want of a
paltry $1,000.
Next year federal aid is again prom
ised-making a basis Of full co-opera-
ton once in two years until such time
as state officials are aroused to the
real needs of the farmers and bust
ness men. This years partial federal
cooperation is made possible through
business men in the counties coming
to the state surveys aid

out again. .
Said She Had Gone.
To John Pekios, a hired man, Staff
is said to have remarked that she had
left the place. Then he made the re-.
mark about his ability as a marks
man, and fired the bullet into the end
of the barrel. Staff had, a few min
utes previous, walked around the
house, and had gone within about
twenty feet of where the barrel Was
The testimony Of the children was
to the effect that they could see their
mothers skirts outside Of the barrel
from the house, and the state will
make the point that Staff must have
known that she was in there when he
fired. .... +a..... ID,
After firing the bullet Staff talked
with Pekios several minutes. They
discussed seeding operations and gen
eral work around the farm. Then Staff
went to the house, and soon hurried
out again, going to Pekios and saying
that he had shot his wife, n that he
must hitch up a team and notify the
authorities. '. T. I'd

TRANSFORMING
ALFALFA PLANTS
EXPERIMENT IN ALFALFA GROW.
ING UNDERTAKEN BY NORTH.
ERN REAL PROPERTY co. OF
JAMEsToWN-MAY PROVE OF
GREAT VALUE.

jamestown Alert: Saturday 1906
alfalfa plants were planted on a farm
Of the Northern Real Property Co.,
near the city, Of which Alvin Schroed-
er is tenant. In the northwest quarter
17-140-63. The plants were taken from
the farm of Alison Wells southeast of
the city, where they had been grow
ing some three years and had reached
a good stage of growth. A portion of
the plants were dug by hand, but the
majority were plowed, and taken at
once to the new tract of ground and
transplanted in rows three feet and
six inches apart. It is intended that
they will be cultivated in both direc-
lions,
The transplanting is being done as
an experiment by Mgr. w. b, Default
OF the Northern Real Property Co.
from a plan and information furnished
by Charles G. Haas OF Whitewood, S.
d.. who claims to have made a great
success in getting alfalfa started by
the transplanting process. One objec-
ton to farmers undertaking to raise
aifalfa Is the length of time required
to get the crop rooted and we'll started.
The roots transplanted were about
SIX inches in length. 1t is claimed that
the cutting off Of the tap root to a GER
tain extent changes the root forma-
ton, and that the plant for the first
year, at least, makes a more rapid
growth h otherwise. The plants
We're carefully replanted, no fertilizer
being used. 1t is claimed that they
VIII do we'll the first year and that a
nay crop can be taken from such
plants the first year. Also that the
roots carry their own bacteria, and
there is no need of any other ~inocula-
ton.
me object of the experiment is to
determine II the success Of the plan,
reported for it elsewhere, will apply In
TINS state. The experiment will be
watched with considerable interest,
ana y IS hoped that it will bear out
the claims of success made for it.

1t is more necessary that you keep
your Bowels, Liver and Stomach
clean, pure n fresh than it is to
keep the sewers and drainage of a
large city free from obstruction.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets-or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This is
important.
C~ascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove. the
sour, undigested and ~fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system the constipated waste mat
ter and poison in the intestines and
bowels.
No odds how badly and upset you
feel, a Cascaret tonight will straight
en- you out by morning. They work
while you sleep. A Decent box from
your druggist will keep your head

MEMORIAL and
A CEREMONIAL
FARGO COUNCIL OF THE KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS EXPECT TO
HAVE TWO BIG AFFAIRS TAKE
PLACE DURING COMING WEEK
IN COLUMBUS HALL.

So as not to interfere in any way
with the memorial service of May 80
the Fargo council of the knights Of
Columbus on Wednesday evening in
the Columbus hall will hold memorial
services in honor of the heroic dead
who gave their lives in defense of
their country, n it is stated that
this will be the first time in the his
tory of the order that a similar serv-
ice by the knights Of Columbus will
be held. The ceremonies will be of a
most solemn character and it is hoped
that every member Of the council and
all visiting sir knights will be in at
tendance.
The following day, May 20, will oc-
u the ceremonial session of the
council when a class of not far from
fifty-fiVe will be given the degree
work. These come from every part of
the entire state and Will be one of the
largest classes that the local council
has ever handled.
There will be no announcement as
to the degree teams which have been
selected to perform the work. This is
never given out until the ear march,
es out on the floor "to get after the
candidates. Grand Knight Clemens
says the teams that have been select
ed to perform the work will be the
best that can be secured. Every coun-
Gil in the state will be represented to
take part in the work.
The programme of the day will be-
gin at 8 in the morning when the
members and candidates will march in
a body to attend solemn high mass
celebrated by Rev. Father Egan, priest
of the st. Mary's cathedral.
After attending church the boys
will. march to the hall, where the first
degree, will be exempliied and the Sec
ond n third degree will K perform
ed in the afternoon.
At $50 in the evening the BANQUET
will take place and there is sure to be
a large attendance. The members of
the local council are all invited to at
tend as we'll as the visitors. The dance
that will follow the banquet will be an
informal one, and a very pleasant time
is expected.
It is. expected by the officers of the
Fargo council that there will be not
far from 400 visitors to the city on this
occasion.

TO PLACE GUILT ON MAN WHO
SHOT WIFE WILL BE BIG TASK
FOR STATE-WAs JEALOUS AND
CHARGED lNFlDELlTY.

There are many peculiar features in
connection with the case Of John
Staff, the Ward county mar charged
with murder as a result of the death
of his wife from a bullet fired by him
while she was hiding in a barrel on
the farm premises near Minot.

Ward county, who is in Fargo today,

esting in the history of the state.
Hardest Point.
The greatest difficulty that the pros
ecution will have will be that of prov
ing that Staff knew his wife was in
the barrel when he fired the fatal
shot. Mrs. Staff had concealed her
self in the barrel, about forty feet
from the house, after a quarrel with
her husband, during which he is said
to have threatened her with death by
shooting.
Staff claims that he had absolutely

barrel. He went in the house. he

summer. It will continue through two
field seasons and until the entire coun-
ty has each quarter section tested and
mapped. This is a large county of
thirty-two townships.
Prominent citizens of the county,
headed by G. M. Holbert of LaMoure
got behind the movement and aided in
securing funds within the county to
the extent of about Is per cen of the
cost of the survey. State and federal
funds are taken to those counties will
ing to aid themselves, and so LaMoure
county gets it..
Special Credit Due.
Special credit for raising funds"
continued Professor Hard, lis due to
the disinterested and progressive spir-
it of Mr.. Holbert, aided largely by Sem
ator Mcdowell and the LaMoure coun-
ty officers of the Better Farming as
ISOLATION as they feel that the work of
such an organization should very logi-
cally be preceded by and based on a
testing analysis and mapping Of the
soils.
Further the state survey is likewise
determining the best method of the
soil and crop treatment in the coun-
ties surveyed, carrying the results
home to the farmer in personal visits
and by correspondence, having the ad-
vantage, with the exception of the
small initial outlay for the survey, Of
being entirely free"

When the survey is completed a re-
port and mar of the soils of the entire
county is had for free distribution. In
the map each kind of soil is represent
ed by a different color showing the ex-
tent of the type though it has not more
than ten acres.
The amount and extent of alkali in
the soil is found. With the aid of sur
Vey a number of farmers in Barnes
county and other areas just surveyed
are working out practical treatment
of the moderately alkaline lands with
good crop results.

be investigated. Minneapolis promot-
ers have just been visiting this region
