INQUIRE INSTRUCTS
IN LAND CLEARING

Grand Rapids. Mimi, Oct. 29.-The
opening day Of the short course in land
clearing at the Northeast experiment
farm found students present from all
sections Of the north-central part Of
the state, from the Canadian boundary
to Hinckley.
Superintendent Mcclure began the
instructions by calling attention to
some of the results at the state farm
the past season, mentioning that
oats yielded seventy bushels to the
acre; barley sixty bushels, inc pota-
toes 270 bushels. Two cuttings of hay
Melted a yield of five tons to the acre.
Another exhibit Of particular inter-
est was fodder corn with splendidly
matured ears. In explaining this sue
cess Superintendent Mcclure said it
was all made possible by crop rotation.
He considered the ideal system that
which provided for the planting Of
grain the fist year, followed by clover,
corn, potatoes and roots in the order
named.
Feasible Plan Pointed Out.
Superintendent Mcclure showed the
farmers what he considered the most
feasible system of clearing and in
northern Minnesota. A plot of pasture
land was shown on which the trees had
NSSA4 - oALJ ooN "lASlC w oIukilPS ILou
been allowed to remain. This had been
put to grass and for seven years had
provided excellent pasture for fifty
head Of stock. The profit from the
herds feeding Upon this stump pasture
had been between $500 and $500. Be
sides the stumps were all the time
rotting, and can now be removed at
practically no cost. .. .. '@
In the afternoon the class was taken
in charge by Prof. E. G. Cheney,
state forestry expert, who explained
the different kinds of timber to be
found in this section. He spoke of the
values Of the different varieties, and
maintained that conservation of the
hardy, growing young trees of a mer-
charitable variety would prove a pay
ing proposition.
Lesson in Explosives.
This forenoon was given over to the
handling Of explosives, Superintendent
Mcguire and F. B. McLaren being the
demonstrators. A paper on the best
way in which to purchase explosives
was read by D. E. Willard.
Last evening Superintendent Nc
CURE gave a moving picture lee
ture on the subject of land clearing.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Gossip on wheat.
last night was rather bullish. Commits
sion houses in most instances favored
the buying side on breaks. Advices
from the northwest indicate unfavor-
able weather for the movement and
say wheat marketed more closely in
many parts of North Dakota Min
nesOta han at this time last year. The
pressure of hedging sales is lighter and
the big deficit in the primary movement
as compared with last year is regarded
as significant by many traders. Corn
specialists said that most of the local
traders were long more than they have
been for several days and the pit shor-
tage among the professionals had been
cut down. All reports from the country
indicate ar Indifference on the part of
farmers to sell corn. Shipping sales,
wheat $4,000 bushels; corn 115, 600
bushels; oats 128,000 bushels. No
charters.

True TEMPERANCE
AT WASHINGTON

Indianapolis, Oct. 29.-"That we now
have a christian man in the White
House, an administration Of Sabbath
observance in all the departments of
the government" and that President
Taft's administration, represented
more subserviency to the liquor inter
ests and other bad combinations than
any other in American history" were
the declarations Of DR.. Clarence True
Wilson of Topeka, Kan, secretary of
the Temperance society of the Metho-
dist church who addressed the Ma
tional Association of Methodist men
yesterday. DR.. Wilson declared that
President Taft waited until the last
minute when he hoped there would be
no time for reconsideration before
voting the Webb liquor bill and said
that his administration event down to
defeat beneath an avalanche of indig-
nant protests, such as never has been
duplicated in the United States"
"a great Christian leader is secre-
tary of state too continued Mr.. Will
son. Our former secretary of state,
used to send out letters to all Ameri-
can consuls, notifying them Of
brewers conventions and ordering
them to Investigate and see what they
could do to increase the expectation,
of American beers to their country.
William j. Bryan will never do that.
When Mr.. Bryan calls the representa-
tives of the nations around his hos
pitable board, he serves the same kind
of grape juice which was used in
Palestine in the days of Jesus. And
when a few newspapers commented
Mr.. Bryan made a speech that was
heard around the world; and Bryan's
grape juice became as popular as
Kansas buttermilk."
DR.. Wilson said under the present
closed in the Panama zone and. the
battleships of the navy forbidden to
carry alcoholic liquors on board. He
declared the cause of temperance had
received a great uplift.

EXHIBIT A" In
N. W. DENT CORN

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 29.-As an
object. lesson in just what N. w. Dent
corn will do under proper cultivation,
T. j.. Roman, a prominent farmer
residing three miles northwest OF
Maxwell, brought to the city yester-
day eight stalks Of corn, each stalk
graced by two large, fully developed
and matured ears and taken from a
portion of the field in which many
other samples of a similar big yield
were noted.
Mr.. Roman gives some interesting
facts on corn culture and his expert
ence with this particular variety. He
planted on May 8, first cultivating the
field thoroughly and selecting the best
seed obtainable. Before the corr was
up, he set men to work, blind cult
waiting" it, that is, running a light
drag over the surface; thus keeping
the ground moist and loosened up and
permitting the corn to break through
the earth promptly, once 1t had
sprouted.
He again cultivated the field as soon
as the corn was up, using a drag and
kept men in the field continuously,
until the corn was at such a helghth
that it was being broken down in Gull
tivating and then it was given a rest.
AS q result, he has a field of forty
acres. which will average sixty bush
els, some of it will go seventy bush
els; the corn is all in the shock, ma
tured ahead of the frost and the ears
are unusually large, perfect speci-
mems.
He left the samples he brought in
yesterday at the office Of the Security
Real Estate & Loan Co. on Fourth
street, where anyone interested in
learning what N. w. Dent will do, I'M
der proper conditions and care, may
examine it.
Interest in corn culture in this state
is growing with each succeeding year,
according to well informed men and
with the publicity given the subject
through the. medium of the better
farming bulletins, the different con-
tests in localities of the state, the dis
cussions of the subject by men who
know what they are talking about
and the object lessons afforded in the
crops grown on such farms as those
of j. d. Bacon, O'Connor brothers,
Stephen Collins, the experimental
farm near this city, the Coulters near
Mallory and many others, who could
be named, the prospects for double
very bright by those who are advoeat-
ing rotation of crops, n alfalfa and
other products as an auxiliary to
wheat in insuring a safe and certain
revenue year in and year out.

Mornino Grain Letter,

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Wheat: Cables
sharply higher. Bad Argentine. Rus
sian and Indian weather the cause.
Our special Argentine cable does not
.corroborate the reported damage in
Argentine. The wheat market how
ever, is still badly oversold and I'M
favorable news such as we are getting
might easily start shorts to covering
and advance prices sharply. We feel
that on all further bulges profit TAX
ing is in order with d view Of replace
ing on declines.
Corn: We look for still further up
turn today on which important profit
taking should be experienced with a
consequent moderate setback when
lnsiStent shorts are covered.
Oats: The selling Of a long line
that has hung over the market leaves
oats in a much healthier position. The
large visible Drecludes possibility Of g.
permanent advance Of any size. Note:
This mornings wheat cable ought to
produce an excellent opening to sell
wheat on whether it be long or short
wheat.

Duluth Cash Close.
Duluth Flax.
Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Wheat: Under
the stimulus of SuSpiciOusly strong
. cables due to reported bad outlook in
Argentine M continued rough in
India wheat prices have scored an ad-
vance Of almost 1Rc losing a portion
of this near the close and closing no
7s higher for the day. Undoubtedly
the oversold condition of our market
and the long continued decline abroad
brought about this quick upturn, and
it is now noted that foreigners are
becoming nervous owe food supplies
for the immediate future. The situa-
ton in India is undoubtedly critical,
n relieves the foreign situation OF
much Of the top heavy bearishness
which it has been displaying of late.
Cash demand locally was moderate.
This is due no doubt to the upturn in
prices. Unless further bullish factors
develop in the foreign situation we
look for a moderate reaction in wheat
on which purchases are suggested.
Corn: Has shown a firm undertone
under continued buying by the lead
ing long. Bad weather throughout the
entire belt with snow and low
temperatures west of the Mississippi
n rain and falling temperatures east
helped to make h market extremely
steady. The strength in wheat also
was a great aid TO sentiment. Cash
demand was of a moderate character,
and the east apparently not, interested.
We, believe the present advance has
discounted all Of the bulIish features
in the present situation and believe
that a good reaction is due. We ad-
wise profit taking and awaiting de-
clines before r~einstating long lines.
Oats: Have followed their history
of the past few days and close tonight
a shade lower than last night. The
exceedingly poo eastern cash demand
and enormous visible has resulted in
selling pressure on every upturn with
shorts the best buyers on the declines.
We see little good in oats until cash
demand becomes large enough to re-
duce some of the burdensome visible.
