Big FARM FOR
Walsh COUNTY
EXPERIMENTAL PLOT LAUNCHED
IN CONNECTION WITH PARK
RIVER INSTITUTION,

Park River, n. D., April 23.-The
board Of trustees of the Walsh county
agricultural and training school have
succeeded in establishing a state dem
onstratiOn farm on a site adjoining
the site selected for the new county
college. The demonstration farm will
be operated under the auspices of the
North Dakota experiment station. w.
r. Porter, superintendent, and Amos
v. Even, assistant superintendent,
were in the city, and on behalf of the
state entered into a contract with
Patrick O'BriCn, the owner Of the site
establishing the demonstration farm
on his lane for a period OF ten years.
Under the contract Mr.. O'Brien gets
takes the entire crop, and also receives
500 per annum for his work, which
must be performed very accurately
under the direction of the superintend-
ent, the 800 is deposited in a savings
bank drawing . per cent interest and
paid over to him at the end of the
ten year period with accrued interest.
For the present six plats of four
acres each were laid out facing the
road leading from the Kensington
town hall to the John Martyr resi-
denCe.
Between each plat will be laid out a
narrow alley which will be seeded to
grass, the plats being seeded as fol-
lows for the first year: Plat one, al
falfa; plat two, wheat: plat three,
oats and peas; plat four, wheat; plat
five. corn; plat six, oats. Mr.. O'Brien
Will be required to send in a daily re-
port to the experiment station Of the
temperature. moisture, direction Of the
wind and also of the work done each
day, while the superintendent will Wis
it the farm every two weeks during
the cropping season. The establish
ment Of this demonstration farm will
add considerably to the efficiency of
the instruction given at the agricul-
tural school. and the board is very en-
thusiastiC over the matter.
At first the board met with a re-
fusal from the experiment station, as
lack of funds prevented the establish
ment Of the farm this year. but Mr..
O'Brien very literally waived the 500
for the first year in order to assist the
board in getting 1t started this year.
The site selected is pronounced by the
superintendent as a splendid one, be-
ing typical of Walsh county lands
generally.

KILLS SELF WIEN
HIS HORSE Died
STUTsMAN FARMER GOES INSANE
OVER SMALL LOSS-MAR-
RIED LAST OCTOBER.

Jamestown. ~. d.. April 23.-Thc
body Of Albert Clemens was found
hanging in his barn at his home about
fifteen miles south Of jamestown. 1t
was discovered by George ScCkcrsOn
and Walter Tompkius, the former be-
ing a brother-in-IaW OF MT. Clemens.
His wife had gone to the Roy Seeker
son place to spend the day, and Mr..
Clemens was left at home where he
had some little work to attend to. He
had lost a horse the day before, and
having suffered previously from two
attacks of insanity, ii is thought that
this slight trouble may have disturbed
his mental condition sufficiently to
suggest the suicide. He had placed a
couple of boxes on the floor of the
barn, had fastened a rope around his
neck and to one of the rafters or
beams in the BARN. The boxes had
then been kicked from beneath him
and he had s~trangled. The deceased
has been in the insane asylum at two
different Intervals, but exhibited no
special symptoms of an recurring at
tack at this time.
He was married in October last to
Miss Ella SeckersOn Of this county.
Mr.. Clemens was we'll fixed financially.
The deceased was 35 years Of age, and
born in Wisconsin.
His father Inc mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Clemens, reside in this city. Three
years ago q. brother took his own life
in practically the same manner.

BINDER TWINE
At Old RATING

Bismarck, N. D., April 23.-The state
railroad commission is gratifed over
receiving notice from the western
classification committee. which is a
body made up Of representatives Of
the traffic departments of all railroads
in western territory, to the effect that
the committee has decided to restore
binding Irvine to the agricultural i'm
plement list. Binding Irvine was
formerly in this classification, but a
year or so g 1t was taken out of
this list n given a higher rating.
This change back of binding Irvine
to the old rate is a step from uni
formity, but after giving careful con-
sideration to the complicated situa-
ton that confronted the western ines
on account Of the commodity ratings
and to the strenuous protests filed by
the North Dakota and other railroad
commissions, the committee thought
best in this instance for all concern
ed to ignore the uniform work and re-
store Irvine to the old rating.
This decision will mean quite a
large saving in the aggregate to North
Dakota farmers.

has been no rains so far to interfere
with farm work and a great deal of
seeding is already done. The soil is
in good condition for seeding with
plenty of moisture to start the seed,
and conditions are most favorable for
a good crop the coming season. This
locality has indeed been fortunate.

Answers the
Criticism of the N. D.
Hail Insurance Law

the act provides that no provision
herein shall apply to the state hail In
suranCe department. The reason for
this exception lies in the very import
ant fact that the state hail insurance
act specifically provides that the in
suranCe shall be in force and effect
from the time Of filing the application
in the office Of the county auditor.
Many of the applications are written
by the auditors themselves. in which
case the insurance becomes immedi-
ately effective. And in no cas- should
more than twenty-four hours Clapse
between the taking and the filing Of
the application. There was no reason
why the Mcbride bill should have been
made to apply to state hail insurance,
and there is no merit in the SUCCESS
ton that the failure to make it so APP
ply resulted in class legislation.
"Thc Nationals second objection
is that the 2a per cent which the
companies were required to pay on
their hail insurance premiums in this
state was diverted into h state hall
insurance fund. which has never yet
been able to pay its adjusted losses.
The National is most CE~rogiOusly mis-
taken in this matter. Not a penny Of
the insurance tau income has ever
gone into the state hail insurance
fund. After deduCting operating eX-
penses. the balance of the total
amount Of state hail insurance re-
Ceipts becomes available for the pay
mcnt OF losses in full if the sum re-
naming Is sufficient for that purpose;
IL not, then pro rata. In short, the
state hail insurance department Is alb
sOlutCly self sustaining.
Il appreciate the fact that. state in
surance, Of whatever character, is
looked upon with frank disfavOr by
the insurance companies. But there
Is a widespread and insistent demand
for that kind Of insurance which will
not be denied. so We may as well make
the best of 1t. Whether or not state
insurance Is practicable remains to be
determined"

Robert NJ. Gay in Atlantic: A

centive is everything. / once came
upon a little cash girl in a department
store reading Jacob Bohme. What
her incentive was, I could not per-
suade her to say; perhaps the old

Bismarck, n. D., April 23.-Upon
havinsg his attention called to an ar
ticle in The United States Review, an
insurance publication, stating that the
National Fire Insurance Co. of Hart
ford had notified it's North Dakota
agents that it would write no hail in
suranCe in this state hereafter because
of the recent enactment Of an objcC-
tionable law, Commissioner of Insur-
ance w. G. Taylor said:
This department has not been off,
Cially notified by the National of Hart
FORD OF It's purpose to cease writing
hail insurance in this state. but the
report that it has reached that decl-
sion Is doubtless well founded.
1.-The objectionable law referred to
is Senator McBride's bill, which pro-
Vides that every insurance company
writing hail insurance in this state
shall be bound, and the insurance
shall take effect. from and after tWen-
ty-fOur hours from the day and hour
the application for such insurance has
been taken by an authorized agent Of
the company. This bill had a stormy
voyage through tho thirteenth lCgis-
latiVe assembly, but finally reached
port and received the approval of the
governor. The tW~cnty-fOur hour pro-
vision is somewhat drastic, but some
thing Of the kind was necessary for
the protection Of the %insuring public.
Undoubtedly the law presents some
difficulties to the insurance companies,
but they are by no means insIpcrablo.
A readjustmcnt of the method of
handling applications is all hat Is in
volved. | do not anticipate that many
of the companies Will follow the lead
of National OF Hartford and quit the
game. There is something fascinating
about the hail insurance busincss-the
chances Of winning or losing a consid-
cradle stake are so nicely balanced,
However, | would like to call attcn-
tion to the fact that two Of the OBJ
tections raised by the Hartford are
without foundation. 1t is true that

he had about succeeded in stopping
the horses, n Of them stepped on
him. causing him to let go. He was
thrown under the disc which ran over

otherwise very badly bruised him. Mr.,
Woehl had a very narrow escape from
