costing. There should be more men
and more opportunities granted by
the state in this kind of work than is
now available. Here is something
! that should not be neglected. ,
Lessons in Cultivation.
Another feature, of great value was
the lessons of cultural methods.
| In these, methods could be again
seen the value of the experiments
here tried. Some plats showed the
effect Of seeding too thick, others
the effect of sowing in rows and Gull
! tivating. Some showed the various
varieties and effect in winter killing
! and the power of drouth resisting and
so many other things that can never
be explained nor understood until
careful investigation is made, and all
interested should 60 and see TINS
work and then get. and read the bull
letins and papers on this subject. II
it is not convenient to visit the sta
Ition the bulletins should be read, any
way, and every field possible examin-
ed in the n~eighbOrhood.
A Splendid Lunch.
After returning from the fields the
next thing was to examine the ma
chinery used in the growing and mar
vesting alfalfa and then more instruc-
tons. Then followed a good dinner,
in which all took-part, and. the appe-
tite was good and a happy hour was
passed.
A Lesson in Planting.
Much of the work in the afternoon
consisted of lessons in planting. This
was a very valuable feature of the
sday. r.
Many Noted People Present.
= The interest aroused in this subject
was well demonstrated by the num-
Der of noted men in the agricultural
work present. Among these were:
Dairy Commissioner Flint of Bis
marck, ]. S. Cole, Field Officer Dry

Superintendent Great Plains Station;
John Christianson, President of the
North Dakota Holstein Breeders AS
s%ociation; NJ. J. Downey, Superintend-

Max Pfaender, Assistant Superintend-

Alfalfa literature and letters re-
questing information on alfalfa were
on display. The willingness of the
station to give information on the
subject was in this way clearly
shown, and there were several vol
umes of this literature, so it will be
seer how impossible it Is for a news
paper article to cover all this subject
at one time. -
Samples OF Alfalfa Seed. 81
There were numerous samples OF
seed in various conditions Of age and
purity, making an object lesson OF
great value. The alfalfa and Other
leguminous plants showing nodule in

Field Demonstrations.

Forty Strains Of Grim Alfalfa.
One field had been set aside for the
breeding of pedigreed Grim alfalfa
and the testing of the strains Of this
variety, and it was known that as
many as forty strains had been de-
veloped. Here Is where the value to
the public comes in, in the care and
skill of the plant breeder. This work

Grounds in Fine Condition.
The land under cultivation at the
station consists of about 80 acres, AM
the total holdings are 100.
AS alfalfa is only one of the crops
being tried out in the tests here, the
other crops must be taken into con-
s%ideratiOn when estimating the value
of the work being done. But this is
Alfalfa day and IS the only matter
now under consideration.
"ALFALFA DAY."
The sign, "ALtALFA DAY. done
in large letters made from cut alfalfa,
on the seed house, greeted the visit

There were a few placards and
many exhibits worth considering. One
placard said, "Kansas has 1,OO0,o0o

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
. Earl CaWdor

4 CaWdor
p Hugh Frederick Vaughan Campbell,
fourth Earl Cawdor, was born June
q, 1870. He succeeded to the title
in 1911 upon the death of his father,
the third Earl. who was a noted I'm
ionist leader and a man of great
achievements in business and public
affairs. The present Earl was edu-
Gated at Oxford University. He pos.
sesses large estates and several coun-
try residences. One of them is the
famous CawdOr Castle, in Scotland, 4
seventeenth century fortress built
round the remains of an old tower Of
some four centuries earlier. In the
lowest dungeon may be seen a thorn
tree growing out of the floor, and by
it is an enormous chest of great an
tiquity. In this dungeon and round
this tree it is the family custom to
drink the Cawdor toast, FRESHNESS
to the hawthorn and prosperity to the
line of Cawdor."

The following taken from the Min.

almost like a novel, and contains
many facts which the people of this

Of because they are living in the

to judge, and If the reader will note
carefully the facts in this article, he

Bismarck, the capitol of North Da-

200 miles of territory in the fertile
country of the upper Missouri river.
As business has progressed westward
there have grown up distinctive cen
tiers about which commerce has TO-
cussed. Following the development
OF Chicago" the Twin Cries grew up,
and now Bismarck is the next stand
in commercial progress westward.
"Those who know Bismarck know
that in its growth, history is repeat

FAMOUS TREATY TREE
DIES Of OLD age

T%arrytown. n. ", June 21.-Much
interest on the part of residents of
the entire Sleepy Hollow section and
OF visitors to the scenes Of Washing
ton lrving's romances is displayed in
the death of the ancient Treaty Tree
at Phillipse Manor. This mammoth
chestnut, some: tWenty-Odd feet in cir
cumference at its base, has been
slowly dying for a year or more, and
the only signs of life remaining now
are two or three clusters OF leaves
among it's giant branches. 1t brave
ly withstood the ravages Of the dis.
ease which has destroyed practically
all the chestnut trees throughout the
East and is probably the last n to
in the Sleepy Hollow and the Tar
rytOwn sections. %"
This monarch of the primeval forest
has been known in history as the
Treaty Tree from the fact alleged
that under it's branches the last
treaty was made between the whites
and the Wequadequeek Indians who
inhabited the Sleepy Hollow territory.
1t is also alleged that under its ro-
mantle shade Washington Irving
wrote his famous story 'The Headless

Phillipse Manor. Although the Treaty
Tree is now practically dead it will
mot be felled, but is to be preserved
by the Phillipse Manor Company. A
