a week earlier than the other vari-

course, reduced the yield consider
ably.
The flax plots were both seeded

flax can be guaranteed as absolutely

EARLY Russian Film" This corn
was brought from Russia, four
years ago by Prof. H. L. Bolley. He
tried it at the Fargo station for four
years and it always matured about
the first of August. We have a few
bushels of first class seed corn from
this variety. u ~
Plot No. Is was planted to N. w.
Dent. Most of the seed used was
home grown and had been selected
from corn growing and raised on
the School Farm for the last three
years, but part of the seed was ship
ped in. The corn from the home
grown seed ripened ten days earlier
than the corn from the shipped in
seed. I exhibited both kinds at the
county fair, but the early maturing
corn took first prize and the other
was thrown out of consideration al
together; only small percent Of the
corn from the shipped in seed RI
pened.
Home grown seed corn then, may
mean the difference between getting
good crop of corn and none at all.
Our seed corn has been selected
from the earliest maturing ears
each year for the last four years
and we are now beginning to reap
the benefit. In size of ears there is
several inches in favor of the ship
ped in corn but in seven cases out

No. %. One half of this plot was
soddy land and the other half had
been planted to potatoes the year
before. The corn did we'll and
made fine showing. The stalks
were quite even in length, ears are
high on the stalk, and it did not
sucker to speak of. 1t matured a lit
tie later than N. w. Dent, but thru
selection this corn can he made to
ripen equally early. Mr.. VansickIe,
who has been growing the MINI. No.
% for the last six or seven years,
says that it can be made to ripen
just as early as the N. w. Dent.
All of our seed corn has been
dried on racks and corn trees and is
now in shape to be shipped out to
anyone who may wish to buy. The
price is $500 a bushel. We also
have the seventeen year immune
flax (which is resistant to the wilt
disease) for sale.

Industrial Contests.
1. Garden contest. The children
took a great deal of interest in gar
dening this Last year and we feel
sure that this interest will contin-
ne. Some over sixty students took
partsin 1913 and did work that was
not enly credit to themselves but
to the school and the state as we'll.
I believe in this work and shall en-
courage it in every way possible.
Seventy-five dollars will be expend-
ed for prizes (fifteen dollars to
each district) and in addition a sill
yer loving cup will be given to the
one having the best garden in the
five districts. Are you in it? Is
the cup going TO be yours? For
tune and knowledge come to him
who tries. p. ..-... - e.,
2. One acre corn contest Ten
boys from the Associated districts
participated in this contest this
year and we know there will be
twice that number in 1914. Corn is
going to be King in Marshall
county. Why do think so? We
have the soil; home grown, hand
picked, first class seed; industrious
energetic boys; horses and machin-
cry to. work with; the rainfall is
heavy enough; and the climate per
mits it. Three prizes are offered:
list prize $500; End prize $1,000;
3rd prize $500. ..: ....
One acre Alfalfa contest. That
we can raise alfalfa is a certainty.
It should be raised on every farm
and it would be if the farmers
knew its value. VT" III
The boys who participated in the
corn contest ia 1913 and all others
between the ages of 10 and 16 and
who have one acre of clean corn or
potato ground that they wish to
plant to alfalfa, can participate.
Home grown seed from our plot on
the school farm can be furnished to
those. who take part. =

Man Held In Chicago Has Another
Chapter Added to Strange History.

Minneapolis, April 12.-While word
was flashed from Chicago telling that
new charge had been placed against
the mysterious prisoner who calls
himself Jack Lewis, but who is now
identified as T.. e. G. Won Klein, Min
neapolis diamond broker and that
he had been positively identified by
six persons, it was disclosed in Min
neapolis that Won Klein came to Min
neapolis first as a man of mystery,
lived here as DR.. Harry Kohler, an
Australian, and later eloped with Miss
Louise Illstrup to Chicago, where he
divulged his true name.
The story of his coming to Mime
apolis as DR.. Harry Kohler; of his pos
ing as a fortune teller and seer; OF
his clipping to Chicago and finally OF
his disappearance from Minneapolis
just after he had paid his $4,000 life
insurance policy for four years in ad
vance, combined to add greater mys
terry to the case.
