SATURDAY WILL
Be ORANGE DAY
Grocers of City Will Feature
Sales of the Golden
Fruit.

Next Saturday will be "orange day"
in the grocery stores of. Grand Forks.
Every grocer in town will make a
special feature Of displays and sales
of the golden fruit. and extra sup
plies have been ordered for the oc-
casion.
This is o being done with the idea
of riValling the st. Patrick's day cele-
bration of last Tuesday, but merely
in order to familiarize the public with
the virtues and possibilities of the
citrus aurantium" as the bird in
question is scientifically called.
In this connection the remarks of
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley. former chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the de-
partment Of agriculture, who is a
great believer in oranges, furnish a
text for the gospel which the mer-
chants will attempt to spread next
Saturday.
D Wiley says: "Oranges are en-
cellcnt for people. II is good to eat
oranges for breakfast and also for
dinner-not from Il medical, but an
anti-medical standpoint. Both oranges
and lemons ought to be used as free
~ as the financial ability of the con-
sumner MAJ permit. A laboring man
may not be able always to eat oranges
at break fast. yet the fruit is usually
very cheap and the consumption of it
will obviate the need of physic, u..l
save many a doctors bill"

BURD|Ck OPENS
BATTLE TONIGHT
Progressive Republican Candi-
date to Speak at Meet
ing Here.

U. L. Burdick Of Williston. pro-
gressive republican candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination.. arrived in
Grand Forks this afternoon and will
be the chief speaker Of the rally to
be held at the city hall his evening.
. An Organization meeting had been
planned for this afternoon, hut owing
to a misunderstanding regarding the
time of the gathering mar of those
who had been expected to attend, the
plan was abandoned at the last mo-
ment.
'It is too early to say much about
the campaign at present." said MI.
Burdick today. "In fact, the fight
has hardly reached the speaking
stage. At present we are busy per-
fecting u organization for the bat
tie at the primaries.
MY platform has already been an
nounced. That overs the principles
for which I am standing, and on
which I am asking the support of the
republican voters. AS to what my
chances for are, ii is too soon
for n prediction"
A number Of the progressive repub-
licans from all parts Of the county
are in the city for the meeting this
evening. A number Of them will
probably give brief addresses, but the
greater part of the time will be de-
voted to the speech of the candidate.
MI. Burdick will leave Friday
morning for Hillsboro where he is
scheduled to be present at a, meeting
Of the progressive G. o. P.'s Of Trail
county. He will speak at a meeting

LANCD0N WHEAT
RESULTS Good

The most comprehensive data yet
available on wheat growing in this
section IL given in the fifth annual re-
port of the Langdon s%ubstation. 1t
takes up most of the phases of wheat
growing. from the kind of varieties to
the best method Of preparing the land.
1t is data that will be valuable to ev.
CRY farmer. Many farmers may have
secured the same general results, but
weights We're kept SO That a measure
is given on the difference between the
several methods.
The Investigations AS to the best
preparation Of the land brought out
the fact that wheat upon five to six
inches fall blowing Welded 21.33 bush
els. three to fOur inches fall blowing,
21.l3 bushels: ~ inches fall plowing,
2O.o3. and three to four inches sprins
blowing, 1888 bushels.
In the experiment as to tho best
method of preparing corn stubble for
wheat it was found that when fall
pIowed it averaged 21.33 bushels;
spring plowed. 1898: spring disced,
GLIB: spring narrowed twice, 23.53
bushels.
The three year average resulted for
the fall plowcd, 2O.66: spring plowed,
1875: spring disced. 21.63: sprins
narrowed, 23.31 bushels.
In the variety trials it was found
that the Gharnovka Durum WELDED
1925 bushels; the Kubanks, 23.O6,
while h five Durums averaged 22.40
bushels. OF the Fifes, Powers Select
yielded 22.5S bushels and Traynor's
21.13 bushels. The average for the
six Flies was 21.13 bushels. The high
est yielding Blue Stem was Minnesota
1853, 22.80 bushels. The average
for the four Blue Stems was 1889
bushels. Velvet Chaff No. IA gave
1920 bushels, the highest for this va
riety. The average for the our was
1913 bushels.
Trials were also made with winter
wheat. Turkey Fed was the variety
used. 1t was sown September 10. 1912.
at the rate of IL bushels on land
that grew corn that year. The corn
too small to be worth while
bothering with. Another trial was
made sowing it in wheat stubble. This
resulted in an entire failure.
An investigation was made Of the
best date for seeding. The first seeding
was made April 20. This gave a yield
Of 49,? bushels; that sowed May 20
yielded Is bushels. These trials were.
on for three years. The aver
age for the early sowing was 1876
bushels: that for the late sowing was
1856 bushels.
A number Of rotations were started
in 1910 SO there has not been time
enough to secure much data. The re-
suits 90 far, however show quite an in
crease where stable manure has been
added and the good effects Of the cul-
crops are also becoming APP
