Nurse Crop.
At the Dickinson substation an ex-
lerirnent in growing alfalfa with n
without q nurse crop was made:
In 1912 two plots were soWn to al
falfa. early in June in 6-inch drills at
the rate of 5M pounds per acre. On
one plot 40 pounds of hHlleSS barley
was sown as a nurse crop. In 1913 the
plot without any nurse crop produced
1920 rounds hay, first cutting, n the
second crop produced 143 pounds seed
per acre.
The plot with the barley nurse crop
produced 1,567 pounds of hay first cut
ting and the second crop was not
worth cutting
This is a fair sample of the general
experience with a nurse crop.

At the Dickinson substation, a plat
sown in 6-inch drills has in five years
produced 10 tons of hay and IT'S

new ENGLAND WANTS
WATERWORKS SYSTEM

New England. N. D., May 19.-The
matter of getting a waterWorks system
for fire protection in New England
has caused the village trustees to put
in considerable time the past few
weeks in getting estimates and figures
from various sources, but the PROPOSE
ton is a long ways from being settled.
It seems the village can only bond for
$1,000, which is only about half the
amount necessary for a water works
system suitable for this town. The
