HAD A GOOD YIELD

A. J. Bretzlaf was in the city Fri
day from his farm four miles east
of Manning with a load of wheat
which was given the highest grade.
MI. Bretzlaff tried an experiment
with his wheat last fall which proved
to be very successful. Late in the
season., so late that the grain would
not sprout, he sowed several acres to
spring wheat. This was threshed
separately from the rest of his wheat
and gave a yield of % bushels to the
acre. The kernels e full and
plump, grading No. l hard. Mr..
Bretzlaff intends to try the same
thing again this year, increasing the
acreage. He sowed four acres to
Marquis wheat which also gave a
Weld of 20 bushels to the acre. The
rest of his wheat which vas sown in
the spring, did not do nearly as well
and brought his average yield down
to 10 bushels to the acre. MI. Brett
laff intended to exhibit some Of his
wheat at the Stark County fair, but
as there were no prizes offered for
wheat other than that raised in the
county he did not think it was worth
the bother. He intends to have an
exhibit at the Industrial Exposition
at Bismarck next month.

AN EFFECTIVE ASSOCIATION

The United Stock Breeders Asso-
citation of Esmond, N. D., is doing
very effective work in improving the
livestock in Benson county. Already
10 pure bred bulls have been bought
into the county. Seventeen of these
are milking shorthorns and two are
Holsteins. The plan is this: Eight
farmers living near together form a
local club. Each N puts up $40,
which is turned into the parent asso-
citation, which in turn furnishes the
local club with the kind Of q bull it
wants. The call has, in nearly every
case, been for the milking shorthorn.
One Of the members Of the club
keeps the bull and receives $50 a year
for this. A service fee Of 81 is
charged members and non-members
are charged SO. This provides for
the running expenses. When the bull
has been used two or three years he
is exchanged for another, in this way
%inbreeding is prevented. The local
club must keep on using the same
breed, as the association does not
believe in the mixture Of breeds.

villa is debating. He IS said to have
only talked with Carranza few
minutes to-day when he convinced Ibis
CHIEF that the rebel attitude toward
the United States must he pacific.
The official version OF the meeting is;
Gen. Carranza and Gen. villa had "a
long conversation and the two are in
thorough accord. Both believe that
trouble with the United states will not
occur. Negotiations between Gen. Car
rama and the Washington Government
are under way"
The unofficial version is that villa
clustered into chihuahua from Juarez
fastened into Carranza's office, thumped
a few times upon the table and asserted
that I'VE do not object TO the United
States ships and troops at Vera Cruz
and you are going 10 say so right away"
Carranza had already been advised by
his diplomats that he had made mis-
take and had already heard what Villa
had said so he was prepared. He Is
said TO have told villa that he realized
he had acted hastily hut that he did it
from feeling of patriotism and still
.felt in his heart that he was right hut
for the sake of Kidding Mexico of Huerta
It probably was best as villa believed
to accept the situation and let the
United States troops alone.
