STATION YIELDS ARE HEAVY
WaIdron Shows What Soil Can Do
When Properly Handled.

The report of Superintendent Wal
dron of the sub-eXperiment station at
Dickinson is calculated to disabuse
the minds of many persons as to the
possibilities of Western North Dakota.
Many have an idea that the far slope
is fit only for range purposes.
The report shows hat for a siX-year
period durum wheat averaged 1858
bushels an acre and that fife wheat
went 24.6 at the station. The meth
DDS used at the station are available
for any farmer in any part of Western
North Dakota. The results are suffi-
GENTLY satisfactory to encourage any,
homeseeker.
Superintendent Waldron is an alfal-
ia expert and has demonstrated that
Grimms is the hardest and best for
this region. Seeded in drills six inches
apart he got two tons of hay and
thirty-five pounds of seed an acre.
Seeded in rows thirty inches apart the
yield was n ton of hay and eighty
five pounds Of seed on an acre.

London. April by a majority of
eighty an amendment FOR the rejec-

third time its second reading in the

The speeches were generally much
more c~onciliatory than those which
marked the bills earlier passages.
John +. Redmond, the Nationalist
leader, who opened the debate, again

insisted that it vas impossible for him
and his colleagues to agree to the

where young Weyerhaeuser entered
the lumber business as an employee of
a saWmill. In 1870 Weyerhaeuser
helped organize the Mississippi River
Boom and Logging company and this
was the beginning of his career as a
lumber baron and at the time Of his
death he was conceded to be the heav-

appears on record in the name of
W~eyerhaeuser. Neither his wealth

He declared recently that he did not
