WHAT DOES THE CROP NEED2
An Experiment Plot Furnishes the An
swer.
P, K. EDWARDS.
p. X. EDWARDS.

One way Of solving the many inter
esting and puzzling problems in the sol
and plant Kingdom is by an experiment
plot. Here light may be obtained as te
the natural peculiarities of soil, or the
special effects of fertilizer on certain
crops, or in what degree to supplement
stable manure for fertilizer. or under
what fixed conditions the ambitious gar
| den lover may obtain the most crafty
ing results for flowers and vegetables.
In starting this miniature farm, then,
use substantial stakes at the corners OF
the plot and mark them plainly, !, 2, 3,
4, s, 8, leaving a space OF two feet be-
tween each two plots to prevent the
plants on one plot from feeding on the
other Make each plot 6 by "a feet and
plant the same crop on all the different
plots. Take winter potatoes, for ex-
ample. On plot | spread 10 pounds Of
dried blood and Is pounds Of acid phos-
phate mixed (where the amount used is
so small il can be distributed more even
ly by mixing it with its weight In
earth) on plot spread W. pounds sui
phate of potash and dried blood mixed;
on plot use no fertilizers; on plot use
~ pounds potash and Is pounds acid
phosphate mixed; on plot 5 use ~
pounds potash, / s pounds acid phosphate
and 10 pounds dried blood, and on plot
g use only stable manure. Take great
care not TO SOW any fertilizer on the
spaces between the plots, and after the
fertilizer has been spread harrow the
plots thoroughly lengthwise.
Comparing the Plots.
The blank plot must not in any
way be overlooked or neglected, for with
il are to be compared all the other plots
in order to see Just what have been the
benefits derived from fertilizing. To
make clear what such an experiment
NAV teach. suppose, for instance, the
Weld on plot 3, where no fertilizer was
applied. is represented by the number
100; the yield on plot by the number
$50; on plot 2, 1906 on 4. l40; on 5, l75.
With these numbers it is proved each Of
the three fertilizers is beneficial, for
were it otherwise the yield on plot s,
where all the fertilizers were used, would |
not have been greater than on plots |, 2
and 4, on each Of which only two fer |
filters were used. IL is always of i'm |
oortance to keep notebook jotting |
Town everything Of interest concerning |
he plots (such as measuring each sep |
lrate yield, and information gained
loon enables the experimenter to buy
he exact fertilzing elements necessary |
or his soil and crops and TO mix and
'pply them in the proper proportions.

chick food, the following will make an
excellent mash.

To this mash one can also add with
value pint OF salt and proper amount
of reliable regulator or tonic. The
above will be found a valuable mash for
use during the second, third and fourth
months OF chicks life, representing as
it does the feeding system of one of
Americas most successful plants, and
should be fed at least twice a day.
When to Feed the Grain
For a scratch grain, we must resort
first to the three great staple grains OF
the poultryman-- corn, wheat and oats
and these should be mixed in equal guam
titles Thy weight for chicks having free
range. For those which are confined,
however, a small amount of a variety OF
other grains, such as millet, canary seed,
barley, etc, may be added, and this
should be fed about the middle of the
morning, scattered on the ground or
among the litter, and again in the later
afternoon. These fine grains are chiefly
valuable as inducing exercise and afford
ing slow nourishment
1t is almost unnecessary to state that
a plentiful supply of good, fresh, cool
water must be before the chicks at all
times, and in addition if they are not on
free range greens and grit must be pro-
vided.
The above system of feeding, provided
other conditions are fairly normal, will
grow chicks which will have the health,
vitality and capacity that will mean
much future profit.

FIGHTING vERMIN
j. w. KELLER


With the approach of warm weather
the poultryman's fight with insect pest
begins, Lice and mites annually Gauss
greater losses than all other causes com
bined A single louise in eight weeks car
multiply to 10000. They may come or
your plant from infested fowls, from
sparrows, from trees, road dust, litter
and numerous other ways. They reduce
your fowls vitality, lessen egg produc.
ton, infect your birds with other dis
eases, deduct from table qualities and
interfere with brooding.
The weapons wherewith to fight are
many. Perhaps the best direct treat
ment consists in suspending a fowl by
its legs and busting thoroughly with a
good reliable powdered lice killer. Air
slaked lime, which is sometimes used,
has the disadvantage of being very irri-
tating particularly to the birds threats
and lungs, tobacco dust if not combined
with other substances is too sticky and
odorous. The house, nests, roosts, etc,
should all be thoroughly painted or
sprayed with a good liquid insecticide
Care should be taken to see that the
liquid penetrates all cracks, erevices and
corners and the roosts should have par
ticular attention. This should be done
frequently and regularly. Creosote is
sometimes used and while good is ex-
tremely irritating and rather dangerous
both for birds and owner. Kerosene,
gasoline and like articles should be
avoided owing to danger from fire Per
haps the safest articles of the kind, as
well as the most effective, are the coal
tar disinfectants.
How to Apply.
There are several disinfectants on the
market and they have the additional
value of disinfeeting, as well as killing
vermin. They can be brushed on or
mixed with water and applied with
sprayer In warm weather this sort of
a solution can also be effectively used
10 dip the fowls in, a sure way to kill
the lice and mites.
If you viii use proper preventive
measures it is doubtful whether YOU
viii have much trouble, Keep your house
clean, dry and full of sunlight, Burn old
litter, fumigate, spray and dust at regu-
lar intervals. Keep on guard for the
pests and act as soon as they are dis
covered. There is no louise on earth that
can live under such conditions.
Mites, tiny red spiders which suck the
blood, are rather more difficult TO get rid
of, but will succumb to the same treat
ment If persisted in. They are more
difficult TO locate than lice, as they only
come on the fowl at night, hiding in |
cracks near the roosts during the day. /
Close search in the daytime will reveal |
them in clusters of a dark red color,
distinguished by peculiar sharp acrid
Ddor.

HUNDREDS OF TRACTS
OF Land Be Opened
Standing Rock Reservation Be
Opened for Settlement in
the Spring.

Ft. Yates Pioneer: The opening of
the Standing Rock reservation for
homestead entry in the spring, which
is now definitely announced after a
two-year wait, will be welcome news
to the people of Sioux county. Moth
ing will do more to hasten the devel-
opment than new settlers who come
to make homes and take an ;>.ive in
terest in the upbuilding of he eoun-
try. While there are only about 600
homesteads left after the Indian allot-
ments are figured out, yet there are
many hundred tracts of land owned by
Indians who have patent in fee for
same on the market in many in
stances on easy terms and at a price
about the same that a homestead en-
tered during the first three-month
period would cost after adding locat-
ing and filing fee to the original price
Of SIS per acre. Now would be good
time for the superintendent of the
reservation to announce sale of in.
herited and incompetent Indian lands
which have been a drug on the mar
ket the past two years. The opening
is bound to bring many prospective
settlers, and sale of Indian lands in
the spring would draw buyers.

CHANCE FOR RECOVERY
Train Wreck Victim Has Beer
Improving Rapidly Last
Few Days.

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 30.-That En-
gineer Fl. H. Warren, has a good
chance for recovery, and that time
may work wonders with his case, was
the assertion OF attending physicians
this morning. The statement is based
on findings secured through the use
of the X-Ray and X-Ray photographs.
Pictures were taken yesterday
morning, of the bones in the back of
Mr.. Warren. They show that the first
lumbar vertebra was telescoped, but
that it is in close alignment. and that
the spinal cord is evidently not in.
jured. ... .....-
The train wreck victim has been
improving rapidly in the past few
days, and within couple of days
more will be in condition that will
admit of his being placed in plaster
cast.
A recovery is looked for, but wheth.
er it will be complete or not is pre-.
diction that the physicians do not
care to make.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
Origin OF A FIRE

Grand Forks, Dec. 3O-Myst terry
surrounds the origin of the fire which
destroyed the empty building on the
w. J.. Bruning dairy farm, located
along the river north of the city
The plzze is ,botherng the sheriff's
office, as they were informed ))me
time ago by phone by an unknown
party that this barn would be set
afire.
1t is believed that the fire was of
incendiary origin, as Mr.. Bruning dis
covered it about $3.50 at night, and
when he arrived at the scene found
that bunch of cornstalks had been
put under the building to give the
blaze a good start. The fire was al
ready bursting through the walls and
floor and could not be checked.
About two months ago, building
standing alongside this one was set
on fire. hut did not burn It was
moved away about a month ago. Fol
lowing the burning Of the first build
ing, Mr.. Bruning's daughter, received
a telephone call from an unknown
woman. who claimed that it was she
who set the b'aze When asked what
her name was, she said that this could
be learned by calling and asking Sher-
iff Benson.
The building burned was valued at
about 5000 and was owned by A. v.
Huntsiger. 1t was used for a slaugh-
ter house.

Little Change
In Battle Line

London, Dec. 3O.-Since the Russian
defeat of the Austrians in Galicia,
which, while not irreparable, likely
will have marked effect on the
whole Austro-German campaign in the
east, there is no important deyel-
opment on either front The Allies,
although making no dramatic attacks
On the German lines, are steadily ham
mering away with their artillery and
when the opportunity offers will push
their line few yards forward. IA
French eye witness, in description
of the battles of December 16 to "a,
gives a good idea Of the kind of fight
ing in progress and record gains,
which, while each is marked Only in
yards, amounts in the aggregate to
considerable advance at many
points.
Fight Germans With Fists.
A few hundred yards in Flanders
were taken by primitive methods.
Having the breaches in their rifles
choked with mud, the Allies used them
as clubs and in many cases fought
the Germans with their fists. In one
little French village, within sound OF
the guns, the Princess Patricia's Light
Infantry, the first of the Canadian
contingent at the front, is billeted,

CALL CONFERENCE ON
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
United States Invites Representa-
tives From South America
to Meet.

Washington, Dec. -Administra-
tion officials were going ahead today
with plans for a conference here prob
ably early next spring between treas
ury department officials and Ameri-
can financiers and the ministers of fl
nance and leading bankers of Central
and South American nations on finan.
cial and commercial problems facing
the two Americas in consequence of
the European war. Acceptances of
the United States governments invi-
tation to allied Central and South
American countries to participate in
the gathering have already been re-
5ceived from several of these nations.
The plan for the proposed confer
ence, which, it is believed, will mark
an important step in bringing about
closer cOmercial relations between the
two continents, originated with Sec
retary McAdoo and was inspired by
the experiences he had with Sir
George Paish of the English treasury,
as q result of which problems which
had puzzled English and American
bankers were smoothed out in a short
time. President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan also have been actively inter-
ested in putting the plan for the con-
ference into execution.
At present trade between the Unit.
ed States and South America is com.
paratively insignificant and is attrib.
uted to the fact that American bank
ers do virtually no business direct
with these countries, foreign ex-
change there being carried on through
London. South and Central American
buyers have obtained long term cred
its in Europe, but owing to the war
English capital is being utilized at
home 1t is pointed out that as re.
suit the opportunity is now presented
FOR financing projects in the southern
countries with the millions of Ameri-
can dollars now lying idle.
While few branches Of American
banks have been established in South
America no great trade stimulus has
resulted and no we'll defined move
sment to make direct banking opera
tions possible. 1t is believed the out
come of the forthcoming conference
will be that many connections be-
tween American banking houses and
those in the leading South American
nations, with more branches OF Amer
ican banks, will be established there.
