HEAVY YIELD AT
FIELD STATION

Mandan, N. D, Aug. z6.-Gettine
from 90B to 107 bushels to the acre
threshing oats is in full blast at the
Northern Great Plains Field station.
w. w. Burr of the deLartment OF
agriculture plant bureau is IN charge
and is highly pleased with the results.
Up to noon Saturday, twenty seven
Of the tenth acre plats lad been
threshed. With oats weighing 80
yield was 29O pounds and the highest
was 342.
Threshing of wheat was Started late
Friday afternoon and while but four
Of the tenth acre plats were threshed,
the results showed that the yield will
average around 36 bushels. On the
smallest plat the yield was 81 and on
the best plat the yield was S7&. The
wheat was a hard durum.
Mr.. Burr, in talking of the yield,
said: Many farmers say Well, we
could get the same results If we had
the men and did as much FORK as they
do l tell you, the farmers are mis-
taken on the work done.
How It Was Done.
"On all of these oat pats, which last
year were virgin sod, we broke the
land. Then the ground was pulVerized
to a good depth and dragged and no
fertilizer was used. It is not ques-
ton of tiling or work after seeding
that gets results. it is the preparation
of the soil that counts.
"The average yield of oats III this
does not anywhere near touch
the mark the station secured. If the
Morton county farmers get SO bushels,
they are highly satisfied.
perhaps it is a little more. work to
prepare the land than ordinarily done,
but after preparation there is no work
other than seeding and doing it right,
which Is no more work than seeding
in the wrong way 1t looks to me as
though the farmers who will eventu-
ally adopt the scientific methods would
realize that a little more work in prep
aration on say forty acres, will give
just as good results as the same
amount Of work and double the seed
on 120 acres"
Wheat Yield.
Speaking of the wheat yield, Mr..
Burr declared that some of the plats
would run forty bushels to the acre.
There is no guesswork on how many
bushels the grains are going to the
acre The bundles from each plot are
kept separate as they go 10 the ma
chine so they are not mixed with other
plats.
The resulting yield Is carefully
and weighed so that there
is an exact record.
A small thresher than is usually
used has been secured in order to get
the exact figures and it is being driv-
en- by an electric motor house in the
city.
The barley and fax have not yet
been touched but it is expected that
these plats will be taken up some time
this week as soon as the oats and
wheat are ont of the wav

TO PUNISH USERS OF
FALSE ADDRESSES

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 26.-Rev F.
L. Watkins, superintendent of the
North Dakota Enforcement league,
proposes TO adopt a new method OF
f1ghting the importation of liquor into
the state.
The prosecution of shippers of liquor
to fake addresses will be the new step.
1t is claimed that some liquor COM
panies now ship liquor to fake names,
and by doing so the Identity of the
person actually receiving the consign-
ment is covered up.
Rev. Mr. Watkins, it is understood,
has evidence covering a number of in
stances wherein fake names have been
employed, and he will make a report
of such cases to the United States dis
trict attorney, maintaining that prose-
cutions come under the provision of the
federal interstate statutes.
At the conclusion of his workisin
Devils Lake, where he has been spend
ing several days engaged in cleanup
campaign, Rev Mr.. Watkins went to
