What the National league magnates

Tener again sat on President Murphy

the ground that 1t was his property n
he would do what he pleased with 1t.
"'That day has gone by" said Tener.
"The Cubs must be run for the good

President Gilmore OF the Federal

article in the Saturday Evening Post
on the rehabilitation of the republi-
can party. He stated that the pro-
gressives would have a full ticket in
the field at next election, both for
state and county offices, and predicted
that 1t was only a matter Of months
before La Toilette would be a member
Of their ranks.
DR.. Wheeler Of this city gave very
briefly the reason why he left the
ranks of the republicans and poined
the progressives.
Progress Defined.
Attorney H. r. Turner Of Fargo, the
party's organizer in the state, defined
what progress" really means in the
terms Of the Bull Moose" platform,
and what "standpatism" consisted of,
in terms Of the attitude Of the other
two parties. He also said that, in the
new organization. there was a nation
al party, one that could be received in
the south as well as in other parts Of
the nation. -.
49,. Woman's Suffrage
II. A. Aaker Of Fargo took up a
number Of the issues which the pro-
gressixes stood for, among them the
woman's suffrage question, the con-
troll Of trusts by the government, and
the fact that the party stood for the
man and not the dollar.
Attorney Sever Serumgard Of Devils
Lake was the last speaker. He took
up the discussion from the standpoint
Of the farmer and the tariff, and told
why he turned from the democrats to
the new party.
All Of the speakers emphasized the
assertion that the new organization
had come to stay, and that it was
gaining in popularity, and that the
cure for all national ills was to be
found in its platform. The meeting
was presided over by e. J. Lander of
Grand Forks.
State Platform. 3
The following platform was unani-
rnously endorsed by resolution:
We reaf1rm and endorse the nat.
ional platform Of the progressive party
adopted at Chicago, Aug. II, 1912.
The republican party, by its Cam
adam reciprocity law, and the demo-
Gratis, by the Underwood law, have
practically placed all agricultural
products on the free list, thereby de-
priving the farmer of his just protec-
ton; thereby lowering the prices of
his products and depriving him of the
profits to which he Is entitled, and
Thereby causing a material decrease
lin all farm values; at the same time
! giving him no propcrtionate reduction
| on what he consumes

demand. that the election Of all state
and county officers be made for a
term of -four years instead of two
years, as at the present, thereby re-
i:oving the taxpayers of such burden.
We further believe that the legislative
body consisting Of eleven house mem
bers and fifty senators Is unwieldy,
unnecessary and expensive; that a less
number would be more economical and
conducive to better results.
Resolved further, that the progress
sive party place in nomination candi-
dates for all state, legislative and
county offices in North Dakota.

EMPLOYED BOYS
BEAT. CHAFFEE

In a hotly contested game. the "Y''
Employed Boys team defeated the
fast Chaffee Independents on their w
floor, by a score of % to %. The game
was featured by the basket shooting
of. Smith and the good team work Of
the "Y''' boys.
At the end of the first half, the score
stood 20 to 6 in favor of the W. In
the second half, the Chaffee team
started, with a rush, and had run their
score up to 16' before the Fargo boys
realized their. danger. Brown Of Far
&c refereed the game.
The, Fargo boys had a good deal Of
difficulty in reaching Chaffee, the
trains being late. so that the game was
not started until 1890. They drove
from Wheatland to Chaffee through a
binding storm. The "Y" boys ex-
pressed themselves as very much
pleased with the hospitable treatment
accorded them by their Chaffee hosts.

Of about $4,000, it was learned: In
these towns the organized ball officials
are said to have been tipped Off that the
Federals were going to make an in
vasion and were advised to tie up,
through options, all available grounds
for bail parks. In every instance. they
declared the Federal league vas a dead
duck, would never lease grounds, and
obtaining options was therefore un-
necessary. -.- . .'. |.

TO RENEW STRAWBERRY BEDS
After Weeds and Leaves Are Cut Out
Go Over Bed With CuItivator and
Thoroughly Tear 1t Up.

The first thing to do is to run a
mower over the bed, cutting all the
leaves and weeds as closely as DOS
sible, and then burn. After this diff
ferent methods are followed, some go
into the bed with cultiyator and
thoroughly tear it up, finally leaving
the bed in rows as it was originally,
and cultivating out all vines between.
Others use pillow and pillow between
the rows leaving each row about
foot in width, and thinning out the
plants in the row with a noe. The
cultivator seems more satisfactory as
rule In burning the bed. wait until
the tops and weeds are thoroughly
dry, so they will burn quickly. other
wise the crowns of the plants are like
ly to be damaged.
II only new plants are desired, pillow
out the old after runners have set and
cultivate. The advantage of this is
that the plants will all be from the
earliest, strongest runners.

and if necessary, narrowed second
time before planting. Broom corn is
a good sod crop.
Broomcorn plants are very tender
and make the most rapid growth in
warm weather. They will not stand
the cold of early spring like corn. The
seed will rot before terminating, or If
the plant terminates the growth will
be retarded by continued cold.
When large areas are planted the
most convenient way is to divide the
field into sections of about ten acres
each and plant at intervals of about
week. The crop demands prompt at
tention, and if this system of planting
is followed there is not so much dan
ger of damage to the brush from rain,
or becoming too ripe.
In case farm hands are scarce the
scarcity is not so keenly felt, for there
is not a very large crop that demands
attention within period of a few
days. A few hands can take care of
comparatively large fields and it is
much more convenient than to plant
the whole field on a single date
The method of planting is about the
same as for Kaffir corn. Plant in rows
about three feet apart, and four to five
inches apart in the row. The Stand
ard, due to its large growth, is planted
in rows about three and a half feet
apart.

: Orchard .
Inflammation
TO FERTILIzE THE ORCHARD
Generous Heap of Stable Manure,
Straw, CornstaIks, Etc, Should Be
placed Around Trees.

Here again, during the fall is the
ideal time in which to fertilize the
orchard, as a goodly portion of the
fertility elements will have penetrated
down to the roots Of the trees before
the ground freezes up, and the work OF
regeneration will have been well be-
gun when the spring opens up and the
ground thaws out.
Where the orchard is young, it will,
of course, have to be plowed after
giving it a. good coat of rich stable
manure, straw, cornstalks, etc. If
the orchard is of size not to require
cultivation, a generous heap of the
aforementioned fertilizers should be
hauled and piled up around the base
of each tree.
This is more productive of good re-
suits the following season than where
the orchard is fertilized during the
spring months, as it wiz have plenty
of time in which to be instrumental
in developing a larger crop of finer
quality fruit.-E. V. B.

The principal crops of broomcorn
southern Illinois, although this crop
will grow in other sections of the
country where soil and climatic condi
tons are favorable.
1t is a profitable crop as the price
per ton for the brush usually ranges
$4,000 for the lower grades that are
damaged by weather, and up to $3.50
and over for the very best.
In the southwest it is becoming
more important as foliage crop and
it is used to considerable extent after
the brush has been removed. The
seed has small feeding value
The two best types of broomcorn
grown in the southwest particularly is
the Dwarf and the Standard The
Dwarf is much liked because it grows
only from four to six inches high with
a brush of from II to 20 inches long,
however, this type is better suited to
the semi-arid regions and to the up
lands of the broomcorn section in the
deal in southern Illinois and other
middle states where it is grown in
small quantities.
The soil should. be plowed in the fall
or early in the winter so that it will
retain as much moisture as possible.
About two weeks before planting the
land should be disked and narrowed,
