Reclaim Alkali Soil
With Sweet Clover
Experiments Prove .ha. Planting Swee,
Glover will Reclaim Waste AlkaIi
Laad.-Clover is Good Feed

Much interest in problem which
will mean the reclamation OF 9
great deal Of land in different part:
OF the state. is being taken in Grand
Forks, where experiments are being
made in the matter of utilizing al
kali lands AS q means of using
such lands, the growing of sweet
clover is being tested Eear Larimorc.
Sweet clover has been grown there
asa field crop for about three years
and has proved adaptable to sandy
and alkali soil. In seeding it is
found, that after stock has become
accustomed to it, it is well rclislod.
On the Crystal Springs Stock Farm,
it has been pastured, fed as hay,
fed as silage, and in all forms.
There has been no trouble in getting
stock to consume large quantities.
The production of seed has been
found to be very profitable, as it
sells for about twenty-five cents per
pound. The demand comes princi-
paily from the east, where it is
grown on lands that are so worn out
that it is difficult to grow anything
but sweet clover
Some of the advantages of sweet
clover are: Rich in protein like
alfalfa; furnishes early spring pas
ture; great soil enriching crop; good
green manure crop; seeds freely;
will grow where clover and alfalfa
fail, on low, wet, alkali and acid
soils or on poor soils. especially ON
light sandy soil.
Some Of the disadvantages are:
Ii allowed to grow too large stems
become hard and bitter and leaves
fall off. Not relished by stock as a |
rule until they become accustomed
to it.
The successful use of alkali land
much added value to many
sections of our state.

U. S. Crop Estimate
Benefits Producers
u. S. Bureau Of Crop Estimate. Mater
tally Benefits the Farmer.-Crop
Reports are Mostly Reliable

The Bureau of Crop Estimate
replies to occasional inquiries wheth
er the Government crop report may
mot benefit the Spectator rather
than the farmer, as follows:
The Department OF Agriculture,
being instituted to encourage and
assist agriculture in every possible
way, would not maintain bureau
the work Of which could in any wa,
prove detrimental to farming inter
ests. The aim OF the crop-report-
ing service is to give everyone, at
J the same time and without charge,
an unbiased estimate OF crop condi-
tions.
! Before the department UNDER
took the issuance Of this public crop
report, private speculative interests
long had been collecting such adj
vance information as they could and
using it to their own advantage.
Today many spectators and large
buyers of farm products do not de-
pend wholly upon the government
crop report for. their information.
They maintain a regular system for
collecting information through tray
cling agents and corps of reporters.
largely local buyers who, in ex-
change for their local information,
receive the information issued re-
garding general conditions and
prices.
In the absence of the govern
ment report the country would have
to depend wholly upon privately
prepared reports Even If these
reports were supplied free. farmers
would have to guard themselves
against having the information reach
them only after it had been used
for private speculative purposes ("

NOW is THE TIME TO CLEAN

aa
II you have not already a fire de-
ipartment, organize one.
See that the water supply Is In good
condition and kept that way at all
times, ready for any emergency.
I Get together and have a cleanup
day. All turn in and help to keep It
up. Don't lay down because one or
two may shirk their duty, but keep at
it all the time; and remember, every
fire prevented is money in your pock-
cts, and the fewer fires, the less your
insurance will cost.
Don't overinsure; you are paying
out money uselessly, for if you should
have a fire the chances are ten to one
you won't get the full amount OF the
face. of your insurance policy, and Y
you use care you won't need probably
one-half the amount you now carry,
and that means saving which is your
right.
h Clean up and prevent fire. II is in
teresting work and it pays and pays
big. Get together, one for all and ali
for one for fire prevention and saving
in fire waste.
