TO FARMERS
Of THE STATE

I am writing this short note to call
the attention of the farmers Of the
state to fact that there are certain un-
scrupulous dealers in seed running
about the state, making sales, showing
samples of rather good stuff and ap-
parently delivering samples of very
poor seed. It seems necessary that
farmers should be on their guard in
these matters.
In making purchases of expensive
seed, such as clover, alfalfa, new va
rieties, ETC., in which high prices are
charged, it is particularly wise that
you have man give references and
you should be sufficiently fore-handed
in your business methods to require
him to submit samples long enough
before you buy to have them properly
examined and tested. This is espec-
tally true with regard to alfalfa in
which there is apt to be seeds of the
alfalfa pest known as dodder.
The North Dakota Pure Seed La
boratory can help you very materially
if you submit samples before you buy,
but if you buy before you submit the
samples, the process Of correcting the
matter is much more difficult.-H. L.
Boelly, State Seed Commissioner.

MANY AUTOS
IN n. OAK.

Bismarck, April 22.-Working over
time the clerks in charge of the issu-
ance of auto licenses find it impossible
to keep up. During this month over
three thousand applications for auto
licenses have been received and so I'M
usual is the number that Chief Clerk
Walla finds it impossible to get caught
up.
It is expected that at least $4,000
licenses will be issued during the cur
rent year which will far exceed the
number ever issued in the state before.
The number Of applications to the 15tl,
Of this month exceed the total applica-
tions ever made before in any one
month and there seems to be little
likelihood of the steady stream letting
up. Many of the auto owners Of the
state have apparently put off the Sc
curing Of their license tags until the
roads opened up, but the fine weather
of the last few days has brought them
all in with rush.

ORT0N Gets A
LIFT: SENTENCE

Last Saturday Clarence Orton,
who recently made fml confession to
the murder of John Scott, an aged
farmer near Hansboro, Towner county
was taken before Judge Buttz at Can
do and was given a life sentence in the
state penitentiary. He is a young
man of only 23 years, and has lived
with his parents near Hansboro for
many years. He killed the old man
for what little money and personal
property he had, and then circulated
the report that he had left the country
after giving Orton bill of sale of his
personal property. Nothing was
thought of this for some time, but
finally the neighbors became suspic-
ious and thorough investigation was
made and the body Of the murdered
man was found buried in a manure
pile on the farm. Suspicion pointed
to young Orton and he was arrested
and made a full confession and plead
guilty and is now safely in the pen
itentiary. It was quick justice as on
ly few days elapsed between the
time Of his arrest and his landing in
Bismarck. 1t was one Of the most
cold blooded murders that was ever
committed in this part Of the state.

HOW To MIX
GOPHER POISON

We believe that the most economi-
cal gopher poison is strychnine and if
the following will be carried out you
will get all the gophers on any lands
where the poison is put out.
Take is bottles of strychnine and
put into small can, tomato can will
do, pour on about pint Of boiling
water and stir until you are sure that
the strychnine is all dissolved. Take
12-quart pail and fill nearly half full
Of hot water and then pour in your
poisoned water and stir up. Add
about pint Of cheap syrup. Then
stir in ground oats or ground barley as
long as the water will take any Of the
grain, this should make about pail
full. Let it stand for a couple of
hours. Put about a teaspoonful at every
gopher hole you can find, and a little
later go over the field and note the re-
suits. You will find it gets them.

The following interesting story
about President Garfield is told in the
May American Magazine:
l., "James R. Garfield, of Cleveland,
son Of the late President Garfield, told
one of the editors of the American
Magazine the following story about
travelling in 1878 as a boy with his
father who was campaigning. One
night, after speech in Michigan,
young Garfield said to his father:
"Why do you repeat so much? Do
you know you said the same thing sew
eral times tonight? Do you know
that you said the same things tonight
that you said this afternoon in Detroit?
General Garfield made this reply:
"You happen to be an especially in
terested party and notice these re-
petitions. Others do not. I repeat
the same statements deliberately in
order that the people may finally get
them. Anything that I want an aud
ience to get and remember I repeat
several times-in somewhat different
form perhaps. This practice I have
developed out of my experience which
has shown me that people le'sattention is
distracted in various ways and that a
first or second statement may not get
to them. You must insist on an idea
if you want to get anywhere with it. !"
