SAVE 81 r. e CORN

How much seed corn will be rip
ened in Stark, Dunn, Billings and Het.
finger counties this year? Beyond
doubt that quantity will be small.
Corn is the. one great field crop for
which the conditions Of this year have
not been favorable. Ripened corn
will be the exception, and not the rule.
For this reason it is important that
car be taken to save every bushel of
perfect corn that is raised. in the
state this year. Southern seed corn
can be purchased, it is true. But
southern seed corn will not fill the
bill. For several years North Da-
kota has been developing a corn of it's
own, suited to the conditions Of this
latitude, yielding well and ripening
early. To return 10 Iowa and Illinois
for our seed supply will be to aban-
don the excellent results Of several
years development and selection.
It is particularly desirable that all
the corn that develops perfectly in
these counties thia year be saved
for seed, because Of the fact that in
addition to the general shortage of
northern grown seed. corn that ripens
well under the adverse conditions OF
this year has passed through a sift-
ing process which win have left only
that which approaches perfection
Corn that Sripens here this year has
demonstrated its fitness for the con.
ditions of the county, and not q kernel
Of it should be wasted. II

THE STARK co. LANDS
RAISED BY STATE BOARD

The state board of equalization has
finished its work and it is found that
the Stark county lands are boosted 20
per cent and improvements 10 per
cent. Real estate and improvements
thereon in villages and cities get a
10 per cent raise.
The personal property raises have
not been announced, but there is an
increase all along the line.
The railroads came in for a big
raise of $12,0O0,OOO over last year or
almost 81 per cent. Personal prop
erty for the state was raised about
Sc, 000,0 00, while lands were raised
about rs per cent. Every item in per-
sonal property was changed and the
county auditors will have a job this
fall. State Auditor J%orgenson will be
busy for some time making the chang
es and notifying the 81 auditors Of
the state. - ,x

FORMER DICKINSON LADY
SELLS FARM

Many of our readers will be in
terested in the following about a lady
who lived in Dickinson for many years
while employed as reporter by W. A.
Carter on the Recorder:
-. Miss Marguerite Patterson, who
was in town during the latter part
of the week from Lennon, sold half
a section of land this week to Cor
don Danley Of ten miles southwest of
town. The land is the north half of
sec. 81, twp. 100, range 102, and
joins Mr.. Danley's homestead quarter.
There is a good coal mine on the
place and also a spring of living
water. Mr.. Danley intends to fence
the place and stock it with a bunch of
young cattle. Mr.. Danley is of
the most successful farmers in his
neighborhood and will undoubtedly
make his new land pay him big divi-
dends.-Bowman Citizen.

WHAT THEY SAY

Lloyd RAIDER: My wheat was sown
early and was not hurt any by rust as
I can see. 1t looks as though the
yield woald be 20 to rs bushels to

Charles Peeler: I sowed $40 acres
Of wheat and I have only 107 acres
that I call really good. It will make

corn and potatoes were grown last
year, I do not expect to take out. of

Pat Rogers place sown May / to 10,
will probably yield z to 10 bushels.
The 100 acres on the Nolan farm is
only worth cutting for feed.

The Benz. Webb farm at Richardton
has a large acreage of very fine wheat
this year which promises a yield of
20 to Is bushels per acre. 1t was
sown early and matured before the
rust period. The winter wheat on
this farm was u%ninjured by hail. Mr..
Webb has charge Of the Northern Pa
| cific demonstration farm of 40 acres
at Richardton and is highly pleased
with the showing on the various
plots. Prof. Thomas Shaw and Di-
rector Wilson recently visited. the
farm and were delighted with the
crops Of grain, alfalfa, fruit, etc., on
the farm.
The J.. ". lessen farm just west of
the city turned out better than ex-
pected,, giving a yield, of 22Al bushels
per acre. There was considerable
rust in the field, otherwise the yield
would probably have been IS bushels.
John. Reiner: plan to commence

missioner District was accepted. A
new commissioner was then appointed
for that district by the appointing
board, which consists of the two
remaining commissioners, E. D. Peck
and w. M. Neuens, Auditor J. A..
Berry and Judge V. E. Pehrsson, and
in Ease of a tie vote, County Treas
urer Tester. C. F. Olson of Gorham
and C. E. Geeseman of Fayette were
nominated. 1t was not necessary to
call in the county treasurer as the
first vote stood three to one in favor
of Mr.. Geeseman, who will qualify at
once and meet with the board at the
next meeting, September 9th.
Mr.. Mead has won the unqualified
esteem Of the people as commissioner,
at all times proving that he had the
interests of the county at heart, and
for this reason we naturally have
some regret that he has seer fit to
leave the board. However, Mr..
Geeseman is entirely capable of fill
ing the vacancy and we believe will
prove himself an efficient public serv-
ant.

for the spenldid and unusual quality
of her voice and her keen characteri-

The making of feathers requires
good food. The grains, such as wheat,

meat scraps from the house Or the
commercial meat scraps can be fed
to good advantage. If the hens arc

G, 5. CRYNE ANSWERS
THE MEYER ARTICLE

In the Forum of September 3 ap-
peared the following letter from G. S.
Cryne of Gladstone:
I note the replies of Messrs. Foley
and Orchard to an article written by
one, Meyer.
Now, if that man Meyer believes
that he al substantiate the least of
his absurdities, he is greatly mis-
taken. Where does he find a more
substantial and fore-handed lot of
people than are homed in the west
Missouri country?
Where has more substantial prog
ress been made, than has been made
in this section of the country west of
the great Missouri river in North Da-
kota? There are many men now fore
handed, and some that have accumu-
lated very substantial wealth, since
they have cast in their lots with the
people who pioneered the country
thlrty-three years ago.
There is ne poverty and distress.
| know of no paupers, properly speak
ing. I do know of interested people,
like the men who are attempting to
engineer and promote doubtful
schemes to get the farmers in line to
do things, that as a rule farmers
would do much better to leave to men
of capital, and who have had train
ing along the line of buying and sell
ling commodities raised by the farm
ers.
Today, after reading The Forums
article, and what Messrs. Foley and
Orchard said in rebuttal of Mr..
Meyers assertions, I took quite an
extended ride with S. D. Gregg, who
owns a section of good farm land
three miles north of Gladstone, and
incidentally I rode past James Shurt-
lifts quarter section sown to Durum
wheat about the 18th to goth of
April. There I saw a Big Four n
CINE hauling four 8-foot elf-binders,
cutting said grain. The engine wa
travelling a three mile gait, which
means that every time the outfit goes
across the piece-a half mile-it has
cut just a little bit less than two
acres of grain, and has bound it ready
for the shocker. Anyone that can fig
ure can easily see how long it will
take to cut the 100 acres of grain,
barring breakdowns and other Incl
dental hindrances.
MI. Shurtiff has 900 acres of the
stuff to cut, and he affirms that I
saw the poorest field and good judges
estimate it at twenty or more BUSH
els per acre.
Smaller fields of early wheat of diff
ferent varieties will give large yields;
late wheat will be a poor crop; other
kinds of grain, such as barley and
oats, are good yields. However, as a
general thing, estimates have been
too high this summer. That is, the
wet weather caused a little too much
optimism.
Now, Brother Orchard, I always
credited you with an average good
memory, but I see by your article that
you overlooked the fact that Glad
stone is still on the map, and has been
for just thirty-three years. She was
the first town plated in Stark county,
and had the first depot building. She
now has four grain elevators, whose
united capacity is 100000 bushels and
she has at her back the finest areas
devoted to farming of any town, bar
none.
Speaking from a personal knowl-
edge of thirty-three years I must
reiterate the assertion that relatively
speaking, there is less poverty in the
region under discussion than any area
of equal size that I eve saw.

grain IS very poor.
The Jack Leonberger farm just
northeast Of the city has 120 acres of
as fine wheat as can be found any
where. It will probably give an aver
age yield of about rs bushels to the
acre. The grain was sown in April
and ripened early.

Several important House and

Definite Action

The house OF representatives passed
its 5Cth day OF the session today with
only six important bills and one reso-

ing. Some routine matter remains un
acted upon, but the rush of the clos.
ing DAYS should clear up all Of this,
says house leaders. Whether a rash
OF bills from the senate at the close
OF the session will force a continued
session is a matter OF conjecture in
the lower body. The important meas
ures before the house which have not
yet reached the senate are:

KUP|HEA SHAMES
HAWAII, DECLARE
WOMEN TOULOUSE

Sentiment against Representative
David M. Kupihea, who is under fire
in the house on charges of being NOR
ally unfit to sit as a member" is
spreading among the representatives
and it is believed there is a good
chance that the Rawlins resolution to
expel him will be adopted when it
comes up for consideration Monday.
Fuel was added to the fire against
Kupihea today when the central COM
mittee on child welfare, representing
80 local organizations filed a protest
against Kupihea being retained in the
legislature.
Kupihea received his check for 5000,
the last payday of the session today,
so at any rate he will not have to
worry financially over the proposed ex-
pulsion. The communication is as fol-
lows:
ITO the Honorable Speaker and Mem.
bers of the House of Representatives
of the Territory of Hawaii:
gentlemen:
I '"The central committee on child vel.
fare, representing 80 organizations of
this city, passed a FORMAL protest
against the presence in the legislature
of Representative D. M. Kupihea on
February q, 1915. This we withheld
pending the investigation requested by
that member. But now that the re-
ports are a matter of public record,
we enter our protest.
You, Mr.. Speaker, and members of
the house of representatives, repre-
sent the highest form of the common
will Of all the people of this terri
tory. Diverse in race, m training and
in worldly station, the citizens have
chosen you to make those laws and
determine those policies by which a
community is governed. Therefore, we
solemnly protest against the presence
among you Of this man who has
brought to shame Hawaiian fatherhood
wherever the name of Hawaii is known
and we further pray that the said
D. M. Kupihea may be expelled from
the house of representatives.
Yours truly,

run of this disease averages one or
two cases month. One of the cases
is in Kaiihi and the last one was re-

have been taken to prevent a pos.
sible spread. The board reports there
is no epidemic of the disease
Asked regarding a possible cause
of the four cases, Sanitary Engineer
s. w. Tay said this morning that the
disease is due largely to the manner
of living by the patients and not from
a poor water supply due to low reser-
voirs. The engineer says the depart
ment has been keeping close touch
on the water situation, and that the
water in Nuuanu was being given a
strong injection of chlorine.
