GREEN MANURE EXPERIMENTS

Results Obtained From Different arm
Stations In NORTH Dakota.
Prepared by North Dakota experiment
statiOn.1 -. - =
There is a difference of opinion as to
the effect on soil fertility Of allowing
the land to lie bare. The practice is
generally thought to be destructive Of
humus. Due to the high straw yields
on fallow plats, approximately as
much straw is taken off one acre Of
fallow as is produced on two acres
continuously cropped. Both of these
systems are deficient in that no pro-
vision is made for directly or indirect
ly maintaining soil fertility. A modi-
fed form of summer tillage is the
blowing under Of crop. This prac-
tice of green manuring, aside from
being partial fallow, supplies the
material necessary for restoring or
keeping up @the humus content of the
soil. In this way both soil fertility
and moisture conservation should be
attained.
In the work here reported three
crops have been used as green ma
nures-namely, rye, peas and sweet
clover. Williston does not use sweet
clover. Winter rye is used at Willis
ton and Dickinson and spring rye at
Edgeley and Hettinger. A supposed
advantage of winter rye is the fact
that this crop can be plowed under
earlier In the season. This gives an
additional month for moisture con.
servation, which is of considera BILE ad
vantage in the western portion of the
state.
Sweet clover, being a biennial plant,
Is seeded with the grain crop Of the
previous year.. Thus no extra cultiva~
tiun nSisErequiredf for its production: II
the eastern parts Of the state this
method Of handling the land is prob
ably more nearly like the ordinary
method Of handling fallOw than any of
the other methods of summer tillage or
green manure except that with the Or
binary fallow weeds may take the
place Of the green manure crops. >
These crops are grown in a series of
four year rotations planned according
to the following general schedule:
Small grain, corn, small grain, green
manure, and then repeated. Another
set of rotations substitutes summer
tillage for green manure.
From the standpoint of immediate re-
turns it is evident that green manuring
as compared with clean fallow has not
increased the yield Of the wheat crop
at any Of the stations. Where oats fol-
lowed the green manure we note mega
tive results, except at Williston, where
oats after the green manures average
higher than oats after fallow. This
greater advantage in 1913 was due to
the weeds choking: the oats on fallOW.
In all probability, with the soil still In
almost it's original state of fertility,
the practice of green manuring will not
materially increase the present yields
produced under the ordinary following
system. While the moisture problem
is more important than the fertility
problem, as measured by Immediate re-
turns, this system will not be generally
practiced with profit. Due to the short
period of the trials, no relia BILE data can
be given on the matter of residual ef-
fects as measured by crops grown sew
eral years, after the treatment.

Aberdeen. S. D., May THE mys-
terry of the robbery of a Uniteu St..>.'
mail car at Mobridge, 5. d.. on May ]

John Dahl, a mail clerk. Dahl CON
fessed to stealing five registered pack
ages and led inspectors to a spot where
he had concealed the missing packets.
one parcel contained $1,01O, con-

now in session here.
Dahl is a former student at the

Cathay, n. D.
Dahl first reported that his car had
been robbed during his temporary alb

TO DEMAND PAYMENT ON
FORFEITED DELANEY BOND

Fairfax. S. D., May S.-The Gregory
county authorities have taken steps to
collect the forfeited bond of Charles
Delaney, who disappeared following his
conviction In the state circuit court OF
the charge of being II of the chief
principals in one of the boldest cattle
-"rustling" raids made in South Dakota
for several years. After being con-
victed Delaney furnished a bond of S.
600 through a surety company for his
appearance at the time fixed for SEN
tence being imposed in his case. Then
he disappeared. AS the first move in
the effort to collect the amount of his
bond a deputy sheriff went to Delaney's
home and seized 40 head of horses
which are alleged to be the property
of the fugitive. Delaney and several
other defendants were charged with
stealing q head of cattle from a home
steader named Lenzer. The stolen ami
mails finally were shipped to Sioux City.
where the theft was detected by stock
inspectors and the arrests followed. One
of the defendants already has been con-
victed and lodged In the Sioux Falls
p~enitenttary, while others are to be
tried at an adjourned term of clrcui
court to convene June Is.

GERMANY WARNED
BY UNITED STATES
Recent Note Informed Berlin
That Kaiser's Government
WouIdB Be Held Responsible
In Case of Attack.

Washington, ID. G., May 10.-When
the German admiralty proclaimed the
waters around Great Britain anG ire
land a war zone and warned neutral
vessels against the dangers that lay
therein. the United States did not ad-
init Gernlany's right to place hazards
in the way of American vessels or lives.
There was no distinction drawn then
as to whether the representations of
III United States covered Americans
travelling on beiiigerent or neutral
craft. but officials informally disclosed
later that the note q been purposely
DhlaSed as to cover both contingencies.
The language of the American note was
everywhere recalled last night as "a
possible index of the policy to be pur-
sued. The decision at the time arose
particularly over the misuse of flags
OF bellieerent vessels, the Lusitania
itself having flown an American flag
to escape attack from German subma-
rines. The United States remon-
strated with Great Britain over such
use of the American flag and said at
the same time in a note to Germany:
"lf the commanders of German
vessels OF war should act upon the
presumption that the flag of the
United States was not being used '
in good faith and should destroy on
the high seas an American vessel or
tho lives of American citizens it
Would be difficult to view the act in
any other light than as an indie
fensibIe violation of neutraI rights,
which it would be very hard indeed
to reconcile with the friendly re-
lations now existing between the
two governments.
IF such a deplorabIe situation
should arise. the imperial German
government can readily appreciate
that the government of the United
States would be constrained to hold
the German government to a strict
accountability for such acts of their
naval authorities and to take any
steps that might be necessary to
safeguard American lives and prop
erty and to secure to American
citizens the full enioyments of their
acknowledged rights on the hiql,
seas"
Officials, however, We're careful to
point out that if no American lives
were lost there might be many quail
Tying circumstances which would re-
move from the present incident the
vital interest that the United States
otherwise might have in it.
1t was indicated. for example, thai a
marked division Of opinion had existed
among legal authorities as to whether
a hostile vessel need give any warn
ing to a merchantmen travelling under
convoy. for the exercise of right Of
visit and search to determine the pres
ence OF contraband. Such conditions
obviously would imperil the safety of
the attacking vessel itself. On the
other hand it had been urged that un-
der no circumstances can an unar,ned
merchantmen be attacked unless re
sist1ng capture or attempting to run 2
blockade.

WILL GIVE BOYS CHANCE
TO RAISE THEIR MELONS

Violin. S. d.. May S.-To remove the
temptation of luscious watermelons
growing within night riding districts,
p. $, Violin, a farmer living near Violin,
has formulated a plan to give the
town boys a chanc to raise their own
w~atermelons, as well as muskmelons
and pumpkins. Violin is noted as a
raiser of watermelons. n each sea-
son for a number of years the town
boys have raided his patch and har-
vested or destroyed the greater part Of
the crop. To remedy this and remove
temptation for further aids he has
offered the boys of Violin al acre OF
his Ian free of charge, on condition
that they plant it to watermelons,
muskmelons and pumpkins. The only
other requirement is that they take
roper care of the crop. The boys nave
not yet accepted the liberal offer, and
now are debating whether melons
which are stolen would taste better
than melons of their own raising.

WOMAN CLAIMS that
HUSBAND and RENTER
BEAT HER WITH WHIP
Two Alleged Assailants Under
Arrest-Reason For Action
Not Brought Out.

Bruno. S. D., May S.-Henry Platt
and G. Baker have been placed under
arrest here on the charge of brutally
whipping Mrs. Platt with a BLACK
snake whip. Baker is a renter on the
S0-acre farm left to Mrs. Platt by her
former husband, and on which the
Platt and Baker families have been re-
siding. The case is a very unusual one
and promises to be quite sensational.
So far the local authorities have not
given u the inside reasons for the
abusive treatment, although it is as
sumed they are advised on that point.
The woman in the case. who alleges
such brutal treatment, formerly was
the wife of Knute Erickson, a farmer
living near Bruce. who died about a
year ago Erickson left his widow so
acres of valuable farm land. She aft
erWard married Henry Plat and the
farm was rented to G.. Baker, one of
ne in the criminal action,
and Baker and his wife and Plat and
his wife lived together on the farm.
Fol reasons which yet are a mys-
terry, 1t is charged the two men some
weeks ago commenced treating Mrs.
Platt In a brutal manner and finally
commenced whipping her. using a
"blacksnake" whip. 1t is charged that
when examined by physicians in the
presence of the county authorities, her
body was found to be covered with
Welts n bruises.
1t is further charged thai the two
men on several occasions locked the
woman In a room in the house and
made her a prisoner to prevent her
from running away. Finally she sue
ceeded in making her escape and came
to Bruce.
Great Indignation was aroused
among the citizens when she recited
her story of alleged brutal treatment,
and the arrest of her alleged torment
ors soon followed. They were taken
into custody by the sheriff and remain
In his charge pending their prelim-
mary hearing, being unable to furnish
bonds.
