OSCAR WILL BELIEVES
CORN WILL MATURE

'''With six weeks Of very warm
weather and no frost until after
September 18th, very fan
crop Of corn may be- expected,
providing thorough shallow culti-
walton is given until the tassels
begin to appear. - This is the
opinion of Oscar H. Will Of Bis
marck, who has been corn
grower in North Dakota for
the past thirty -four years.
While corn at this date is
unusually,backward, conditions
with this crop are not different
than with others, which. are fully
twenty days behind what they
were on an even date last year.
A distant advantage this season
over others it.is an import
ant one-is that much greater
percentage Of the seed planted
this spring was North Dakota
grown.
Too much Importance can not
be attached to the necessity Of
giving thorough cultivation from
now until tasseling out, SO that
the corn will be given an oppbr-
tunity to make the best progress
possible, as it would be a decided
loss to the state. If a fairly good
crop Of corn is not matured this
season.
September. almost invariably, is
the best corn month Of the year,
and optimists in North Dakota
are looking forward to satisfac-
tory results, even though present
indications are net all that could
be desired.

Favorable Year
For Agriculture
Weather Conditions Ideal for the
Small Grain-Prospects We're
Never Better

Prospects for an abundant
harvest of small grain were never
more promising in these parts.
The oldest Of old timers do not
recall season that promised
better than this one. 1882, 1891,
1895, 1902 and 1914 were good
years, but present indications are
that 1915 will eclipse all the
good harvest years. All kinds
of grain is uniformly gocd-whe;
flax, barley, oats and rye are as
good as any cline or any soil can
produce. The wild grass crop is
also good and pastures have been
excellent all through the season
and tame alfalfa, bronze.
grass and timothy are assured Of
being a big crop. Corn, due to
much cold and cloudy weather,
is not promising, but with a fall
like that Of last year will get fair
results. The coming week will see
winter rye and barley cutting in
full swing and the 18th of Aug
ust will bring on some, Of the
wheat ready for the binder. We
are ri ght on the eve of a big
harvest and the harvest and good
prices for.all. .kindsof.products of
the farm will result in prosperous
times for these parts. Cattle
and hogs are also bringing good
returns and are leading factors
in making for the prosperity for
1915. Shippers are offering up
to seven cents for prime steers
and hogs are bringing six cents
and better locally. Eggs are
finding ready market at good
prices and butter fat at the iccal
creamery has not gone: below
twenty-four cents this year. More
than 100 horses have been sold
for export in the Washburn,
territory during the past ninety
days. The horses shipped cut
have been Of 4 medium grade an
have brought from 500 to $3.50
per head. Good times are in
store for us and there will be
much improving Of a permanent
nature during the coming year.

A GOOD WAY TO
STACK ALFALFA

J. H. w., an experienced farm
er Of Butte county, South Da+
kota., sends to the Farmer, St.
Paul, his method Of stacking alf7
alta:
Alfalfa is probably the most
difficult to cure Of any kind OF
hay. Most farmers find it al;
most impossible to properly cure
alfalfa. 1t invariably turns out
to be either bleached or musty.
[ have read articles where some
farmers advised stacking tempo
rarily, and then re-stacking soon
after. Some advise stacking a
layer of alfalfa and layer Of
dry straw alternately. The fol-
lowing device insures better
hay than any other plan | have
ever tried: Make sawhorses four
feet high ard as long as the
hay stack. Make the legs Of
2x4 and the top piece Of 2x6
set on edge. Nail two fence
boards or 2x4 or the outside Of
the legs more than half way,
down. Nail a board across the
lower part of the legs to keR:
them at least two feet apart
Stack your hay over this SO that,
when your stack is completed
there will be an ga" shaped
tunnel running from end to end
through the center of the stack,
BY this method the sides Of the
stack will settle more than the
middle, thus giving a pitch TO-
the. hay, rooflike, which will :
shed rain. Follow this plan and
you will have very little mustY
hay, or damagedby water, and(
it may be- stacked greener.
By this method air is circulated
through the stack and prevents

of quack1grass, this valuable
pasture and hay grass is becom-
ing much more popular, par
ticularly in the drier portions Of
the state.
The way to be- sure that there
is no quack-grass in a Bronze
grass field is to inspect the field
carefully while the grass is in
the head. AS far as possible, on
request, l will send an expert
to examine any bronze grass
field, if the owner expects to
cut the grass to thresh for seed.
Ii any such fields are found to-
be free from quack-grass, and tie
bronze grass seed is properly
saved, the Pure Seed Laboratory
will be able to certify to that
fact according to state law.
Farmers will also find the in
spectors information relative to
quack-grass, other weeds and
farm seeds of value.
II you desire such field aid,
kindly let us hear from you at
once. The season is short and
our funds are limited. We wish
tO lay out routes which will
make it possible for the inspector
to visit the largest number of
fields. w.
In applying for inspection,
state railway station and rural
route addresses. You or together
with your neighbors, should ar
range with this office to meet
the inspector and care for his
travel from station to- farm and
return. If interested, give us
the names Of others who are
growers Of Bronze grass in your
neighborhood.

Government surveys of railroad
grants in Nevada win be completed
within a few weeks. Beginning next
year the Southern Pacific company.
the holding corporation for the Cen
tral Pacific, will pay much heavier
taxes in Humboldt, Elko. Eureka, and
Lander counties. The title to several
hundred sections that have always

which patents have not been issued,
win actually be vested, it is an

the surveys are finished, says the
Humboldt Star.
OF the seven government surveying
corps in Nevada four are devoting
their time to a survey of the railroad
grants. When these surveys are fin.
ished, state officials learned yester-
day, all this land will be subject to
taxation by the counties in which It
is located. Technically 1t has been
government land, and the counties,
therefore. have not assessed 1t.
