I opelousas, La, Jan. as, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Editors The com.
munication of Jan. 2drd signee
Farmer seemed to have caused I
considerable stir in the police
jury room at their last meeting.
I happened in. in the midst Of
the fray when you were trying
to pacify the excited members.
I am sorry that | was not there
at the beginning so | could have
been able to defend myself bet
ter, but as it was I only heard
about half.
The communication was not
written by either Of the carriers,
lit was written by a friend, for
the carriers and signed by three
Of us, as the fourth carrier didn't
want to sign, we changed the
signature to Farmers, not that
we were afraid to sign our real
names, because | didn't see any
thing In the article to offend any
one.
AS I Wake into the police jury
room our friend DR.. Pavy, who
is quite an orator, was express
ing his opinion on the article.
He said in the course OF his
speech that the public had no
right to criticise the action OF the
police jury, and that the writer
of the article didn't know a con-
tinential damn ABOUT gravel.
How about the Doctor telling US
a little Of what he KIN oWs about
gravel? And in my opinion the
police jurors are subject TO cT1ti-
cism by the public as well as any
other public officer or servant.
| want to explain myself to
the public in regard to this sub
ject, and the other carriers can
do the same.
When the question of building
the gravel roads came up I un-
that to be fair to all
they drew lots to see which
be first, second, third and
Washington was first, |
Sunset second, Lawtell third and
Port Barre fourth. Very we'll,
he Washington road was built,
when it was finished Sunset was
constructed, then came LaWtell.
Well they graded a while on the
road, then someone, (I
know not Who) halted the grader
md went to the Port Barre road.
Then after a while they came
lack to the LaVtell road again,
Ind that change was made seye-
al times, then finally the grader
vas sent on the Bellevue road
aading by the Splane place and
i'd some five or six miles of
york. All this time the McKin-
ey Flat, as it is known, was
erfectly dry and the bottom of :
he bitches had cracks in them. J
Judging from what | can, T
aought that there would be no ,

PARISH IN LINE.

The Waterman is glad to an
nounce that the agitation of
building dipping watts for the use
and convenience of the stockmen
of Caldwell parish has been start
ed by our police jury. This is a
move in the right direction and
our police juror members are to
be commended in following the
footsteps of other parishes in the
state. The stockmen of Caldwell
parish will no doubt cooperate
with the police jury in every
way possible, in assisting to de-
crease the cost of installing these
dipping watts to the parish. This
is the way to rid the cattle of
ticks. We quote the final SEN
fences of the bulletin recently
issued by the department: It
costs more to feed the ticks than
it does to kill them. Which do
you prefer to do?"-Caldwell

police jury who think likewise
must think that the parish and

them and that the people who

new ROCKFORD
PLANS CAMPAIGN

New Rockford, N. D., June 29th.---
With $3.50 raised as a nucleus to
which a much larger amount is to be
added, New Rockford is about to
launch a strenuous campaign in every
part of the state for the removed of
the state capital from Bismarck to
this place, under the initiative provis-
ion.
It is said that the boosters of New
Rockford are going to invade every
section of North Dakota in an attempt
to convince the people that New Rock.
ford is the logical location for the
state capital and will ask them to sign
petitions to bring the matter to the
vote of the state.
New Rockford had a bill before the
last legislature for the removal of the
capital to this place, but the bill failed
to bring reults and now, it is said, the
New Rockford people are convinced
that should the matter be brought up
under the initiative law, the removal
will be carried by a good majority.
This, it is said, is the claim Of the
New Rockford boosters, who have
been working quietly on the PROPOSE
ton since the adjournment of the leg
~islature and are now about ready to
begin active operations.
New Rockford claims to be the most
centrally located town in the state,
and easily accessible from every Sec
ton. This, it is said, is especially
true since the completion Of the Surry
line.
It is also said here that the $3.50
raised is just a small starter of a vast
amount that will be raised here and al
various other points, that would bene.
fit by the removal of the capital tt
New Rockford, and it is stated that
the campaign will begin in the neal
future and will be carried on in a Wig
orous manner.

COLMAR BROS.
HERE JULY 18TH

The Gollmar Brothers Show which
exhibits in Devils Lake Friday, July
18th, features everything connected
with it, from the streen parade to the
concert. The press of other cities
have only made the most favorable
comment for Gollmar Brothers pa
rade. Even when the show visits ter
ritory where it has never been, it's
magnificent street pageant so agreea-
bly, surprises the public that they arc
u to crowd the immense tents.
It is in the parade that the man.
agement of a circus can show to good
advantage the stability and character
of the aggregation. If it is a
cheap concern, giving only ordinary
performances, it's parade will demon
strate the fact. If it is really meri-
torious the street display will tell the
tale. The splendid equipment of the
great Gollmar Brothers Circus is
shown to excellent advantage in the
big parade, and it is always compli-
mented. The horses are in fine trim,
and the tableaux, wagons, dens, cages,
and chariots are resplendently decor
ated with costly carvings, gilt and
varnish. An unusually large number
Of dens are open in the parade and the
general public is given a free exhi-
bitian Of a fine array Of wild animals.
All in all, it is pronounced by many
the finest and best circus display ever
seen upon any streets. But it in the
circus performance that the show ex-
GELS.
The parade of the Gollmar Brothers
Show will start from the lot at 1000
o'clock sharp, and traverse the princi-
pal streets.

CORN CULTIVATION
INSuRES PRODUCTION

Every North Dakotan should take
especial pains this year to do every
thing possible to insure success of the
corn crop. The season has been back
ward and this has retarded the corn
growth, but this is true all over the
United States. In some sections of
Indiana and Illinois, corr is not so far
advanced as it is in North Dakota be-
cause the wet weather there made it
impossible to plant until very late.
North Dakota is just gaining a rep
utation as a corn producing state and
a failure to produce good corr would
injure the reputation of the state in
the beginning. Nothing will go so far
toward bringing along the corn plant
now, as careful constant cultivation.
Keep out the weeds, keep the field
thoroughly plowed, tend thecrop care
fully and your corn will grow Won
derfully fast. There is no reason for
assuming that the crop will not make
good this year. Corn in the North
western part efw the state around
Grand Forks is looking fine where it
is we'll cared for, and the further
south it grows, the better it should and
can look.
Last week The World told how to
care for the very young corn. This
week we refer to the second cultiva-
ton. Remember that the first cult
walton starts when the corn is not over
four or five inches high, six-shovel
riding cultivators are used; but if it is
smaller than this we prefer walking
hovel plows. Tenders are used for the
first blowing and the shovels are run
from three to four inches deep. Since
the corn is planted in burrows the dirt
always meets around the hills and COW
ers the small weeds. All the shovels
are pointed traight ahead and the
field is left level after the first plow-
ing. If the ground has been packed
by a beating rain the harrow precedes
the pillow the first time over.
By using furrow openers and har-
rowing the corn once or twice while il
is small it can readily be seen that the
corn will not need to be plowed as
small as is sometimes necessary when
it is not narrowed.
Second Cultivation.
The field is cross cultivated just as
soon as We get to it and that is seldom
soon enough.
Tcultivation is done with shove
plows blowing from three to four in
ches deep if the corn is small and VIZ
are sure that we are not cutting any
corn roots. If the corn is ten niche!
tall We do not pillow more that three
inches deep unless the field is foul. L
is not necessary to pillow as close to thu
hill the second time in order to make
the dirt meet since the hill is on {
level and not on a small ridge, as
would be the case had furrow openers
been used. Take pride in your corr
field--make it look clean like a check
erboard.
