farmers Who can tell me the average
bushels of wheat the past season,
per acre. (Answer, IS or 10. l don't
know, i wiilsshave to take your word
for it, 16 bushels per acre for the
highest estimate. What did you get
for wheat within the last year? CANS
iwer SO cents per bushel), and it costs
about how much to thresh it out, how
many cents? ;CAnswer IA cents a
(bushel), seventy-fve cents left, which
is what the farmer gets for his wheat
He gets :f16 bushels per acre Boys
and girls multiply Is by Is. What
is the answer, sS12.00 per acre. Nov
remember this lis a good year, ovef
the average goo4 yield.
Corn Better Crop Than Wheat.
Suppose that iii acre of ,Squaw corn
such as Mr.. Will grows, suppose tho
farmers have an acre of that, an6
he harvests that acre with swine
Waich is he going to get the mos
from, corn or wheat? Farmers, tina
is a problem for your pocketbool1s
l have settled that question and from
the standpoint of a North Dakota farm
Ell. Tie Governor was very kind il
telling you about. that big farm {
mine, but l am not sure that, he tol6
you / was a North Dakota farmer.
Suppose he ~harvests that witt
swine. He gets at least % bushels
an acre. is that too high? No
enough? I think SO to. Last year at
Elgin, on the Cannon Ball line of the
Northern Pacific railroad We got Is
bushels an acre of that old Squaw
corn. I am not talking about Is busl-
els an acre, but | am talking about
.25, which everyone can grow. Now
if you only get Is bushels per acre
! and then use swine for harvesting the
rain. How much will you get?
This is a question which concerns
the farmers pocket5ooks. You will
get about 10 pounds for every bushel.
This is a question for the boys. Null.
| tiply rs bushels by 10 and you have
$50 pounds. You may get more, but
I am allowing for lower waste. You
can easily get six cents for your pork
alive, which gives you SIS for your
acre of Squaw corn-S15 from your
corn and SIP from your wheat.
Fertility Increase Is Bonus.
But tilat is not all you will get from
that corn, eve though you couldn't
cut the stalks. Leave them until
spring, and they will hold the snow
The land is clean and you are going
to get a better crop of grain next
year than if you sowed it on stub'ble;
One more thing about that corn. That
farmer | referred to at lElgin had 10
acres of corn, and he had Minnesota
No. 10 corn two feet higher than a
mans head, whic;a had ears that were
nicely formed six weeks ago. ! be-
lieve that corn has matured. am
satisfied from what l know about corn
Land know about cows, every acre

will furnish enough to keep a cow
for a whole year. Now what do you
get from every COW as a return for
a year. A cow will give 5000 lbs. OF
milk per year, the cream of that milk
is worth $500. 1T seems to me we
cannot ask to live in a better country.
And If you farmers will only put live
stock On your farms, you will find
farmers from Other states competing
to see who will first get your lands.
Better Opportunities Here.
l have frequently claimed that the
North Dakota farmer can make more
money from growing livestock than
can be made by the farmer in the corn
belt. fear that few persons living
in Dakota will accept that statement
but it is certainly true. Dakota can
grow larger crops of coarse grains
and in greater variety than the same
AN be grown in the corn belt. 1t
IAN grow immensely better crops of
lax and Canadian field peas; both OF
which can render splendid service in
feeding livestock. Dakota can grow
more and larger crops of field roots,
taking it all in all, it can grow as goof
grass crops, including clover and AL
falfa, although it is true that clover
cannot ibe grown with much success
in the western half of Dakota. But
alfalfa can be grown in any part OF
sle state, and also broom grass and
sweet clover. The latter will soo1
become a prominent factor in prOviL
ng pasture. igl Nh =
Best SiIo Corn.
Only in the matter of corn for the
Grain, are the corn belt states ahead
Of Dakota. Corn for the silo, how
ever, can be made to furnish from
8 to ~ tons Of green food per acre,
and it can be grown any season in
any part of the state, providing proper
care is taken with reference to sc.
lecting the seed and caring for the
crop. Some persons imagine that he
cause the winter climate of Dakota is
cold that it is adverse to live stock
development. This is not true when
the stock are protected from falling
storms and from the. sleet of cold
winds. The steady character of the
winter is quite favorable to conditions
that govern preparation OF animals
for the block. When these things
are taken in connection with the rel
atively cheap price of land, it is alb
solutely clear, to me at least, that the
Dakota farmer SHOULD make more prof.
it growing livestock than the farmer
in the corn belt.
More Attention to Alfalfa.
Much more attention should ne
given to the growing of alfalfa. Cur
experience in growing it in western
Dakota has led to the conclusion that
it a he. grown with much success
on almost every class of land that is
not too much saturated WITH water.
We find that the longer we grow it,
the larger crops we get. On n farm
near Richardton, we only obtained
one-half ton per acre the first year.
It has been increasing every year OF
the three years during which it was
raised. The crop Of the present sea.

BASIS OF TRADE NOTE.

BASIS OF TRADE NOTE.
1t Is refreshing to note That the
state department is now busy prepar'
ing representations to England in rel.
erence to our trade relations, espe-
cially with neutrals. A trade note
will he dispatched soon and it's essen
tial points are:
That inasmuch az the German ports
on the Baltic sea are allowed to trace
freely with the Scandinavian coun'
tries the blockade is not effective.
That inasmuch as the Scandinavian
countries only r permitted to trade
freely with German ports the block
ade does not affect all neutral nations
equally and constitutes an. illegai ais
elimination against the United States.
That the blockade violated the pr.11.
ciple Of international law prohibiting
interference with the access OF COIL
merce to neutral ports.
That the practices of the British au.
thorities and the prize cour; in deai.
ing with the seizures of American car
goes constitute an u~nwarranted sub
stitution OF British municipal law zor
international law.
That the operations Of the tblockac'
ing force are not justified even under
the principle Of continuous voyage
laid down by the American judicial
decisions cited by Great Britain.
That Great Britain has ignored the
rules of evidence on destination re-
quired by all legal tribunals IN the ap-
plication of the principle OF "contln-
uous voyage" and mas established a
procedure based on general suspicious
of ultimate destination. .
That in placing the burden Of proof
of destination on the shipper the Brit
dsh government has clearly violated
the rule of International law requiring
q caltor to establish ,contraband
character of a prize.
That the seizure Of American ships
on the high seas. and the detention Of
such vessels in English ports constr
tlte an invasion of the sovereignty
~ +ho TYnAknd N%o+ao '
That the declaration Of cotton anc
other products as contrabanu without
establishing the use Of sucn~ articles
by the armed forces Of Germany IS
contrary Ito international law.

Dean Magic says il we allow women

free country has ever experienced,
that It will change the basis Of repre-
eentation from TIE family to the indi-
vidual, also that woman suffrage will
mean the success Of principles which
win soon bring on an equally pro.

He says in part:
1T is recognized by every one who
understands tie principles of national
life that our system Of government
is q representative ard not a demo
cratic one. The suffragists assume
that a woman is not represented be
cause women do not vote, and taat

how AUTO RACERS
AVOID BLOW OUTS

One Of the chief causes OF blow
outs is the expansion of the air due to
,le heat caused by friction Auto
racers have found that a little DiNon's
Motor Graphite used as tire lubri-
cant not only makes "a better and
easier 1T for the inner tube, but mater
tally reduces heating.
Some racers even claim that blow
out is practically impossible where
Dixon's Motor Graphite has been used
in this way the graphite preserves
the rubber by hlling up the tiny air
spaces and unlike soapstone or tale
has no injurious after effects.
DiXon's Motor Graphite is applied
by rubbing It on the inside of me shoe
or by sprinkling II between the shoe
and the tire. No item Of upkeep runs
into money faster than tire cost when
tires are not properly cared for

II. ROY FRECK

H. Roy Freck is now associated with
the sales department Of the Harris
Engine Company, and is pushing the
popular Cadillac cars.
Mr.. Freck. or "Freckie," as he is
known 10 his host Of friends in and
around Wilmington. has been in the
automobile game for about six years.
During this time he spent about one
year with the Philadelphia sales agents
OF the Marion automobile, following
which for FIVE years he was actively
engaged in selling the well-known
ge-DetrOit cars In Philadelphia,
New York and Wilmington
He is probably best known here, as
during the past two years he has been
very much in evidence as salesman
for the Diamond State Automobile
Company. His thorough knowledge OF
the construction and operation Of au-
tomobiles has stood him In excellent
stead in his work as salesman. Much
of his knowledge has been gathered
at the New York and Philadelphia
auto shows. which he never falls to
attend He has shown the keenest in-
terest in these shows. and was active
in the promotion OF the successful
show held in Wilmington last year at
the Hotel DUPONT.
He has always been enthusiastic
over automobile racing. and has par
ticipated in numerous races in difter
ent parts of the East. His driving in
the recent races at the Delaware State
Fair is well remembered.
Before becoming associated with the
! Harris Engine Company he spent some
/ time at the Cadillac factory, so that
/ he could thoroughly familiarze him
self with the construction Of the car
/ he would represent.
His knowledge, popularity aud per
sonality should be Of great value C

particularly in the Blackford School
of Character Analysis by Observation.
and IL has been approved by Dr.

graduate of DR.. Blackford's school
II Is a sliding measure. built on the

more complicated. DR.. Blackford has
approved Of il and uses II i'm the
course. In connection with the school
there is also a home study course.
These instruments are proving Of
great aid to the students i'm verifying
their observations. They have been
sent all over the United States and
have even gone to India
The instrument is used only when
the student wishes to prove certain
proportionate measurements he is
taught to judge with the naked eye.
After verifying quite a number of
these observations. a student then can
discard the instrument. Mr. Farra
has taken up the course in connection
