Rotations and Returns

One plat at the North Dakota
experiment station that has
been in wheat for fifteen years
has produced 2O6 bushels. A
similar plat that has been in
corn one year followed by
wheat three years and 40 on
throughout the fifteen years
has produced 1884 bushels of
wheat while another plat on
which the corn was manured
and followed by three crops of
wheat, produced 1924 bushels
of wheat. The total returns
for the three plats were: for
the first, 500. 80, for the second
$40. 80 and for the third $l96. :
O9, or nearly twice as much as
from the first one. This is a
fine demonstration of how the
most simple rotation greatly
increases the returns.

DR.. THYNG DIESAT
ROCHESTER, MINI.
Well Known Physlslan, Formerly o'
Willow City, Suecumbs 10 Rare
and lnourahIe Disease

Seldom, if ever. in the history
of this community, has there
been experienced the wave OF
sorrow and regret that swept
over Bottineau county and this
section of the state, when word
came from the Mayo hospital
at Rochester, Minnesota, Sun
day morning that DR.. D. K.
Thyng of Tacoma, WASH, form
erly of Willow City, had died
there Saturday morning at four
o'clock.
Particulars of DR.. Thyngs 8
illness and death are lacking
other then that for some time
past he has been afflicted with
a very rare blood disease known
to the medical world as
'leucamia." From the first
the skilled physician and sur
geon realized that his case was
almost hopeless and asked to
be taken to Rochester for con-
sultation. He was accompani-
ed there by his wife and a
doctor, and the end came short
ly after their arrival.
DR.. Thyng practiced at Will
low City for ten years, leaving
there in 1910, when he went to
Germany to take a post gradu-
ate course in surgery. On his
return to the United States he
located at Tacoma, Wash., and
has since made that place his
home.
DR.. Thyng was about 3S years
of age and was married to Miss
Harriet Stone of Lowell, Mich.
at Willow City in 1900. He is
survived by his wife and aged
mother.
The remains were taken tC
Osceola, Wisconsin, for inter
ment beside his father, who
died few wears ago, and hi:
only brother who was acci
dentally shot and killed near
Willow City some twelve years
ago.
In the death of Date Kimbal
Thyng the family name dies
with him, as no male relatives
survive.

Remarkable Yield

A little over two years ago
Hugo Gailfus bought one bu-
shel of Marquis wheat for 81. 30.
;s he sowed in the spring of
T9 on one acre of land and
got sixteen bushels of clean
seed from it. Next year he
sowed sixteen bushels and
threshed one hundred and
twenty-five bushels. He sold
IS bushels of this and sowed
the other 60 bushels on sixty
acres of land. From this yield
he has just threshed 218O bus.
The machine was set for 81
pounds to the half bushel and
on that basis, assuming that
the measured bushel does not
exceed 60 pounds, he really got
1874 bushels per acre. But the
wheat will over run in weight,
perhaps enough to make 4O
bushels. At any rate it is a re-
markable yield, and emphasizes
the benfits of good farming.
Mr.. Gailfus has not yet thresh.
ed his barley, but his oats yield
ed 30 bushels per acre. Turtle

BETTER MARKET
FOR B0TTlNEAu
Local Business Men Arranging 10 &c.
cure Wheat Market Equal 10 Any
In BotiIneau County

A big meeting of the leading
business men of BOttineau was
held Wednesday afternoon for
the purpose of securing in the
county seat a grain market
equal, if not better, than that
of any other town in the coun-
ty. Steps were taken towards
remedying existing conditions
without delay and farmers will
be assured from now on of get
ting the top market price for
their grain, which unfortun-
ately has not always been the
case in the past.
A committee was appointed
to confer with the buyer at the
independent elevator in BOtti-
neau, the business men agreeing
to guarantee him against loss,
with the understanding that
the top market of neighboring
towns be maintained. Should
it not be possible to make such
arran garments, however, the
business men have all plans
perfected for putting in a first
class track buyer.
Local buyers maintain that
they cannot pay the prices of
some of the neighboring towns
tor the re Il on that the
great bulk of the wheat mar
keted in Bottineau comes from
the Turtle Mountain country
and that this wheat, while of a
plump and fine quality, does
not bring the price for millin &
purposes as the prairie wheat.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

A circular showing the num-
Der of schools classified in the
different counties of the state
has just been published by the
department of eduCa i o n {.
Schools so classifiedare expect
ed to show a high standard of
efficiency in instruction, equip
ment, heating, lighting, venti-
lation and, in fact, everythin g
necessary to good school work.
Schools so classified are to be
congratulated for the excellence
of the work done, and the salts
factory conditions which have
made their classification possi-
BILE. Such schools are looked
upon throughout the state as
model schools and are pointed
out as examples of schools
worthy of the highest COM
mendation.
Bottineau county n d 8
seventh in the number of class
flied schools in the counties of
the state and third in the north
western counties. In the
northwestern counties, Will
liams stands first. Mountrail
second and Bottineau third. Of
the counties of the whole state,
LaMoure stands first, In the
number of first class consoli-
dated schools Bottineau county
ties with McHenry for second
place. This does not include
the four model rural consoli.
dated schools built in the conn
ty this year brit not completed
in time for classification.
Owing to the small appropri-
alton made by the state for
such schools the amount which
will be received will not be
large but no doubt will be in
creased another year.
The amount received from
the state and county tuition
fund for the school year ending
,, June 80, 1915, was 1888 per
capita. This means that every
child left off of your census roll
was a loss of $0.58 to your dis.

JOHN BuRk.sAy
run FOR SEM,
Friends See Confirmation Of Recent
Reports In Criticism OF Reserve
Sank

Bismarck, N. d., Oct. L.
Friends of John Burke, three
times governor of this state
and now United States treas
urer, say that his controversy
with John H. Rich of the Fede-
raj Reserve bank of Mime
apolis is proof he will enter the
senatorial contest. They con-
tend that had he not been plan
ming to become a candidate he
would not have criticized the
bank officials, but that decid-
ing to become a candidate he
saw an excellent opportunity
to win the favor of the farmers
by attacking the reserve bank.
His remarks have pleased the
wheat growers and more OF
them have seen his statements
than will ever read the reply
by Mr.. Rich.
There had been speculation
as to the attitude of the former
governor because of the fac
tional differences within his
own party and the declaration
of F. O. Hellstrom, twice an
unsuccessful candidate f o r
governor, that if Burke made
the race he would also become
a SENSATIONAL candidate. There
is certain to be opposition to
Burke by Hellstrom and the
friends of the latter. but there
seems to be no doubt but that
Burke could win the nomina-
ton.
Just what success he could
have at the general election is
another matter. He was elect
ed governor three times with
the aid of one of the republican
factions, but he had the united
democracy behind him and the
conditions were peculiar. With
a divided party now anc with
republican conditions much
different, the nomination OF
Burke for the senatOrship
would not have the same signi-
ficance, perhaps, as it did tor
the governorship.

OF school age in the several
districts of the county last year
was $3.50. The total number
enrolled, 1853. If all clerks
took their census from the
school register as is done in
some districts, their would be
a shortage of 1912. This would
mean a great loss in the amount
received from the tuition fund.
There are fifty-one school
districts in the county. OF
this number sixteen are located
in cities or villages. The aver
age tax rate for the whole
county is 1873 mills. The aver
age tax rate in all districts in
which there is no city or village
is 1873 mills. The average
rate in districts in which is To-
Gated a city or village having
graded or high school, is 20. .
mills.
The above figures are based
on the 1914 levy. Figures for
1918 are not available at the
present time.
Four purely rural graded
consolidated schools have been
built in the county during the
past year. These buildings are
modern in every way and a
credit to the districts in which
they are located. The districts
| in which they are located are
Peabody, Illinois, Michigan
and Newburg school districts.
These schools are all running
with the exception of the one
in Newbuag district. This
building is not yet fully com
pleted.
Deep district is building a
new graded school which will
be ready for occupancy in the
near future. School at present
is being held in two of the one
room buildings.
The last legislature made an
other change in the transporta-
ton law. Under the provision
of the new law the minimum
amount to be paid for the
transportation of children liv.
ing beyond the two and one
quarter miles limit is ID cents
Der family per day. The maxi
mum amount is 35 cents pei
day per family. In consolidat
ed districts the board provides
for the transportation of al
children living beyond the two
and one half mile limit.

Mrs. Sally Tennsy WIcks

The funeral of Mrs. Horatio
Wicks, who died at her home
in Bottineau Saturday, was
held from the family home
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. T.
J. Russell of the NJ. E church
officiating.
The subject of this sketch,
Mrs. Sally Tenney Wicks, was
born in Ontario, Wayne county,
New York. on October 8, 1S47,
and was almost SO years at the
time of death.
In January. 1865, she was
united in marriage to Horatio
Wick and to this. union there
was born fifteen children, nine
of whom are left to mourn her
loss. The husband and father
preceded her in death some
seven years ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wick with their family came
to Bottineau eleven years ago
and retained their residence
here until the time of their
death.
Mrs. WiCks has suffered a
great deal in the way of bodily
| etfliCtiOns nearly all her life
and for the last three years has
been almost a helpless invalid,
not being able to stand on her
feet without help. One would
be made to wonder how she
could stand SO much affliCtiOn
! and retain her life until one
became acquainted with her
sturdy nature and her Optimist
iC character. In all the viscissi
tudes of her life Mrs. Wicks
was the embodiment of patience
and nOtherlv Kindness. She
never complained of her lot and
in this way made it easier fot
her loved ones to administer tC
her.
AS Christian Mrs. Wick
was of a strong, sturdy nature;
She loved God and had implicit
trust and confidence in his
word. Her constant testimon,
was that He was with her to
help her bear her trials and like
the Patriarch Job of cid she
could say: The Lord gave,
and the Lord taketh away;
blessed be the name of the
LOrd.' So endeth a beautiful
and unOstentatiOus life but not
her existence. She being
dead vet speaketh and liveth,
in a far better sphere and en-.
vironment than she had here,
she is with her Lord whom she
loved so devotedly and where
she feels no more the aches
and pains of the body fol
These former things are pass
ed away" Blessed are the
dead that dieth in the Lord.

1t is estimated that only one
fifth of the threshing has been
done in the slope country. Ow-
ing to the bad weather thresh-
ing hands have left the country
and. even with the return of

that a large amount of grain
will not be threshed.

NORTH DAKOTA
SETS new RECORD
Value Of Five Principal Products Il
$188, 523,546, State Official
Reports

The five principal crops pro-
duced in North this year are
worth $188, 523, 546, the great
est wealth ever produced by
the state in a single season.
This is the summary of a
statement issued by K. F. Flint,
state commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor.
Incidentally, Mr.. Flint places
the states production of spring
wheat at 143, 1927, ,812 bushels, as
against the government esti-
mate of slightly more than 1875, .
600, 600 bushels.
Mr.. Flint bases his estimate
upon the governments calcula-
tions as to the yield per acre,
and uses his own statistics of
the actual acreage sown to
wheat.
The figures issued by Com
missioner Flint, as to value of
the states production, follow:
Wheat. E. 1929, 472, O3O
Oats. 90. 26,O99, 72O
Flax. 1885, 933
Barley...... :. 22,O5O,41O
Rye :. .... 3,415. 453
In his estimate of the yields
for the state, Mr.. Flint fixes
the oat yield 1T 80, 1899, O35 bu-
shells, the flax yield at 8, l27, :
352 bushels, the barley yield at
5S, 7S1 4SS bushels and the rye
yield at 4, 165. 1877 bushels.
Mr.. Flint also compares the
1915 production with that of
1910 and the results are start
ling. Wheat this year is tigur-
ed worth 246 per cent more
than wheat in 1910; oats have
increased 351 per cent; flax de-
creased 8 per cent. and barley
increased S21 per cent.
