FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING
ward Scientific Rotation
Of Crops.

Diversified farming, salient need
In any community where it can be
prosecuted, is fast having it's benefits
recognized in the Sunshine state.
Without question the most impor.
tant happening in North Dakota's az.
ricultural history, apart from the
phenomenal increase in production
and acreage, is the marked tendency
during the past few years, to abandon
the exclusive one or two-crop method
Of farming In favor Of a scientific ro-
tation Of crops, and the maintenance
on the farm Of the proper number Of
farm animals, such as horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Good farming, good methods Of culi
tivation, Intelligent tillage of the soil,
is the slogan in North Dakota. The
fact has been demonstrated beyond
any reasonable doubt that the yields
Of the various grains can be greatly
Increased and often doubled by the In.
telligent cultivation Of tho soil, not
only increased in amount but rendered
sure.
1t is now a demonstrated fact that
corn and alfalfa can be successfully
grown in every part of North Dakota,
thus enabling farmers to take advan-
tage Of these valuable crops in their
rotation, and also maintain the ami
mails that thrive on the hay, grain,
and ensilage thus procurable. These
conditions have also resulted in Z
most remarkable increase In the dairy
ing industry in the past few years, and
at the rate at which purebred and
high.grade dairy stock is being
brought into the state, and the large
number Of silos being erected annual
ly, all point to the time in the near
future when this industry will rival
in volume that Of many Of the older
established dairy states Of the Union.
The agricultural college of North
Dakota and it, various substatiOns
and demonstration farms are making
demonstrations and exemplifying to
the farmers the best and most ap-
proved methods Of farming so as to
avoid the loss and hardship that lack
Of knowledge often entails. With
these means Of studying at first hand
the natural conditions and the meth
DDS of farming best adapted to the re-
gion, and with results Of experiments
made by skilled and scientifically
trained men right on the ground. open
to the farmer and with published re!
ports Of Just what has been accom-
plished, all furnished free, there is no
need for the farmer to be without the
means Of intelligently cultivating his
land and developing to the best ad-
vantage its natural resources.

SOME DON'TS FOR

A Few Hints That Will Help the

{ Trapshooting is q sport that demands
an alert mind and keen judgment. The

simple facts in the shape of "dont's'

Don't worry if you miss target. Get
the next one and the following.
Don't worry If when you call pull
the target breaks as it leaves the trap.
Take things calmly. Tell the puller to
pull another and let him keep on do
ing it until a good one is thrown, or
wait until the trap is fixed.
Don't worry because the referee de-
cldes you missed a target when you

No referee is infallible. His decision,
however, goes. SO accept his ruling in
q. sportsmanlike manner.
Don't worry If the puller pulls the
trap too fast or too slow. Don't shoot
at the target but drop your gun from
your shoulder and then get ready to
dali pull once more. The referee
watches the game very closely. He
knows whether the target went an
hppreciable length of time before or
after you called, and he also knows
that the rules provide for trap to be
Pulled promptly. Very often. however,

pyuller balks him in this way.

After covering golf for few
days coming back to baseball seems
seems a lstless game-just clug-
ging a ball and chasing it the rest
of the day-but closer investigation
brings complete reversal of the
neophyte's viewpoint. 1t is a SPLEEN
did game and requires more skill
than baseball 1t has all the ele-
ments OF excitement that baseball
has and is much more invigorating.
In fact to get one good wallop-
say 225-yard drive--is more sat
isfaction to the average golf play
err than home run to the average
amateur baseball player. We are
strong for golf.
President Robert II. Baugh of the
Southern league did not give much
time to the league affairs last week

tournament at Roebuck Springs.
However President Baugh will

changes of policy of the Southern
circuit may be Forthcoming. Prexy
Baugh has thought out several
Ideas which will undoubtedly be
ripe for the glare of publicity In a
few days. We are with Mr.. Baugh

be taken.

TRAP AND FIELD

effort is quite liable to disturb your
aim by exhaustng the air in your
lungs, causing you to inhale when you
should be doing nothing but pointing
the gun at the target.
Don't call Immediately after the man
ahead of you has fired. Give the ref
cree time to call Dead" or Lost" as
the case may be; and at tournaments
give the scorer also time to answer
back If you call too quickly you run
the risk of having the trap not loaded
or having the puller miss your call
on account of the referees decision or
the scorers answer being mixed up
with your voice.
1t is also a good plan not to cali
pull when the shooter ahead of you
has missed a target, until the target
has reached the ground. 1t might hap
pen that your target took the same
flight as the previous one, and thus
your eye would be liable to see both
targets, and your calculations be dis
turbed. The same caution could profit :
ably be observed when, although the
previous target was broken. a large
piece was left sailing through the air.
This may seem a small matter, but
small things count when you are try
ing to make a straight score.

Turkeys Moving.

The movement of turkeys is beginning
over the State much earlier than last year.
The raisers are beginning to realize that
the turkey dressers must have the birds
earlier in the month so as to get them on
the Eastern markets. Already you can see
wagons loaded with fat turkeys on our
streets. The local dresser, F. H. Gordon,
says thatwhile there is shortage reported
here. there will be plenty of the white meat
for everyone. Dressers overtime State are
paying IA and IS cents delivered at pens.
This is from 2 to cents more than was
paid last year. If weather conditions are
right the turkey dressers will be through
by the middle of this month.
Gordon's Turkey Contest, the only one
in the State, is creating great interest. not
only in Madison county, but in EstiII, Clark
and Fayette.
