The following letter received by
Commissioner Flint of the depart
ment Of agriculture, from H. J. John
son, one of Dickey county's leading
agriculturists, is a splendid argument
from a thoroughly practical man In
favor of diversification in farming and
the advantages of the live stock in
dustry of North Dakota. Read it and
be convinced that nowhere in the
Union can better opportunities be
found for the intelligent and willing
worker than within this state where
in we live.
I have lived in North Dakota more
or less for the pas. Is years; 20 or Is

wheat was the only thing there was
any money in. l changed my mind a
few years later in regard to this and
commenced raising other crops, such
as barley, corn and alfalfa, and never
sowed wheat except on such lands
that l knew were capable Of produc'
ing good crop. l commenced a sys-
TEN of rotation and l found that near
Ply every year l had a good crop of the
different kinds of grain that had in.
l find that it pays to use the best
kind of seed. A few years ago l pur'
chased a carload of seed oats, the
oats, the best I could buy, paying
about S. cents a brshel for them. The
first year l raised 70 bushels per
acre Nv machine measure, the next

third year 81 bushels per acre. The

this: in a number Of places in South

that the same land is now selling at
from 500 to $3.50 per acre. l fully

FOREIGN DRIVERS ARE.
CARRYING OFF PRIZES

CHICAGO, Aug. Yankee driv-
ers today have given up any idea that
they may have about easy pickings
in the big American auto races. The
war, which caused so many of the
crack French drivers to enlist, raised
the hopes of American drivers tnat
American pize money would be cap
tured by themselves.
But their hopes were vain for the
foreign drivers have just kept COM

Dario Resta, the Anglo-Italian has
copped first prize in two and second
in the other.
This is a country of easy money
for foreign drivers. In the last two
years. the Europeans have won s124.-

through the channel of diplomacy. it
will insist that meanwhile Germany
refrain from violation Of what the
United States contends are its rights
The entire dispute revolves about
Article 13 of the Prussian- American
treaty of 1893, which was revived and
included in the treaty Of 1928, That
article. the United States contends,
specifically protected the William P.
Frye from being sunk, although it did
not protect a contraband caro-. Ger
many takes precisely an opposite view
contending that the article only obli-
gates her to pay damages.
Ship Held Liable to Confiscation.
Furthermore, Germany replies that
as the Fryes cargo of wheat destined
to England was contraband, the ship
was liable to confiscation, and that as
an attempt to take the prize into a
German port would have imperiled
her captor, the destruction of the
Frye was according to general prin-
ciples of International law"
The hight of sinking" says the
German note, sis not mentioned in
the treaty. and is therefore neither ex-
pressly permitted nor expressly pro-
hibited. so that on this point the party
stipulations must be supplemented by
the general rules of international law
1t is not disputed by the American
government that according to the gem
eral principles of international law
belHgerent is authorized in sinking
neutral vessels. under almost any con-
ditions. for carrying contraband.'
German Interpretation Presented.
The note argues at length for the
German Interpretation of the disputed
treaty provision, contending that its
intent is to establish a reasonable COM
promise between the military interests
of the belligerent contracting party
and the commercial interests of the
neutral party.
ON the one hand" says the note.
the belligerent party is to have the
right to prevent the transportation OF
war supplies to his adversaries, even
when carried on vessels of the neutral
party: on the other hand the COM
merce and navigation of the neutral
party is to be interfered with as little
as possible by the measures necessary
for such prevention and reasonable
is to be paid for any in
or damage which may.
ensue from the proceed
ings of the belligerent party.
That. in short. is Germany's argu-
ment, based on her Interpretation Of
the treaty, and to that the view of the
United States is squarely opposite.
