from IiydIo-clectric development

ALkALl LAND RECLAIMED

Much interest in problem
which will mean the reclamation
of great deal of land in differ
ent parts of this state, is being
taken in Grand Forks, where ex-
periments are now being made ir
the matter of utilizing alkali
lands. As means of using such
lands, the growing of sweet Glow
er is being tested near Larimore
Sweet clover has been grown
there as a field crop for abou,
three years. and has proven ad-
aptable to sandy and alkali soil
In feeding it is found, that after
stock has become accustomed to
it, it we'll relished. On the Crystal
Springs Stock Farm, it has been
pastured, fed as hay, and fed as
silage, and in all forms. There
has been no trouble in getting
the stock to consume large quan-
titles.
The production of seed has
been found to be very profitable,
as it sells for about twenty-five
cents a pound. The demand
comes principally from the east,
where it is grown on lands that
are so worn out that it is difficult
to grow anything but sweet Glow
er.
Some of the advantages of
sweet clover are:
Rich in protein like alfalfa.
Furnishes early spring pas
ture.
Great soil enriching crop.
Good green manure crop.
Seeds freely.
Will grow where clover ana al
falfa fail.
(a) Low wet, alkali and acid
soils.
(b) On poor soil, especially ON
light sandy soils.
Some of the disadvantages:
If allowed to grow too large
stems become hard and bitter and
leaves fall off.
Not relished by stock as a rule
until accustomed to it.
The successful use of Alkaii
land means much added value to
many sections of our state.

Colonel Robert M. Thompson,
President, Navy League,
Washington, d. C.
My dear Colonel:
l assume from your letter of
the Goth ult., and from your var
ious utterances as President of
the Navy League, that the impress
sion you desire to create in the
minds of the American people is
that none of the men who found
ed. or who have been, or are now,
directors of or contributors to
the Navy League, have ever been,
or are now, in any manner inter-
ested in any concern which would
profit financially from the $780,
100000 bond issue for battle
ships, etc, which you are advo-
eating.
l understand your position tn
be that none Of the money which
the Navy League has used to
banquet Members of Congress and
Secretaries of the Navy or to car

vastly increased naval appropria-
tions which you advocate. has
come from any gentlemen who
stand to profit therefrom. I con-
tend that the opposite is true.
In your letter you request thai

ton.
call your attention to the fact
that j. P. Morgan, who is a direc
tor of he United States Steel
Corporation, was formerly treas

now director and contributor
to the Navy League and that J. p
Morgan brother-in-law, Herbert

Counsel of the League. also

that Robert Bacon, formerly a
member of the firm of j. P. Nor

Of United States Steel, is direc-

fact that Henry G. Frick, direc-
tor of United States Steel, and ten
other corporations, banks and

vice-presidents of the Navy Lea

Carnegie Steel Company, which
has drawn down from HE Navy

firm will profit still further.
