FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING
ward Scientific Rotation
Of Crops.

Diversifled farming, a salient need
in any community where It can be
prosecuted, Is fast having its benefits
recognized In the Sunshine state.
Without question the most impor.
tant happening in North Dakota's ag-
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 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 cul.
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 the soil, not
only increased in amount but rendered
sure.
1t Is now demonstrated fact that
corn aud 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 O
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 its various substations
and demonstration farms are making
demonstrations and exemplifying to
the farmers the best and most ap-
proved methods Of farming 80 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 adj
vantage its natural resources.

FUTURE OF NORTH DAKOTA
liberalization Of Farming Industries
VIII Give Farmer His Great.
est Proflts.
BY THOMAS COOPER,
Director North Dakota Experiment

Director North Dakota Experiment
North Dakota has been noted for
leadership in the production OF spring
wheat Our farmers have become ex.
pert In It's production at a minimum
cost The states leadership in this Is
passing as she comes in competition
with the new lands of the Canadian
Northwest. Consequently, the future
of North Dakota's agriculture lies not
in the production of wheat but in the
diversiflcation Of her farming indus.
tries In which wheat shall be one of
the leading products.
One does not require the spirit OF
prophecy to see that only through the
reduction Of the wheat acreage and
the increased production of feed
grains. corn. alfalfa and pastures will
the North Dakota farmer be enabled
to make his greatest profits. Diversi-
fication is particularly necessary in
this state. Methods OF agriculture in
the less humid areas must be such as
will produce some classes Of feed each
year. In these areas the farmer must
learn to depend largely upon live stock
and upon livestock products. The
production Of small grains for sole
ehall be an incident in the agricultural
operations rather than the main pur.
pose OF operating the farm. In all sec.
lions Of the state sufficient live stock
must be maintained upon the farm to
utilize the roughnge and to consume
the coarse grains. The production OF
forage. especially of alfalfa and corn,
will be materially increased.
In consequence. this means a re-
duced wheat acreage. but larger pro-
duction Of wheat to the acre. It means
fewer burning straw stacks and more
silos. and stacks of alfalfa hay in place
Of the prairie grass. In the section
Of the state devoted to large farms. as
we'll as In the rougher lands, there is
splendid opportunity for further de-
velopment Of the beef industry This
enterprise will fit in we'll In the condi-
lions which prevail there. In the
areas of smaller farms. where more
labor is available, the dairy COW is
proving of value and Importance.
Horses may be produced not only to
advantage but to a high degree of ex-
cellence in practically every section
OF the state. While the production of
swine fits in well in farms where an
excess Of feed grains can be produced.
North Dakota should become noted
as producer of high-class horses,
beef cattle and dairy stock. Every In.
vestigation that has been carried on in
this state shows that we have distinct
advantages along this line as com.
pared with many of the other states
In few words, the problem of the
North Dakota farmer is to 80 organize
the farm that considerable percen.
tage of his income will be obtained
from live stock and livestock prod.
ucts. This. believe, 10 the type OF
agriculture that we must develop in
this state, and the one which win
bring about the, greatest agricultural
advancement. 1t is the basis OF most
Of our present agricultural problems.

The Chamber of Commerce affairs will be governed by the committee plan this year if found at all practical. It is believed that where moro members are brought in direct touch with the activities of the Chamber, greater interest will be shown and greater good accomplished. A meeting of all committees is therefore called for next We'd nesday evening, December 18th, at the Santa Cruz Club for or ganization and the discussion of plans and methods of getting results with the various con- mittees. Every member ap- pointed on a committee should make it point to be present at this meeting, and every Chair man should see that their con- nittees are out in full force.

SLATON DEFIES MOB 4
AND STAYS AT HOME
Ex-Governor Says Georgians Got His
tDander' Up and He Postponed
Trip Out of State.

ATLANTA, June %. = Martial law
still prevails at the country home of
ex-Gov. Slaton and military authorities
were unable 10 say last night when the
troops would be removed. Until
further orders was their only com
ment. The entire Fifth regiment is in
service.
1t is estimated that the cost of main
tanning troops at the Slaton home will
reach at least $1,000 day and posi-
bly, $1,000. This VIII be paid by the
state.
Every man at the call of the regi-
ment has been pressed into service.
Troops are placed upon the Slaton es
tate in three shifts, one battalion to
each shift. They are transported TO
and from the Auditorium armory on
special trolley ears.
Ex-Gov. Slaton is still at his home
aud declines TO say just when he in
tends to leave the state, though he ad-
mits that it will be soon. He told q
friend yesterday that he would have
left Saturday, but he feared it would
look like running away.
1.-THE mob got my dander up, said
the Ex-Governor, land l resolved to
take my own time about leaving for
the long vacation | planned months
ago.
There was no disturbance at the
Slaton home yesterday. Only one ar
rest was made last night, that of a
civilian who persisted in lettering
around the premises. He was released
On his promise to quit the neighbor-
hood.
A tip came to Col Orville Hall, com
handing ofiieer--ef- the troops, that an
attempt would be made to dynamite
the railroad bridge on Peachtree road
Investigation revealed tin lid from
a powder can, but no other evidence
of any dynamiting effort.
The ex-governor was visited by a
number of friends. He said he had re
ceived over 5000 messages congratu-
lating him for committing Frank IS
sentence and only about 100 condemn
ing his action. The ex-governor ad-
mitted that a majority of the congrat-
ulatory messages came from outside
of Georgia. He has received a tele-
gram of praise from John Kendrick
Bangs and Richard Harding Davis He
says that he has also received lauda-
tory notes from nearly 100 Judges,
governors and congressman.
Mr.. Slaton insists that the people of
Georgia will yet accept his point of
view in regard to the Frank case, ad-
ding:
Two thousand year ago a judge
Two thousand years ago judge
ed his hands of the affair. He has been
accursed ever since.

LOCKOUT IN CHICAGO
MAKES $50, 900 IDLE
Contractors Begin to Tie Up 100000
coo Capita in the Fight on
Unions.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-With the ship
ment of twelve carloads of horses to
pastures in Wisconsin began yesterday /
a construction tieup in Chicago which /
stops ail organized contractors and ma
terial manufacturers from operating I
until the unions now on strike submit |
their grievances to arbitration. The
employers say that no less than $780, !
100000 capital and 100000 mechan-
les of all sorts in addition to the 50,-l
600 now out of employment will bel
involved.
Both sides are preparing for a bitter
struggle and say it will be fight to al
finish. The employers say the shut
down is to retaliate against the strik
ers, who refused to submit to arbitra
ton the differences with the contrac-
tors, and that the tieup will be com
plete ell over the city and suburbs
within a week.
Officials of the carpenter district
council said last night that before the
war is much older the strikers prob
ably would appeal to the officials of the
international union for help to combat
the lockout edict. Such an appeal
probably would bring the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor into the trouble, with the ulti-
| mate result that the labor unions all
over the country would be called upon
| to support, morally and financially, the
! Chicago union men.
! The first shipment of horses out of
| the city pending an adjustment of the
trouble was made by team owners and
materials men whose plants have al
ready been closed down
This throws several thousand team
sters out of work. Many mills and
materials plants will no reopen today.
Other plants will close from day to

tracts already under way. All pend
