EXPERTS GIVE TIP ON
BACKYARD GARDENS
Consult Nature Before Planting
and Pay No Attention to CAL
endar or Almanac.

Garden specialists of the United States
Department OF Agriculture give tip
today to amateur gardeners of the Cap
ital. Consult nature before attempting
garden planting, Is their advice, and pay
no attention to the calendar or almanac.
The old residents of the soil such as
the maple. dogwood, and white oak are
the best interpreters of natures moods
in spirng, and quickly reflect them, SO
that the gardener, who follows their ST.
lent suggestions is advised to arrange
the planting sof his vegetables accord
ingly
When the silver naples begin to put
forth their leaves and the "catkins" ap-
pear ron the willows and poplars, ma
experts declare, that the season Is right
for the planting of such vegetables as
lettuce, mustard, onion sets, parsley, the
round seeded peas, early 1risn potatoes.
radishes, spinach and turnips This, Of
course, is provided that the soil is in
good order, which can be determined
by taking handful at depth Of three
or four inches from the surface, COM
fingers. and II, upon opening them,
the ball of earth gradually falls apart,
it is ready to be spaded.
Fertilizer should then be buried full
spade depth below the surface, and the
soil be made fine and compact with an
even surface. Beets and carrots should
not be planted until about ten days af-
ter nature has set the time for these
earlier paintings.
When the dogwood and the white oak
begin to shows signs of awakening,
then other vegetables may be planted.
These include bush and pole beans,
sweet corn, cucumbers. muskmelons,
watermelons, and varieties of squash.
The gardner and housewife rarely
will plant too early If they wait for
nature to tell them what to do the
department garden experts insist. as a
closing word to backyard farmers.

Cross seals way back in 1862, when
 they conceived the idea of selling stamps at fairs for the benefit of the
 in Brooklyn, Boston and elsewhere
 Nearly $1,000,000 was raised in this
 way before 1865. After the war this method of raising money was discon- tinued in this country for a genera tion although it found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland Austria, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are now several thousands of different types of char
 ity stamps used in all parts of the world, as many as forty bsing used in Austria fer children's hospitals alone.
 Stamps or seals were first used to get ronsy for the anti-tuberculosis crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. To Jacob Riis. the we'll known social worker of New York, and to- Miss Emily P. Bissell, the energetic secretary of the Delaware Red Cross, jointly belong the honor of originat- ing our American Red Cross. Christ
 mas s:al. In 1907 MT. Ris's interest was aroused by the receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a letter from Norway. He published an article about this queer looking stamp in the Outlook and suggested som, p3ssible uses for it in this country. Miss Bissell at once saw an opportunity here and prepared a stamp, from the sale of which her society realized $3,00O for tubercu- losis work. So impressed . was she with this success that she induced the American Red Cross to take up the sale in 1908 on a national basis. With every little, organization and with hardly any attempt at careful sadver- tising the sale that year brought in
 over $135,000 fer anti-tuberculosis
 work in various parts of the United States In 1909,. with more thorough organization, the sale was increased i'o $23o,0o0, in 1910 to nearly $31O,- .0oo,. in 1911. to oyer s33O.0do and in
 1912 to over $400,0O0. In 1913 the sale was increased tc nearly $45O,0oo,

 It is fitting to note that war, inhu-. man and cruel, was the mother of the Red Cross seal, and that now war for humanity against disease brings it back to it's fullest usefulness.

CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOLS IN WARD COUNTY

N. C.. Macdonald, who has charge of
the consolidated schools of North Da-
kota, was in the city Tuesday. He
visited the consolidated school in Burt
township that day and found 68 pu-
pills enrolled. There are four teachers,
two being Normal school graduates.
The department of agriculture has
been added to the school this year.
There are thirteen counties in North
Dakota with ten or more onsolidated
SCHOOLS; Ward county has thirteen.
North Dakota now leads every state
in the union in the number of such
schools, according to her population,
while four years ago this state stood
eighth. It is an interesting fact that
the northern counties of the state lead
in the number Of these schools. Cava-
lier and Towner counties stand first
with II schools each; McHenry has
16, Cass IS, Ramsey Is, Ward Is, Ro-
lette IL, Barnes IL, Nelson II, Grand
Forks 10, Williams 10 and Ransom 10.
There are 1888 consolidated schools
in North Dakota. Of this number 1928
are located out on the prairie while
POS are in the smaller towns: The dis
tricts average about a township each,
and 2O,150 school children are enroll
ed. About 1000 are taking the high
school course. The Stammen and
Burt consolidated districts in Ward
county now receive state aid and next
year will receive about three times
the present sum.

Case Company Does
Immense Business
THIRTY-EIGHT NEW SEPARAT-
ORS AND TWENTY-FIVE EN-.
GINES THE RECORD FOR THIS
SEASON so FAR.

The J. I. Case branch house in this
city has had an enormous business this
season in tractors, plows and separat-
ors. The beginning of the season
found the local warehouse, yards and
the 500 right Of way overcrowded,
full of machinery of various kinds. A
visit now reveals an empty warehouse
and yards and clear right of way.
Daily shipments are arriving to sup
ply the demand for Case products.
Farmers generally are interested in
the smaller type of gas tractors
engines that may be operated in con-
junction with set of plows by one
man. The farm labor problem is not
only uncertain but expensive as we'll.
Horse power involves the expense of
feed thruout the year and the thous-
and and one items with their employ
ment that vex and annoy the busy
farmer.
The Case company. are placing a
new type of engine on the market
this season. These engines meet ev-
cry requirement of the farmer. This
is known as the 1925" tractor,
unique in construction, powerful and
economical in its operation. One man
can operate this engine with ease, the
plows being raised by an automatic
lift. The engine pulls four stubble or
three breaker bottoms with perfect
ease and has plenty Of reserve power.
All working parts are enclosed Hyatt
bearings, such as are employed in the
higher types of automobile construc-
ton, carry all the heavy traction
bearings. 1t has three speeds, two
forward and the reverse. One clutch
lever takes care of the gear and belt
transmission. An enlarged type of
auto radiator is used for cooling. This
type of engine operates % in. separ-
ator or two binders easily. The farm
err with such an outfit as this, if delay
ed in threshing by unfavorable wea-
Their, can turn to blowing and not lose
a moments time.
The Minot branch of the Case COM
pany has disposed of 38 new separat-
ors and twenty-five new engines so far
this season. Delay in the receipt of
the new type of 1920 and 1925 trac-
tor has, no doubt, resulted in the post
ponement of many sales to date, but
these engines are beginning to arrive
and the demand will be brisk, as the
farmers wish to catch up with their
delayed fall blowing.
H. P. Davy and two sons of Rolling
Green township purchased a .24-42
separator and engine of the Case peo-
pic have not lost single day this
season because of weather conditions
or trouble with the engine or machin-
erv. When rains made threshinp inn
possible they hooked on the plows and
already have large area in snaps
for the drag and seeder next spring.
