THE UMPIRE

(Suggested by a Buck Knowles
painting of an umpire standing over
a player who has just slid over the
home plate with the winning run
and calling him out.)
A fan there was and he made this
prayer
Even as you and y
Only to murder that robber there
We called him the umpire who did
not care
But the fan-Wow! Didn't he rave
and swear!
Even as you and u
Oh, the hits we made, and the way
we played,
And the work of our infield band
All spoiled by an umpire who did
not know
('Twas the widest kind Of a rotten
throw)-
And did not understand.
A fan there was, and his goods he
spent
Even as you and y
For a s%un-baked, uncushioned, twen-
ty-ive cent
Little bleacher seat; but, at that, it
meant
Seeing a ball game and so he went
Even as you and y
Oh, the game we lost, and the fame
n we lost,
And the way those fellows famed!
But alas for an umpire who cannot
state
When a players safe on the old home
plate
And cannot understand.
The fan yelled, "Slide, you rabbit,
slide
Even as you and y
There we're two men out, and the
score was tied,
And the throw from center field went
An owl could have seen it, if he had
tried
Even as you and y
And it isn't defeat or the being beat
That stings like a red-hot brand,
But it's being robbed by a man like
that,
Who never did know where he was at,
And could not understand.

SUMMER SCHOOL

The work at the Summer School at
Plentywood is progressing nicely. Sc
venty-seven teachers were in attend
ance the first week and more are
expected to enroll before the complet-
ion of the term. The instructors speak
nothing but words of praise for the
teachers of both Valley and Sheridan
counties.
The courses of Professor S. Lincoln
Smith in Writing and Drawing have
been especially interesting and bene-
fetal. It is the desire of those in
charge of the school to have Profess
sor Smith return for, at least one
more week.
Miss Cleo Teeter, a graduate of
the University of Minnesota, who is
Supervisor of the Eighth Grade
Teachers in the Minneapolis Public
Schools, is giving methods in all
Eighth Grade subjects. Miss Teet-

August 14th.
Miss Long, Supervisor of the Inter-
mediate Department of the Dillon
State Normal, will give special me-
thods in the work of these grades
from August 9th to August 21st in

are all mid-season varieties. The late
maturing varieties of oats, such as
White Russian and the very early var-
ieties. Experiments in the rate of
seeding tests with Swedish Select
oats indicate that the best yields are
obtained by sowing from four to six
pecks per acre.
In the work with barley the scien-
lists found the six-rowed group of
barley yielded better than the two
rowed group. The highest average
yield was 1919 bushels and was pro-
duced by a strain of Manchuria bar
ley.
Much difficulty vas experienced in
keeping the ground sufficiently clean
from weeds so that the tests were
made, only four crops were harvested
and the average yield of the highest
producing variety was 1862 bushels
per acre. Emmer and spring rye
have given as high average yields as
oats, barley Or wheat. Prose- has

past three years and gave an average
yield of seed of 25 bushels per acre.
Kursk millet, grown on a test plat in
1914, yielded 80 bushels Of seed per
acre.

SPRING WHEAT GIVES
THE BEST RESULTS
Varietal Tests Made with Wheat, Oats
and Barley at Williston, N. D.,

Varietal Tests Made with Wheat, Oats
and Barley at Williston, N. D.,
Sub Experiment Station.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 3.-Spring
wheats have given better yields than
winter wheats at the Williston, North
Dakota, sub-station where expert
ments with cereal crops have been
conducted since 1908, by the U. S. De-
parment of Agriculture in cooperation
with the North Dakota agricultural
experiment station. The results OBJ
tanned at this station are of especial
interest to farmers living in western
North Dakota and eastern Montana.
Among the spring wheats, Durum
produced higher yields than the COM
mon spring wheats, except in the
dry years of 1910 and 1911.
Kubanka Durum wheat gave the
highest average yield, 29.9 bushels per
acre, of all the spring wheats tested
during the past six years; power
Fife wheat stood second, producing
1856 bushels per acre. In tests made
with the blue stem group of wheats,
it was found that they did not yield
as we'll as the Durums and Flies, and
the average weight per bushel was al
so somewhat lower. The rate for
seeding tests with the blue stem
wheats indicated that the highest
yields are obtained from sowing four
pecks to the acre. The cause of win
ter wheat yielding less on the aver
age than the spring wheats is attri-
butde to the fact that the former
frequently winter kills. Sowing WIN
ter wheat in grain stubble or stand
ing corn, however, gives protection TO
the plants and reduces the loss from
that source.
In testing the varieties of oats for
the seven-year period it was found the
best three varieties are Abundance,

these states there is labor and capital

and countryside there are homes
where rugs and carpets of this kind
are used. To-day, these homes are
being supplied with mating from

FARMERS SHOULD STACK GRAIN
By Prof. ThOs. Shaw

Judging by the present OUTLOOK the
farmers of North Dakota and Mon
tana will have the largest grain crop
ever produced in those states. The
promise low is that it will exceed
the crop of 1912, which it will be re-
membered was n of extraordinary
yield. The only influences that can
10Y operate to prevent extraordinary
yields are hot winds and hail. The
former are not likely to occur owing
to the large amount of green vege-
tation growing in the west and the
latter are usually quite local in char
acter.
In 1912 much of crop was lost be-
cause it could not be threshed before
the winter came. In not a few areas
snow fell while the grain crops were
still in the shock and while flax
sheaves still lay W. the ground. The
straw was so abundant that the ma
chimes could not thresh it in time.
The autumn proved showery. This
still further delayed the threshing.
The outcome was that much of the
crop was lost, much of this loss might
have been prevented by stacking at
least a part of the grain.
Many object to stacking because
of the extra labor involved in hand
ling the crop compared with drawing
it to the machine and threshing it
directly. There is some force in that
argument, but how is the farmer to
know beforehand whether the season
will be rainy or dry? Surely it
would be better to stack at least a
part of the grain where large e
are raised, or even all of it where the
areas are not large. In areas where
the farms are small, stacking is the
almost universal custom. 1t is on
large farms that this plan has become
almost universal.
AS soon as the farmer has his
grain reaped and he finds that he
must wait for a machine to do his
t%h:'eshing, why should he not at once
begin to stack? What else can he 90
at such a season? Every stack that
he builds means that so much of his
grain is virtually safe. It is safe
from injury and if he has not done
the work right he is blame-worthy.
He a then thresh that portion Of
the grain stacked at his convenience.
If it has been we'll stacked he can de-
lay threshing it until the ground
freezes if he so desires. This enables
him to give attention to other work.
The evils from long delayed thresh-
ing while the grain harvested is long
left in the field are several. There
is loss from the grain by Smelling.
There may be serious injury to it
from bad weather and there may be
loss from birds and rodents, but there
may be even a greater loss than these.
1t is the loss to the crop of the
next year. Where the shocks of small
grain or the cheaves of flax remain
long on the ground, the farmer can-
not pillow his land to make it ready
for the crop of the next year. This
will mean that the land not plowed in
the spring if much grain is to be
sown. Should the season prove I'M
usually dry, and this may happen,
the result will be crop failure.

MATING "MADE-IN-AMERICA"
Washington, Aug. 4th-There are
thousands Of acres of marsh lands
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and other
states which produce wire grass, en-
tirely useless for feed, and, for many
years, considered an unmitigated nui-
sance. Such lands were worth from
50 to So per acre. Discovery that
this wire grass was suited to use in
the manufacture of floor mattings and
carpets was followed by establish
ment of factories whose owners bot
such lands or leased them from the
farmers. Land values Immediately
advanced to 500 or more an acre.
Several thousand men were employ
ed to gather the grass and to work
in the mills weaving rugs and car
pets. These mills became large buy
ers of cotton warp. This new indus
try became a factor in the "Made-in-
America" ccmpci-n and supplied six

This Mornings Fire

A rousing fire alarm was turn ed in this morning about 200 o'clock and brought people out from every part of town as the bright light showed the fire to be down near the heart of the busi- siness section. It was the old Cloth or Prick building wreck opposite Flora's Store, that has been standing since the Cyclone.
 The theory is that a spark from a passing engine started the flames. There was no roof on it-only a mass of old wreck age and this was burned, with no real loss to anyone.

To The Farmers of Mon-
 roe County

want to call your attention to few things that should be done right away:
 lst. Cotton and corn should be plowed again right away with a heel sweep or harrow to break the crust formed since the recent rains.
 End. All turn rows and ditches should be cleaned out to carry off all water that will fall during the picking season and when the cotton that is picked can be spread out and stunned during the day and not get full of grass and trash from a bad turning row. and the people wont get wet to their knees from dew in the grass and weeds.
 3rd. All hogs should be vacci- mated as August and September are the worst months for out breaks of cholera. I vaccinated l05 head of well kept hogs last week and only found one or two well hogs in. the herd. All of those who want their hogs treat ed will let me know, 1 will treat them next week as expect to get a two weeks vacation from August 18th. to September 1st, and will be out of the county if my ship comes in.
 would be glad to help any one who expects to plant full grain, will advise them as to the best varities of seed to plant and when to get their seed, and most any old thing. Would be glad to hear from anyone in the county along these lines. Yours truly. Geo. B. Hebron, County Agent.

eOOD FOR FORREST CITY

The good people of Forrest City gave a big barbecue on Tuesday of this week at which 4000 people are said to have been present.
 The barbecue was in honor of Rev Burke Culpeppu, the Mem- phis evangelist who. a few ago. conducted a big religious revival at Forrest City.
 It is said that the greatest change in it's entire history. has come over Forrest City since this great spiritual awakening. The old grudges and petty jeal- ousies, the hatreds that existed among those who winked at whiskey selling and other law lessness, for those who stood for morality and right living, has been washed away and a great majority of Forrest City people are now standing together. for a better town.
 It is said that notwithstanding the war time depression that Forrest City has taken on new life in every way since the big revival and the ARGUS congratu- lates them.
 The big barbecue was an oc. casion for rejoicing to those who stand for higher and better things.

From Roe

Editor Argus:
 In the Year Book for 1914, published by authority of Con- gress, 1 see a plan for a commu- nifty organization that occurs to me to be a practical arrange ment. It appeals to every mem- Der of community for cooper ations in every phase of home life. You organize, have the necessary organization officers and various committees, some to look after roads, prices for buy ing and selling, breeding, mar keting, etc. This seems to be much better than trying to be a part of a county, state or nation al organization. The rule is that when you have a product to sell you want a fair market price for it, and when you buy you don't want to pay an exorbitant price for your purchase. The haymaker wants all he can get for hay; so does the wheat farmer, the rice grower, and so with all.
 This is one of the chief req sons why the big organizations are not more successful. There are too many interests to con- flict. Now, if any of the Argus readers should be interested in this plan 1 have mentioned, just write to the proper authorities at Washington, D. C., and get a copy of the Year Book and study up on the methods of organizing and ask your neighbors to join. you in forming a community or ganization.
 There is a community some eight or ten miles northwest of Roe, near by what is known as Peppers Lake. They are a thrifty class of farm CTS and orchardists, all belong ing to the same denomination. They have peach orchards, keep them pruned and well cultivated, and spray the fruit at the proper time, and so have choice peaches to sell. It was my privilege re- gently to go with a friend to buy peaches, and such a sight I nev- CT witnessed before. There were people there in buggies hacks, wagons and autos from two, five, ten, and twenty miles around. One orchard they stripped at thirty--five cents g bushel and another at fifty cents a bushel. It occurred to me there was proof that other farm. CTS could have fruit if they would but give the proper care and attention. Why not try it farmer man?
 There is not much of genera interest to write. We had a nice shower of rain Sunday after. noon, but not enough for a sea son; we are getting pretty needy. Our gardens are show ing very plainly their drouth stricken condition.
