FIGURES SHOW VALLEY CITY AS LOCICAL :
LOCATION FOR EQUlTYS PACKING PLANT

As a climax to their strenuous day
spent in the city, the packing plant
committee met with the local commit
tee in the Commercial club rooms
Thursday at p. m. A good number of
enthusiasts were present, and our
claims, or bid for the locating of such
a plant in this city were presented to
them in an impressive and eficacious
manner by Lee Combs, chairman.
A weighty discussion followed and
some good points were advanced. Rep
resentatives Of the railroads passing
through this city were present and
willing to answer any question put to
theme.
There seems no doubt but what the
railroads will be fair, in fact there
seems to be no obstacles in the way
for the erection Of such plant at this
place. The local committee were ask.
ed, as were those of other towns, to
submit brief setting forth their ad.
vantages and offerings in full. About
60 days time will be given for this,
however, at which time the packing
plant trio will meet in final discussion
on the matter of location.

WHO KNOWS?

The papers that are criticising the
board of regents want to know what
the bankers know about farming or
agriculture. The bankers might just
as we'll ask what the newspaper men
know about these subjects. We be-
lieve the newspapers are giving pub
licity to the work of the extension de-
partments Of the agricultural college
and university to try and help along
with the benefits that are supposed to
accrue to the farmers and the farm
ing industry in this state. We also
know that the bankers have been pio.
neers in the corn contests and indus
trial fairs, and evidently their motives
were not entirely selfish. These men
were selected to take positions on this
board because of their business abil-
ity and their interest in agriculture
which is the foundation of most Of the
business Of our commonwealth. Give
them the courtesy of a trial before
condemning them from prejudice.

airy.
Supplementary to the other matter
which figures in the negotiations for
the location of this industry, the
Times. Record publishes below a sum
mary Of the livestock population of the
state. These figures have never before
been published and are right up to the
minute. g..
From these figures it will be seen
that Barnes and the seven counties
contiguous, with seventh OF the
states total area, produce practically
a sixth of the meat animals, and that
within easy shipping distance more
than half such meat animals are
grown. The killing and dressing Of
hogs forms large portion of the &C
tivity of a packing plant. In this line
the suitability of Valley City as the
location for the plant is even more
noticeable, as the eight counties cen
turing around this city produce fifth
of the hogs of the state.

ALFALFA INCREASES YIELDS

The United States department of
agriculture says that data on many
farms throughout the corn belt show
it to be as easy to grow As to so
bushels of corn per acre after clo-
yer or alfalfa crop as it is to secure
80 to IS bushels after corn or an
oat crop in this section. It offers data
from the Agricultural experiment sta
ton of Nebraska to the effect that
among investigations, 81 farmers re-
ported average yields of 34.5 bushels
Of corn per acre on land before seed
ing it to clover and alfalfa and 68.2
bushels per acre on the same land
after it was plowed up and again plant
ed to corn.

$3.50 a Year, in Advance
Review OF THE YEAR

One year ago the present proprie-
tors of the Times-Record took charge.
The paper had no credit, the plant was
run down and type worn out, and only
4 fraction of the people Of the county
read the paper because practically no
news was published.
While not all has been accomplish
ed that might have been, the paper is
now on it's feet and in shape to be
worth something to every citizen of
the county. The news is published
fully, not a day or week late, but
when it is news. The circulation OF
both daily and weekly has more than
doubled, and in the city less than
dozen homes struggle along without
our help. New material has been add
ed and printing equal to that of the
largest cities is being turned out as a
matter of everyday routine. Best Of
all, every bill is paid as due-and al
ways will be.
1t is our intention to make the
Times-RecOrd second to no other pa
per in the state, for the reason that
we believe the Barnes county field de-
serves the best paper in the state, and
the coming year will probably see
greater improvement than has already
been made. We cannot expect to COM
pete in world news with the metropoli-
tan dailies, but neither can they give
the daily news of Barnes county, and
that field will be fully covered.

DAT SMUT PREVENTION

Washington, March 1.-The average
annual losses from smut in oats are
greater than those caused by any
other preventable cereal disease in
the United States. Treating the
seed with hot water or with formal
dehyde solution before sowing is an
easy, cheap, and effective way of pre-
venting this disease. The latter
method, which is the one most avail
able for general use, is here briefly
summarized. Both methods are de-
scribed in detail in Farmers Bulletin
5O7, which will be sent free on appli-
cation to the secretary of agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
Mix the formalin Ca commercial
preparation which is 81 per cent for
maldehyde by weight) with water at
the rate of one pound "a little less
than pint) to 40 gallons of water.
The grain may be either loosely in
closed in sacks or put loose into a
tub or vat with the solution. Agitate
the sacks or stir the loose grain &C.
|casionally so that the entire surface
Of every grain will be thoroughly wet.
Instead Of being immersed the seed
oats may be spread on a clean floor
or canvass and sprinkled with the So
luton and shoveled over during the pro-
cess so that they will be wet evenly
as in the other method. Not over
gallon Of solution will be needed
for every bushel of dry grain. After
sprinkling, shovel the seed into a pile,
cover it with sacks wet with the solu-
ton, and allow it to stand for at least
two hours before spreading it out to
dry.
Precautions: The oats may be
seeded as soon as dry enough to run
through drill. II the seed is still
moist, however, the drill must be set
to SOW more to the acre than If it is
dry. The quantity which should be
sown may be determined by measur.
ing a given bulk before and after
treatment and figuring the proportion
Of increase. After treating do not ex-
pose the seed to freezing until it is
thoroughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed to

Just as we were about to suggest to
the board Of regents what to do, they
acted apparently on their own initia-
tive. President Worst was removed
and Prof. Ladd appointed to head the
agricultural college. What We don't
understand is why this was not done
when Mr.. Worst appeared before them
at Bismarck and delivered his ultima
tum. There is much, however, in this
middle that does not or will not ap-
pear on the surface. One good thing
about it is that something has been
done to settle it. Another is that the
board selected a man for president
who has the confidence of the people
of the whole state. 1t is up to them
to give him their hearty support.

THINGS THAT COUNT

NSONS
IT'S the little things that count, dear,
After the day is done,
The little deed, or look, or tone,
More than the light of sun.
1t may be the clouds are hanging
Low, and the misty rain
Is falling with ceaseless patter,
Against the window pane.
It may be the SHOWS of winter
Have shut the world out, quite,
Or the touch of frosty crystal
Has traced the glass with white.
1t may be the dark of midnight,
Or yet, the mondays sun.
But tbs not these things that count,
dear.
After the day is done.
The little deeds and look and tone,
Are things beyond recall,
When done, or given, or spoken,
They may not seem so small.
The deed undone will never hurt,
The look. which ends with thought
Will never cut, and words unsaid
Are ne'er with evil frought.
Then guard thine acts, thy face, thy
tongue,
From ev'ry wound you'll find
Though forgiveness has been granted
A scar is left behind .....
