GOVERNMENT ISSUES NEW
TREATISE ON RYE CULTURE

Washington, Nov. 9.-The tendency
in the last few years toward the
spread Of rye culture in the United
States has led the department OF
agriculture to issue treatise on the
subject which has just been published
and is being distributed to farmers
asking for it. The United States last
year produced it's record crop Of rye
harvesting 100000 bushels. Ameri
can production is only three per cent
of the worlds production. The depart.
ment experts point out that there are
many excellent reasons for growing
rye on the farm even though in most
localities it is less profitable as a
grain crop than wheat. Rye is hard
Ter and can therefore be grown as a
winter grain in cold, exposed places.
1t will do we'll on sandy, poor, or acid
land and may be sown later than
wheat. 1t is attacked by fewer in.
sects and diseases than wheat, pro-
duces valuable straw, requires less
fertilizer, and being earlier is better
as a forage crop. In some sections
production value per acre from rye &C.
tually exceeds that of wheat. This
was true in the five-year period from
1910 to 1915 in South Carolina, Ala
bama, Texas, Minnesota, North Da.
kota and South Dakota.

Darlington Man Lost His
Second Elevator by Fire

Darlington, Nov. 9.-Fire Tuesday
morning completely destroyed T. H.
Cousins elevator at Guptil, four miles
north of Darlington. Harry Hale,
manager for Mrs. Cousins, was badly
burned by a gas explosion that result
ed when he entered the Office and
struck match to start fire. Escap
ing gasoline had filled the room with
gas.
The explosion blew the window
lights from the Office building and the
flames spread rapidly. Three or four
farmers were with Mr.. Hale at the
time, being at Guptil early that morn
ing to load stock for shipment. Harry's
clothes caught on fire and had it not
been for prompt action on the part of
Brown Bales and others, who wrapped
him in blankets and smothered the
iously burned.
The fire spread into the elevator
from the office and soon the entire
structure was afire.
The smoke was plainly visible from
the streets at Carrington soon after
% o'clock Tuesday morning. Many
went out from town in autos.
The elevator contained about 5,00s
bushels Of oats, some barley and some
wheat. The loss will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Mr.. Cousins has
not yet figured the exact amounts OF
grain. His net loss will be between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Coming as it does within month Of
the burning of Mr.. Cousins elevator
at Dover, where gross loss of Sl6,.
1000 was sustained, Mr.. Cousins is a
very heavy sufferer from fire losses
this fall. In the Dover fire, Charles
Cousins, a brother, was manager, and
he suffered severe burns when Ian
tern exploded and he attempted to Ell
tinguish the flames.
The dry weather this fall has so
dried out buildings that fires spread
rapidly.
The heat from the Guptil elevator
was so intense that Northern Pacific
rails near it were warped.

birthday anniversary of the Fedora

The music, the addresses by the eI-
presidents, the beautiful tables, the
elaborate menu, the presence of 800
women, nearly all mothers, served by
their own daughters, was enough to I'm
spire wooden woman, it seemed to
me!
do you wonder that want to share
the inspiration with you, for like the
measles, the more you share it the
more there is!
This valley city has made the most
of it's natural beauty; they have used
art and skill to assist nature in her
own beautiful way instead of imagin-
ing that they ought to have way of
their own, independent of nature. And
the result is, that the Sheyenne looks
very much at home, winding in and
out among the hills and beautifui
homes, as much so as it did twenty
years ago, when last saw it.
The Normal school has grown won
derfully and it beautifully situated,
backed by the hills and facing the
town and river.
The whole city assisted in enter
tanning the delegates and did it i'm
such cheerful, happy way that we ali
felt at home at once.
I'm the department of music, Miss

in a primary class. You should have
felt the thrill that ran through that
crowd of women at sight of these
youngsters! And how they cheered
them! She showed how easily it was
possible for 6-year-old to sing by
note from book and they sang So
prano, while she sang alto, showing
that they were independent. Then
another class in the fourth grade sang
from a book they had never seen be-
fore, carrying the two parts, whick
made us all wish we could have music
taught in our own schools in that way"

SOLDIERS IN GOOD
SHAPE AFTER HIKE
Splendid Condition of BADGERS
Shown by March to Leon
Springs.
PRAISED BY ARMY OFFICERS
Wisconsin Troops Highly Compliment
ed on Discipline and Spirit Dis
played on Trip From
San Antonio.

Leon Springs, Tex.-Regular army
officers have been loud in their praise
of the showing which the Wisconsin
brigade made on It's hike from Camp
Wilson at San Antonio to con Springs.
The fact that not single man
dropped out of the ranks on the sec
Ond day of the march was cited as
showing the splendid condition and
spirit Of the men from the Badger
state. The army officers also com
mented on the perfect discipline
shown and they had not single criti-
cism to offer. Much credit was given
to Brigadier General Richardson, com
mander Of the brigade, for the re-
markable showing made by the men.
The discipline of the troops was
what delighted the army men more
than anything else. They repeatedly
mentioned how every command
marched into camp in perfect order,
although the men were greatly fati-
gued, stacking arms. pitching tents
and obeying every order promptly
until they were allowed to rest.
General Richardson said he was en-
tirely satisfied with the showing made
by the troops.
The officers and men of the various
commands took it all as a matter of
course. There was no gloating over
the perfect march. They knew they
were expected to do it, that they were
capable of doing 1t, that they did 1t,
and that there was nothing to be said
about 1t. When told that they had
been highly compllmented by army Of
ficers, a number of officers and men
replied: well. we are from Wiscon-
sin, what did they expect?"

Badger Soldiers Making Money.

1t seems now that the Wisconsin

pockets even If they are only paid so
cents day by Uncle Sam.
Under the federal system of pro-
visioning and feeding troops. a certain
allowance is allotted each man per
day For instance, during the month
of July each mans daily ration allow
ance was 271A cents At the end of
the month If IA company has kept be-
low it's mess allowance, the balance of
the money is turned over to the com
pany commander in the form of a
check drawn on the treasurer of the
United States. During the first 20
days in camp, Battery A was $367,T1
under its ness allowance and received
check for the amount During the
first ten days the field hospital corps
saved about $40. This money is put
into the company fuul and at the end
of the encampment is divided among
the men. Nearly every company in the
Wisconsin brigade is below its ration
allowance and has a neat sum in the
government bank.
Company and regimental canteens
also are netting neat profits for the
soldiers
Whether or not company has al

the end of each month out of It's mess
allowance depends on the mess ser
geant. II he studies the system of
