BLACK RUST FOUND IN
FIELD NEAR PARKHUR5T;
WEATHER FAVORS ADVANCE

Jamestown, N. D., July 14.-BlacR
rust has made it's appearance in Stuts
man county, according to advices re-
ceived in Jamestown.
John McGinnis of Parkhurst re
ports the presence of black rust in his
grain fields.
Reports reached the city some time
ago of the appearance of black rust
but investigation did not seem to
bear out the statement.
The weather for ten days has been
very favorable to the development OF
black rust. The humidity of the air
coupled with intense heat is ideal for
the rapid development of this wheat
disease.

A committee Of seven members
was named by President jaeger to de-
wise ways and means for more
equable financial relationship between
the eastern and western societies.
The conventions of the organization
are practically always held in the
Northwest, and for that reason it is
felt that there should be some reduc-
ton in the dues paid by the eastern
societies.
A change was also made in the sys-
tenn Of delegates meetings. Hitherto
business sessions have been held
yearly. Hereafter they will be held
only biennially at the time of the gen
eral sangerfcsts of the association.
Six new societies applied for men,
bership in the association, and were
accepted. The total active member.
ship of the organization now amounts
to 1880.
Deficit Cleared OF.
The report Of the treasurer showed
that the deficit of two years ago had
been cleared off, and that small
credit balance now remained in the
treasury. 1t was decided to continue
the publication of the organ Of the
association, the "Sanger-Hilsen"
Resolutions of thanks were voted to
the outgoing officers, the local mem
bers of the association; the citizens
of Grand Forks in general, the Nor.
wegian press Throughout the country
and the newspapers of Grand Forks
During the early part of Saturday
evening the visitors paraded the city
and visited the different business
houses with their band and chorus.
A short concert was given in front
of the Herald building by the Du-
luth band, other places in the city be-
ing similarly treated.

Auto Touring
And Camping Out

Washington Times-Mr and Mrs
c. A. McElrath and son. Harry. are
planning on taking an extensive
auto trip and have just bought a
convertible auto trailer in which to
carry their camping outfit. This is
the first of the kind that has ever
been used here. 1t is a two wheeled
cart built as lightly as is consistent
with strength and durability, fitted
with two folding beds. m on each
side, a convass cover which serves
as a tent. There is an ice box and a
two burner stove, and all the tour
list has to do is furnisd the bedding
and the provisions and he is ready
for an outing. Hotels and eating
houses will then be the least of his
troubles. The McElraths are plan
ming TO start on their trip the latter
part of this week, from here they
go to Council Bluffs, then to Daven-
port, Iowa, and later TO Michigan,
camping along the way wherever
fancy strikes them and taking their
time.

GRADED ROADS
INTEREST FARMERS
Work Being Pushed BY County
and Township Officials

The movement for graded roads
has become quite general over Haud
county, and the work is now being
actively pushed by mary townships.
The present summer will see many
more miles added to the county's
good roads.
A systematic effort is likewise
being made by the county commits
sioners to grade up the most import
ant roadwavs as fast as they a get
to them.
This road movement is more gen.
eral over the United States today
than ever before in the countrv's
history. And perhaps no public en-.
terprise is of more value to all classes
of people. 1t takes some time. some
patience, some expense. and a lot of
determination on somebody's part in
every locality. But the results are
worth all the effort and expense.
Suppose the same systematic eff
forts now employed had been started
twenty five years ago! By this time
Hand county's roads would be the
pride and delight of all her people.

GIVE EN- THE VOTE"
SAY PROMINENT MEN
Wyoming Men Testify in Favor
of Women Suffrage
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE

When such men as Governor Jo-
seph M. Carey of Wyoming, Hon.
Francis E. Warren, and Clarence d.
Clark. United States senator's from
the same state, and scores Of promi-
nent business and laboring men of
that commonwealth declare that wo-
man suffrage has been an unqualified
success, there must have been some
good accomplished. Wyoming was
the first state to give the franchise
right to women. In 1869, while still
a territory, it adopted equal suffrage
and when In 1890. it came into the
union as a state, 1T came with en-
franchised men and enfranchised
women.
I'VE have had women suffrage on
trial in Wyoming for many years and
it is an unqualified success" said
Governor Carey fthat state. Sena-
tor Warren in a speech said, Our
women are intelligently active in
public affairs. but. withal. as women
ly and as devoted to home and family
as their sisters in states where wom-
en- do not vote. Women suffrage has
elevated public morals and been a
material factor in maintaining the
local government we enjoy"
In 1901 the legislature of Wyoming
as a whole unanimously adopted re-
solutions declaring that ONT suff-
rage had been a great advantage to
the state. In the resolution the legis-
lature said that the exercise Of the
right of franchise by the women of
that state had helped greatly in BAN
ishing crime and pauperism from the
co nmonwealth. had made elections
~peaceable and helped the cause Of
good government. They called at
tention to the fact that after twenty
five years of suffrage, there was not
a single county poor house within
the borders Of the state and that the
population of the prisons was only a
nominal one.
Such a showing IS this on the part
of a state that has made such thor.
ough trial Of suffrage did not go.
without having its influence felt. Its.
neighbor state Colorado fell into line
shortly, then came Utah and Idaho
on its western borders. From here
it went west and added Washington,
Oregon, and later California to the
list of states where women NAV vote.
Iowa stands every chance of being
added on June 5.-Waterloo, Iowa,

in Corn
Escapes Weeds

Brookings, S. D., July seeding
alfalfa in corn has the advantage Of
missing the early weeds which are
especially harmful. There are also
other advantages of this method of
seeding alfalfa which is becoming
increasingly common in South Dako-
Ia, according to A. N. Hume, agron-
omist at the experiment station who
says:
"Only a few comparatively HARM
less species of weeds make a start as
late as August. Consequently, SO
far as weed competition is concern
ed, there is great advantage in seed.
ing alfalfa late. If you keep your
corn clean this summer, the corn
ground will probably be in excellent
shape for an alfalfa seed bed in
August, then you can seed alfalfa
right into the standing corn at the
usual rate of eight pounds per acre.
1t is possible to seed it broadcast
and harrow 1t in with a one-horse
cultivator. or perhaps better still
seed it in with a one-horse alfalfa
seeder made for the purpose. Such
machines are now being put on the
market. according to reports.
There is one obvious objection to
seeding alfalfa into corn and that is.
the inference of the corn stalks.
Those who have tried it, however,
say that this interference is not
great. Moreover. it is better to
have alfalfa hay with a few corr
stalks in it than to have no alfalfa
hay at ALL"

EGG PRODUCT
BRINGS GOOD MONEY
One Dealer Ships Out Nearly
$1,000 Worth This Spring

From March 14th to June 80, E.
M. Dunn shipped 53.49O dozens of
eggs and received therefor So, 800 %
as shown by his balance sheet for
the two and one half months.
Such items as this clearly indicate
the growing value Of industries and
products in this community. Only
by comparison with other years
when different conditions prevailed
can their growth be shown. These
egg shipment figures yer shown
to a pioneer farmer living out five
miles, and he remarked that IN the
early DAYS of settlement there was
practically no market here for eggs.
which he had at times hauled
to town and sold as low as three
cents per dozen.
This again illustrates a point re-
ferred to in this paper, viz: The
refrigerator car, the poultry car,
the modern stock car, the cream
express car. ETC., have brought
Miller and all primary markets very
much closer to the big cities. And
it NAV be added, also, that the auto
mobile is bringing the farm very
much closer to the town markets.
These things indicate a really
wonderful change for the better.
but they have come on so gradually
that our own people are the very
last to realize them. The value OF
products from our farms. the
homes, the churches and schools, the
good roads. telephones, modern con.
veniences, good markets-the manv
advantages, in fact, that we have
today, make good improved farms
in Hand county worth 500 per acre,
when compared with any other
agricultural locality. And we, our
selves. don't know it!

PRICED LAND
WORKING WESTWARD
Do Farmers Of This Locality
Know the Value of Their
Farms?

The high water mark in the price
Of land for this vicinity was set on
Tuesday when Col. w. w. Harding
closed the sale of his 240-acre stock
farm to Chas. Avery for the record
price of $2O8.3 SO per acre. The farm
is only two miles north of town and
is exceptionally we'll improved
Humboldt, Nebr.
The above clipping is from a Neb-
raska paper, which shows the price
farm land has already reached west
Of the Missouri river. This paper
was given to the Aberdeen Ameri-
can bv a farmer now living near
Aberdeen. This farmer formerly
lived near the Nebraska farm just
sold. He states that he has raised
more and better crops on his
Brown County. South Dakota, farm
than is raised on the Nebraska land
near the farm referred to above.
This being the case why should
the Nebraska land bring 5000 per
acre, and the South Dakota land
only $50? The only difference pro-
baby is in the surroundings. the
farm improvements. and general
development.
These prices are too far apart in
this day and age when close markets
are not as important as they were
once. Twenty five years ago butter
sold in Miller for 6 to 8 cents. be-
cause this was too far from market.
Today butter brings 80 cents in
Miller because shipping facilities
have made it available even to dis
tant markets. This applies to many
things, so that today it is not SO i'm
portant to have a farm as close to
market as was the case a quarter of
a century ago.
The Press was told a few DAYS
ago of farms selling about Pella.
Iowa. as high as $500 per acre
This brings the inquiry: Are the
owners of well improved farms in
Hand county fully aware OF the
value of their farms?
If Iowa has $500. and Nebraska
$500 land, is it a stretch of magma
ton to say that a well improved
farm in Hand county IS worth 500
per acre?

To Bore For Oil
At WATERFOWL


Watertown dispatches state that a
Pennsylvania Co. is preparing to
bore for oil near there. South Da-
kota is on a direct line between the
Texas, Oklahoma and Canadian oil
fields. in addition to this, evidence
is at hand that oil underlies South
Dakota. Indications of both oil and
gas have been seen several times
right here in Miller. In some fields.
wells are sunk to a depth of 5000
feet or more. No such effort has
been made in this state SO far as
heard from. 1t is easily possible to
add some new products to South
