Farmers Should Begin Now to Get

Farmers in Oklahoma who expect to

begin now to get that piece Of land in

crop, says Professor Dame of the
Oklahoma experiment station. 1t is
100 common practice not to plan the
crop for the farm until the season it is
TO be planted. This should not be the
case. and especially is this true for al
falfa. Many failures in securing a good
stand of alfalfa are due to the laXlty III

To begin with. select a well drained
piece of land. Alfalfa should not have
wet feet" Plow the land now. Don't
wait until next spring. Test this soil
FOR acidity with ltmus paper or send
samples from different parts of the
field to the soils department of the A.
and NJ. college at Saltwater. If the soil
is acid an application Of ground lime
stone is necessary to correct the acid
ity or sourness. The limestone should
be applied this winter SO as to give it
time to react with the soil before the
alfalfa is sown. Alfalfa will not thrive
on sour soil
This lard should then be worked as
early in the spring as the weather will
permit, and at intervals of about a
week or ten days until the spring crop
is to be planted. This is necessary to
kill the weeds. However. it is almost
impossible to kill all the weeds In this
way in the spring. but If a cultivated
crop is planted the tillase that such a
crop should receive during the summer
will put the soil in excellent condition.

able business investment. The poultry

commercial worth of hen. Figuring
under Missouri conditions that hen
costs 81 to feed for year and that
eggs average 20 cents a dozen, the hen
that lays GO eggs in year just pays
for her feed. Estimating that it costs
half as much again for housing and la.
Dor. the 90 egg hen just pays her total

Then the 100 egg hen makes a profit
of 10 eggs. the l20 egg hen 80 eggs and
the POO egg hen 40 eggs profit. In the
latter instance the profit Is $l.S5 l-3.
If this were considered as per cent
interest on an investment the hen
would be worth $22.91. OF course this
is for the 200 egg hen. but the 200 egg

YALE CREWS READY
 FOR TRAINING TABLE
Coach Nickalls Preparing for Peml Race Next Month-Fitzpatrick
 May Make First Shell.

New Haven, March 28-With the promise of open water on the har- Dor the remainder of the season, Yales training table for the oarsmen was last night organized by Coach Guy Nickalls and the first and second crews were ordered to report this morning. The regular and reserve eight, as formed for the present, with two substitutes, composed the table as follows: Varsity, stroke, Harri- man; No. :, Capt. Low; No. 6, Mey- CT; Mo- 5, Sturtevant Mo- 4, Shel- don; No. 3, kositzky; No. 3, Gilfillan: bow, Hume; coXswain, McLane, sec ond stroke, Hyatt; No. ', MacNaugh- ton; No. 6, Fitzpatrick; No. 5, Fox; No. 4, Whittlesey; No. 3, Atkins; Mo- ?, Norton; bow, Hadley: coxswain. Pratt; substitutes, Sanderson d nd Lawrence.
 This is close to the makeup of the two crews which will race the university of Pennsylvania on tho Schuylkill in three weeks. No changes are expected and only one or two seem possible. Coach Nickalls is eager to try out the two new stroke oars, Roland Hartman and Rufus Hyatt. Neither has stroked a Yale eight before in competition. Fitzpat- rick, one of the strongest Yale oars men two years ago, has returned to college after a years absence and although he is boated only with tie second crew at present, he is likely to be found in the regular shell at New London.

SEASON OF VERSES
 BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Carrying Out Advice of Coach Sc- cured Some Laurels for
 Basketball Team

The basketball season at the local High school is at an end and profit ing by experience gained through the numerous defeats it is likely that when next fall rolls around, the members of the 1916-1917 team will drop individual playing entirely and devote more attention to team play At the outset of the past season each player evidently became imbued with the idea that he was the whole shooting match" and forgot that there were four other men assisting ir the game, with the result that the usual outcome was the short end of the score.
 Toward the end of the season Coach ZWicS insisted that his policy of team play be carried out, and the team met With much better success, particularly in the Hartford game, which gave the followers of the quintet something to be tha ankful for.
 The team started off poorly, losing to the Farnum Hall and the Suffleld congregations, then a spurt was taken and Bristol and New Haven fell vic tms Crosby High, regarded as the crack team of the state, was pushed
 
 winning by a narrow margin. Vic tories were secured over such teams as Manchester, Gilbert High, and the Alumni, but the locals were out classed by Naugatuc twice, Wa 1erbury twice, Meriden, Hartford and Suffield, twice.
 Whatever honors there were to be awarded should be given to Brecken- bridge and Solomon, who played con- slstently through the season, the former attaining the reputation of teing one of the best shots in the state, while King Solomon was in a class by himself a guard. Bright prospects are looked for next season With such fine caliber as Hubbard and Barton who played in several games during the past season.

LUTHERAN INSTALLED
Rev. J. r. MichaelsOn of st. Paul Now
in Charge of Minot Church-GO0d
Man for the Place.

Rev J. R. Michaelson, pastor Of the
Zion Lutheran church, arrived in Mi
not last Saturday and was installed
Sunday. The new pastor preached .
very able sermon to q large congre-
cation on that day, making the most
favorable of impressions. That the
Zion Lutherans have showed excellent
judgment in their selection of pas
tor is the concensus of opinion.
Rev. Mr.. Michaelson is a young
man, a graduate of the Augsburg
Seminary three years ago, the same
school from which Rev. Mr.. Nilsen
graduated just prior to coming to Mi
not fifteen years ago. Rev. Mr.. Mich
aelson, since completing his work in
the Seminary, has been located at st.
Paul, where he had charge of the
Bethesda Lutheran church and the
at Columbia Heights.
He is very favorably impressed
with Minot and knows that he will
like his congregation and the city in
general. He visited Minot four years
ago as member Of the Augsburg
Sextette, which sang at the Zion Luth-
eran church. He is singer of abil-
ity and will be a valuable addition to
Mnot's musical circles.

Caught After Flight Through Three
States-Accused Once Lived
in Vicinity of Velva

Williston, Nov. 27.-Charged with
a most serious offense against his a.
year-old daughter, Clark W. Corey
OF Trenton was arrested at Okanogan,
Washington, upon information fur
nished by Williams county officials and
is now being brought to this city in

The capture of Corey ends a long
search which has covered three states,
and when the arrest was made he was
but a few miles from the Canadian
border, toward which the had been
working his way for some time. Lo-
cal officers believe Corey was sup
piled with information some time ago,
probably by friends who correspondent
with him in roundabout way.
The information supplied by the
wronged girl covers period Of two

legged of1enses committed when Corey
operated a threshing rig near Velva a
year ago this fall. 1t is said that Cor
ey at that time introduced his daugh-

In speaking of the new store, Mr..

can sell. We will be adding now lines
from time to time, but at present we
have immense stocks in many lines
We are proud Of our display and cor
