North Dakota's wheat crop this
year will be something like 100000
bushels more than last year, which at
the advanced price will make a good
showing on the money returns. Some
thing like 100000 more bushels of
rye also will be produced and 3,0O0,-
900 more bushels of potatoes. On the
other hand corn is about $4,000
bushels short; oats, 100000 bushels
less, and barley 100000 bushels short,
Flaxseed and hay also show less pro-
.duction this year than last.
The government crop estimates for
North Dakota are as follows.
Wheat, 81 100000 bushels, against

SOW MORE RYE SAYS
DIRECTOR THOS. COOPER

In an interview in regard to rye
Director Cooper of the North Dakota
Agricultural Experiment Station stat
es that it has proved to be a profitable
and dependable crop to grow and that
the acreage could proftably be in
creased from million to a million
and quarter acres in North Dakota.
In addition to producing crop of
grain it may produce fall pasture
if sown early. This also gives it the
best chance of making a good crop
the next year provided it does not get
big enough to form joints in the fall
even if it is not pastured. In most OF
the state the rainfall has not been
heavy enough to pack the plowing so
that the soil is in fine condition for
sowing the rye in the stubble. This
can be done at a cost Of 40 cents an
acre for man and horse labor, plus
about three dollars for seed. Then it
will require no further work till har-
vest next July. Sowing part of the
farm to rye reduces the acre cost of
operation, may produce some fall pas
ture, makes more certain a crop on
part of the farm, distributes the la
Dor and offers good possibilities for
pron.

NARROW ESCAPE
IN AUTO SPILL
CAR RUN OFF STEEP EMBANK-
BANKMENT ON LAKE METZ
GOSHE ROAD SUNDAY

:. Ernest and Cleal Turner, Adolph
Hoffos and William Ford had an al
most miraculous escape from death
late Sunday night, when the car
they were driving went over steep
embankment on the Lake Metigoshe
road. Fortunately none of the oc-
cupants of the car were injured with
the exception of Ernest Turner, the
driver, who sustained some minor
bruises.
The boys were returning home
from the lake at about one o'clock at
great speed. In reaching sharp
curve in the road at the top of hill,
the driver failed to negotiate the
turn, with the result that the machine
went over the embankment and into
a patch of trees alongside the road.
The car which was a new Buick
owned by J. H. Turner, collided with a
large tree with tremendous force,
smashing in the front end of the car
That the driver was not instantly kill
ed is miracle, as the end of tree
was driven sidewise through the
steering wheel, missing the driver by
only a few inches.
All the occupants of the car were
hurled out of the machine. A bunch OF
keys belonging to Ford was picked up
about twenty-five feet from the de-
molished car, indicating the spot
where he again reached terra-frma.
While the car is badly wrecked, the
accident was really a lucky one, con-
sidering that no one was killed or seri-
ously injured. The demolished cal
was hauled into town Monday morn
ing and is being overhauled tc
again fit it for service.

CANNING" EGGS.

Grand Forks, Aug-Many persons
use fresh eggs for baking. The
preserved eggs are just as good. In
fact, preserved eggs are SO nearly
like the fresh eggs that it is hard to
distinguish them after they have been
cooked. The following methods OF
preserving is recommended:
Eggs may be preserved by storing
them in a solution Of nine quarts wa
ter to one of commercial water, or by
immersing them in a solution Of one
mound Of air slaked lime to five gal
Ions Of water. They may be stored
in these solutions in tin candy pals,
labeled, and put with other foods
without further attention. They may
be removed from the solution as they
are needed, and fresh eggs may De
added at any time.

INFORMATION DISIRED.

To Tree Growers in North Dakota:
Our poplars and cottonwoods are
threatened by the presence in our state
of a fungus disease known by its
scientific name as cytospora chrysos-
perma. It may be readily recognized
by it's appearance on the trees. 1t
looks like scattered patches Of dark
red wax lying in the cracks in the
bark. We are anxious to learn to
just what extent it is prevalent in the
state, and would like to hear from
all tree growers finding this fungus on
their trees. If in doubt, send sample
piece of infected bark. Please in
form me how many Of your trees were
killed by this last year, and how
many more are still infected. Prompt
action in this matter may make it
possible to save many of our trees.

state is almost as serious as the light
grain crop. The shortage OF rough
age will necessitate the selling OF a
considerable quantity Of stock that
should remain in the county.
The western part of Bottineau coun-
ty will suffer the most. While the hay
crop in the Mouse river meadows Is
unusually good it is inadequate to sup
ply the demand.
The farmers near Mohall have sent
representatives to Thief River Falls,
and other points in Minnesota, en-
powered to contract for several thous-
and tons.
