Hemp Growing In North Dakot.

That hemp can be raised in
the Red River Valley and is a
profitable crop for North Dakota
farmers will he demonstrated by
the international Harvester COM
pany which has made it's first
test of the crop at the expert
mental station ut Grand Forks,
this coming reason. Managers
ot the stations i'm the state have
been working on this plan for
some time and are now taking
steps to puI them into effect.
Five Thousand ;.cres of land in
the Red River Valley will be
leased at once and this land will
be put into hemp next spring
The problem to overcome will be
that of procuring seed. Expert
ments carried on the last year
at the station in Grand Forks
have demonstrated that hemp
can be grown in the valley with
success. 1t grows 9to IL feet
tall and yields from l, 500 to 2 900
pounds to the acre. 1t is of u
nigh grade and Well adapted for
the making OF Irvine.
The presnt price of hemp is
l24 cents IL pound and it has been
demonstrated that hemp is n
profitable crop to be raised i'm
this state at five cents a pound.
The international Harvester
company is undertaking this pro
iect to show the farmers that
hemp is II practical crop for the
state to induce them to raise it.
The prime object is to get the
farmers to raise their own tWine
and thus reduce the cost. The
company does not intend to go
into the hemp business but just
to interest the farmers so they
will make it one of their crops.
J.. Hemp is an easy crop to raise
and is one of the best weedkillers
discovered. A crop OF hemp will
, kill u field of weeds better than
any other crop, according to the
company's officials. 1t is seeded
in May and does not need to be
cut until the frost comes i'm the

Great Comet On Its Way

comet will sweep the surface of

comets renders them source of

and we have little to fear from the

even though enveloped in it.

news to observatories all over the

The statement that the new
comet will be a monster rests
principally on the fact that it was
discovered when fully 100000, 900

Death Of Edith Lauer

The Lauer home was saddened
Wednesday morning at live
thirty. when the spirit of Edith
winged its flight to the great be-
yond. Her death occurred at
family home in Enterprise town
ship.
Edith, the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lauer was
born and has grown to woman
hood in this community. She
underwent an operation for ear
trouble last summer at Fargo
and since had not regained her
usual good health. Thursday,
Jan. 4th, she became suddenly
i'll with meningitis and every
thing known to medical science
and most constant loving care
proved of no avail.
Edith was of a bright and
cheerful disposition and being
only nineteen years of age it is
hard for her relatives and
friends To part with her just in
tlse bloom Of young womanhOod.
She will ever be sorely missed in
the hearts of her parents, four
sisters, Il brother and the young
people with whom she associated.
The funeral occurred from the
Catholic church, Friday at ten
O'Clock, Rev. Father Kraus otfic-
iating, and the remains were
laid to rest in the Sisseton ceme-
tep. The long cortage of sor-
rowing friends that followed the
remains to the cemetery gave
ample proof of the esteem in
which the young lady was held.
The bereaved family have the
deep sympathy of the community
in their sorrow.
