REPORTS AGREE THAT N. D.
WILL HAVE A GOOD PAYING,
THOUGH NOT A. BUMPER CROP
Continued from page y

About 10 bushels to an acre will be
the estimate wheat crop around Gard
mel, and all feed crops ire said to be
pcor. But 4Hensel reports conditions
very good, and from Hamilton comes
the word that the crop is not only
very good, but also that the farmers
are feeling fine.
The wheat yields near Concrete is
estimated at 8 to Is bushels to an
acre, and Cavalier reports that crop
conditions are better than the average.
While the harvest around Drayton
cannot be characterized as a bumper
crop, conditions are reported to be
very satisfactory in that part of Penn
bina county.
Bathgate reports:
"Crops are very good here and the
farmers are going to have lots of
money"
Backoo chimes in and says that her
crops are better than ever before.
Uneven Conditions in Pierce.
An enthusiastic banker at Rugby
writes:
"There is going to be some crop
here, and the price obtaining now will
give it good value"
Around Barton conditions are not
considered very good, however, and
a similar report emanates from Balta,
where it is added by way Of consola-
ton: CAT the present prices we e.
pect to see a good bunch of money
realized from this years crops"
Ramsey and Rolette Fall in Line.
Two reports from Hampden, Ram
sey county, say that about two-thirds
of the normal crops ae expected, but
that the prices at which wheat is be-
ing sold will mean that crop in reality
is better than the normal yield. Wheat
is said to be very good, oats are short,
and barley is light.
The observer at Edmore is very
careful in his estimate, for he thinks
that "about one-half of u farmers
will break even, fourth will go be-
hind, and one-fourth will have money
TO put in the bank. Another Edmore
analysis is to the effect that wheat
and rye are considered good, while
barley and oats are poor.
Rolla, Rolette county, says that
prospects were never better than this
year, and from Mylo comes the report
that wheat yields 20 bushels to an
acre in some instances; the average is
estimated at from 10 to Is bushels.
Rye will give about 10 bushels to an
acre.
Enthusiasm in Towner and Trail.
Very encouraging reports come
from Cando, Towner county, where
the wheat crop is described as being
very fair and by another mar as very
favorable. In both cases it is added
that the crops will bring in as much
money as in any past year.
At Bisbee it is said that the crop is
a little less than the average, but the
farmers will figure on big prices and
will have considerable money.
Hillsboro banks in Trail county re-
port conditions fine and add that the
largest money crop ever seer in that
part Of the county will result from
the harvest.
. Hatton's two banks agree that the
crops are the best for many years and
that they are above the average, and
Buxton farmers are very satisfied
with the outlook, for they are in a
position to report that crops are very
good.

Grow Vegetables for Canning.

The present high price Of foods and
the probability that the highest level
has not yet been reached emphasize
very strongly the necessity for ex-
ercising every possible economy on
the part of the average family, in the
country as well as in the city. The
value of the home garden is, Of
course, very generally known, but in
order to obtain the greatest benefit
from the garden special considera-
ton should be given such vegetables
as are adapted to canning. This in
cludes many of the more common
ones, such as string beans, eggplant,
okra, English peas, corn, lima beans,
tomatoes and carrots. 1t is said that
enough vegetables annually go to
waste from the average farm garden
to supply the table during the entire
winter. When canned properly vege-
tables should retain their attractive
color and lose very little of their
favor-L. S. u. Press Bulletin.

SOME CORN VARIETIES
ADAPTED TO LOUISIANA

There Is no one best variety of corn
for louisiana Under average condi-
tions the number Of desirable varie-
ties, however. Is not very large. Those
that have become established among
the Southern types should be relied
upon. Among the small-eared prolific
corns that have given best results uni
formly are Hastings Prolific, Mosby's
Prolific, Gandy's Prolific, all more OF
less closely related, and very few
similar strains bearing local names.
OF the Iarge-eared type the Calhoun
Red Cob, sentell's White Dent and
related varieties are the most depend
able. ==..=-
The Yellow Creole is justly a pop
ular variety in extreme South LOUISE
ana. In, variety tests it never stands
toward the top, but under average
farm conditions 1t has many good
qualities to commend it. The stalk Is
strong, the shuck is heavy and well
closed at the end, and the grain Is re-
sistant to weevils and wet weather.

VELVET BEANS.
Merits of Valuable Legume Pointed
Out in Circular.

W. R. Perkins, forage crop special
list Of the Louisiana live stock extern
sion service, has issued an interesting
circular on the subject of velvet
beans. pointing out their value as
fertilizing crop, and describing meth
DDS of planting, cultivating and har-
vesting the legume.,
The attention of farmers is direct
ed particularly to the fact that velvet
beans make larger growth on poor
lands and stand drouth better than
any other leguminous crop. They
should be planted liberallyoan all OF
the poorer, hilly sections of the state.
Seed can be had in small lots as low
as SI.25 per bushel, which is much
cheaper than any other pea or bean.
This crop should appeal especially
to cattle and hog men. Dalrymen
and cattle feeders will find velvet
bean meal good substitute for cot
ton seed meal. The prices paid for
picking the beans vary from 10 to 70
cents per hundred pounds. The beans
in the bulls can be crushed on any
ear corn mill, and the surplus should
readily sell at $25 to $50 per ton.
Velvet beans make rich feed, but
on account of the difficulty Of curing
and handling as hay, it is not recon-
mended that any attempt be made TO
harvest the vines. A good crop has
$50 worth of fertilizing value to the
acre, which is about double the actual
feeding value, and it is doubtful in
such cases whether this fertility will
ever get back to the soil if once put
in the barn. The stubble, as rule,
will contain about one-ffth to one
fourth of the fertilizing value of the
crop. The amount of fertilizer re-
moved from the land in the crop is
worth considerably more than the
feed obtained.
The crop should not be touched UNI
til after frost, then the corn should
be harvested and the beans that are
wanted for seed or for feed should be
picked, after which hogs and cattle
should be turned in to consume every
thing that is left. A good field of
velvet bean vines with the seed on
them will support the cattle through
the winter and keep them in good con-
dition. In one section of Allen par
ish where velvet beans are being
grown extensively, butchers We're
able in February to buy from farmers
cattle that were in condition to be
butchered without having had any
other feed than the run on the velvet
bean field. The beans not needed
for planting can be ground up in an
ordinary feed mill, hulls and all.
They make splendid feed for cows,
horses and hogs. Analysis of this
feed shows composition better than
wheat bran Or shorts.
Let every farmer in the state learn
of the value of this crop and plant it
in every patch Of corn.

CLOVER BLOAT MAY
USUALLY Be PREVENTED
Cattle Should BE Changed From Dry
to Green Feed Gradually.

A sudden change from dry feed to
g. green, succulent feed Of any kind is
likely to cause bloating in cattle.
This is especially likely to occur when
they Craze on white clover in the
spring when it is young and green, or
when it is in full bloom. 1t rapidly
ferments in the paunch, and the gas
there produced causes distenslon OF
this large stomach on the left side OF
the animal, with the characteristic ap-
pearance, and the general train OF
symptoms, familiar to most cattle
owners.
Preventive measures always give
the most satisfactory results in ward
ing off this condition. When first turn
ing cattle on clover, it should be done
gradually until the digestive organs
become accustomed to the change;
and the safest way Is not to permit
them to eat this succulent feed for
longer than twenty minutes to half
an first day, and increase the
length e11oeAe fs1a1loo each uay tttei-
wards until 1t seems to have lost it's
bloating effect 1t is safer, ALSO, not
to turn the cattle on this pasture
while the dew is on 1t.
Another preventive method is to
give the cattle some dry feed, such as
hay, before turning them on the clo-
yer. This. of course, lessons the
quantity OF clover consumed and tends
to prevent fermentation of the green
feed.
After short while, when the stom-
ach has accommodated itself to the
change from the dry to the succulent
feed, the animals may consume large
quantities OF the latter without appar-
ept nconvenience-W, Fl. Dalrymple,

DOUBLE MORAL STANDARD.
Wide Difference in Codes of Ethics
for the Sexes.

Wide Difference in Codes of Ethics
for the Sexes.
Why does the sight of man smok-
ing a cigar awake no comment, but
why would woman putting one set
the town afire?
Why is it that a man can drink
liquor, get drunk and disgrace him
self, yet be received as social equal,
while a woman who drinks will be
debarred from the same social recog-
milton?
How is it that man who drags
himself down into the lowest mires of
sin and filth can walk into parlors
with the purest of women and be
greeted as respectable citizen, when
the woman who sins even once is
damned and forever Stunned?
The double standard of morals gives
the explanation; we have one code
of ethics by which to judge woman,
and practically no code of ethics by
which to Judge man. We tell the wo-
man to do right, and the man to do as
he pleases. The double moral stand
ard is unjust, and in the course of
time will disappear.-Slidell Sun.
