ascends from below, as it always does,
on the principle of capillarity, it cam
not pass this dust mulch. But when
rain falls in sufficient quantity, it
passes down through this dust mulch
to the moist soil below and destroys
its effectiveness, and in order to again
be effective it must be renewed. The
harrow is the agency by which this
should be accomplished, and the best
time is as soon as it can be operated
without the earth adhering to it. De-
lay will mean that numerous cracks
and fissures in the earth will appear
through which an immense amount of
moisture will be in short time lost.
BY narrowing the dust mulch is re-
newed, and such attention should be
given after each rain. Keeping dust
mulch all through the season is more
profitable than praying for rain.
1t is impossible to prognosticate
very far in advance what nature has
in store for us in the way of benefcent
growing conditions. One thing, how
ever, is assured-the enormous de-
mand which will be made upon the
state and nation for wheat, needed to
feed not only our own millions, but a
portion of which will be needed to sup
ply the needs Of war-ridden Europe.
Therefore, a bumper crop for North
Dakota is imperative. Every agency
which the farmer controls should be
thoroughly made use Of. If ever the
farmer of North Dakota should rise
to his opportunity, it is now.

SMITH STIRS UP
A HORNETS NEST
Plaza Editor "Called" by Ben Drake
Charged with Making False State
ments Before MINI. Legislature.

St. Paul, March 28.-After George
j. Smith, of Plaza, N. D., editor of a
chain of newspapers in North Dakota,
had spent the entire day in making
charges of incompetence and misman-
agement on the part of the directors
of the Equity Cooperative Exchange,
Attorney Benjamin Drake late today
asked the Teigen investigation COM
mittee of the house of the Minnesota
legislature to strike from the record
all testimony relating to the financial
affairs and transactions in grain.
Smith charged that former sales
man connected with the exchange pro-
fitted to the extent Of $4,000 by buy
ing grain from the Equity and selling
it to the Minneapolis market.
Charges False Statements.
This witness for several months
has been making false and malicious
statements concerning the Equity"
Mr.. Drake declared. 1T is a shame to
let these reports attacking the integ-
rity of a great farmers organization
go broadcast over the country, espec-
tally when Mr.. Smith admits that he
wants the Equity to fail"
Chairman A. F. Teigan and Repre-
sentative j. M. Madigan, the only
members of the committee present,
took the motion under advisement.
Mr.. Drake also asked that the COM
mittee hold Mr.. Smith under call in
order that they might produce evil
dence that would "show him up" Mr..
Smith strongly objected to remaining
longer than today and the committee
excused him from further testimony.
No Expense Guarantee.
Mr.. Smith in his testimony denied
that he had sought to obtain the re-
moval Of President ]. M. Anderson Of
the Equity. "I'd like to see him go
down with the ship he is helping to
sink" he said, and added, "the truth

CONSIDER THE
DEADLY PARALLEL
The Independent Exposes the Methods
of the Daily News in Getting As
sOciated Press Reports.

The Minot Daily News declared in
a recent editorial that thru it's Asso-
ciated Press reports it is enabled to
get the news "ten minutes after it
happens"
But does it? Let's see.
The Minneapolis Journal of Wednes-
day, March %, contained story of an
accident at Fairfield Iowa, where
three were killed when a Burlington
train struck an auto.
News, published the same story (By
Associated Press "ten minutes after
the accident happened, we presume.
On Wednesday, March 28, the Min
neapolis Journal printed long story,
a genuine Associated Press report, un-
der a London date line, the beginning
of which stated that give thousand
skilled American farmers on English
soil would go long way toward COM
batting Germany's plan to starve Eng
land into submission thru her sub
marines"
The same story, word for word, ex-
cept with a slightly changed heading,
which was done in an effort to fool the
News readers, appeared in the issue of
the Daily News one day later, as an
Associated Press report, which the
News would have it's readers believe
came red hot off the wire, ten minutes
after the original story was written.
The Associated Press dope" evil
IDENTIFY wasn't coming in very well
Thursday for under a caption of "No
Starvation for England" published as
an Associated Press report, the News
printed the statement of DR.. Albert
0. w. Suedekum, one of the best
known leaders Of the majority Social
lists in the Reichstag. This appeared
in Thursdays edition. Last Monday
there appeared on the Independents
window as bulletin this same story.
We knew the News had reputation
for being slow, but we didn't believe
that it would take that sheet from
Monday morning until Thursday even
ing to get the news which appeared
on our windows into it's columns.
We have copy Of the Minneapolis
Journal and the News on our desk
and any reader who doubts the above
statements may examine them.
The Independent could go on recit-
ing dozens of instances where the
News has clipped articles from other
papers and given them to it's readers
as fresh stuff, hot from the wire, and
branded to make it's readers believe
that the stuff was sent over the wire
by the Associated Press. What's the
use of trying to fool the readers in
that way? It's an insult to their in
telligence.

COMPLETE BERTHOLD
FARM LOAN ORGANIZATION

Berthold, N. D., March 29.-The di-
rectors of the Berthold National Farm
Loan Association met at Berthold
March "a and completed the organ
ization with Mr.. o. A. Hagen of Ber-
thold, president; John Kassens of Lone
Tree, secretary-treasurer. This as
sociation will place first mortgage
farm loans in the territory tributary
to Des Lacs, Lonetree, Berthold, Hart
land and Foxholm. The interest rate
will Auctuate with the bond market Of
the world, which at present allows
loans to farmers at near per cent
on any length of time up to 40 years
with prepayment privilege at any
time. The association has access to
almost unlimited capital supported by
the U. S. Treasury and supervised by
the u. S. government. Applications
for $40 100000 in loans are already on
file with the secretary treasurer. It
looks as though any farmer in need OF
a loan would take advantage of this
low interest and long time feature.

USES FOR THE HARROW
Important Implement Because of Its
Efficiency in Preventing Escape
of Moisture

Of all the implements Of agricul-
ture it would seem correct to say that
no implement is so patent to prevent
the escape Of moisture from the soil
as the harrow, and the ways in which
it may be used to affect this end are
many. These include the narrowing
Of summer fallow land, autumn plowed
land, land that is plowed late in the
spring for immediate sowing, and land
that has been sown to grain.
The function of the harrow is to
effect a dust mulch. This mulch of
fine earth dries out to the extent OF
one or two inches. When moisture
