NEW FARM LOAN LAW
IN A NUTSHELL

Farm Life: Ten farmers or more
may form loan association.
Every man who wants to borrow
joins the association.
Preliminary organizations may be
made now, but loans will not be grant
ed till federal land banks are organ
lied.
W. w. Flanagan, washington, D.
c., is secretary Of the farm loan board
Write him for Circular No. g.
Pay no money to travelling organic
ers who profess to represent the gov
eminent.
No money should be collected or
paid for stock or expenses until the
association is chartered
Each local association should ask
for loans totaling $4,000 or more.
Loans will be made in any sum
from 500 to $10,00O-not exceeding
half the appraised value of the land.
Have your organization ready to ap.
ply for charter as soon as the fed
eral land bank in your district is or,
ganized.
Six per cent will be the maximum
interest rate. 1t is hoped the rate will
be less than that-perhaps as low as
four per cent.
Loans are made only on first mort
cages.
Mortgages will run not less than
five years, nor more than 40 years.

Is FLAX HARD ON LAND?l

A bushel of flax contains about twice
as much plant food as a bushel of
wheat, according to investigations by
j. w. Ince of the North Dakota Expert
ment Station. This means that ten
bushel crop of flax will remove as
much plant food as 20 bushel crop of
wheat and this is about the way the
yields of the two crops compare, so
that there is not much difference be-
tween the plant food removed by these
two crops each year.
There seems to be an impression
that fax is hard on land. This has
undoubtedly come from the fact that
when flax is grown on the same land
several years in succession the crop
grows smaller each year, and it may
entirely cease to yield. This, how.
ever, is due to disease known as flax
wilt. When this gets into land that is
growing flax it increases each year
| that flax is grown on the land, conse.
quently, the fact that flax runs down
quickly when grown on the same land
| several years in succession has moth.
| ing to do with the amount of plant
| food that it removes but is due to this
disease.
1t has been found that when flax
has not been grown oftener than once
in every five or six years that it does
we'll. Professor Bolley states that
this is due to the fact that by this
time the fax wilt disease has died out
He has developed wilt resistant flax
which can be grown on land that does
contain the flax wilt and still produce
crop. However, it is not. advisable
to sow flax oftener than once every
five years even when wilt resistant
| flax is used.

al capital Miss Amidon was in
charge of the big suffrage mass meet
ing held Sunday evening, March 4, in
the National theater.
Miss Amidor had personal charge
of the decorations which were very
striking, the whole interior being
adorned with the national colors. Not
only the suffragists of North Dakota,
but the suffrage leaders in Washing
ton, are loud in their praise of the
splendid work of Miss Amidon. Miss
Mabel Vernon presided and the speak
ers included Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont,
Fola LaFollette, Miss Maude Younger,

At the big mass meeting held Sun

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. A large ban
quet was given by the Woma7's party,

| ton of that original organization and
the Congressional Union. This was
| one of the largest pre-inaugural af-
fairs and was attended by over 400
people. Mrs. Weible was one of the
principal speakers, talking on the suf-
frage situation in North Dakota and

MOUNT MCKINLEY
NATIONAL PARK

secretary or the interior Lane an
nounce the creation by congress of
the Mount Mckinley national park.
This new reservation, which in
closes an area of 1900 square miles,
lies in south central Alaska and con-
tains the loftiest mountain in Amer
lea.
Mount Mckinley raises 10000 feet
above sea level. 1t is nearly 5000
feet higher than Mount Whitney, the
Hottest summit within the borders of
the continental United States. There
are few loftier mountains in the
world, notably in the Himalayas, but
none which rises so far above the
neighboring country. The valleys of
the Himalayas are from 1000 to 10000
feet and more in altitude; the valleys
of the Mount Mckinley national park
range from 1900 to 5000 feet in alti-
tude. McKinley's elevation above the
level of immediate observation, there
fore, is thousands of feet higher than
that of any other mountain, and the
sublimity of the spectacle it presents
is CORRESPONDENCE greater.
The magnificence of the spectacle is

upper $4,000 feet of the vast mountain
lis solidly covered with snow and ice.
Some of the hugest glaciers in the
world flow from McKinley's sides.
1T is an awe inspiring region of
massive mountains and ice capped
peaks" Belmore Brown of the Camn
Fire club, who assembled Mckinley
testified before the senate commit
tee on territories. "The Piedmont
plateau, that follows the range, at
fords a beautiful roadway direct to
Mount Mckinley, and when you
reach the plateau all difficulties van
ish and you see a view that is unique
on this earth. You see the huge
ing like great wall on the southeast
You can ride a pony to where Mount
Mckinley rises $1,000 feet above you
in glittering wall of snow and ice. II
is t1anked by stupendous mountains
which make wonderful setting fol-
the monster"
! The south side of Mount Mckinley
which is the gigantic climax of the
great Alaskan range, is nearly impass
, ible. 1t is covered by glaciers of enor
nous bulk; the annual snowfall in
| some places reaches a depth of &C
feet.
On the north side, however, is a
rolling country dotted with beautiful
lakes and forests and inhabited by
enormous herds of caribou. In fact the
special reason why congress set apart
the region at this time was to con
serve the wild animal life in advance
of the invasion of hunters which the
new government railroad will bring
into Alaska, the road as projected run
ming within 20 miles of this greatest
of natures spectacles.
Charles Sheldon, of the Boone ant
Crockett club, who has spent much
time there in recent years, told the
senate committee that several times
he has counted as many as 500 noun
tain sheep in a single day of ordinar,
travel, and that herds of caribou mum
bering from 1000 to 1900 are fire
quently seen.
AS game refuge and breedins
ground, the new national park is ex
pected to conserve Alaskan game
which elsewhere is rapidly disappear
ing. AS in the case of the Yellow
stone national park the reservation
will serve as a perpetual center O.

THE HORROR OF WAR

I'd love to charge onward in battle!
To slough off the foe I've yearn!
To saber a sarge in a cavalry charge
banker and hunger and burn!
I'd like to be dashing where bullets

The thought of it races my blood
But nix on the stenches of villainous

And mill around in the mud,
Odds blood!
A.milling around in the mud.
I yearn for form fitting uni,
And pockets to starboard and port,
The girlies will cape at my ravishing
shape
At least if they don't, then they ort;
I'll love to shout orders on bellicose
borders
And wallow in rivers of blood;
But here is the hitch; I'll be digging
a ditch
And milling around in the mud
Oh, lud!
A-milling around in the mud
I'm strong for the glamour and glory,
1ue Sledlu anu Tie Sulllluel anu

To the blaring of bands and the clap
ping Of hands
l could fight like a regular bear.
But digging howell with pickax and

The thought of it freezes my blood.

ROASTED THE FARMERS

The following editorial taken from
the columns of the Quincy lll) Jour
nal of recent date, should be read by
every merchant in this and othel
towns, for it hits the mark exactly:
A dry goods merchant was startlns
down town when his wife reminded
him of his most important duty dur
ing the day: Nov, my dear, be sure
and send to the city for that ne"
Stanhope, so we can have 1t tor sun
day. You know that our old buggy
is getting so that it is not fit to be
SEEN"
Just a few blocks away the merch
ant who handles vehicles and lmple'
ments was sitting at breakfast with
his family. The conversation drltted
around to the near approach OF
school, And that reminds me, John,
said the lady who sat at the head OF
the table, Il must be going to the
CITY not later than next week. | must
get school clothes and see about a
fall suit for myself, and while there
perhaps I had better see about new
rug for the parlor and some lace cur
tains for the front windows"
An hour after leading grocer step
ned into the bank to buy a draft
which he was going to send to a
catalog house for a swell bed room
suite.
"How's business?" asked the bank
err. ooh, not SO very good,' replied
the grocer, things are dull just now
Before the banker finished writing
the draft, a dapper young man with a
grip stepped up and asked how every.
thing was. The banker seemed glad
to see him. He was representative
of big printing establishment in an
other state. He and the banker chat
ted pleasantly for few minutes, al
ter which the young man inquired
casually of his friend behind the win
dow if he wanted anything. We'll,
yes" replied the banker. Il believe
do. Print us 5000 drafts, 5000
checks and 1000 letter heads" The
young man thanked his friend and
hustled out.
That night the local business men
had a meeting at the town hall to dis
cuss the growth of the mail order
evil. All the gentlemen mentioned in
the narrative delivered short talks.
They agreed that the farmers were
guilty of treason to their home mer'
chants when they persisted in buying
their goods from mail order houses
and the meeting closed by adopting
strong resolutions against trading
away from home.

COOPERATIVE WAREHOUSES.

Agriculture has sunk it's roots
deeply into the government and indus.
try during the last decade In the
mad rush to increase production, in
many cases the marketing side of
our farm problems has been over

no incentive to the farmer.
Cooperation as e. factor especially
in the marketing end of farm pro.
| ducts, is matter the possibilities of
which so far as it concerns North
Dakota, is being made the subject of
thorough Investigation. In this con-
nection many interesting facts are
brought out, showing the spread of T. e
cooperative movement throughout the
state. Among the latest of these is the
establishment bv a group of farmers
near Michigan, N. D., of a 10000 BUSH
ell potato warehouse to take care of
next years crop in that neighborhood.
Several important original ideas are
! incorporated in the movement which
may lead to it's general adoption
throughout the state. Shares are sold
at $25 each. On joining the organiza-
ton, each member pledges himself to

warehouse association In cooperation
with the State. Potato Growers asso-
citation, which will attend to the mar.
keting. Profits are distributed pro
rata"among stockholders only. Spec
ifcally, the plan will tend to do away
with the wildcat" incursions into the
state of foreign potato buyers who
flood every marketing point during
marketing season, and by combina-
tons among themselves, beat down
the purchase price, and having. cor.
nered the supply, bull the market by
the simple process of holding. These
added profits the Michigan farmers
intend to have for themselves.
