JIM HILLS GREAT FARM TO

Farm, the &c. 53 acre agricultural and

1t was purchased by the Payne In

grafton Agent of the Great Northern
railway, will help select desirable set

There had been many prospective
buyers Of this vast estate fatty turn
ed down because Of the steadfast po-
sition taken by President Louis w.
Hill, of the Great Northern railway,
one of the heirs, who, impressed by the
desire of his illustrious father, de-
manded two conditions to be adhered
to-frst, that the purchaser of the
estate would not sell more than 800
acres to any one person, and secondly,
that these tracts should be sold at
reasonable retail prices. In this way
Louis Hill safeguarded the wish of his
father that the land shall pass into the
hands of bona fide settlers.
Great interest always has been cen
tered upon these broad acres because
they were the personal selection of
Jim Hill, who was recognized in the
agricultural world as an eminent au-
thority. The late Great Northern

open bottom allows better circulation
of air than can be secured in a pan.
Several Of these trays can be placed
one above the other and then set over
a stove. The heat will pass up thru
the trays and bring about quite rapid

able, can be used to force a current of
air through the vegetables. In drying
the vegetables they should not be dried

A SERIOUS CREDIT PROBLEM.


Fargo Courier News: This year
for many farmers will be a second sea-
son of dire misfortune. They will
have failed for two years running. to
get a crop sufficient to pay running
expenses. A 50 minimum for No. 1
Northern wheat will do them little
good, because they have little or no
wheat to harvest.
If ordinary business practice is fol-
lowed out this will be heavy year for
foreclosures Hundreds of farmers are
likely to be turned off their farms, not
thru any fault Of their own, but thru
the misfortune Of two successive bad
seasons for grains.
This will not be merely bad thing
for the farmers but bad thing for
the state and a worse thing for the
nation. 1t will mean taking skilled
farmers away from their farms and
reducing by that much the crop capac-
ty Of the country.
It is good national policy. and ex-
ceptions should be made to ordinary
banking and business practice with re-
spect to foreclosures this year. The
question ought to be taken up with
officers of the government. One means
might be thru the state council of de-
Tense and the department of agricul-
ture. Government money at low rates
ought to be available to help. A small
sum compared to the hundreds OF
millions that must be spent on war
supplies would be of great benefit in
increasing the food supply.
The farmers should be protected,
not only against foreclosure, but
against usurious rates to float loans
or personal credit.

BUCKWHEAT.

The following editorial on buck
wheat taken from the columns of the
Kansas City Star, is so interesting and
to the point that we reproduce it..
BuckWheat will grow in North Dako-
ia. 1t is one of our very best crops,
altho not one farmer in five hundred
has ever tried to raise any of it here.
The late William Parker was the first
man in Ward county to grow buck
wheat and nearly every year he raised
a good sized field very successfully:
The editorial from the Star follows:
An argument is going on as to the
advisability of planting buckwheat in
Missouri. Not many of the younger
generation ever saw buckwheat grow
ing, for the acreage is limited, and
even buckwheat griddle cakes are a
rarity. But the Old Settler leans back
against the store front and recalls
when buckwheat cakes were on nearly
every table the winter through and
when a young woman who couldn't
mix a good buckwheat batter wasn't
considered "fitten' to wed and take
charge of a household.
"BuckWheat cakes and Injun batter
makes you fat. and makes you fatter,"
huns Old Settler, barking back to the
days of fifty years ago when that was
a popular song in Missouri.
Buckwheat cakes and maple syrup!
Not the kind of maple syrup they
make nowadays, though. No stree
Not that sort of stuff, thin enough to
fill a fountain pen with, but maple
syrup boiled down until it was thick as
bees honey. Take a buckwheat cake
hot from the griddle, fat, thick, brown,
light, spread it with country butter
that melts as it touches; then upend
the syrup jar over it and let the thick,
amber colored fluid trickle down until
every bubble hole on the cake is SWIM
ming full of hot butter and syrup,
and
Hush your MOUTH exclaims Old
Settler. There was nothing so good,
unless it was hot buckwheat cakes
and bees honey"
One beautiful feature of growing
buckwheat is that it's bloom is pecul-
iarly rich in honey of high quality,
as good as clover honey, and, Old
Timer says:
when you planted buckwheat you
killed two birds with one stun; you
crowd the buckwheat to make the
cakes and the honey to eat on 'em both
at once"
Buckwheat will grow almost any
where in Missouri, but if planted on
rich ground it will become too rank
and fall down. AS Jewell Mayes, sec
rotary Of the state board of agricul-

1t will be well for those who have
been drawn for the selective draft to
make arrangements to appear before
the county exemption board on the

they fail to appear, they will be re-

county exemption board expects to re-
ceive official notification Of the num-
bers drawn this week and will mail

notifying them of the date they shall

Hundreds of farmers in North Da-
kota are now without oats to feed
their horses to enable them to carry
on their farming operations. The
drouth struck the state serious blow,
the farmers using most of the supplies
Of feed in putting in the greatest
spring crop the state has ever known,
depending almost entirely upon rails
ing sufficient feed to continue their
work during the fall months and dur
ing the coming spring. Right now, in
many localities, farming operations
have been tied up because of the lack
of feed. The government ought to do
something and at once. Feed should
be sent to North Dakota and sold at
cost. Some of the money raised for
the war ought to be loaned to the
farmers to buy feed at low rate of
interest.

ture, points out, it does best on sour
lands and on lands poisoned with
cockleburs, morning glories, cotton
weeds and the like. 1t will smother
them out.
Another advantage is that it may be
sown now on ground where wheat or
corn failed and will ripen before frost.
Chow many of you fellers know the
shape Of grain of buckwheat? ask
ed Old Settler of the group listening
to him.
Buckwheat gets its name from
beech-wheat, because it is three-cor-
nered, like a beech-nut.

A BILLION DOL
LARS

Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, says more than bill
lion dollars worth of manure is vast
ed annually on the farms of the Ma
ton.
What he says of it recalls the case
of the Iowa farmer, who proudly led
the way to show his system of manure
disposal. The barn was situated on
the bank of branch. On the creek
side were the manure windows.
The water carries the manure away
and | don't have to bother hauling it,"
he said.
That's just one exceptional case.
Yes, but not in actual results. The
manure on a large per cent Of the
farms is put to no better use.
Can you imagine that sort of waste
in Germany? Such action would lead
to jail In America, it leads towards
the poorhouse.
1t would be hard to estimate just
how many dollars worth of fertilizer
lies wasting on Ward county farms,
but it is safe to say that it runs up
into a good many thousands Of dol
lars. A farmer seldom makes a mis-
take when he invests in a manure
spreader-and uses it.

Committees are at work today in
the city raising a $4,000 fund for
members of the two Minot companies
who will soon leave for the front.
They are meeting with good success.
The Minot business and professional
men who remain behind have given up
the idea of making much of a profit
until after the war closes. We, who
are left behind, should willingly give
all that we. have to spare for the COM
forts Of the brave young men who
offer their life blood for US.

DRYING VEGETABLES.

Vegetables can be preserved for fu-
ture use by drying. One point to keep
in mind is that the drying should be
fairly rapid so that there will be no
chance for the vegetables to spoil be-
fore sufficiently dry. Another point is
that the vegetables, if fleshy, should be
cut into slices 1-8 to Ia inch thick.
There are several ways of drying: sun
heat artificial heat and air blast.
There are several makes Of dryers on
the market. The trays on which the
drying is done, should have implanted

WOMEN AND NICOTINE.

Are American women to become Gig
arctic smokers? If the tobacco pub
licity in certain society publications
is any criterion, there is a tendency
this way. In foreign countries this
would be no innovation. There, the
cigarette is as common among women
as among men.
At the same time, we can truthfully
say that we prefer our American girls.
Yes, and even those of us who smoke a
little occasionally, prefer to see the
girls without the fancy trimming of
cigarettes.
Heaven knows, poor dad has enough
bills to pay as it is, without supplying
nicotine in fancy packages for Friend
Wife and for daughter Nita.
