FARMERS
OUT IN FIELD
Wheat In Western Part of State
in and Other Grains Now
Being Planted.

Fargo. April lo-seedinE has begun
throughout the state at the present
time. and in the south central dis
trict, unusually rapid progress has
been made.
Paul Ravens, member of the state
legislature from N%ortonville, LaMoure
county, said several farmers in that
district already have completed wheat
seeding. and IN now turning to feed
grains, such as barley, oats. etc.
The farmers Of the Nortonville
district had an unusually large
amount Of fall blowing completed"
said Mr.. Havens. land they have been
able to advance their spring work
very rapidly rs a result"
Reports from the Missouri slope
district, which includes all Of the
southwestern section Of the state, in
dictate that about 25 per cent Of the
wheat has been sowed so far.
In the northern half Of the state,
while the seeding is somewhat later
than in the southern district, still 1t is
being advanced rapidly.
There has been only n rain so far
this spring, and that fact has aided
materially in permitting the farmers
to advancing their seeding operations.

That would probably result in an au-
tomato regulation Of all prices from
the producer to the consumer. If It
failed to do so, further government
action might be necessary.
Quarantine Price.
Lot the government, say guaran-
tee to the farmer q minimum price
Of $3.50 a bushel for all the wheat
he can raise. It would be q perfectly
safe thing to do. 1t would not cost

this is an emergency which nothing

VegetabIes-lt is Hardy

The leek belongs to the onion family,
and is used mostly as fiavoring for
soups. Well-grown leeks have a very
agreeable and not very strong onion
flavor. The leek is of the easiest cul-
ture, and is usually grown as a second
crop, to follow beets, early peas and
other large vegetables. In form it is
hardy, flat-leaved, Dubious perennial
The blanched stems and bulb are used
in cookery for seasoning in the same

SUPERIOR MIXTURE FOR HAY
Oats and Canadian Field Peas Make
One of Best Crops-Use Grain
Drill for Seeding.

A mixture Of oats and Canadian field
peas makes one of the best hay crops
which can he seeded and harvested in
the same season. The mixture will
produce larger yields than either crop
seeded alone. Peas, being a legume,
make the hay richer for feeding pur-
poses than oats alone and improve the
soil. Also, the oats support the pea
vines so that harvesting is much
easier The mixture should be sown
two to three inches deep at a rate of
two bushels oats and one bushel peas
per acre. Use of the grain drill is the
best way to seed the crop, but if a
drill is not available the seed may be
brOadcasted and covered with a disk
or harrow. Sow at oat seeding time
or as early in spring as land can be
prepared. Cut the hay when the oats
are in the milk-ripe or early dough
stage and the pea pods well formed
but not ripe. A palatable and nutri-
tious hay, yielding one and one-half tc
three tons per acre will result.

late years it's value is becoming more
generally appreciated, and now most
gardens contain at least a few plants.
The seed should be sown in a seed
bed in late April or early May and the
seedlings transplanted to the garden
in June or July, when they should be
five or six inches tall. At this time
the tops should be cut back half and
the plants set deep twelve to fifteen
inches apart and six to nine inches
asunder. The reason for setting the
plants so deep is that the neck and
lower part of the leaves are to be used
in a blanched condition. The soil may
be drawn toward the plants in cultivat-
ing to further the blanching. One
ounce of seed is used to 100 feet of
drill.
Being very hardy, the plants may be
dug in late fall and stored in the same
manner as celery, in trenches or in
cool root cellar.
As the mild flavor and excellent sea-
soning qualities of this vegetable are
beginning to be more generally known,
the demand is increasing. and it may
now be found on all the vegetable
stands.

Where land in the East is plowed in

the time of blowing and seeding, dur

NEGRO FOUND DEAD
 NEAR BODCAW

A negro named Haywood Langster who lived about mile and half north of Bodcaw, was found dead near his home yesterday morning by neigh bors who were passing that way. No detailed information could be secured relative to the cause of his death, but it is believed that he did not die from natural causes.
 Langster was connected with re- port that was circulated in the neigh borhood of Sutton and Bodcaw about another negro who had been boasting about what he and his race would do in case the white men were called to war and the country was left unpro- tected. Langster was one of the ne- groes who told the white men of it and the general belief is that certain of his race did not want him to tell any more, and this was one means of silencing him.
