FARMERS ARE
ASKED T0PL0W
EARLY FALL FLOWING IS ONE
REQUISITE FOR OBTAINING A
GOOD CROP.

Bismarck, N. d., Sept. 3O.-The
North Dakota farmers, having already
gone "over the top" in the production
OF wheat to feed our armies and the
armies of our allies, Commissioner Of
Agriculture and Labor John N. Hagan
calls upon the farmers of the state to
begin to prepare for another big crop
next-one that will equal or excel the
1918 Liberty crop. : 4. =. :;
Early fall plowing, Mr.. Hogan says,
is one of the requisites of obtaining a
goodcrop, and in advocacy of early
fall plowing, he says:
ut is necessary that North Dakota
next year raise a large amount Of
wheat. In doing what is manifestly
our privilege and duty we will have the
substantial appreciation of guaran-
teed minimum price per bushed for
wheat.
"In producing crops in North Dako-
ia there are many factors to contend
with, some over which we have little
or no control and others that are en-
tirely up to us. Among the latter the
time and method Of plowing is one of
primary Importance.
"The best place to grow wheat is
on the ground that has been some in
terrified crop or on summer fallowed
ground. However, in order to grow
the amount of wheat expected Of us
much of it will have to be raised on
ground that this year had wheat or
some other small grain crons m r.
In getting good crop on such land
one of the requisites is good. early fall
plowing. This is deserving of much
attention because of the generally
larger yield as compared to the spring
plowing.
"The advantages of early fall plow-
ing are:
"1-The destruction of weeds or
grass which absorb the moisture that
otherwise be available the following
year for the growing crop.
CIT allows the soil to become
packed, thus furnishing the desirable
firm, mellow seed bed and prevents ca
pillary evaporation.
"3-It makes possible early seeding.
This is possibly the most important as
statistics show that early seeding Of
wheat is necessary if maximum re-
turns are to be had"
The recent rains over practically
all of the state have wet down suffi-
GENTLY, Mr.. Hagan says, so that the
condition of the ground for plowing is
ideal.

Forced Desertion Of Turkish
Armies Believed Next Action
BOLD ROBBERY
At EDM0RE

Sunday evening last a. bunch Of
.threshers were having nice, quiet
little poker game in one of their rooms
at Edmore,> and couple of colored,
ge'mmen dropped in to see how things
were running. After they had watch
ed the game long enough to learn that
there was considerable money in the
crowd they drew couple of wicked
looking guns, and demanded "hands
up" 1t seems that this did not please
all Of the crowd present, and when one
or two resented the abrupt roceedings
the negroes began shooting, seriously
wounding two men. Then they pro-
ceeded to gather up what money was
in sight, and qquickly separated. The
two men who were shot were Judd
Norman and Carl Russmen. Both
were shot through the abdomen and
one Of them was also shot through the
arm. They were hustled to the Cen
eral hospital in this city, were they are
at the present time and both are in a
serious condition. Sheriff, Olsen was
imediately called by phone and left at
once for Edmore, arriving there q
couple Of hours after the shooting,
and he Immediately got busy to locate
the criminals, but up to this time no
trace of them have been found. It is
evident that they are both bed men,
and had planned the job, as in the
evening they had procured considera-
BILE grub, evidently for the purpose Of
taking with them, and in all probabili-
ty they will lay low in the daytime and
try to get out Of the country at night.
One Of the fellows was rather small
man, and it is said that he waslurk-
ing about this section Of the country
last fall during threshing ,and was in
the immediate vicinity Of several
towns where robberies were committed
man, and it is said that he was lurlk-
towns where robberies were commit
ted. Later one fthe men has been
captured and is now in Jail.

TERMS ACCEPTED
BY BULGARIA GIVES ALLIES
USE Of RAILWAYS, CANALS
AND RIVERS.

Bulgaria is definitely out of the
war and Turkey, virtually cut off from
communication with her allies and her
armies in Palestine almost annlhiliat-
ed, likely soon will. be forced to sue
for a cesession of hostilities against
her.
Seeing eventual defeat staring her
in the face through the swift progress
Of the Serbian, italian, British, Greek
and French troops in the reclaiming Of
Serbia and the invasion of Bulgarian
territory, the Bulgarians begged for
an armistice, reserving to themselves
no conditions. .

less the time is not far distant when
advantage to the full will be taken Of
the new avenue through which the en-

GRAVE DANGER TO AUSTRIA
With the debacle in Serbia and Bull

and when their evacuation to their own
borders is accomplished the Allies will
have welded an iron sem-circle about
the Central powers from the Black

Although it has been officially an
nounced that hostilities against the
Bulgarians ceased at noon Monday,
French official communication Of Mon
day night said French cavalry had
entered Uslzub, one Of the most i'm
portant centers in Serbia. It is not
improbable, therefore, that the French
+ are still hard after the Germans who
are known to have been fighting with
the Bulgarians in this region, acting
as rear guards.
