Method Of Seeding.

Winter oats seeded with grah

Rate Of Seeding.
Winter oats Of the Culberson OF
Turf varieties may be seeded at the
rate Of 90 1.2 bushels per acre, with
a grain drill, or 3.3 l-2 bushels broad

varieties should be seeded at even
heavier rates.

Too many oat.growers follow the
practice of seeding oats on poorly
prepared land. Where land Is to be
broken the plowing should be don
several weeks before seeding, The
use OF q disc harrow and roller Is
very desirable to compact the seed
bed. When the oat crop follows a

Johnny Van Cleave received the
following letter from his brother
Walter, a few days ago:

DEAR BRoTHER:-StillI l haven't

1t does come. Il have some time. be-
lieve me; we play concerts every
day, some times twice, and In that
way get to see lots OF country. We
played at some OF the large hospitals,
and Oh boy. Yesterday was Sunday
and We played. some big numbers for
q French church service. and we
were treated fine. They had vio-
linist that was real. honest to God

good singer. After the performance
they tried to get us all drunk on
Port wine.
Our Lieutenant has arranged SO we
can get passes, so we can now visit
the town, have u meal in II restau-
rant or hotel, and have real good
time. We have good water here and
plenty OF good eats so we should
worry.
We are located good, and are all
we'll. have plenty Of wool soxs

can give them to the Red Cross. We

time.
The cities are built rather funny
over here, the streets all run to

the farmers come into these squares
with their products to sell them.
They line up all around the square
and wait for their pIice on their

This true t?) story recently APP
peared in theDenver Field and Farm:
"A good many years ago William
Reynolds went from Lawrence, Kan
sas, down into Oklahoma and bought
a farm from an Indian for mere
nothing. The place grew in value
and one day deed to the same piece
of land turned up in the hands of
another white man. 1t WAS dated
prior to the time Reynolds deed was
made and rs the Indian was then
dead 1t looked as If the latter were
left to hold the sack. He went to the
grave Of the Indian, possibly to give
vent to his wrath, but discovered
from the inscription on the marble
shaft that the first deed was made
before the Indian was twenty-one
years old. Reynolds hired team
and wagon and hauled the monument
to the county seat AS evidence to in
troduce in court and got judgment"

Colt Kicks And Almost
Kills Mcleod Farmer

Mcleod, N. D., Jan. S.-John Hall
of Mcleod met with an accident that
nearly cost him his life. In company
with another young man he was out
driving a team Of fresh and spiriteu
colts. One of them made a kick and
the full force Of this struck Mr.. Hall
just above the right eye, fracturing
the skull from above the eye to the
back Of the head. The force of the
blow was SO great that the brain was
displaced about one inch. A doctor
was Immediately summoned from En-
derlin.
Mr.. Hall remained conscious until
the physician had dressed the wound.
He then fell into a stupor and re-
manned in that condition for some
time and was that might taken to tho
Enderlin hospital, where he. now is
receiving treatment and it is reported
that his condition is as we'll as can
be expected. He may, however, lose
one eye.
The Hall family has had more than
their share of misfortune the latter
years. About six years g death

that the eldest son had both legs ami
one arm broken in a runaway, which
left him a cripple for life. About
three years ago one of the younger

State Bank Guaranty
Act May Not Go Into
Force Before July !

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 'S.-North
Dakota's state bank deposits guaranty
is not vet on the job. The state
bank examiners Office is not in much
better position to state when the
statute will become operative than it
was a, month or six weeks ago.. There
is such a S amount Of preliminary
work to be done that the department
may do we'll to have the act working
prior to July l, 1918, which is the
extreme limit on time allowance.
In the meantime, state banking is
pursuing the even tenor Of its way.
State banks are not permitted to ad-
vertise nor to claim in any way that
their deposits are guaranteed. and the
situation is exactly as it was before
the deposits guaranty act was passed
by the last legislature.
