Washington, D. c., Feb. 19.-Spring
wheat, oats, barley and flax are the
best small grain crops to grow in
western North Dakota and South Da-
kota, and eastern Montana, accord
ing to results of nine or ten years of
experimentation in that region by in
vestigators of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. Winter
wheat, however, generally yields bet
ter than spring wheat in the vicinity
of the Elack Hills, according to re.
port of the work recently published
as Farmers Bulletin $751;, Grains for
Western North Dakota and South Da-
kota and Eastern Montana" ...
The production of small grains in
this region is most profitable, the spe-
cialists declare, when combined with
livestock farming and the growing of
cultivated crops. Wheat and flax
may be grown as cash crops for mar
ket, while oats and barley may be
marketed for feed to live stock. Win
ter rye, spring emmer, and millet al
so can be grown successfully. The
bulletin mentioned discusses the best
varieties OF the various grain crops
recommended, and gives directions,
with notifications for differences in
soil and climate, for their culture.
The best time to break the native
sod is in April, May, or June, because
the soil usually is moist at that time.
Old land should be plowed in the fall
and left rough over the winter to
catch and store the rains. Fall plow-
ing is preferable to spring blowing,
as it permits earlier seeding in the
spring Land on which cultivated
crop is grown the previous year need
not be plowed before prepc:- ration Of
the seed bed is begun. An excellent
seed bed can be made in the spring

*OVER THERE"
GOT THE PIANO BACK OF
THE LINES, ALL RIGHT
Special Dispatch.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 1S.-The "Lost
Legion now has piano. The Ger
mans contributed it, but not willingly.
How the Americans got the piano
to their camp was told today fer the
first time by the man who helped get
it, Captain Frank H. Burr OF tie 3Sth
Canadian battalion.
1T was nearly year ago that we
went over the top at Vilmy Ridge"
Captain Burr explained 1--WE went
over in such a hurry that the Germans
didn't have time to do much damage
to their dugouts; just scootel OFF,
leaving their nicely furnished apart
ments for US.
"And they were some apartments,
too! That dugout where we found
the piano was the most wonderful
thing in it's line l ever saw. The Ger
mans worksd months OH it, They had
the idea they were fixing it up to stay
during the war. But we fooled them
there.
"This dugout was 40 feet below
surface, done in concrete and iron.
There were Is rooms, electric lighted,
telephone in every room, and the
furniture, stolen from French homes,
was the best. Each room was nicely
paneled, and the large room, where
the German officers probably loafed
and enjoyed themselves had among
other things this piano Our boys
wanted music. They hadn't had any
but the whistling of shells for long
time. So we decided to take the
piano back of the lines.
THAT was job alright. Forty of
us tried to hoist that piano up, but
the stairway was too narrow. The
Germans had put it down there before
they placed the concrete cover on the
dugout. Finally one OF us figured that
by taking out every fourth stair we
could get the blooming thing up. We
did. At night with but few shells
flying over our heads we carted the
piano back, and now the boys are
pounding those old keys to beat the
band. A little music makes it less
lonesome over there"

NORWAY ANXIOUS TO COME TO AN
AGREEMENT WITH AMERICA ON FOOD

Christiania, Norway, Feb. 19.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press).
How to come to an agreement with
America for the assumption of the i'm
port of supplies is the main topic for
discussion by the Norwegian press
and people. In the beginning the gov
eminent did not seem to take the
American question seriously. But at
ter the failure of the commission In
Washington to obtain export licenses,
the cabinet members realized the gra-
witty Of the situation. One by one the
members of the Norwegian delegation
to Washington returned until only Dr.
hansen remained.
The newspapers, except the official
cabinet organ, are becoming impa-
tient. They ask why Denmark has
obtained export licenses for differ
ent food stuffs, and say Sweden has
had greater success than Norway. So
far Germany has had great advant-
ages from the trade agreements with
Norway.
BY the agreement with Great B'rit-
ain of August, 1916, Norway could
send fifteen per cent of her fish to
Germany. But beside this Germany
bought enormous quantities of canned
fish, SO that, it is said, the total
amounted to more than thirty per-
cent. It was asserted at session of
the Storthing that the total export
of fish to Germany from August, 1914,
to August 1917, was 100000 tons. Be-
fore the war the average export to
Germany was $4,000 tons, or about %
per cent of the whole export of fish
from the country. On the other hand
the Germans have not been able to
keep their contract to furnish fishing
tackle and motor oil as compensation
for the fish.
One leading paper asks how long
Norway is to continue supplying IA
yors to Germany while the Germans
sink Norwegian ships and kill ,NorWe
gian sailors. And, it inquired, what
does Norway get in return for the ma
terial for manufacturing guns, projec-
tiles and ammunition which she is
supplying to Germany
The Shipping Gazette said editorial
ly recently that the Norwegian for
eign minister is exerting himself to
increase the export of raw materials
for manufacturing munitions, and cit
ed that as the reason why the United
States did not send Christmas ship
to Norway, as to Denmark. Other
papers, notably the Social Democraten
challenged the foreign minister to
deny the statement, but he remained
silent.
