man Mr.. Meurling writes: you,
dear readers, are the only ones
competent to judge of my ability
as an editor. Therefor, | leave
the verdict to you"--in which
he, according to another Swedish
paper, does eminently right.
Of late the daily and periodi-
cal press in this country have
been taking up the old hue and
cry: Down with the foreign Ian
guages! At first, this was aimed
exclusively at German, now it
includes Danish, Swedish, and
Norwegian as we'll as all the rest
of the languages spoken by loyal
and patriotic Americans of for
eign descent. Here and there
vigorous protests have been ut
tered, but seemingly Of little
avail. 1t appears to be impos-
sible for a certain narrowminded
class of native Americans who
pride themselves upon being the
only True-Blue Ones, to consider
foreigners anything but inferior
creatures who are in this coun-
try more or less for the sake of
charity. Fortunately, those who
direct the currents of thought
and action in the United States
today, do not share this extreme
ly foolish viewpoint, and it is
possible now to see signs of re-
action on the part of the original
accusers who are morally and in
tellectually identified with the
ancient Know Nothing party.
The chapter in American history
describing the importance of the
foreigners contribution to
American civilization has not
yet been written. When the
time comes to write it, it will be
by far the largest part of the
work.

MINNESOTA RECRUITING
DISTRICT

The y. S. Army recruiting
forces in the Minnesota District
are bending every effort to in
crease Uncle Sans fighting
forces by at least 900 men this
month. Present indications are
that success will crown their ef-
forts, as over 700 applicants
had applied for enlistment
up to and including the %
Of March. The 900 figure as
fixed by Major John d. Yost, Re-
cruiting Officer Of the District,
if attained will make March the

Rev. A. w. Lundin, pastor of

Hans C. Hansen, a San Fran

from a trip to his old country,
was held up, he says, by four
professional gamblers at New
York hotel last week. Judging
from his story he was relieved of
about $1,000 in cash and trav-

staunchly affirms that he is by
no means a gambler, but that he
likes quiet game of whist once
in a great while, and believing
that his new acquaintances
would accommodate him in that
respect, he responded to their
invitation to join them in hotel
room. Three hours later the
Frisco Dane left the hotel with

self to District Attorney Swami
who listened sympathetically to
the mans tale of woe. He could
offer Mr.. Hansen nothing but
his condolences.
The great Norwegian play
wright, Henrik Ibsen's drama,
The Wild Duck, was given last
week by the Jewish actress,
Mile Nazimova, at a New York
theater. On this occasion critics
took pains to point out that an
Ibsen revival is just about due.
1t seems that Ibsen has never
been deeply appreciated in New
York because the necessary ele-
ment of understanding was lack
ing but his plays have been
given sporadically. Typical of
the attitude of theater managers
is the fact that only few years
ago the New Theater in New
| York staged the last act of Ib-
sens sombre drama, Brand, as a,
curtain opener to a Viennese
musical comedy Mile. Nazimo-
va intends to play Ibsen for the
rest Of the season.

FILLING CORN To
INCREASE YIELDS
Better Methods of Cultivatinu
Crop Are Urged for Produc-
ing More Per Acre.
GENERAL PLAN is OUTLINED
In Some Sections Employment of Fer

of Plant Food Is of Greatest
Importance.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The use of more efficient nipple.
ments will increase total production,
not only by increasing acreage, but
also by increasing acre yields.
Yields per acre may be increased
by better methods of tilling the
ground and better methods of cultivat-
Ing the crop. Any general advice as
to better methods of tillage must be
modified to meet specific conditions, as
methods found valuable In some local
tiles may be Of less value or even detri-
mental In other localities. AS general
advice the following suggestions are
valuable and properly applied will lead
to increased acre yields.
Land is plowed in order to loosen 1t
and enable water to enter in greater
quantity, be absorbed to greater depth,
and remain longer in the soil.
A deep seed bed we'll supplied with
soil moisture and we'll drained makes
big corn yield possible, whether the
summer proves "too dry" or "too wet"
If not well plowed, some lands are
so 1mpervious that during several
weeks Of rainy weather they remain
dry below depth Of s or 10 inches.
When the soil is loose to sufficient
depth, corn roots penetrate in abun-
dance to depth Of 3 or 4 feet.
The growing Of clover and deep
rooted plants is profitably practiced
with most soils, and subsoiling is prof
itably practiced with some soils to In
crease their absorbing capacity
and to enable the corn roots to use the
soil to greater depths.
Large plows and plenty of power
Will facilitate this thorough prepara-.
ton Of the seed bed
On many heavy clay soils the Yield
of corn per acre depends largely upon
the thoroughness Of the blowing.
1t Is necessary to loosen all the land
and leave no large air spaces. To "cut
and cover" is not good practice.
Difference In Flowing.
A pasture field was plowed in alter
nate strips by two men, one a careful
plowman and the other a poor plow-
man. The poorly plowed strips showed
poorer corn all through the summer
and produced 20 bushels less corn to
the acre than the well-plowed strips.
The careless plowman allowed the
pillow to "cut and cover" In places,
leaving hard spots where the pillow
did not loosen the land and large air

tie, by far.
1t has been said that one acre In
every three of arabic land In this coun-
try is sour. Authorities claim that
lime is badly needed all over eastern
Ohio. Nearly every acre of land in
New England is in need of lining.
Also the land of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast plains. In Wisconsin, four-fifths
of the land in the state needs it badly.
Even In the heart of the corn belt, the
richest land in the world, farmers are
turning to the use of lime to grow big
crops of corn and wheat. Every acre
OF sour land In the country badly needs
and should have two to four tons OF
ground limestone applied.
Surely If every farm in the garden
spot OF America (the corn belt) finds
IL profitable to use lime, it will pay
men In less favored sections Of the
country.
NOT only is lime good in itself to
sweeten sour farms, but 1t helps ma
nure and fertilizer make good crops
by liberating other vital plant foods.

spaces where the overturned sod buck
led and did not come in contact with
the subsoil. Hills Of corn growing on
hard spots or over large air spaces
usually produce poorly.
The most successful corn growers
realize the Importance of thorough
early CIVILIZATIONS, which prevent any
check in the growth of the plants due
to weeds or crusted soil. From the
time of termination to the maturing
of the corn the farmer should see that
the plants are not subjected to any
preventable unfavorable conditions,
but are permitted to make steady
vigorous growth.
Use Weeders and Harrows.
Horse weeders and harrows should
be used when needed to break sur.
face crust, check insect depredations,
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn Is up or large enough to be
worked with other implements. For
the first cultivation after the plants
are up, and while they are very small.
narrow shovels that throw the soil
very little should be used, end tenders
usually are desirable to prevent the
covering Of the plants.
After the plants have reached a
height of or 3 feet, the soil, even
In the middle of the rows, should not
be cultivated deeper than inches.
and usually shallower cultivation
will prove better. For retaining soil
moisture loose soil mulch 9 or 3
inches In thickness should be main
tanned
Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down weeds and to
constantly loose soil mulch
until the corn has attained its growth.
To this end greater number of cult
will be necessary when rains
at intervals Of about a week cause the
surface soil to run together and crust

BIG PROBLEM FOR DAIRYMAN
Economical Production Of Milk Re.
quIres That All Improbable Cows
Be Eliminated.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The primitive cow freshened In the
spring and produced milk enough to
feed her calf until 1t could forage for
itself. The improved dairy COW of to-
day is a highly specialized animal that
freshens at the time desired and that
produces a large flow Of milk during
from to II months Of the year. How
to obtain this large production most
economically is the great problem of
every dairyman. Economical produc-
ton depends primarily on selection,
breeding and feeding, care and man
agement. 1t requires that all unprofit-
able cows be eliminated. that the re-
mainder be bred to flrst-class bulls,
and that each COW in the herd be fed
a properly balanced ration according
to production. 1t also requires the in,
telligent feeding, care. and manage
ment Of calves and young stock.

prepared by the United States Depart

With the present growing demand
for sugar in the United States, it is
important that every possible means
be employed on the farm to produce
substitutes. One way by which this
can be done is to keep bees and get
a crop Of honey, which can be used In
many ways in place Of sugar. The pro-
duction Of honey in this country can
be increased without great effort. Not
only should those who already keep
bees increase the number Of their COL
onies, but the industry should be ex-
tended In localities where beekeeping
has not been tried on a commercial
scale.
