FARMERS May
GET NEEDED HELP
DIR. WORST LAUNCHES CAM
PAIGN TO STOP MOVEMENT
FROM DRY SECTIONS

An active campaign will be waged
by DR.. John H. Worst, commissioner
Of immigration, to keep the farmers
in the drouth stricken section in the
state. Among steps that will be TAX
en- to this end by the immigration COM
missioner will be efforts to obtain help
for needy farmers; efforts to induce
banks to extend credit for the intro
duction of livestock wherever it can
be done with reasonable degree of
safety; the distribution of informa-
tion in the drouth districts upon the
most profitable methods of farming in
these sections and the best ways of
resisting the drouth.
DR.. Worst is acting on the theory
that it is far better to keep the farm
ers we have in the western part of
the state than to see them leave and
be replaced by newcomers. An exo-
dus from the state at this time in the
opinion Of the immigration commits
sioner, would advertise the state in
the worst kind of way.
Among the methods already advo-
Gated by DIR. Worst to fight drouth and
sent out to the farmers, the following
are few:
Deep fall plowing for the conserva-
tion Of winter moisture.
Selection of crops known for their
drouth resisting powers.
Diversified farming instead of de-
pendence on wheat.
Growth of more corn.
The use Of manure and much culti-
walton.
Raising Of more livestock.
By following these rules, DR.. Worst
says, the drouth section will be turn
ed into productive area beyond
doubt.
In recent statement the commits
sioner of immigration argued at some
length against the farmers leaving
the drouth sections.
The following are some facts he
pointed out:
Every new section has been reclaim
ed and made productive by persistent
effort. Undoubtedly this will be true
of North Dakota.
This section Of the state has been
| suffering from drouth for number
of years. Undoubtedly it is nearing
the end of drouth cycle. A moist
cycle is due to begin soon and un-
doubtedly those farmers who hold out
till it comes will reap a rich reward.
High land values are travelling in
North Dakota from east to west and
the western farmers who stick will pro
fit by them in the not distant future.

MAKE CASTINGS LAST LONGER

Securing additional wear from worn
out autommobile castings should be Of
interest to all auto owners. Max Nor

ty, North Dakota states that he has
found that BY putting one worn out
casing over another, he has secured
quite little additional mileage. I He
states that the air must BE removed
from tube and tire removed before the
other casing Is put over Il. AT first

bouncing It up and down on the ground

castings are then put On the rim with
the under casing being used as the
clincher. MI. Morgan has driven 1900

that some dust has worked 81 be-
tween the two casings forming ! small

CHAS BEEVERS WINS PRIZES
!. AT so. ST. PAUL SHOW

Whoever is Of the opinion that Bot
tineau county does not raise the best
sheep in North Dakota, regardless of
whether they are fed on Russian
Thistle or not, is mistaken. To prove
this Chas. Beevers entered $50 sheep
in the sheep show at So. St. Paul last
week and captured first prize for 100
fat sheep, first prize for so fat weth-
ers and Grand Champion lamb. This
certainly speaks we'll for Bottineau
county, especially when it is consid-
cred that there has been very little
feed in this neighborhood this year.

completed courses at both these school
Of commercial subjects. She has had
experience in the high schools Of Iron

assembly exercises Tuesday morning,
Miss Schmidt was introduced to the
school and in her words of greeting
she outlined her ambitions for the up

tion in the office of the County Audi

Students are enrolling daily and the
correspondence indicates that the
school will continue to grow during
the weeks Of the immediate future.
Students often write to inquire what
day or date would be best to enter.
In the commercial department partic-
ularly, student can enter at any time
altho it is better to start with the
group at the beginning of the year as
there is considerable amount of class
work providing group instruction. But
the best dates in all departments is
the earliest dates possible. In the
normal or college courses, student
entering late in the term will take
fewer subjects until he catches up.
Sometimes entrants seem to think
there is some particular virtue about
Monday as day for beginning. Mon
day is no better than Friday; in fact,
Friday is better than Monday if it is
the Friday preceding the Monday. The
best time to begin is the earliest mo-
ment. " .

FARMING BY COUNTY
AGENT C.. B. AAMODT
Beware of Sow Thistle


Reports have come in that Botti-
neau county farmers are shipping or
intending to ship straw into the county
from the Red River valley. This IS
mighty risky business. Undoubtedly
there is shortage of straw in the
county, but the valley is so badly. in
Tested with Sow Thistle that bringing
in straw from there, especially the
northern part, is a thing to be avoid
ed at any cost. Some parts Of the
valley are as yet free from this weed,
butAevertheless too much care can not
be exercised in preventing it from
gaining foothold III this county, Be
fore shipping in any straw be sure
that it is free from Sow Thistle and
Quack Grass. a ~
