SEED FIELD and
CROP ROTATION

In order to improve our cereal
cropping and our flax cropping am
convinced that our leading farmers,
indeed, every farmer who cares for
getting the best yield must think of
raising his own seed. / recommend
that we start this spring.
1. Start a seed plot for each kind
Of crop you intend to improve.
2. Get the best available seed. Of
each kind.
8. Select an erea in part Of your
farm that is protected from cattle,
high winds, etc.
4. Arrange the drainage so that
the surface drainage is good enough
to carry off all water following heavy
rains.
5. Select a PARTON of land where
there can be no volunteer crop.
6. Lay out this seed field so that it
will be big enough to have all your
seed plots together. This saves work
in blowing, narrowing, seeding and
harvesting. Number the plots 1, 2,
8, 4, etc. - - ,.s :,
. 7. Make a book record of all of the
plots and crops by name and number
for future reference in coming years.
8. Next year shift the crop so that
you will have a good rotation. This
rotation should be >of such nature that,
if wheat volunteers it will not get
into your wheat. If flax volunteers it
will not get into your flax. This kind
Of rotation helps you fight diseases,
helps you fight weeds, helps you learn
what the best rotation would be on
your farm for your regular crop.

For the past year or more the
Times-Record, during the war, has
been receiving the daily telegraph re-
ports and the business men generally
have got behind US in an endeavor to
make the proposition pay. The war is
now over and the news received over
the wire is of very little interest to
us or to others, so that we have de-
cided to discontinue this branch of the
news service the middle of this month.
Those Of our business men who have
been running cards to help pay for

like to have as many continue to adj
vertise as possible. Every small ad

City daily needs all the advertising

TEST SEED CORN

Seed corn should always be tested
before planting, and even if the corn
was tested in the winter the germin-
alton Of corn is often poorer in the
spring than in the winter. Planting
corn with poor termination results in
doing lot of work for nothing, as the
whole field must be gone over even if
there is only a half stand. If by
test the termination has been found
poor, a pretty good stand could be Sc
cured by thicker planting, or by Sc.
curing seed corn Of good germina-
ton.

A c. Townley has been Industrious
~ working over time calling Attorney
General LANCER, Kositzky and others
who do not agree with his legislative
program, traitors. This is beginning
to pail on the attorney general who
has issued a signed statement saying
that if Mr.. Townley or any of the
league leaders can prove that he has
been in any way a traitor to the farm
ers of the state he will Immediately
resign his Office. He further states
that he will let Judge C. F. Amidon
decide whether he is traitor or not.
Mr.. LANCER makes no bones about
telling the big boss where to head in
and he evidently cannot be bullied or
bulldozed by Townley or his kept
press. The people of North Dakota
we believe would much rather trust
their affairs to man of Langer's
stamp than to Townley and his bunch
of hirelings who have not a dollars
worth of interest in the state only so
far as they can extract good money
from the farmers. They pay no taxes
here but they want to tell the rest of
US who do how to run the state.

The state council Of defense, pleas

terday and is no longer a tower of
strength and expense to the people of
the state. It's death and obsequies
were witnessed by very few persons
and very few tears were shed. There
were no flowers. This is the institu-
ton headed by our governor which un-
dertook year ago to censor the state
press because it would not stand for
disloyalty and l. w. Wism., and which
august body tried to put the Mandan
paper out of business because it would
not keep still about league organizers
spreading the doctrine of disloyalty
through the state while the country
was at war. The demise of this or.
ganization will not be regretted by
the people generally and so far as we
know there will be no movement ia
erect monument to perpetuate the
memory of this organization.

for education and wealth may cx-
ceed those Of his employe, the
greater is the responsibility Of the
employer to take the lead in the de-
velopment Of this spirit Of friend
ship. Some may say that the en-
ploye would rebuff this spirit or at
least fail to appreciate it or atti-
butte it to wrong motives. Even if
this were so, it would not lessen the
responsibility of the employer 10
continue the work. A basis of friend
ship must be found or created. It
is due to humanity that this should
be done, and our civilization cannot
stand unless it be done.
On the other hand, the employer
has right to say exactly who shall
be employed in his plant. He has
right to say that it shall be open to
independent as well as union labor,
and that in his plant there shall be
no antagonism on the part of either.
If a union man will not work along
side of an independent man, then let
him quit his job; that. is his right
unless in public service work, but
no man has a right to Say another
man shall not work.
The man who by ihr,nls OF by
brutality prevents another man from
working is at heart full of hatred,
and hatred finally fruits into MUIR
der or the desire to murder. The cry
of "scab" should be an honor, be-
cause il designates a man who re-
fuses to have the chains of slavery
forged by any union around his
brain and his soul, as well as around
his body. The non-union man is in
deed the Independent man; the union
man has bartered away his free
dom and his right to think and act
for himself, for less than a mess
of pottage. If labor unions were
wisely managed the case would be
entirely different. If they had made
efficiency and faithfulness require
menis for membership they would
have won the commentator of the
public and employers alike. Unfor-
tunately, for themselves and for the
country, they have permitted radi-
Gals to get control of many unions
