the village Of Mizpah, big buck
deer deliberately walked up to the
salesman to be shot.
Donaldson, who enjoyed his first
big game hunt this year, went to
Mizpah a few days ago, and being
new at the game, asked number of
veteran hunters near the hotel, where
he might be able to get a deer. One
of the hunters, acting as spokesman
for the crowd, directed him to pas
ture short distance from the hotel
and wholly within sight Of the WILL
age, and told him to go down there
and sit on a stump and he would soon
see a deer. The fellow went down to
the pasture, hunted out stump, and
sat down. He stayed there for sew
eral hours, and finally a big deer
walked within range and was shot.
Donaldson, after shooting the deer,
dragged it to the hotel and displayed
his quarry to the crest-fallen hunters,
who a few hours previous had
framed" the joke on him. Veteran
hunters of Mizpah say that no deer
have been seen within the village
limits for several years.

Rustad Returning to Wheaton

Wheaton Gazette-Reporter:- Sen
ator Edward Rustad is now in Whea-
ton and is being greeted by his many
friends and former constituents who
are very much pleased with the pros
poets that the Rustad family may
again make their home in Wheaton.
Last summer Mr.. Rustad left here
after closing out his business inter
ests here and went to Eugene, Ore
gon, taking his family with him.
The various members of the family
have not been impressed with the
west and Mr.. Rustad has rented a
home for the winter in Minneapolis,
and form his conversation carried the
idea that they would have come direct
to Wheaton, had it been possible to
secure a house.

the First National Bank of Glendive
returned the checks marked mo ac-
count" that the takers discovered
that instead of the printed figures
"191" which ordinarily adorn the
righthand corner of the usual bank
check, these "bills of exchange" as
the supreme court of North Dakota
has termed post dated checks, bore
the numerals 1892" which when
filled in by the maker of the check
read 1929"
Mr.. Medallion gave two of these
checks for $50, one for $35 and an
other for $45, making his combined
haul $3.50, as collateral for which
Bismarck merchants and bankers
hold checks payable Nov. 6, 1929.
The police are looking for Mr.. Nc
Nation, but there has been raised a
legal question as to whether he can
be prosecuted in view of the supreme
courts recent decision holding post
dated checks to be bills of exchange,
payable at future date, and first
class collateral as security for loans.

50 as to secure rapid seed germina-
tion we must have phosphorus IN
some form. Our soils are becoming
deficient In 1t. We must begin to ap-
ply some form Of phosphorus fertiiizer.
It Is usually advisable to use acid
phosphate in order to secure quick
er returns over rock phosphate IN the
treatment OF sandy soils.
In order to explain best the meth
cd OF soil management TO be used
let us use concrete example. Sup
pose on farm a very sandy field
on which the farmer has been un-
successful in growing corn and oats.
The field Is in oats this year SO we
will consider the question from that
standpoint.
AS soon as the oats are harvested
and stacked, p]ow the field and then
apply the needed amount OF ground
limestone discing 1t in. Next apply 25O
to 800 lbs. OF acid phosphate per acre.
This. is best done by the use Of a
limestone spreader or preferably
drill with q fertilizer attachment or
il these are not available by broad
casting it. In September SOW rye IN
combination with timothy Sow clover

ing it IN. Rye is the one grain crop
which possesses the ability OF good
growth on sandy soil. The next sum
mer after cutting the rye let the Glow.
er stay on until it gets good growth
and then plow it under. Here the
clover is being used as green man
ure crop. Here the clover IS one tnird
Of it's nitrogen from the soil and two
thirds from the air by pl0wing un-
der the crop Of 1t we are returning
a great amount Of nitgrogen TO the
soil. This obtaining nitrogen from the
air is accomplished by the growth OF
nitrogen fixing bacteria which grow
ON the roots Of the clover. Il the
soil is very sandy use two crops
Of rye and clover before going into
alfalfa.
ON very poor soils one may be trouD-
led by a very poor stand Of clover.
This may be helped TO 9 great extent
BY cutting the rye in the dough stage.
This Of course means q great loss IN
the value Of the rye crop but may have
to be resorted to in very urgent cas-
es where stands OF clover can be Sc
cured no other way.

der the clover crop seed the field 70
