STATE MILL AT DRAKE
IN 3O.DAY TEST RUN

The peoples flour mill at Drake,
N. D., ground it's first flour as a public
institution August %, when it started
on a 30 days run for the purpose Of
ascertaining just what the mill could
produce In profits under old conditions
and prices. The two millers who op-
Grated the mill for the former owners
have been retained in order to make
the test thorough.
"This thirty days. test is the first Of
a series Of experiments designed to
collect information and experience
upon which may be based the best
service that may be rendered to the
public by institutions Of this kind"
said Manager .McGovern of the Mill
and Elevator association.
ITO know just what the mill can do
under ordinary conditions in produc-
ing profits, Is to possess the best in
formation obtainable upon which to
base future experiments" said MI.
McGovern.
The mill is running night and day
and L. turning out '126 barrels Of flour
per day. This -four is Of very fine
quality and is in great demand in tho
neighborhood Of the mill. Wheat tor

This season promises to be one Of
North Dakota's best corn crop years.
Mr.. 81. L. Walster, Of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, urges the
early picking Of plenty Of seed corr
by every farmer who appreciates the
value Of good seed. He should have
enough selected for two o. three years.
He also advises selecting that which
has matured we'll an this will be an
evidence that 1t will mature another
year. He would also have 1t selected
from the kind of stalks that one pre-.
fers to grow. n one wants q corr to
be handled with a corn binder, thei,
only those ears should be selected
which are borne high enough on the
stalk to allow cutting by the binder. Il
1t IL to be hogged OF, n may select
ear that grow nearer the ground.
Az soon as the cor IL selected from
the field It should be hung up to cure
as tho corn Is full Of moisture. The
sooner the moisture IL removed the
better the corn will be for seed,

meant that nearly seven quarts Of

Sell In Big Lots.
MI. Haw calls attention to the fact
that these sheep men do not care to
sell a carload or two but want to sell
at one time a class Of sheep that have
been selected out from a band, and
that these lots usually run up to three
or four carloads, SO that the buyer
should go prepared to buy at least
1000 head. If some individuals wish
a smaller number, several farmers
should get together SO that they can
handle the number Of sheep that the
sheep men will have for sale in one
lot. he also advises that the buyer
should be accompanied by someone
who is familiar with mounting and
sorting sheep in the west and that this
is particularly true in the purchase of
ewes as one is very apt to get sheep
with poor mouths or spoiled bags
among this older class Of sheep unless
they are mouthed and bagged by an
experienced sheep man.
The following points are headquar-
ters to the sheep territory: Billings,

Corn Is one Of the important crops
IN North Dakota farming. It not only
produces a crop Of forage and Of
tratn but leaves the land in almost an
ideal condition for the crop that fol
lows. When 1t is given good cultiva-
Hon the land is left clean and moist.
Corn Is also better able to Withstand
droughty weather than many other
crops, SO that It is one Of the crops

BIG BARGAINS IN
MONTANA SHEEP
North Dakota Farmers Can Get
Ewes at Low Price in
Drouth Section.

The shortage Of feed in Montana Is
making it necessary for sheep men to
sell many sheep. This is an opportun-
ity for the North Dakota farmer with
plenty Of feed. Mr.. j. w. Haw Of the
extension division Of the North Dakota
Agricultural college has been in Mon
tana and Investigated the situation.
He states that the sheep men who are
compelled to sell are, OF course, plan
ming on retaining the class Of sheep
which IS most valuable to them,
namely, the two, three and four year
old ewes SO that sheep Of this age are
not only difficult to purchase but are
offered for sale at such a high price
that the ACCESSIBILITY Of purchase Is
questionable. The sheep men are,
however, offering for sale at reason
able prices, compared to the market
price, broken mouthed ewes, yearling
ewes to some extent, yearling and
two year old wethers, and wether
lambs. x1
The broken mouthed ewes in good
flesh are selling from % to S. a head.

udders, which for the most parts are
five and six years old, can be pur-
chased for about ST. q head. Two year

n. D. PLAN OF
GRADING wins
Farmers Congressman Obtain
Better Prices for Low
Grades of Wheat.

The North Dakota plan Of grading
wheat on the basis Of it's actual milling
value won a partial victory last week
when Julius M. Barnes, director of the
United States Grain corporation raised
the valuation Of the lower grades con-
siderably. This action followed meet
ings Of the farmers in North Dakota to
this end and the sending Of farmers
representatives to New York, includ.
ing the three North Dakota congress.
men.
The action Of Director Barnes Ia q
tribute to the North Dakota plan Of
grading grain and is a considerable
change from the federal system Of
grading. It was made necessary, in
view Of the agreement of the govern
ment with the farmers, by the large
amount Of 'shrunken wheat in this
years crop on account Of the wide.
spread occurrence Of rust. Had the
federal grades continued the grain
dealers would have been able to prac-
'tically set aside the intent Of the gov
eminent to insure the farmers q good
price for their wheat as protection for
the unusual amount Of wheat grown
this year. M.
Makes Flour Test. !
Facts were adduced at the meetings
Of the farmers proving that the rust
shriveled wheat makes practically a.
good -four as the highest grades when
1t is properly mixed with other grades.
Following the North Dakota law, this
wheat would bring practically a. high
price az the better federal grades. At
the Hillsboro meeting Manager Axtell
Of the farmers cooperative flour min
at Argus declared that he had tested
this lighter wheat and that It makes
as good flour as the heavier grades.
That MI. Barnes must have been
convinced by the representatives Of
the farmers that the lower grades
have a higher milling value than the
present prices would indicate IL evt4
