careful that you don't clog your seed
ing s7outs.
The formaldehyde treatment Of the
seed frequently increases the yield
more than would be naturally expect
ed from simply replacing the smutted
heads with sound ones. A substantial
gain is made from the use of formal
dehyde. Increases Of over four bush
els per acre have been found in spring
wheat in which only little over one
and one-half bushels were actually de-
stroyed by smut. This rs probably
due to the fact that the grain is af-
fected by other seed-borne parasites
than smut and scab and which are as
effectually checked by the treatment

RELATIVES OF JOS.
REICHERT WOULD
BREAK HIS WILL
Prosperous Young Farmer Leaves
$4,000 Estate 10 Miss Mary
Keller, Darlington Milliner,
Whom He Was to Have
n Wed in April

Heirs of the late Joseph Reichert,
wealthy young North Prairie farmer,
who passed away in this city last week
following the, flu, have engaged Nc
Gee & Goss, attorneys, to start an
action setting aside the will. which
leaves all of his real estate comprising
a valuable farm, five miles northwest
Of Minot to Miss Mary Keller, to
whom he was to have been married
in April. The value of the property
is estimated at approximately $4,000.
If the will stands, the relatives will
receive only the personal property.
1t appears that the young made
two wills shortly before his death.
One of them was made on Monday
before he died, prior to the arrival of
Miss Keller, who is a milliner at Car
rington, N. D. After the arrival of
the young woman, a second will was
executed, the latter one but few
hours before the death of the young
man. In the first will, Miss Keller is
said to have been remembered only
to the extent of 5000. Both wills
were executed by Attorney J. j. Coyle
and the last one was filed shortly
after Mr.. Reichert's death.
Miss Keller's parents reside near
,Carpio, N D.

EARLY SOWING

Spring wheat should be sOwn in the
spring as soon az the seed bed can be
properly prepared. termination takes
place in the ground when the tempera-
ture is about AZ to 80 degrees. The acre
age quantity OF seed per acre sown is
about IN bushels. Sometimes little
less and sometimes a little more will
be better. Your own experience will
tell you how much. Drilling Is better
than broadcasting. The use of the cor
rugated roller is recommended. The
seed usually should be sown about two
to three inches deep. The important
thing is to get it into the soil sufficient
ly moist to insure termination. In
heavy wet soil one or two inches will
be deep enough.

COLORED MAN
SHOOTS JACKIE"
FORD, A WENCH
Woman Painfully Wounded - Negro
Sheots at Officer Reed and Barely
Escaped Being Shot Himself

f. Boswell, a cOlOred man, shot and
painfully wounded "Jackie" Ford, q
notorious colored wench at the home
Of Rena- Manning, colored woman
living in the western part of the city
at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and at
tempted to kill Officer John E. Reed,
barely missing him with shot from
wicked AS automatic Colts revolver.
Reed fired a shot at Boswell, the bull
let cutting two holes thru the negroes
cap. After Reed had fired four or
FIVE shots into the Peck Hayes shack
where Boswell took refuge, the negro
was induced to give himself up.
Boswell is in the city Jail. States
Attorney Herigstad has filed Two
charges against Boswell, for assault
with deadly weapon with intent to
kill. If found guilty, Boswell may
sserve from one to ten years.
The Ford woman who has been in
police court a score Of times, returned
to Minot Wednesday afternoon and
was arrested on an old charge Of sell
ing liquor. She furnished bail. Boswell,
who is former husband of the wench,
accompanied her to Minot. The
couple were stopping at the Rena
Manning shack and it is believed that
Boswell was under the influence of
Snow. Just what the row was
about is not known as Boswell refuses
to talk. He shot the Ford woman,
the bullet passing thru one Of her
breasts. She ran from the shack and
fell but crawled on her hands and
knees to the home of Oser Webb. A
doctor was called and she was taken
to local hospital where the surgeon
pronounced her case not serious.
After. the shooting negfess named
Tupker phoned the police station.
CID Lano and Officer sReed went to
the Manning shack and saw Boswell
run out. Reed saw the man and
says he would have shot him dead, but
was not certain that Boswell was the
man wanted. Boswell lodged around
several shacks, finally running into
the home Of Peck Hayes. Lano
guarded the back door and Reed open
ed the front door. The room was
dark and Boswell hid behind parti-
ton. sHe fred at Reed, the bullet
missing his head by fraction of an
inch. Reed got . glimpse Of the man
and. fired at his head, the bullet plow-
ing two holes thru the negroes cap.
Reed fired several shafts into the build
ing which must have come uncon-
Sfortably close to the negro. He re-
fused to come out, however, fearing
that he would be killed and in this
he used excellent judgment, for the
officers would have shot him the min

and bring Boswell out. Reed gave

Very fittingly Mr.. Dierdorff, who

There are three serious diseases ::
Smut, scab and rust. Rust cannot be
prevented by seed treatment. The
other two can. Damage from rust can
be partially avoided by selecting a
good quality Of Marquis seed and by
early seeding In order to get an early
maturity.
Blow out with a tanning mill as
many of the smut balls as possible or
remove them from the grain by other
means. There are number Of ways
Of treating the seed with Tornado
hyde. Perhaps the simplest and most
successful method is to mix one pound
of common commercial fOrmaldehyde
In forty gallons Of water. Provide two
tubs or half barrels; raise one of them
on box higher than the other, which
may be on the ground. Fiji the top tub
about half full Of the solution, then
pour the wheat in loose. Stir 1t around
until 1t is all thoroughly wet and the
smut balls, trash, shriveled Kernels
and many weed seeds will float. Skim
OF the floating stuff and destroy 1t by
grinding it and feeding it to chickens
after It IL dry. Don't feed it whole be-
cause many weed seeds, being indfgest-
lble, will find their way back to the
fields.
After skimming take short piece Of
hose, fill 1t in the top tub and quickly
throw one end fOf it over into the other
tub. This will act as a siphon and
draw off the solution. When drained
dump the moist seed from the upper
