TREAT YOUR GRAIN FOR SMUT

The practice of treating grain
for smut in this state is quite general,
and it certainly is a paying proposition
even when there is no smut. Pref. Boil
ley of the Agricultural College has
found that treating increases the
yield 2 or more bushels whether there
is smut or not. Often a yield may not
seem to be afflicted with smut but up
on close observation it may prove to
be badly infested, in fact as high as
18 per cent has been found in fields
thought to be clean.
The treating consists of dipping the
grain in solution of pound For
ma'dehyde to 40 gallons of water, be-
ing sure that each kernal is moistened.
The kernals naturally swell somewhat,
so it is a good idea to run the drill
over pe:ec of hard ground and regu-
late it to seed the desired amount-C.

LIGHT ON STANDPIPE

The City Council Of this city passed
q resolution at their n,eeting last
week authorizing a light to be placed
on ton ef the water tower and M. Q
Woodward was assigned the task Of
wiring and that it was some
Job, we will all agree. The tank is
13O feet in the air and farmers coming
to town tell us that the light is vis-
sible for q good many miles out. Fri
day night was the first the light was
used and q farmer in town Saturday
rero oarked that q very bright star was
visible ii the east the night before, the
star proved to be the light on the
standpipe. The action of the city
Council in this matter is cornnendable
as the light will prove . great benefit

CORN IN SPITE
OF GRASSHOPPERS
One Mans Experience

AS it seems likely that we are to
have the grasshopper pest with us
again this year the writer would sug-
gest that each farmer plant large
field of corn, and not be compelled to
buy feed again next winter.
We planted eighty acres last season
and had fine crop in spite Of the
drought, and the grasshoppers did lit
tie or no damage to it. In fact they did
not affect the yield enough to worry
about. Corn will grow here and make
a fair crop in the dryest and hottest
season; in fact it does better in the
hot dry years than the wet cold ones
We have grown it for the past twelve
years and have found it so.
TO have the hest success with corn,
piow deep in fall or early spring. Har-
row first thing in spring or as soon
as plowed. AS soon as weeds begin
to show, (about May 10-15), disc sin
gle or double and let it stand until
about May 25th, then double disc, har-
row and drill as close together as pos
sible. Now for the why of all this:
First, if the ground is plowed in the
fall or early spring it warns up better
and the corn will not germinate we'll
in cold ground. Second, the cultivation
conserves moisture and kills most of
the weeds before the corn is planted
and this makes it much easier to keep
the corn free from weeds. Just before
the corn is up, harrow and kill the
weeds again and save more moisture.
Then as soon as the corn is up so that
the rows can be followed without COW
ering the corn, use the corn cultiva-
tor and repeat in about ten days or
two weeks according to weed and
weather conditions. Three civilizations
are usually necessary. If a good heavy
rain falls, cultivation as soon as
the ground is dry enough will help
hold the moisture. Corn ground so
handled will grow better wheat than
any summer-fallow. The stubble holds
TIE snow and gives moisture and the
stubhle also helps to keep the land
from blowing. Put in about twice as
much corn as you think you will need,
or more. Cattle pay better and are
sure if you have good feed.
Grow CORN and get the FEED
then get the CATTLE. :

The above rabbit picture was drawn
by Thelma Ness, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Ness of this city and was
awarded first prize, a sterling silver
ring, in the drawing contest conducted
by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Thel-
ma was one of about 1000 contestants
and that she won first prize is good
news to readers of The Courant.
To Elizabeth Forman Moline, who is
editor OF the Children's page of the
Pioneer Press, we are indebted for the

Bottineau will remember Mrs. Moline
as she attended school in this city as
a girl and will be pleased to hear that
she is at the head of this department.

Bring Them to the Penny Carniva

It takes place Friday evening, April
Is, at the High School and it will be
the big event of the year.
What must you bring? Two things,

If you furnish your own change it will

What can you see? We can't use
the whole front page so we can't
enumerate all the attractions, but we
can give just a sample. There is the
circus-three rings in one--the great

admiring world. You will want to see
the wild mamie eats 'em alive! and
the snake charmer-and the whirly-

happens at the big Penny Carnival. In
Katenjammer Castle you will forget

you at 8 o'clock-and you will hate to
go home when the fun stops at mid
night! Just one thing more! Watch
for the big street parade on Friday.

be readily understood and he will not
take step which would mean the
abandonment of his favorite child.
Nestos is cautious in outlining his
program to his friends. He claims to
favor the realization of the state mill
and elevator project, at least to the
extent of spending $2,O0O,O0O to give
it a trial. He wants to "amend" the
soldier bonus, the state bank and the
hail insurance acts. Just what changes
he has in mind no one seems to know.
Even more vague is his pronouncia-
mento about repeating the "vicious
laws"-But his hat is in the ring and
several "Ncstos for Governor clubs
have made their debut.

FEDERAL farm
LOANS CALLED OFF
OF RURAL CREDITS
BRING SUITS WHICH IMPER-
Ills ENTIRE SYSTEM

Washington-The farmers in the
drouth-ridden districts of North Dako-
ia and Montana are left in the lurch
by the decision of the farm loan board
to cease approving farm loans until
the United States Supreme Court has
decided the suit brought to test the
constitutionality of the clause in the
act which relieves from taxation the
farm loan bonds and bonds issued by
joint stock land banks. Thousands Of
farmers whose hope for planting a
crop this spring rested in their ability
to get money from the farm loan as
sociations will be helpless County and
state funds available for loans have
been generously dealt out in North
Dakota, but these funds are made
quate at best, as is the relief which
the Red Cross can give.
The Indifference of Congress to
Representative Sinclair's bill for fed
eral aid and the action of the farm
loan board is a deadly blow for the
drouth victims. The enemies of rur-
al credits legislation have scored a
point in their long battle to prevent
the federal government from interfer-
ing with the high interest rates
charged by the investment mortgage
bankers for their suit virtually stops
the machinery Of the farm loan bank
system. 5." 80,
See Work of Bankers
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
j. B. Norman, explained the situation
as follows: "If the supreme court
holds the act unconstitutional, the
whole system is destroyed. If it holds
only the tax-free clause void, then it
leaves the bonds, bearing only Az
per cent and which cannot be sold
below par, waiting in vain for pur
chasers in a market where industrial
bonds pay 6 and z per cent. AS these
~ per cent bonds cannot be sold, no
more money can be furnished for new
loans. While the government has no
direct knowledge that the attack on
the law is brought by the organized
investment mortgage bankers who
have for many years lobbied and
fought against every step toward help
full rural credits, it is the opinion Of
farm loan board officials that the
Smith suit was instigated by thss
Farm Mortgage Bankers association
at Chicago, and they are behind it now
with the motive of restoring their
own former control of the farm loan
business thruout the country
Since the law went into operation
there have been approved for North
Dakota 9 GIG loans for total of $780,
104, 800 of which 6,387 loans for to-
tai of $40, ,688,0o0 were actually closed
to February 2Sth, 1920. There are
S4S1 900 worth of approved loans still
to be met by cash in North Dakota.
If the Supreme court fails to uphold
the farm loan act in it's entirety. there
will be no more money until congress
shall have passed new law-which
may be delayed for year.
