GILBERT HAS AGENCY FOR
FARM LIGHTING PLANT

R. M. Gilbert, Of the Warren Garage,
has secured the agency for the cele-
brated Lally Light farm lighting and
power plant. This is claimed to be the
most practical and successful farm
lighting systems in existence and many
years of successful operation on num-
erous farms is proof Of it's efficiency.
Electric lights have been considered as
luxuries on the farm in the past, but
they have now become necessity and
no modern farm home is complete with
out them. The rapid development and
improvements in farm lighting systems
during the past few years, now enables
the farmer to have in his home all the
cOnveniences of the dweller In the city.
Besides furnishing electricity TOR light
ing purposes, these lighting plants will
also furnish current for, the operation
Of light machinery, such as washing and
sewing machines, the cream separator,
the milking machine, etc, thus wing
much manual labor in homes where
they are installed. .,lss IT.. !,

NJ. E. Church Has
. Postponed Building

The building of the new Methodist
church has been held up on account of
the critical financial situation. Only
one bid was received for the work and
It was almost twice what the architect
planned that it should be. Since it
seemed to the Official Board quite evil
dent that no bid would be received that
could be accepted, it was voted to post
pone building for the present, but to
build as soon as conditions settled and
they could get a reasonable bid on the
work. It was also decided that since
they cannot build, and the old church is
altogether inadequate for the work,
that all services for the future, until
the new church is built, be held in the
Opera House. Next Sunday, and there
after, the Methodists will find them
selves located at. the Strand for all
their services. * g =. a

season was held in Stranduuist last
Tuesday, April 9th. This clinic was
well attended considering the condition

detrimental to general good health.

STARTED
5 ZEN TWENTY FIELDS.
Phosphate Applied to Determine Effect
Of Treatment on Wheat. E &

The Pennington County Farm Blu
reau in cooperation with the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, through the divisions
of soils and extension. is starting ex-
detrimental plots on twenty fields along
the Elwell road. On each field two
plots of One-haf acre each are laid out
and acid phosphate applied. The yields
of wheat on the treated and untreated
plots will be determined and reported
later.
The purpose Of the experiments is to
find out whether acid phosphate will in
crease the yield per acre. In 1918
similar experiments on good soil in
Stevens county showed that an applica-
ton of acid phosphate at:the rate OF
two hundred pounds per acre gave an
increase in yield of wheat on unman-
ured land of two to- ten and a half
bushels per acre, as, reported in Special
Bulletin No. 81. .-t
In 1918 at Golden Valley, on the
peat experimental tract, acid phosphate
caused very marked increases in Yields
in case of nearly all crops. In 1919 the
crops at Golden Valley showed the same
effect until destroyed by high water.
A large number of demonstration plots
were started last year on peat soils OF
farmers in the northwestern counties
and the crops on almost all OF these
showed that the phosphate was very
beneficial.
A new form of acid phosphate is ex-
pected to be placed on the market some
time this summer The new form will
carry 4S per cent of available plant food
instead of 16 per cent, the amount car
ried by the common acid phosphate.
One ton of this new triple super-phos-
plate will treat as much land as three
tons of the old and the price, while
more per ton, will undoubtedly be much
less per pound of plant food, than in the
case of the regular 16 per cent acid
nhospha e.-Thief River Falls Times.

of Boyd B. Trousdale, who took the
part, of "Kid Burns,' and his acting
with it's touches Of comedy, kept the

entire evening and added greatly to the
success Of the performance.

them. The singing and dancing by the
individual members and by the choruses
brought forth hearty applause at both
performances. Many comments were
