The Work for Boys

Measured by theoretical advantages by practical
benefits, this work among the boys is most commend
able unquestionably it is much easier to make good
citizen than it Is to reform criminal and it costs
much less to finance all the various forms of boys work
than costs to support reform schools and prisons and
all the indirect consequences of vice and crime.
The best thing about these modern activities for
the boys and among the boys that they arc sound and
scientific. All of their purpose is along the line of
developing the good that in the boys instead of fore

victon is firm in the minds of everyone that law and

Metal mining is business that requires stable con-

merchant is by weeks, and that of the farmer by
months; but the metal miner must wait for years for
the return of his investment, when most

This exceptional need of stability is the why
the business of metal mining has been affected

winters sufficiently mild to allow
successful winter wheat culture.
Winter temperatures in North Dako-
ia, however, generally are too low to
allow winter wheat to survive. Dry
autumns may prevent termination
dry winters and springs in the west
ern part of the state may induce kill
ing, and alternate freezing and thaw-
ing in the spring may work serious in
jury to the wheat.
Experiments at Fargo, 1angdon,
and Edgeley, for the eastern half of
the state, show winter wheat to be
almost uniformity failure, Mr.. Wal
dron says. Experiments at Williston
and Dickinson, for western North Da-
kota, are more favorable for winter
wheat, but comparative yields at
these two places show winter wheat
to be only about half as productive as
spring wheat.
Trials were made for several years
on the Demonstration farms distri.
buted over the state. Only 25 pei
cent of the 50 fields planted were
successful and in many of these cases
yields were lower than those secured
from spring wheat.

The most appealing feature of the
Kota variety is that it is hard red
spring wheat, not a durum wheat, and
it is said to be highly rust resistant.
Apparently the rust did no damage
to the wheat in the Porter wheat, al
tho few rust spots could be seen on
the plants after harvest. In common
with neighboring fields of different
varieties, this field was damaged con-
siderably by dry weather, and the
grain are somewhat shrunken. The
heads resemble velvet chaff, as it is a
bearded variety, while the kernels are
a trifle smaller than those of velvet
chaff wheat. 1t is believed that by
the end of next year enough Of the
seed will be available so that farmers
who wish can give the variety try
out.
