Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
CHARACTER" AND "REPUTA.
1ION."

A VOID the common error of con-
n founding these two words, for
there is clear and sharp dis
tinction in their meanings. Your char
acter is what you are, in your moral
nature, your abilities, etc.; your repu-
tation is what your friends, your
neighbors, the world, thinks of you.
Your reputation may be ruined by a
false accusation, but your character
cannot be injured by anyone but your
self.
Abbot says, character is what a
person is; reputation is what he is
supposed to be. Character is in him
self, reputation is in the minds of 9TH
ers. Character is injured by tempta-
rions and wrongdoings; reputation by
SANDERS and lib els. Character endures
through defamation in every form but

transgression; reputation may last
through numerous transgressions, but

Not even gentle breeZes break
The waters perfect glass,
Afloat, alone. from your canoe
Look down and you will see
Reflected there the sky of blue
And all its canopy.
You will behold a thousand lights
Now near that were nfar,
For only thus on perfect nights
The lake receives the star,
Seen only thus when perfect peace
Is on the quiet tide,
When all the winds that wander cease
And earth is satisfied. ,,.

Naturally, the farmers are casting
about for some solution of their diff
culties. Economy in production and
marketing and introduction of other
sources of revenue Immediately sug-
gest themselves as remedies for the
situation. The North Dakota extern
sion division, working through its field
staff of county agents and county club
leaders, is aiding the farmers every
where in the state in crystallizing COM
munity sentiment and getting action on
propositions which otherwise might
not reach farther than the 1--WE ought

Economy in production of wheat is
being encouraged by the introduction
and distribution of rust and drought
resistant varieties, such as the Ku-

LARGER PROFITS CAN Be OBTAINED BY
HAVING MORE AND BETTER DAIRY CATTLE

Greater and surer profits for the
farmers Of North Dakota through the
use of more and better dairy cattle
that is the purpose of the campaign
which is now being conducted by the
extension division and the Agricultural
college.
Sentiments expressed by most Of the
farmers at agricultural MEETINGS this
year show that they are convinced that
straight wheat farming is losing
game. Figures bear out the truth of
this belief. During the past six years,
the average farmer in North Dakota
has made money two years on his
wheat, lost during four years, and
about broke even once. according to
figures collected by Rex r. Willard,
farm economist of the Agricultural col
lege. The profitable crops were pro-
duced in 1915 and 1918, they broke
even in 1917, while in 1916, 1919, 1920
and 1921 wheat was produced at loss.

CROP REPORT

The members of the North Dakota
Crop and Soil Improvement society
are beginning to make reports on
1921 crop experiment work to the
secretary Of the association, DR.. H.
l.. Walster, of the department of
agronomy at the Agricultural college.
Membership of this association, organ
lied last March, is made up of students
at the Agricultural college who have
been interested in courses Of agricul-
ture.
During the past summer Elmer
Darling, now student in the four-year
course at the Agricultural college,
conducted an interesting corn trial at
Thorne. in Rolette county. He grew
one-half acre each of Dakota White
Flint and Gehu Flint, using home
grown seed Alongside Of these he
compared one and one-half acres of
Mercer Flint and one acre of Ivory
King, a -four corn, the latter two var
ieties being furnished by the depart
ment of agronomy. All four varieties

can make a profit with a small herd
is he has the necessary feed and hous-
ing facilities and if he exercises proper
care and management. Many formers
who comply with these specifications
do not have dairy cattle at the present
time, and it is toward these farmers
that our campaign IS directed. Ne do
not want any farmer to go into the
game who cannot provide the feed and
housing facilities and who does not
want to care for dairy stock, for such

AS a result Of the work of the extern

sion division have been held in hum
dredS of communities of the state at
which the merits of the dairy hedr
have been pointed out and the cooper
alton of the local business men in fin
ancing the introduction of dairy cat
tie has been solicited and pledged
These meetings have already begun to
bear fruit. in that many carloads of
dairy cattle are being shipped in and
distributed to the farmers who are
effuipped to care for them, while other
farmers are being encouraged by the
county agents to grow feed crops and
get ready to step into line in the pro-
cession towards better and more pro-
ftable agriculture for North Dakota.

of corn were planted on spring plowed
land on May %. Ripe ears could be
picked from the Dakota White Flint
and Ivory King by August Is. The
Ivory King reached roasting ear stage
about ten days earlier than the Mercer
flint The Mercer ripened more rapidly
after it reached the roasting ear stage.
Mr.. Darling reports that his father
has raised corn successfully on the
home farm every year for the last II
years. but that during 1921 more var
ieties of corn matured during shorter
time than at any time during the last
II years.
All four varieties yielded heavily,
Ivory King being the best yielder. fol-
lowed closely by the two early varie-
ties, the Mercer flint yielding somewhat
less. Since these farmers are engaged
in the livestock business, they wish to
harvest their corn with the corn
binder, and found that the Mercer
flint was the only one readily handeled
with the corn binder, many ears being
huUChcu Ol1 lllc lO"cI SIONluS var
ieties.
Mr.. Darling and his father will re-
peat this experiment again next year
and hope to include other varieties,
their aim being to select some variety
that can be cut with binder and vet
ripen enough ears to get good, diges-
tible fodder.
Using few light layers of paper
with the layers only a short distance
apart, is a common but very useful
method of insuring warm construc-
tion," Mr.. Smith stated in recent dis
cussiOn. '"There should be only
small airspace between the layers,
however. Very often stucco con-
struction will pay for itself in the heat
saved alone, to say nothing of attrac-
tiveness, and saving on paint. In
making these improvements it pays to
use the best materials, and it pays to
employ competent workmen to do the
job"
