GOOD
SlLAGE CROP

Sunhowers make more growth than
corn during cold weather, and prob
ably is better able to recover from
slight frost damage than the corn
plant, says DR.. H. L. Walster, agroo-
nomist at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural Experiment station. These quail
titles, he says, together with the fact
that ii will produce a larger tonnage
to the acre than corn, are making this
crop increasingly popular as a sllage
crop.
The general rule, for making the
best silage from corn is: Cut the corn
when about one-half the ears are we'll
glazed. What is the rule for sun
flowers? Shaw and Wright of the
dairy division of the bureau of ami
NAL husbandry, United States depart
,ment of agriculture, have Just report
ed a piece of work showing the COM
position of the sunflower plant at the
different stages of growth. Their
studies lead them to suggest the fol-
lowing rule for sunfowers:
Ensile when the yellow rays of the
flower have become dry and are fall
ing. The sunfowers they use con
tanned about rs per cent water and 25
per cent dry matter at that stage.
The -sunfower plant contains only
a small quantity Of starch at enciling
time, whereas the corn plant is very
high in startch at it's best ensiling
time.

He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest Of a coming age:
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants a

What does he plant who plants a tree ?
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessings on the neighborhood
Who in the hollow Of His hand
Holds all the growth Of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs ir his heart who plants a tree.

walked to the edge Of the pond and
put one little foot in the cold water.

to dive for things as we do; just
swim like this
Like this" was very easy for
buckle, because he was a duck and
had the right sort Of feet, but when
poor little Fluffy waded in she was
soon futtering and Tapping about in
the most helpless manner, too far
from the bank to get back.
'"Peep, peep. peep!" cried poor,
frightened little Fluffy. II don't like
this cold water and l am getting
soaked know shall so right to the
bottom of this dreadful black pond in
minute. Peep, peep, peep!"
Duckie and his brothers and Sisters
began to swim away, for they were
frightened now at what they had done,
and if it had not been for Rover Dog,
who jumped in and saved Fluffy by
picking her up in his big mouth, she
would never have seen her mother
again. .pa
Il saw you running away with the
Ducklings," said Rover, land I thought
you would get into trouble, so Il fol-
lowed; you cannot SWIM"
II know l can't now, but thought
I could" peeped Fluffy weakly, after
Rover had gently rolled her over in
the grass and dried her feathers.
When Rover and Fluffy reached the
barnyard Mrs. Leghorn was clucking
loudly for her lost chick.
Here she u.s." said Rover, ''and 1
advise you to be little more watch
full in the future if you wish to bring
up all your family. This chick was
trying to swim when found her."
Poor Mrs. Leghorn just tumbled over
from fright and it took Mrs. White
Hen and Mrs. Black Hen some time
before they could get her to eat her
dinner.
But no one had to watch Fluffy
after that. She had learned that chick
ems cannot swim even If ducklings
can, and when they call her ''fraidy
chick" Fluffy just looks at their feet
and they stop calling her names.

FLUFFY'S LESSON

ELUFFY was the spoiled chick OF
l. Mrs. Leghorn's brood, and so one
morning when Duckie called to her to
play with him Fluffy went, although
she knew that her mother had told
all the chicks that the way the duck
lings had Of playing was not good for
chicks.

said Duckie my brothers and sisters
are far down the road now, but we
can catch them"
OF course, Fluffy did not know what
pond was like, but she did not In
tend to let Duckie think he knew more
than she did, so she went along.
1t seemed a long way to the pond,
but Fluffy was brave and she walked
along behind the waddling ducklings,

.KUBANKA WHEAT
BEATS THE DURUM

County Agent T. x. Cainan last
spring put on. campaign for more
Kubanka wheat in Barnes County, and
as a result two and one half carloads
of this wheat were shipped into
Barnes from Cavalier county, which it
is said made the farmers fine profit.
When comparison of the results
was taken, from reports sent in by
several Barnes county fafHers, it
was seen that the average yield per
acre Of Kubanka wheat was 1873
bushels as compared to 10.4 bushels Of
common Durum or Arnautka. The
average weight per bushel Of Ku-
banka was sos pounds, Of common
Durum- $50 pounds.
The difference in yield per acre:
acre. therefore, was 70 bushels.
Eight hundred and eleven acres yield
ed 1884 bushels of Kubanka. If this
had been common Durum, it would
have yielded 8,434 bushels, according
to farmers own reports. Because ku-
banka wheat was grown, however, the
yield was 6,410 bushels more. Six
thousand four hundred ten bushels at
$500 per bushel would amount to
$12,82O. From this information it,
would appear that Kubanka is a good
wheat to grow.
However, the county agent warns
to be sure to look up the origin Of the
wheat, and be reasonably sure that
you are getting genuine Kubanka.

SPEAK IN CHAPEL

On Thursday morning we were
pleased to have with us, ten of the
county superintendent of this section
Of the state and also the state super
intendent. They all attended chapel
and addressed a few remarks to the
students.
DR.. C. E. Allen appointed Miss Min
ME j. Nelson as chairman of the
meeting and she introduced to us the
various members of her Family"
Mr.. John A.. johnson, of Barnes
county, being the only man, was per,
mitted to speak first. He announced
that he had already contracted with
President Allen for all the 1921 Nor
NAL graduates to teach in Barnes
county next year.
The next speaker, Mrs. Helen H.
Porter, Of Cass county, expressed a
wish to have some OF, the best teach
ers who are graduating this year, to
come to Cass county.
The other superintendent from
Ransom, Stutsman, Foster, Kidder:
Benson, LaMoure. Griggs and Rich
land counties, protested strongly
against the contract between DR.. AL
len and Mr.. Johnson for taking all of
our Normal School graduates. Each
one had some special inducement for
teachers to come to her county next
year. Each promised that teachers
in her particular county would have
to teach school one year only but
could practice Domestic Science after
that.
After these speeches DR.. Allen ask
ed that the students stand who are
from each county represented by a
county superintendent. Barnes coun-
ty had the largest number and Cass
county the next highest. The num-
Der of students from the other aftil-
lated counties varied considerably.
The county superintendent who
were present were as follows: John
A. johnson, Bernes; Adeline Engle-
horn, Benson; Helen H. Porter; Cass;
Mary K. Beatty, Foster; Matilda L.
Johnson, Griggs; Lydia Human. Kid

Thursday and headed by l. J. Moe,
president Of the North Dakota Good
Roads Association appeared before
the Barnes County Commissioners, in
regular monthly meeting, asking the

all they asked, they were pleased 70
receive the assurance of the count
ty commissioners, of Barnes county
that road would be constructed over
the hill from Kathryn to the north
line of Oakhill township, which when
completed will mean a distance of
around six miles Of good roads, where
it is said at the present time the high
way is barely passable.
The delegation was said to have

cooperation shown by the commission
ers in assuring them that work would
be done on the highway the coming

VIC. DEBATERSLOSE
TO DICKINSON TEAM

Valley City High School debating
team, composed Of oliver Storm
Ralph Curren, and Louise Wheelock:
lost the debate at Dickinson Friday
evening to the Dickinson High School
debating team to O, according to ad-
vices received by Superintendent of
City Schools Hanna today.
Nothing further was said lin the
advices received, and further details
will be unobtainable until the team
arrives home. Dickinson was known
to have a strong team and evidently
their oratorical ability far exceeded
that of the locals, judging from the
vote given by the judges.
Valley City had come off victorious
in all previous debates. but the defeat
at Dickinson eliminates them from
the state championship race the
finals of which will be held in Grand

C0CKATOO KILLS BIG RO0sTEa
Bird, at Outs With Barnyard Fowl,
Wins Battle at Mar
tinez, Cal.

Martinez, Gala bitter battle was
fought at the home Of B. f. Rhine,
local merchant, by twO-pound cOcka
too and an eight-pOund rooster.
The diminutive cOckatoO proved
that weight does not always prevail,
for after taking Il severe grueling for
almost five minutes he grabbed the
rooster in the .windpipe with his sharp
beak, administering the death blow.
According to Rhine, the pair had
been at outs for several weeks. One
morning the cOckatoo was perched On
a bush in the back yard when the
rooster spied him. The heavyweight
barnyard champiua made u rush at
his smaller enemy, spurs and beak.
The cOckatoo. however, dug his
claws into the ruUSter'S breast, and
pulling himself upright administered
the death blow.
