Hints from Squints

Representatives of the Independent
visited Burlington last week to inves-
tigate the crops of that district and
imbibe some of the enthusiasm which
characterizes the people of that COM
munity. Within the confines of the
village we found some Of the finest
corn we have seen this season. f
A. Madison has a small tract of prob
ably quarter acre sowed to corn
called Soviet Dent-the seed of which
was brot back from Russia by Prof
Bolley some years ago and developed
by him. Mr.. Madison prefers to call
this variety |. w. w. Dent. H. A.
kluver has some splendid corn just
west of the village. He told the writ
er of farmer on North Prairie who
fitted up field Of so acres early last
spring intending to grow corn but the
temptation to grow a crop requiring
less attention lured him to seed the
greater portion to wheat, and as a
consequence he is now lamenting the
fact that he didn't take kluver's ad-
vice as he intended. Harvey John
son has fifty acre field of corn which
is doing splendidly in spite Of the
drought.
Potatoes are the centre of interest
of course and just at this time the
growers are busily engaged in fight
ing the bugs. Harvey Johnson has
invented one Of the most useful de-
vices for spraying potatoes, we BE-
lieve, that the genius of a western
grower has conceived in ages. Har-
vey took the gas tank Of an old acete-
lyme lighting apparatus which his
father discarded when Burlington left
the kerosene circuit and this he fills
with some five gallons or more of
Paris green solution and then pumps
up the tank until he gets a goodly
pressure when he fastens his tank to
his cultivator, opens the stop cock and
sets off down the field. One tank full
sprays a couple rounds. 3. 3. Mouck
north of Minot uses similar device
and sprays three rows. J. II. Wer-
ner and FL. A. Kluver having spraying
outfits which spray four rows at a
time.
The directors Of the Burlington Po-
tato Growers Assn met Friday even
ing and appointed committee to Wis

devices.
Besides having small patch of
seeding potatoes, grown from seed OBJ
tanned from John Ehr, E. A. Madison
has some potatoes grown from seed
brot back from France by one of the
Burlington doughboys. He is Civ
ing these potatoes careful attention
and hopes to secure something out
of the ordinary.
Miss Spencer, of Des Moines, Iowa,
a poultry expert of national promin-
ence, gave demonstration of culling
poultry Friday afternoon in the pres
ence Of about 35 interested poultry
raisers in the Burlington district. Her
demonstrations and talk made the
matter of selecting a laying pullet
as plain as the A B C's. Miss Spencer
is working under the auspices of the
extension department of the Farm
Bureau. Many were heard to remark
that they found they had been select
ing their very poorest layers prior
to this time and that heretofore they
supposed because pullet looked sleek
and plump she must be superior
bird, but from now on the selection
of layers will not be a matter of
chance-they1l know.
Rex Stinchcomb, popular clerk at
the C. A. Bugge store left Sunday for
Duluth to join the naval reserves for
a fortnight's training.

BrintOn Not Guilty

The jury in the case brought against
J. w. Brinton former secretary to A.
C. Townley by Attorney General Lem
ke, whereby Lemke sought to prove
that Brinton perjured himself in his
testimony before the investigat-
ing committee at the last session Of
the legislature was concluded Satur-
day morning by a verdict exonerat-
ing Brinton of the charge. The tes-
timony in this case will be used in an
action whereby e. B. McCutcheon,
trustee in the bankruptcy case against
Townley will seek to have the Town
ley case re-opened. 1t is averred
that the testimony in the Brinton suit
throws additional light upon the bank
ruptcy proceedings.

Ill inches rainfall which is the
