"How TO GROW SPRING WHEAT


The following essay, written by
Anna Larson of Chokio, won $500
prize in the recent essay contest Of
the Spring Wheat Crop Improvement
Association:
l live in Stevens County, Mime
sofa, a great wheat growing section
so l have become familiar with the
different varieties of wheat, method
of planting, harvesting, etc. think
Marquis wheat the best variety and
planted by most farmers, but Velvet
Chaff is also raised. The reasons for
planting Marquis wheat are as fol-
lows:
1t is a very hardy grain, much of
it's strength is in it's stalk so it makes
it stalk tough and that prevents it
from lodging; it can be put in earlier
than any other wheat so the rust is
not so bad on it, and it also yields
we'll. The only disadvantages are
ripe and it is tough to thresh; some
of the kernels stay in the hull and go
over into the straw stack.
In selecting seed l would use my
own if it is clean and good, or from
a neighbOr close by because the seed
is then adapted to this climate and
soil If it is brought from distance
it may not be adapted to this climate
and it may not grow we'll on this soil,
it also may contain weed seeds. In
buying seed wheat, buy from a reli-
able party and test the seed before
buying, if possible. After getting the
seed home store it in dry bin. The
grain should be famed until free
from weed seeds, and if it contains
wild oats, l would take it to the elev-
ator to have it famed to get the wild
oats out. After that rebin it. Wheat
should be tested by placing one hum
dred kernels on blotter, cover with
a cloth and fold cloth ends of the
blotter over. Place it on the top of
a tumbler of water and let the ends
of the cloth hang into the water.
Keep warm and moist about six days
and the number of sprouted kernels is
the percent of the wheat that will
grow. The day before planting,
treat it for smut by using fOrmalin
Zone pint formaIin to one barrel
water). Spread the wheat on a
blanket or in wagon box and then
spray it with formalin stirring it all
the time so all the wheat will get
damp, but not wet.
There were few barberry bushes
around here but they were dug up at
the County Agents command. The
barberry bushes have small round
green leaves and small red berries
and look very much like currants.
Our worst pest is the wild oats; al
though there is much mustard, it
doesn't do as much damage.
To get rid of wild oats and other
weeds we should plant the wheat in
corn ground which was kept good
and clean last year, or plant on sum-
mer following. Weeds may be killed
by cultivation, summer following,
burning stubble and by frost.
In selecting a field for wheat
choose a we'll drained field, free from
rock. For fertilizer use we'll rotted
horse manure, although phosphate
rock is also good. 1t should be ap-

Do Not Disturb the Silk Worms.

In the Chinese slkworm Matching
rooms the temperature is tested by
naked men. Thanks to the sensitive
ness of their skins these fellows keep
the heat moisture just right. AS you
stand in the vast Chinese silkworm
houses you hear not only the sound
Of the worms feeding on mulberry
leaves, but also the actual sound Of
the silk spinning spinning of their
cocoons-a sound like rustling rain.

MORE STATE BONDS
SOLD IN EAST

The following telegram was re-
ceived by The Courant Tuesday: u
Bismarck, 24-The hope of the /.
v. A. leaders that their Coffey-Mc-
Harg injunction would frghten in
vestors and prevent sale of state
bonds was shattered when the Bank of
North Dakota received the following
wire today: .:
Toledo, Ohio, 1850 A. M. Oct. "a.
1921.-Bank of North Dakota, Bis
marck, N. D. We are ready to take
up and pay you for all real estate
series bonds of five hundred and one
thousand dollar denominations that
you have. Kindly make delivery Of
these bonds as soon as possible. Spit
zer, Rorick and Co.
This means said an official of the
Bank that we have sold all the bonds
possible until new farm loans are
made. It also indicates that as soon
as the new loans are made Spitzer
Rorick and Co. will be able to take
them faster than they can be issued.
The batch referred to by Spitzer Ror-
ick and Co. in their wire only need the
signature Of the Governor, Secretary
Of State, State Treasurer and State
Auditor for their completion. This
thaws out all so-called frozen loans
previously made by the bank. If all
the iniatiative measures are defeated
the Bank Of North Dakota will be in
position to make farm loans as fast
as applications can be examined and
approved.

This year we are vealing our calves
and we are not raising beef, resulting
in lessening Of production. All the
farmers are doing the same-they are
forced to it. Why should we be re-
quired to raise beef at loss and yet
we have done it and we cannot do it
any longer. Neither can we raise
wheat at loss and continue as we
have been doing. It is an absolute
fact that many farmers, conservative
ly speaking, in 1919 and 1920 were
worth $4,000 to $4,000 ARE today

FORD ON RAILROADS

Apparently Henry Ford is believ-
er in the Plumb plan for the rail-
roads. At any rate, the plan he out
lines, for doing away with financial
control Of the railroads, and permit
ting the workers to own the stock,
instead of absentee stockholders who
have no other interest in the road
than to have it pay dividends regu-
larly. is essentially the same as the
plumb plan.
Some such plan must be adopted
if the railroads are to be rescued
from ruin. Mr.. Ford will of course be
jeered at by railroad executives for
his views. Nevertheless he is on in
dustrial organizer whose advice along
this line Of his speciality, efficient in
durtrial organization, must be accept
ed as out Of the ordinary. And he is
the more entitled to be heard, in that
he is now himself a railroad execu-
tive, and one of the few who are max
Mr.. Ford flies right in taa faca af.
accepted American railroad practice.
He would have lighter equipment,
shorter freight trains, more frequent
service, speedier delivery Of freight.
He would cut out useless officials,
Danish red tape in accounting, and in
every way strive to make the rail-
roads put service ahead Of dividends.
They must, in fact, do that. The ma
ton cannot afford to on with a trans
portation system controlled by big
business, in the interest of profits,
and subject to breakdown in every
crisis. Mr.. Ford's powerful influence
ought to go q long way in brining
about new deal. The people in gem
erel have confidence in his judgment,
and when his voice is added to that
Of Mr.. Plumb-the practical industrial
organizer to the hearetical student
the adherents Of private ownership
and profiteering operation are going
to have q much more difficult time
to defend their position than they
have had in the post.
But the chief argument which NJ.
Ford and Mr.. Plumb have 10 that ths
present system doesn't wofk, and
can't work, and that it's breakdown b.
comes daily more evident.-The Cour-
ier-News.

FARM SUPPLY
PRICES SECURED

North Dakota Co. Farm Bureaus
are responding to the call from the
Joint Congressional Committee on In
vestigation Of Agriculture for inform
alton relating to prices farmers have
paid for their supplies. So valuable
was the data secured by the Farm
Bureau for this Committee when they
held hearings on agricultural condi-
tions in their respective counties last
spring that the Committee has asked
the Farm Bureau to secure addition
al data. This time one schedule OF
prices is being made out from each
county, covering the following groups
Of commodities:
First, food prices; second, clothing,
third, house furnishings; fourth, pro-
duction equipment; fifth, fertilizers
and spraying materials; sixth, seeds;
seventh, feed; eighth, building mater
falls; ninth, fuel and lighting; tenth,
miscellaneous.
The prices are given from dates as
Of March 1st and November 1st each
year from 1913 to 1921 inclusive,
with the exception that September LIST
instead Of November LIST Is used In
1921. These questionaires are just be-
ing received at the North Dakota
Farm Bureaus Federation's head
quarters and furnishes some very in
teresting data.
For example, in Ransom county,
prices were listed as follows:
Lumber, is foot, 2x4 per hundred,
March LIST, 1918, $3.10 ,1aM, $40;
1915, $2.70; 1916, $2.7o; 1917, $500;
1918, $4.20; 1919, $40; 1920, $7.40,
1921, $3.50.
Cement on March 1st, 1918 was 70
cents per hundred weight. It contin-
ued at 10 cents, Is cents and 80 cents
up to 1917 and went to S1.50 in 1920.
! It is at $1.O0 now.
Mems suits were $500 In 1917 and
are $4,000 now.
Overalls were $1.25. in 1917, Sits
now. They reached their high point in
1919 at $3.50.

HOMECOMING DAY
ATTENDED BY many

Last Friday was Homecoming Day
in Bottineau and although the wealth
er was probably the worst we have
had this fall, good crowd attended
] the afternoon program. y.
The program opened with q short
band concert down town and a parade
of the service men through the streets
of the city and out to the Fair
Grounds where the balance OF the
program was held. Vi,
A drill by service men, with Lieut..
Monte Woods in charge held forth for
half an hour or more, followed by a
tug-of-war between picked service
men and then recreation period for
service men, in which it was clearly
shown that County Agent !Aamodt
was outclassed, especially SO when
Chief Woods took after him with q
leather strap.
Next on the program was a Ford
relay race, won by Joe Bogstie and
then motorcycle sidecar race, won
by A. S. Thorsen.
Pie and coffee was served by the
Bottineau Woman'ss Club to the SER
vice men, the band boys and football
teams. ~
Then the big event Of the afternoon
was staged, football game between
Ne sthope and Bottineau' high schools.
The game was easily won BY Botti-
neau with a score Of 80 to 0. Eastgete.
Woodward, Gorder, Clausen and Riley
did stellar work for Bottineau, white
the Page boys, although little fellows
were in the game all the time for
Westhope.
The day was fittingly brought to g
close in the evening with big dance
in the high school gymnasium.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Fake plays and forward passes
paved the way for the defeat of West
hope high school by our Aigi school
by score of SO to 0 on Homecoming
Day. Altho the wind was blowing at
a terrific gale forward passes were
executed perfectly by both teams at
all stages Of the game. Bottineau's
team pushed across two touchdowns
in the first quarter Of play and under
the able leadership Of Rolla Eastgate
the ball was in Westhope territory
most Of the game. Two of the touch
downs were negotiated thru a series
Of fake plays, one by Captain East
gate and one by Lionel Riley, half
back. The longest run was made by
Eastgate around left end for 70 yards
down the close side of the field.
Length of quarters IL minutes, ref
cree, I. P. Ertresvaag, Umpire O'Hara
and Head Linesman C. B. Aamodt.
Friday afternoon the football team
journeys to Rugby where they engage
in combat royal with their old enem-
les down the line. Rugby has good
team with lots Of experience yet our
boys are going to give them run for
the game. Plan to 60 down and root
for the team.
The Sophomores of last year pre-
sented the high school with fine new
flag which they won in a contest last
summer. This flag with the name OF
the donors upon it will be hung in the
Assembly Hall.
As soon as the high school has re-
ceived their pennant from the Normal
school as a result of winning the
Track Meet last spring it will be dis.
played in the Assembly. Bottineau
won all three divisions Of the meet
last year. The Track meet this spring
according to latest information will
be a good one with lots Of keen com.
petition. Westhope has q bunch Of
good material and is coming down K
take home the pennant.
Jerry Scully and inbred Dokken art
laid up temporarily due to injuries
sustained in the Westhope game. They
may not play against Rugby this weel
but we hope to see them in the second
game which will be played here.
