STOCK MEN TO GROW LRGUMES
Farners Plan to Give Alfalfa and
Sweet Clover Denonstration

Many farmers in Dickey county
have given serious thought to their
live stock during the past week and
planned to arrange their cropping
system in such q way, that it will pro-
WIDEN feed for the stock which they
expect to have ON hand next winter.
In number Of feeding schools held
throughout the county the point has
been brought out that alfalfa and
sweet clover are equal, pound for
pound, to bran when fed to stock.
This has led number Of farmers to
try small field Of these crops next
year as demonstrations.
Sweet clover seems to interest the
greatest number because Of the ease
Of obtaining good stand, and the
hardness. Alfalfa interests many
who still believe that it can be grown
successfully. Winter killing alfalfa
has discouraged a great many, but q
large number Of demonstrations con-
Quoted in the past have shown that
this is often due to too close cutting
in the fall. It has been found that
when alfalfa goes into the winter with
q good growth or q top dressing OF
fertilizer that it sprouts later in the
spring and seldom winter kills.
Those interested in obtaining infor-
nation about how to get good stand
or how to care for either Of these
crops can have the advantage Of other
farmers experience by conferrine
with the county agent.

LAURENT MAY
CHOSEN POPE
Is Favored by All Factions, Although
Raised to the Purple Only
.a.s Last Year GS>Gt7-.
SACRED COLLEGE COMPLETED
Two American Cardinals Unable ia
Attend Ceremonies

| Interest in the choice of successor
to the late Pope Benedict is increasing
in Catholic circles as the time draws
near for the assembling Of the sacred
conclave, and many attempts to find
an indication Of the result are being
made.
The sacred college was completed
Monday. Fifty-three cardinals are
present in Rome and they will COM
pose the conclave at it's opening ses-
sion. The arrival of Cardinal Logue,
primate of Ireland, completed the list
of electors for the early meetings from
which seven cardinals will be absent.
Cardinal Laurenti, secretary of the
congregation Of the propaganda, al
though raised to the purple only last
year, is understood to be favored by
at least thirty members of the sacred
college who believe in a rapproche-
ment with the Italian government. At
the same time he is accpetable to
those opposed to closer relations with
the quirinal.
The name Of Cardinal Ratti, arch
bishop of Milan, mentioned previous
ly as favored by the peace group head
ed by Cardinal Gasparri, is not heard
so aften now, and the section headed
by Cardinal Merry del Val, which had
been credited with favoring Cardinal
Mafi, archbishop of Pisa, is reported
as ready for compromise before the
balloting begins.
The suggestion made in some of the
Italian newspapers that the conclave
may be postponed to permit the at
tendance of the American cardinals,
who are now on their way to Rome, is
not taken seriously by members Of the
sacred college. 1t is likely that the
conclave will convene today, as orig
inally planned.

FARMERS HOLD
INSTITUTE HERE
DR.. Hollenbeck Discusses Animal Dis
eases and Offers Suggestions.
for Prevention
MANY SUBJECTS ARE DISCUSSED

is Pleasing Feature

The farmers institute put on under
the auspices of state Commissioner Of
Agriculture and Labor Kitchen, was
attended by capacity houses both at
ternoon and evening last Friday in
the M. w. A. hall.
Various subjects and problems were
discussed, both local and statewide
conditions were gone over, and the
farmers expressed themselves as well
pleased with the meetings. The. state
department has not been very active
Of late years with institute work be-
cause the extension division Of the
agricultural college, through the coun-
ty agents, has been covering the
ground thoroughly, but the present
plan is to cooperate with the agents
throughout the state in. such way
as to eliminate duplicating and also
save the state unnecessary expense,
most Of the institutes by the Bismarck
Office being held in counties that do
not have extension workers from the
Agricultural college.
DIR. Hollenbeck Of the u. s. bureau
of animal husbandry Is in charge Of
animal disease work and his decided
views on hog cholera have drawn con-
siderable attention from all over the
state, North Dakota having a very
small percentage Of this disease for
a northern state. The local vets
know that Doc stands back Of them
in their plan to stamp out cholera en-
tirely. He gave an interesting talk
covering almost all disease problems
besetting the North Dakota farmer.
Dan Willard probably is one Of the
oldest institute workers in the state
and for years was chief agriculturist
for the Northern Pacific railroad in
charge Of their various farming pro-
jects. His ideas on marketing were
well taken. Mr.. Willard said more
questions were asked by his audience
here than at any place on this circuit,
showing desire on the part Of our
local farmers to get information.
The audience appreciated the poul-
try denomination put on by Miss
Clara Larson, the club agent for
Barnes county. Miss Larson is an ex-
pert on farm sanitation, boys and
girls projects and other work such as
usually falls to the lot Of the mother
on the farm. Not as many women at
tended as had been expected, but
those who came were pleased with
the program. &

MANY NEW CASES ARE FILED
Six thousand More Service Men Ap-
ply for Vocational Training

since the inauguration OF Cne CAM
Lpaign by representatives Of the Vet
erans' bureau to get in touch with all
former service men and women who
are suffering with some disability in
CURED in OF aggravated by their con-
nection with the service, approximate
ly 6,000 new cases have been filed by
residents Of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota and Montana. -
Three years have passed since the
/ signing Of the armistice, and the i'm.
pressioi, exists in some quarters that
the class Of men making claims at
this time are those who have heard
from others Of the work that the gov.
ernment IL doing in the way of rehab.
ilitation, but who have no just claim
for consideration.
Officers in charge of this branch say
that the majority Of. the, claims nov
being filed with the bureau are worthy
Of consideration. The men who are
now asking for vocational training
and compensation are those who have
hung back, either because of their
modesty or because they felt that to
ask for anything might be construed
as making themselves objects Of char
ity. Most Of these men were actually
in the front line trenches in France
where they were gassed, received gun
shot wounds, were she'll shocked, OF
had influenza; and since their return
home, although destitute, broken in
health and unable to work, have been
struggling in an effort to exist with
out making an appeal to the govern
ment.
The only way that the Veterans
bureau is apprised Of large major
ity of these cases is by friends ap-
pealing in behalf of individuals of
their acquaintance.
A recent case brought to the atten-
tion of officials was that of former
service man who was gassed and
shell shocked in the Argonne. This
man was brought in by a friend, CIV
en- physical examination which re-
vealed that he was suffering from
mental trouble developing because of
his connection with the service, and
compensation and vocational training
allowed in less than month after the
claim had been filed. The man is
now receiving hospital treatment.
Another typical case was that of a
veteran who was employed as a tele-
graph operator by railroad company.
While with the A. E. F. in France, he
was gassed and his eyes were affected
as result. Because of his condition
it was impossible for him to do ef-
ficient work, and it was only because
of the kindness Of his employers and
their realization Of the fact that he
had a wife and two children depend
ent upon him for support that he was
kept. His case was finally brought
to the attention of the bureau and he
is now receiving compensation and
vocational training. |
The number of cases filed in which
there is an apparent desire upon the
part Of the claimant to get something
to which he is not entitled are few
and far between. As general rule

the war, and only wants what he is
