PLAN TO CONTROL WEATHER
Scheme Has Been the Dream of Many
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved

Three or four years ago Sheffield
(Eng) wOrkingman claimed to be put
ting the finishing touches to an instru-
ment to enable him "tO focus beams Of
ether oscillation" and so control the
weather. Unfortunately, the instru-
ment could not have been so perfect
as he thought, for nothing further has
been heard of 1t. Before that Leeds
scientist had come to the conclusion
that 1t was "within the scope of hui
man possibility to prevent disastrous
cyclones, hurricanes and storms, and
even to improve permanently the
weather Of the British isles" The
idea was the production Of an instru-
ment enabling the operator to collect
or dissemble the molecules which form
the atmosphere, securing the degree
of density desired and SO arranging
the best weather required for any dis
trict or seasonal occupation. More
than twelve years ago Sir Oliver Lodge
demonstrated that fog could be dis
PEELED by electricity, though the
process was too costly for adoption
generally.

TO DESTROY INSECTS
Working Soil at Different Seasons Of
Year Keeps Down Weeds and
Injurious Bugs.

Weeds and insects are more easily
controlled by practicing a rotation be-
cause, for different crops. the soil il
worked at different seasons of the
year. and thus weeds which are preva-
lent at one season may be destroyed by
growing a spring crop and those preva.
lent In another season by growing a
crop for which the ground Is worked
in the fall. The same Is true of in
sects which affect one crop but not an
other; thus. by rotating crops on
field insects are also largely de-
stroyed.

1t used to be thought that beasts
and birds were guided in their action
entirely by instinct, reason playing no
part whatever in their daily lives. But
now naturalists are not so sure. To

Businessmen of Ryder
Subscribe $2,l0O to
Trinity Hospital

c. E. Danelson and DR.. A. C. Fon-
kalsrud, representing the Trinity
Hospital, under construction in this
city, visited Ryder, an up-to-date lit
tie city located in the southwestern
portion of Ward county one day last
week, and secured subscriptions from
the businessmen amounting to S2,1OO
The country district around Ryder has
not been visited yet, but the commit
tee has assurance that $2,OOO.0O will
be added from that locality
This is a very satisfactory show
ing and is especially pleasing to the
hospital management, inasmuch as
Ryder was the first town outside of
Minot where solicitations were made
1t demonstrates that tn. campaign
for funds for the big hospital is going
over in very successful manner, for
the other communities are certain to
do equally as we'll as Ryder.
The good folks at Ryder and the
other communities realize full we'll
that this is northwestern North
Dakota proposition. The hospital will
belong to the outlying communities
fully as much as it belongs to Minot.
The building of good roads brings the
various communities within COM
paratively short distance Of Minot.

J. w. johnson, old time farmer
from Burlington, was in Minot Mon
day. He states that the growers have
practically quit digging potatoes, on
account of the low market and the
fact that frost has nipped those close
to the surface, which would result in
much damage to the good potatoes in
the bin, unless sorted. Mr.. Johnson
planted only two acres and has the
crop stored in his basement.

Dried Seed Corn Best-Walster

| Seed corn should be placed in a
we'll ventilated room warmed by arti-
fetal heat, is the answer given by DR..
| Fl. L. Walster, agronomist of the
North Dakota Agricultural expert
ment station, to the frequent inquiries
! Of, "where is the best place to cure
seed corn?"
DR.. Walster quoted the results of
two years Investigations on the ger
| mination of seed corn stored in differ
| ent places as conducted in the Wiscon-
| sin experiment station. Seed corn
kiln dried showed a termination of
81 u per cent, seed corn dried in a
| furnace room terminated 81 per cent,
corn dried in a room over the kitchen,
where some Of the heat from the room
below entered in, showed a germina-
tion of 86 1/2 per cent. Attic-stored
corn showed termination of "a 1/2
per cent. The average record records
of these four good places for storing
corn was 1873 per cent.
This average compared with six
different outdoor places shows great
advantage in indoor storing. Germin-
alton percentages for outdoor places:
under porches. 7O.5 per cent; gran
aries, per cent; barns and tool
houses, SO per cent; picked from corn
crib for seed, 81 1/2 per cent; left in
shock during winter, 41.2 per cent;
hung on windmill or outside walls, 81
per cent. The average of the out
door places was l per cent germina-
tion.
DR.. Walster also answers the ques-
ton that many ask, "why all the en-
phasis on caring Of home seed corn,
by declaring that the North Dakota
seed is better than any that can be
brought into the state. Corn readily
adapts itself to local conditions and
the seed best for one locality will quite
often fail to thrive in another local
ity. The northwest dent seed corn
shows local adaptation even within
the state, the agroromist declared.
CaSs comfy seed is excellent for the
southeastern part of the state but
does not yield as we'll in the western
part cf the state as western selected
strains.
each farmer should pick and cure
his own seed corn to secure best
ields," DR.. Walster concluded

MAJOR GENERAL
Europe Expecting America

Chicago. Nov. 2o.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. 1.-The only solution, which
will lead to world peace is an inter-
national confederation against war,
under which an offender would be
cealt with like any other rIoter
Major General John F. Organ de-
clared today In an address before the
Southern Commercial congreks.
The League Of Nations, he said is a
step in that direction, but lacks lead
ership. People of Europe. General
Organ declared, are looking to
America to furnish that disinterested
leadership.
He proposed a federal corporation,
created by congress. to make a thor
ough study OF the problem of pre-
venting future wars and submit its
report and recommendations to the
government for action.
ITO indicate to you," he said. that
this problem is not an academic one
merely, having to do only with future
generations. but that 1t lis One that
vitality concerns you and all the other
families of America. let me remind
you that this very day great groups
Of we'll educated and Industrious Of
fcers are working out, In all their de-
tails, how your boys and other boys
like them are to be employed in the
next war. This work is going on day
in and day out. Not only as part Of
the routine of the government,
abroad, but here in our own country.
I~muraoticable Folk Advise.
Many good but impracticable peo-
pie in our country who have thus
visualized war as it is. and view it as
a form Of insanity, are advocating that

indirectly, and for m cause what
soever, and never to aid in the prose-
cution Of any war directly or indirect
ly.
"An example Of these abortive
movements may be instanced by the
effort to abolish armies and arma-
ment as II automatically such aboli-
ton would end war. Need it be points
ed out that the real problem is to pre-
vent fighting between peoples and not
to limit the size Of the organized
forces and character and amount OF
armament they are to use in the fight
ing at the outbreak of war? Limiting
or abolishing armament will not auto
m~atically stop fighting.
Man q Fighting Animal.
THAT we cannot develop an order

in a sense a fighting animal, but it is
for that very reascs. that he must be
