FOUR I FAIRS IN
F, STATE TALKED

Bismarck, N. D., April 26.-Possi-
bilities of four fairs in North Dakota,
each recognized as a state fair and
each receiving aid from the state, are
mentioned in letter being sent out
by Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor Joseph Az Kitchen to the men
of the state who are interested in
fairs of any kind. The meeting has
been called at Bismarck, April 26.
The suggestion that has been made
to Mr.. Kitchen is that the state be
covered with four fairs, one at Fargo
and another at Grand Forks, as at
present, and state fair to take the
place of the district fair at Mandan,
with fourth state fair at Minot.
Alternates Prove Success
The alternate fairs at Grand Forks
and Fargo, have proven to be sue
cess in the past, but the present plan
includes succession of expostiions at
the four points named and a joining
of forces to get attractions and ex-
hibits. It is pointed out in this con-
nection that there is little in common
in the character the four fairs should
have, the one at Fargo being in the
center of wheat production, the one
at Mandan being close to the great
plains and the grazing districts of the
state, while Minot combines the graz
ing, with wheat and potato raising,
while Grand Forks ranks first in po-
tato raising.
Cope of Summers Work
While the plan of the four fairs
will be one of the matters to be con-
sidered at the meeting, the express
call is to consider the plan and scope
of the fair work of the present sum-
mer. Another item Of discussion will
be the appropriations to be asked and
other measures to be presented to the
next meeting of the North Dakota
legislature. It will be in the plans
for appropriations that the proposed
change in the number of fairs will be
presented. The appropriations for
state fairs in 1920 and 1921 was $1O,-
100000 for each year, the 1920 appro-
priation not all being expended. This
sum has been divided between num-
ber of organizations, the larges
going to the Fargo, Grand Forks an
Mandan expositions.

WHEAT PRODUCTION
The Influence Of Soil Management In
the Red River Valley by H. L.
Walster, Aoronomist, N. Oak.
Agr. EXP. Station.

Wheat production declines under
continuous cropping. The competition
Of weeds principally wild oats and
french weed) and the inroads of black
stem rust have been the major limit
ing factors in wheat production on
the Fargo clay during the past eight
years. The extent to which this soil
or any other soil may be expected
to respond to any fertilizer or amend
ment cannot be measured when weeds
or plant disease prevent maximum
yields. Disease-resistant varieties of
wheat should be substituted for dis
ease-susceptible varieties in fertilizer
trials that are aimed to discover
chemical deficiencies in the soil.
The use of farm manure in
a continuous grain culture system
does not raise production, largely
because of the serious COM
petition Of weeds Rotation culture
alone has raised wheat yields on
the Fargo clay 3A bushels per acre
during the past 8 years; the use Of
from 9 to 12 tons Of fresh stable
manure applied once in four years
has returned further increase Of
2A bushels; and supplementary treat
ment with either acid phosphate or
steamed bone meal once in four years
has added still another bushel. 10
summarize: Wheat under rotation cul-
ture, the soil treated with manure and
phosphate fertilizer, has yielded over
40 per cent more than. unmanured
wheat land under continuous culture.
Rotation alone has raised the yield
over 20 per cent; and manure has
returned an average annual increase
Of 12 per cent over that of rotation
alone.
In four-year rotation of potatoes,
wheat, clover and barley with crop
residues (barley straw, wheat straw,
and second crop of clover) returned
to the soil, the addition of phosphorus
Increased the yield 7.96 per cent as
an eight-year average. In four-year
rotation Of corn, wheat, clover and
oats, with manure returned Il pound
Of fresh manure returned for every
pound of produce removed) supple
mentary treatment with the same
amount Of phosphates increased the
yield only 4.01 per cent as an eight
year average.
AS an average Of four rust-free
years phosphate increased the yield
Of wheat 3.07 bushels to the acre or
11.3 per cent where crop residues were
returned. AS an average Of the same
four years phosphorus increased the
yield of wheat 1.02 bushels or 3.2
per cent where manure was returned.
The actual yields Of wheat have always
averaged higher under the manure
system than under the crop residue
system.

OUR WHEAT SOIL
NEEDS PHOSPHATES
4 Profitable Crop Depends Upon Good
Seed, Fertile Soil and Clean
Farming.

Nearly all of the spring wheat land
has been cropped to one or another
Of the small grains almost continu-
ously since it was first broken up. The
result is that it is poor in humus and
plantfood and the soil is in poor phys
tcal condition, some Of 1t so poor that
q good crop can no longer be obtained.
The very best way to correct this
condition is to grow wheat in rota-
ton with other crops, especially le-
gumes or grass crops. All the ma
nure available should be added to the
soil.
Experiments conducted in Kansas
show that on land where wheat had
been grown continually for ten years,
that the yield was but 60 per acre,
but that when 27a tons of manure
was added annually, the yield was 1874.
When a legume was added in
three-year rotation with corn, the 21a
tons Of manure per acre used, the yield
was increased to 25.6. In the same Sc
ries Of experiments conducted for 16
years on fields where broom grass,
corn and wheat were alternated with
i've tons Of manure, every third year,
the yield was increased to 37.2.
The rotation to be recommended for
your farm should have cultivated
crop and legume for every two grain
crops, as general thing. But this
Is not always possible, so you will
have to work out the best rotation for
your case according to conditions.
Every farmer ought to try at least
q little acid phosphate to convince
himself whether or not 1t will be
profitable. If the soil is deficient in
phosphates, the time will come when
this fertility will have to be restored
and it is much better to begin before
the fertility is exhausted.

SEEDING I:
tn Than il. LAST year

"North Dakota is having typical,
late spring, which is not unfavorable
excepting in the retradation of filed
work and pastures," according to re-
ports from over the state to j. G.
Diamont, agricultural statistician of
the bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, U. S. department of agricul:
ture, at Grand Forks.
In his statement of conditions, as
of April 49,, Mr.. Diamond says:
"Fields generally are just about
free of snow and frost and are dry
ing slowly due to low temperatures.
On an average field work is reported
about two weeks later than last year,
with no seeding of consequence to
date. Moisture conditions, generally
satisfactory for the state as whole
are considered above the average by
correspondents in the western half.
Roads excepting highways are still
in poor conditions.
Farm Reserves
"Farm reserves of grain, with the
exceptions of corn are placed below
last years average, but are consid-
cred by reprots to be generally suf-
ficient for seed and seed require
ments. A few reports from western
and southwestern points, saN that
some shipment in for both feed and
seed needs, will be necessary, Potato
stocks appear to be somewhat un-
even although held to be sufficient
for all needs. Wheather conditions
have continued favorable for rye, the
spring condition of which is above
average.
Livestock
"While the condition of livestock.
due to the severe winter appears to
be slightly below average, reports
note some improvements since April
1. In sections where feed has been
short stock is reported thin and
weak, especially horses. There has
been some pasturing on old stubble
fields, but green feed for most part
has not yet started. A few reports
from the southeastern district say
the outlook for the spring pig crop
is satisfactory.

wHIsKEY IN BAILED HAY

Up along the Canadian line, a new
way has been devised to ship whis-
key. The fire water is brot across
the line and is then placed in bales Of
hay, couple of gallons in each bale,
in which it is shipped to the Twin
Cities. The hay keeps the jugs from
breaking and no one would suspect an
innocent looking bale of hay of con-
tanning old Scotch. The business of
baling hay has become popular along
the border.

MARQUIS WHEAT

Wheat raising will always be popular
because it is less work than any other
crop.
Marquis wheat is the best spring
wheat. 1t yields better than any other
wheat. If sown early, 1t stands a good
show Of escaping rust. In rust
free year it will make a better profit
than any other crop.

The Central Labor Union at its
meeting last night. received a let
ter from Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor inquiring as to the effect Of
the efforts OF the local Chamber Of
Commerce on tho american plan"
or "anti-labor" cause in this district.
After the letter had been read, the
secretary OF the union was instruct
ed to reply that the Chamber OF
Commerce was looked upon as a
joke. not only by the rank and file
OF citizens of Wilmington, but by
many OF its own members"
Among the subjects discussed at
the meeting was that of the arbltra-
ton committee on the matter Of gas
rates. It was said that a full and
complete investigation had been
made. and that the committee had
ascertained that It was not possible
for tho company al this time to Of
feet a reduction due to the fact that
il is paying considerable more money
for oil and coal and other supplies
used in the manufacture Of the gas
than in October, 1918. when the rate
was increased to the present rate
of Sl.30.
Statistics on rates in other COM
munities were submitted at the
meeting. and IT was felt they com
pared favorably, considering also the
! fact that there are no service
] charges and other items of eXpense
in this city. as in many other cities
that are comparable with Whining
ton The committee stated that
other cities had their rates raised
during the 1919-2O-21 peak. and al
though some reductions from these
war rates had taken place. the local
gas company had not received an
increase since October. 1918, and
there was no immediate possibility OF
effecting a reduction.

trict are improving rapidly. It was
stated that a large number of VIII

trades and car shop workers report
ed increased activities in the differ
