FRIDAY, APRIL 8; 1921 SON BREAKS LEG MOTHER 10 SRED BIG FARM ALONE Mrs. Bertha Whitcomb of Can- non Ball, Applies for Federal Aid Notwithstanding her son has a bro- ken leg and she has had heavy hos- pital bills to pay on top of a crop failure last year, Mrs, Bertha Whit- comb, of Cannon Bali, i$ not diseour- aged. H She plans on putting in herself 125 acres of wheat besides many acres of oats, other grain and corn. She ap- plied yeserday at the oflice of the Mor- ton County Farm Bureau in the jfost- office building for federal aid so. that; she could thereby secure the seed wheat. “I will have to put in the crop all) alone,” she said. “But 1 am going to} plant every acre that I can get ready. 1 hope we will have a good crop.” i BURNS WILL GIVE ADDRESS AT MANDAN, Methodist Bishop to Talk on April 12 at Palace Theatre Bishop Charles Wesley Burns of the Methodist Episcopal church, will de- liver a public address on the after- noon of April 12 at the Palace theater according to an announcement made today by Rev. F. W. Thatcher, pastor of the Mandan Methodist church. Bishop Burns wf arrive on No. 1. He will meet the members of Rev, Mr. Thatcher’s congregation immediately upon arrival and will then have luncheon with the hospital board and representatives of civic organia#ions.! Thos. H. Sullivan, secretary of the} Mandan Commercial club, in connec- tion with the visit of Bishop Burns declares: “Because of his interest in the lo- cal hospital project, the Bishop was invited by the Commercial club to visit Mandan at the first opportunity and be the guest ofthe city, as well as members of his own denomination. He is am entertaining speaker and it is. hoped that the greatest possible number. of our citizens may have an opportunity to hear him. The Bishop's reputation ag an orator precedes him to this city and there is no doubt but what the capacity of the theater will be taxed on this occasion. He is re- vered .by those of his own denomina- tion and\admiréd by all who know him, A treat is in store for those who will hear him on-this occasion.” PLANT CORN SAYS DAWSON John Dawson, one of Morton coun- ty’s leading’ farmers, in the current number of the Morton County Farm Bureau News urges farmers in West- ern North Dakota to plant more corn. “Now is the time when we should decide where and how much corn we are going to plat,” he says. “We should plant at least one-third of all cultivated land to corn each year, one early variey should be used. This should be as near the home buildings as possible and soon as it is dented in good shape, turn in the hogs and let them do the picking. Most any of the flint varities are good for this purpose. The balance should be of a variety that grows tall enough so that it can be cut with a binder. Min- nesota 13 is a good variety for this purpose if planted at the proper time, it will make lots of fodder. and with an ordinary season will get ripe and you will have lots of good feed to carry your brood sows through the year and your horses and other stock through the winter. “Corn ground should be plowed as soon in the spring as possible ayid har- rowed as soon after rain or whenever the wéather will permit. This, should be kept up until about the 10th dr the 15th of May and then proceed to plant. Be sure that what ever kind of seed you use, it is of goud germination, This method will answer two pur- poses.* It will give you plenty of feed for the stock in winter and it will prepare the land for a good crop of DON'T FUSS WIT MUSTARD PLASTERS!
