AVARIETIES — OF TREES DO WELL INN. D. Great Plains Experimental Staticn Gives Forestation Advice in Report The problem of forestation on North Dakota plains is about to be solved by experiments, being con- ducted at the Great Plains station of the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture. Experiments begun at the Great Plains station contained in the de- cennial report of the Mandan sta- tion, point to four varieties of trees 3 being able to withstand climatic of North Dak extremes the ota lains. The ten-year report of the experi- ment station, ‘distributed todays catalogs results of farm experimen- tation work at the Mandan station since its establishment. Four arboreal varieties fitted for North Dakota planting are: box eld- er. green ash, white elm, and cara- gena. Experiments covering 80 var- ieties of trees indicate these four will survive arid weather and sub- zero cold of the western plains. “Experience of seven years of tree planting has shown conclusively that it is possible to start successfully a planting of trees on the average up- land farm site in the northern Great ” the report states. “Future not it is possible for such plantings to maintain themselves after they have attained their maximum rowth, “Careful preparation of the soil before planting to conserve moisture and work out grass and weeds is a prime requisite for successful tree planting. Clean summer fallow is the best tillage practice for this pur- ose. “Insect and animal pests may cause considerable damage unless precautions are taken.

The cattle made the best gains. in this pasture, but the native veget tion is not as completely utilized as under the system of deferred and rotation grazing. “The 70-acre deferred and rota- tion pasture during the three years from 1920 to 1922, inclusive, has been grazed at the rate of one 2-year-old steer to 4.375 acres. This system of grazing has resulted in a high utilization of the vegetation. The gains of the cattle have been about 10 per cent below the best gains made, The vegetation in this pasture has not been injured by the high de- gree of utilization. This was be- cause the vegetation in the different divisions of the pasture was allowed to mature periodically before it was subjected again to grazing.” AGED LEADER OF CATHOLICS DIES IN QUEBEC Quebec, July, 20—(#)—The body of Cardinal Begin, archbishop of Que- bec and primate of Canada, who died day, lay in state today in the dl 1 of the archbishop’s palace. fext Saturday the son of s humble farmer, who me a prince of the Roman Catholic church, will buried in the crypt of the palac Despite his 85 years the Rocky Mountain region and oor occured se oe and Winnipes. oppis w.

CURTIS SEES GOOD TIMES FOR FARMERS Senate Leader Brings Optim- istic Report of Agricul- ture to Coolidge Swampscott, Mass., July 20.) N.D.

The survey is being conducted by the Nipponese ministry of agricul- ture.

He saw no need for a special session meanwhile. Good prices and good crops are giving satisfaction to the farmers, generally, Senator Curtis said. He based his report on a recent visit to the west, particularly his home state. If any legislation is attempt- ed next season for the farmer, he thought it should provide for some assistance in cooperative marketing. The ‘Republican leader is a mem- ber af the finance committee and he believes that tax reduction to at least $300,000,000 will be possible. This can can be increased to even $500,000,000, he declared, if a reor- ganization of the government de- partments is brought about to pre- vent duplication. Senator Curtis supports in the main the reorganization bill pre~ sented last session, which provides for a new executive department, but he thinks this program could be car- Tied even further so as to wipe out some of the unnecessary bureaus. ‘As chairman of the rules commit- tee Senator Curtis thinks a revision to some extent is desirable, but he told the executive he did not think the campaign for a general revision of the rules should be allowed to take up the time of the senate next session conducting, a public cam- paign for revision of the senate rules. : : In regard to a possible special session of congress, should an emer- tributed by middle class farmers.

As soon as this incident was ended Judge Raulston announced from the bench that the great crowd literally packed into the court room and made the build- ing unsafe, and he ordered the adjourned to the Dayton, Tenn., July 20—()— Judge John Raulston cited Clarence Darrow, defense attor- ney in the Scopes evolution trial, for contempt of his court and directed that the Chicago at- torney appear Tuesday morning to show why contempt proceed- ings should not be instituted. The judge named as grounds for the citation remarks of Mr. Darrow to the court Friday, when the court excluded the testimony of scientific experts from the jury. The Chicago lawyer was di- rectetd to make $5,000 bond for his appearance to answer the ci- tation tomorrow. On last Friday, the judge said, “Contempt was committed in this court.” He quoted from the record of Mr. Darrow’s exchange with the court on the discussion after Judge Raulston excluded expert testimony. “Until passion has had time to subdue, the court has withheld any action,” the judge read. “I feel it is now time to speak. Men may be- come prominent, but they should never, hold ‘themselves superior to the law.” The court received a guaranty of Mr. Darrow's surety and the trial proceeded with efforts of the de- fense to introduce documentary evi- dence in the absence of the jury. In announcing the contempt cita- tion, Judge Raulston read from the record of Friday's proceedings. Mr. Darrow frequently smiled and chuckled as the court read. STATEMENT FOR RECORD Dayton, Tenn., July 20.—()—At- torneys for John T, Scopes came to court today with a mass of docu- ments prepared by scientists, tell- ing of theories of evolution, as studied in many fields of scientific research. The lawyers were pre- pared to place these statemnts in the record of the case for the infor- mation of a superior court in the event the Scopes case is reviewed. Judge John T. Raulston Friday for- bade the jury to hear the experte explain the theory of evolution. After two days adjournment over the week-end, which the defense spent in preparing the experts’ statements, both sides contemplated an early conclusion of the case. Counsel had informally agreed to fix the speech-making at four hours to the side in which it was expected at the opening of court today that the court would probably receive the insructions of the judge Tuesday and retire on the subject whether the defendant taught theories on evolu- (es in violation of the Tennessee law. Attorneys, who have been engag- ing in sharp encounters over legal moves in the courtroom, were clo: ed in conferences or out of town in the interval. William ‘deapings Bryan spoke at Pikesville yesterday morning, and Clarence Darrow lectured in C tanooga yesterday. Judge Raul and Attorney General Stewart visit- ed their homes at Winchester. EVOLUTION DISCUSSED Dayton, Tenn., July 20.—()—Ev- olution, “The doctrine of how things have changed in the past and how they are changing in the present,” was discussed by Dr. Winnerton C. Curtis, zoologist, University of Missouri, in a statement admitted to the record of the Scopes case here today. Dr. Curtis divided his subject into cosmic, geologic and organic evolu- tion, as represented by the scienc of astronomy, geology and biology, and discussed each briefly, conclud- ing with a consideration of the fact, the course and the causes of organic evolution. “We have,” he said, “the fact of evolution as representing the histor- ical series of events; the coupe fol- lowed in evolution, for instance, whe- ther the land vertebrates are a cross from the fish-like ancestors; birds from reptiles or the like and the cause of evolution, or what makes it happen.
