WILD OATS PROBLEN HAS PARTLY SOLVED : BY LISTING OF CORN "Summer Fallowing Is Another Way of Keeping Pest Under Control | STATION REPORTS TESTS a6. H. Plath Finds Lighter Soil and Shallow Cultivation Best on Corn By RAY W. HARDING Nine farm conferences were held 4n Adams county the week of March 4-9 at which 192 farmers attended |}. ahd began a systematic study of their Segoe important problems and the so- vy lutions of them. "Believing that a summary of their ‘experiences during the last 20 ycars ‘would establish the most important problems and point to their solution, these farmers gathered in their dif- » ferent communities to discuss their experiences. Tt is realized by farmers in south- western North Dakota that the difti- | culties encountered in agriculture here are different than in other sec- 4 of the state or other states aue to the fact that we have different soil, seasons and amount of rainfall. ‘This makes us grow different crops and handle them differently than in other sections. ‘Therefore, most of ‘the methods and practices used in other places cannot be applied to this tion. Wild Oats At all of these meetings the con- fj trol of wild oats seemed to be the | @ thief source of trouble. One conclu- gion besed on farmers’ experiences is that wild oats will live in the ground indefinitely and grow when they are turned up to the surface. A \ rather common experience was to @isc a badly infested field early in the . @pring to start the weeds then plow _s, it late in June or early in July, turn- he under the green crop. 4 Almost every man trying this re- he that the next spring he had as wild oats as ever. The only " ‘answer to this seemed to be that {while one crop was killed another was turned up ready to grow the follow- experiences indicate that method must be used. Two ing wild oats that 4 ] i i f are summer In summer plowed early available plant better to keep the a start and be method will tivation seems to make very little mee. In fact some of the ex- showed that plowless tillage iter results, probably because the stubble on top which blowing. while still quite new ost. an impossible & listed field can be kept eleaner with considerable less work. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [SIDE GLANGES--- by Geree Gur REDUCED ACREAGE The first around the Bismarck course. Therefore, Mr. Plath is starting a series of experiments on pasture crops this year to try and determine the most satisfactory crops. Sweet clover has proven the safest up to late, although some farmers are us- ing alfalfa with good results. Hogging Off Crops This subject was discussed at some of the meetings and it was generally agreed that this method reduced costs enough so that we can market hogs at a profit with lower prices than the eastern farmer, especially since the lighter hog brings the highest prices. Green Manure ‘The practice of plowing under green crops was discussed considerably and with differences of opinion. While some farmers believed it to be of value others had not noticed any re- sults. It probably depends on soil type and the amount of rainfall. Farmers are going to check up on this the coming year so we will have more definite material. Winter Wheat The farmers in the southwestern corner of the county were quite favorable to winter wheat, claiming that cost of production could be ma- terially lowered because of the re- duced labor connected with it. Fail- ures with winter wheat were quite rare when seeded in stubble so it had Protection. Moisture Requirements ‘The question of the moisture re- quired to mature a plant came up in several meetings. Evan Hall informs us that according to Montana data it takes 45,000 ten quart pails of water to mature one ton of Russian thistle; dry matter. Conserving this mois- ture is far more valuable than plow- ing under the green crop. Scale Production At most of the meetings the farm- ers felt that our farms would con- tinue to increase in size, which means that larger scale production is com- ing. With larger farms will also come more summer tillage, as that seems to be the accepted method of controlling weeds under these con- ditions, Large scale corn production will undoubtedly take its place in weed control and listing seems to be better adapted to large acreage. Two other problems, marketing and fall plowing for corn, were discussed somewhat. These problems need more study and will be worked on further next year at the conferences after we have more data to work from. C. H. Plath attended all of these meetings to learn what the hardest problems are so that he can be car- rying on trials, which in addition to farmers’ experiences will do a great deal in developing a better agricul- ture for southwestern North Dakota. Evan Hall, agricultural supervisor for the Milwaukee rallway, also at- tended these meetings to find out what the farmers wanted in the way of railroad service so his company can be of greater benefit, not only now but in the future. MIESEN ORGANIZES THREE MORE CLUBS Moffit Boys to Raise Pigs and Calves; Braddock Boys and Girls, Calves A. R. Miesen, county agent, put in & dayo rganizing juvenile clubs, Wed- nesday. He formed a pig and calf club at Moffit and dairy and beef calf clubs at Braddock, the latter com- Posed of Emmons and Burleigh farm boys and girls. The Moffit pig club numbers ten members. Galen Argast is president; Lawrence Peckens, vice president; and Ray Argast, secretary. The dairy calf club at Braddock has nine members and the local lead- er ‘is Frank Spolenskokowski. Lee Saville is president; Raymond Spo- lonskoskowski, vice president; and Ray Saville, secretary. The beef calf club leader is G. L. Hulett and Robert Eckeny is presi- dent; George Buck, vice president; and Marie Naaden, secretary. Agent Miesen made a trip to Dris- coll before returning home, and bought four bred Poland China gifts fro mE. A. Van Vleet for the Morton township pig club at Prairie Home school. The local leader is Clarl Crawford. . Next Wednesday Set For Court of Honor Bismarck Boy Scouts will meet for their next court of honor at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday, April 3, at St. Mary’s by W. G. Pulton, executive. Picture slides will be shown by Russell Reid and Cleel G, Gannon. First class, second class, and merit badges will be presented at the meet- janson. OF POTATORS, DURUM AND SPRING WHEAT March Prospect Survey Indi- cates Other Crops to Be Planted Greater in N. D. The 1929 acreage of durum wheat will be reduced 963,000 acres, all spring wheat 380,000 acres and po- tato acreage 7,000 acres in North Da- kota if farmers in this state carry out their intentions as expressed in the March prospective acreage sur- vey made annually by Paul C. New- man, state statistician of the division of crop and livestock estimates. In- tended increases in all of the other spring-planted crops are indicated. Spring weather conditions, price changes, labor supply and perhaps this report, as well as other factors will. determine whether these inten- tions will be carried out entirely, The June acreage survey made with the cooperation of postmasters, rural car- riers and star route carriers in the state will show how completely the Present intentions have been ful- The large decfease in both spring wheat and potatoes may be attributed largely to the discouragingly low Prices received for the 1928 produc- tion of these crops. North Dakota farmers intend to plant 10 per cent more corn, 11 per cent more hard wheat, 2 per cent more oats, 20 per cent more barley, 30 per cent more flax and 3 per cent more of all time hay varieties than were grown in 1928. ‘These increases are partly offset by the 19 per cent decrease in durum and 5 per cent decrease in potato acreage, but the total intended acre- age of these seven principal crops shows a 3 per cent increase over the harvested acreage last year. Winter sown rye already has been estimated at 988,000 acres, compared with 1,- 271,200 harvested in 1928. A larger abandonment than usual may well be expected which may boost the pres- ent intended acreage of some crops. However, this will be shown by the June planted acreage which are the bases for estimates of production be- ginning July ist. For the United States The seeded acreage of winter wheat and rye in the United States were estimated in December at 43,- 228,000 and 3,293,000 respectively. These acreages compared with 36,- 179,000 acres of winter wheat and 3,444,000 acres of rye harvested in 1928, Present intentions acreage of the spring crops indicate a slight de- crease in United States corn acre- age, a decided drop in durum of 20 Per cent, a slight decrease in all spring wheat, a one per cent de- crease in oats and a 11 per cent de- crease in potato acreage. Intended acreage of all of the other principal spring planted crops shows in creases. The following details of the North Dakota prospective acreages are given: Rye, 998,000 compared with 1,271,000 in 1928; durum, 4,103,000 compared with 5,066,000 in 1928; spring wheat other than durum, 5,884,000 acres compared with 5,301,- 000 in 1928; all spring wheat, 9,987,- 000 compared with 10,367,000 in 1928; corn, 1,087,000 compared to 997,000 in 1928; oats, 1,973,000 compared with 1,934,000 in 1928; flax, 1,486,000, 1,148,000; potatoes, 134,000, 141,000; all tame hay, 1,098,000, 1,063,000.

MAKE SOME. a ©1929 By NEA Seavce THIS HAS HAPPENED MILDRED LAWRENCE, sten- ographer in the Judson Hotel, has her fox fur snatched from her neck through the train win- dow as the car leaves the station. Rushing back on the next train, she finds a crowd gathers on the station platform and learns that the thief has been caught by STEPHEN ARMITAGE. An officer takes them all to the station house where Mildred iden- tifles her scarf. After the routine details are disposed of, Stephen insists on taking Mildred home. She demurs but does not wish to seem ungrateful, so finally asks him home to dinner, where he gains favor with the mother by praising her home cooking. Mildred's young sister, CO! promptly decides for Stephen and hopes that her old-fashioned sis- ter will mix enough pep and mod- ern methods with her usual quiet manner to hold the newcomer. What promised to be a quiet evening at home was spoiled when PAMELA JUDSON, daughter of Mildred’s employer, .phones and insists on her coming back to the hotel to assist at the Junior League ball. Stephen escorts her and tells her that he had sold an auto to Pamela a short time be- fore, and just as he is leaving Mildred in the lobby, Pamela comes up and recognizes him. ee & NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER II “As I exist, if it isn’t my highpres- sure salesman,” the girl in the red dress exclaimed, coming up to Stephen and grasping him by both hands. Her eyes sparkled brightly, and little, even teeth flashed whitely be- tween her carnation red lips. “I've seen you in and out of the hotel all winter,” she went on ani- matedly, “but I never could catch you. What are you doing here now?” Stephen turned to Mildred. “I came in with Miss Lawrence,” he said. Pamela, for it was she, looked care- lessly over her shoulder. “Oh, hello,” she said to Mildred and ‘lifted her eyebrows. Then smiling slyly, “I understand why you didn’t want to come,” she added. Mildred’s expression did not change but there was impatience in the way she turned to Stephen and said good night. “See you tomorrow.” he reminded her, and though he held Ler hand a second longer than. was necessary his eyes did not follow her Passage down the lobby. Pamela seemed instantly to absorb him. Which was the usual effect Pamela exerted over the males of her acquaintance. A small girl, with Tound, blue eyes that she tried to give ry ape! Magner a by the use of eye low, pouting lips and really beautiful hair, she needed only the things her father's wealth provided for her to create a picture that could not fail to attract the eye. “Come up to the party,” she invited Stephen cordially. “You can wear my brother's things—no, I guess you couldn’t—you must have grown up in California,” she laughed. “But come up anyway. We can have a dance or two before anyone gets here.” **k * Stephen glanced down at his busi- ness suit. Thanks but...” “I want to talk about a new car,” Pamela baited him. “Business is business,” Stephen re- sponded unflatteringly. “But I'll get out before the racket starts.” “The musicians are here now,” Pamele, said as they made their way to the rooms that were reserved for the junior dance. “Something PTA ieslon isy if we're going to “But ne no} we're gol ‘talk business,” Stephen suggested. He could hear the musicians tun- ing up their instruments as they en- tered the reception room. The new, Saxophoneless orchestras that were # it i ty Judson heiress and her friends, the she was shocked at Spend saw. Stephen stood by, accompanying the music with handclapping and foot- tapping. Mildred got over her “Victorian feeling,” as Connie called her reaction to certain things, by reminding her- self that it wasn’t Pamela who was wrong; it was she. Connie always told her she had no snap. “Oh, bother!” Pamela exclaimed when Mildred told her someone wanted to speak to her on the tele- Phone, “Tell them to go fry ice.” She danced on until the music st re Then she skipped away. Pamela never walked except on the street. “Let's have a dance,” Stephen said to Mildred. “Go ahead, boys give us @ good number.” Mildred protested that she didn’t feel like dancing, but when the music began to whine and coax and Stephen came over to take her in his arms she suddenly wanted very much to dance with him. “Hung up,” a petulant voice cried, and, suddenly, “Oh!” Stephen and Mildred danced a few steps. Then the music st abruptly. Mildred looked over at the musicians and saw that Pamela was there saying something to the leader. She moved out of Stephen's arms. Pamela whirled toward them. “Would you mind going to the door, now, Miss Lawrence?” she said coldly. “Someone might slip in.” “I'll trundle along,” Stephen said quickly to cover the awkwardness that hung about them. “Got a busy day tomorrow.” His glance was for Mildred. She did not see it. She had turned away with her chin in the air. * * *& Pamela came over and hung on Stephen's arm. “Don't go,” she coaxed. There won't be anyone here for another hour.” “I have to write a letter to Santa Claus,” Stephen laughed. “Sore because I stopped your dance with Miss Lawrence?” Pamela chal- lenged outright. “I dare say we'll have another,” Stephen retorted, but who shall say that he was angry To have a girl like Pamela interfering in his affairs was nothing to shrivel his pride. He ee ee ee felt it. “Well, I really do want to talk to you about a new car,” Pamela urged. fone I've burned out the bear- a “And I've smashed a headlight and there’s a hole in the body and the brakes are going and a couple of springs are broken and .. .” “What did you do? Try to shove & locomotive off the track? You women drivers 3 “Have lunch with me tomorrow,” Pamela broke in. “And bring all the Pictures of your latest models. Cars I mean.” Stephen agreed. He could ask Mil- dred to lunch with him another time. He hadn't sold a car in a long while. Maybe Miss Judson was serious about wanting. @ new model, Old D. A. M. was getting nippity of late. Criticizing, too. Claimed good night to Mildred and her again that he would see her in the morning. She understood that he meant in re- gard to some work but a gladsome little voice hinted that he undoubtedly would repeat his invitation to lunch tH il a ir : cs ‘West of the vidia a we y mans that the reverse is the case.
