J. Dexter, agricultural agent of the Northern Pacific railway, ‘was made when a carlot entry of 53 lambs, bred, fed and exhibited by the North Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo, won the award at the Interna- tional Livestock show at Chicago as the best of a large number of entries from the United States. “North Dakota's diversification program, inaugurated in the last few years, has been justified further by this reserve championship,” Mr. Dex- ter said. “This award is one more proof that North Dakota farmers ‘were on the right track when they in- ‘creased the number of sheep and Jambs on their farms from 203,000 in 1922 to 582,000 by January 1 this year, an increase of more than 100 per cent.” Mr. Dexter pointed out that the agricultural development department of the Northern Pacific, with the co- operation of the Agricultural credit corporation of Minneapolis, has Placed more than 100,000 western cwes in small flocks with farmers along the lines of the railway in North Dakota and northern Minne- sota in the last five years. He em- Phasized that North Dakota farm flock owners now are supplying St. development Paul and Chicago as well as_ their; Jocal markets with large numbers of choice lambs. These lambs are com- ing from ewes of the type and kind that champions . ‘The lambs which won the Chicago award bring wide attention to the adaptability of North Dakota's home- grown feeds and its climate to a pro- gram of market lamb production in farm flocks, Mr. Dexter continued. ‘The winners were raised and fattened on home-grown feeds. Because of the farmers’ inclination to diversify in North Dakota, the state college is directing its attention toward finding new information to further that pro- gtam under local conditions. ‘Trifling lack of uniformity in size «| log. and weight alone kept the North Da: ‘Marcel Silver, who directed “ Fox | kota entry from the grand champion- ship, which was awarded to a Cana- dian entry. ‘The lambs of the best United States entry were the product of certain ex- perimental work at the college, con- ducted to determine whether it ts profitable to breed ewe lambs rather than hold them over until 18 months of age before breeding. For the pur- pose of this experiment, Mr. Dexter selected in Montana in the fall of 1927 a carload of range ewe lambs ‘and shipped them to the college at Hampshire ram.

Half of the ewe lambs which figur- ed in the experiment were put into the breeding pens the first fall, while the other half were held open until the fall of 1928. Both Southdown and Hampshire bucks were used. The carlot entry that was declared to be the best in the United States repre- sented the top individuals from this year’s lamb crop from the college ex- perimental ewes. Under the super- vision of D. J. Griswold, of the ani- mal husbandry department of the college, the prize winners had been fed and bred. Late in the show week at Chicago they were sold for 23 cents a pound to the dining car department of an eastern railroad. The 53 head brought more than $1,100, which represented @ handsome profit over the cost of extra feed and care. tf ° | AT THE MOVIES CAPITOL THEATRE In the palmiest days of musical comedy or light operetta more than one song hit that lingered in memory was unusual. In “Married In Hollywood.” a Fox Movietone musical romance, there are nine distinctive song hits, one of which “Dance Away the Night,” with music by Dave Stamper and lyrics by Harlan Thompson, is destined to sur- pass in popularity “The Merry Widow Waltz” of a generation ago. The same composers have evolved another tuneful number, “Until One Comes Along,” which will run “Dance Away the Night” a close race for pop- ularity. a And still a third entrancing num- ber is “Deep in Love,” with music by Oscar Straus and lyrics by Harlan ‘Thompson. “Married In Hollywood” is based on the operetta by Oscar Straus. Harlan ‘Thompson wrote the story and dia- Follies of 1929.” directed “Married In Hollywood,” which comes to the Cap- itol theatre starting tomorrow, Tues- day. The presenting cast is notable from the fact that four former stars of musical comedy and opera are featured. J. Harold Murrey, for more than two years singing star of the original “Rio Rita” company; Norma Terris, beautiful star for 72 weeks of ‘Show- boat;” Walter Catlett, star of a dozen musical comedies and Irene Palasty, beautiful and youthful Hungarian domma and the toast of Berlin during her long engagement in the stellar role of “No, No, Nanette,” form the brilliant quartet of principals. Not second in importance to the principals are the ensembles com- of a singing chorus of 100 and ‘ing group of 60, which were ed by Edward Royce, interna- tionally famous stage director.

Under certain conditions the treatments have reduced rotting of seed pleces in the ground. The larger yield and cleaner potatoes have usu- ally been obtained from treated seed. In soils infested with the scab and scurf-producing organisims the treat- ments have not yet given complete disease control. + pct | Farm Facts \ pe er ag, From North Dakota Agricultural College To prevent tularemia infection from dressing sick rabbits, wear rub- ber gloves.

A. Munro, state inspector of nurseries and entomologist at the North Dakota Agricultural college. In several instances th2 nurseries ‘are doing business on a carload scale, points out Mr. Munro. Shipments of | nursery stock are being made to out- ; lof-state points as well as within the | state. ‘The laws of North Dakota require that nurseries have inspection for in- jurtous insect pests and diseases. So! far inspections have indicated that nurseries are comparatively free from these pests, and where they are found steps are taken to clean up.
