| ! 2 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1932 NORTHWESTERN AND PALCONER ARE BEST VARIETIES FOR NX. D. Strain of Corn Developed by Bismarck Firm Recogniz- ed as Leader Northwestern, a red semident, and Falconer, a yellow semi-dent, are the two most popular and widely adapted varieties of corn grown in North Da- | kota, The kernels of both Northwestern and Falconer vary from true flints to true dents, the most desirable type being a semident. Both varieties are leafy, sucker abundantly, and grow from 4 1-2 to 6 feet tall. The recognized strains of North- western, according to H. L. Walster, chief agronomist, include the O. H. ‘Will and company strain (first cata- loged in 1896); the Mandan strain se-! lected at the Northern Great Plains Field Station at Mandan; the Dickin- son strain selected at the Dickinson substation; the Crookston strain se-) lected at the branch experiment sta- tion at Crookston, Minn,; and tho Amenia strain selected from the orig- inal O. H. Will and company strain by the Amenia-Sharon Land company, | formerly of Amenia. In six years trials at Fargo, the Mandan strain led in grain produc- | tion followed closely by the Ameniaj strain and the O. H. Will and com-/ pany strain. In a nine-year (1922-1930) test at Dickinson, a strain selected by the Dickinson station returned an aver- age annual yield of 23 bushels to the acre, the Mandan strain 22.3 bushels and the Amenia strain 20.6 bushels, | Falconer and the early strains of} Northwestern such as the O. H, Wili and company strain, the Mandan strain and the Dickinson are recom- mended for general use in the state, The Crookston strain ts recom- mended for trial in the northern counties, The Amenia strain should be limited to the southeastern coun- ties. — — a . me | AT THE MOVIES o¢——_——__—____——? | CAPITOL THEATRE Ronald Colman has a theory that an actor goes stale both on himself and on his public if he sticks too long | to one kind of play or picture, That is why “Arrowsmith,” Samuel Gold- wyn’'s film version of the world-fam- ous novel by Sinclair Lewis, coming to the Capitol Theatre on Monday, is entirely different from anything Ron- ald Colman has been seen in for the last two years, sharp, gripping real- ism instead of the melodrama ot “The Unholy Garden” and the com- edy of “Raffles” and “The Devil to Pay.” In fact he has even figured out the cycle of different kinds of pro- ductions through which the actor's career must run if he is to do right by the public and himself. Comedy, melodrama, serious drama, romance— those are the various stages, and then back again. That is why he is think- ing of doing a light romance now that “Arrowsmith” is finished. It implies, of course that the actor in question 1s versatile enough to get away with all four kinds of acting. But his past career seems to indicate that if any- one is that versatile, Ronald Colman is. Layout of Garden Should be Drawn Out to Scale to be Satisfactory Edt Note: This is the sec- ond of a series dealing with vege- table gardens. By A. F. YEAGER Horticulturist, North Dakota Agri- cultural College In planning your farm garden this spring, don’t overlook your needs for canning and storing next fall, Of course, the firat thought of most gar- deners is to produce a crop of fresh vegetables just as early as possible in the spring. But why not grow a garden this year that will yield plen- ty of these early table products this spring and, in addition, provide an abundant supply of vegetables for canning and storing for use during} the rest of the year? ‘A good many gardeners are outlin- ing just such a program and it goes without saying that their living ex- penses are going to be reduced by just that much, not to mention the im- portance of this policy from the Standpoint of family health. And by the way, remember that early spring is not the only time when the garden can be made to fur- nish radishes, onions, peas and all the other fresh-from+the-garden delica- cies which we all enjoy. By practicing a system of planting at intervals, it is possible to obtain fresh, tender veg- etables well into the summer. Put Facts on Paper Old hands at the gardening game have found that it pays to put thei> garden plans down on paper. A list is made up of all the vegetables want- ed and the amount of each that will be needed, The layout of the garden then is actually drawn out to scale. each crop baing located so that those requiring the same planting date and similar care are placed together. This idea not only insures the planting of the proper amount of vegetables to meet the family needs but also makes it possible for the garden to be man- aged easier. On farms where there is plenty of room for the garden, the rows of the various enough apart to permit cultivation crops may be spaced far with the regular horse drawn cultiva- tor, except such crops as*radishes and lettuce which require little space and little cultivation. If cultivation with hand tools is preferred, the space be- tween rows may be much narrower. If; space is limited, further room in the garden may be conserved by setting tomatoes, ground cherries and similar plants in the radish and letture rows before these early crops are off. The radishes and lettuce will be out of the way before the transplanted crops need the space. Variety Is Important Getting the right variety of a vege- table is much more important than js the location of the seed house from which it comes because in many cases nearly all of the seed for the whole world is produced in a few localities. Cauliflower and cabbage seed, for in- stance, 1s mainly imported from Eu- rope. Some seed houses may sell in- ferior seed but most of them are per- fectly reliable. In one respect the seed houses close by have an advant- age. They are likely to handle only varieties which do well in their lo- cality and the buyer will be less likely to pick unsuitable kinds than from a California or New York seed cata- log. Figure Out Your Needs Before Planting Garden STEADY BUSINESS | PROGRESS I NOTED Retailers Are Not Taking Large Quantities of Merchan- dise, However Conservative progress characterizes |the current trend of commercial de- velopments in most parts of the Unit- ed States, according to the latest weekly business review prepared by R. G, Dun and company. Although retailers are not inclined to take large quantities of seasonal merchandise, buying of apparel, dry goods and furnishings is gaining mo- mentum, with the lowest prices re- corded in years quoted on some items. Cool and rainy weather during the early part of the week slowed down sales, to some extent, but during the day that followed demand recovered to such an extent that some of the larger retail stores put in re-orders for a number of their best sellers, which generally are found in the lower ana medium-priced brackets. Footwear has been showing up well, with sales, as a whole, comparing fav- orably with those of a year ago. Mil- linery has been active and men’s clothing and furnishings are moving better, largely the result of extensive advertising and wide reduction in prices. On the whole, the movement of spring merchandise has not increase2 to the level of normal seasonal activ- ity, due chiefly to the unfavorable weather, but a few bright warm days are expected to remove this obstacle to encouraging gains in distributive totals. The tremendous drive being made by the automobile industry already is making its influence felt, and the gen- eral movement to relieve unemploy- ment has resulted in thousands men being placed on regular or part- time positions. STUDENTS 10 ENTER Livestock, Poultry, and Crop Judging Events Planned May 11 to 14 Fargo, N. D., April 19.—Vocational agricultural high school students from the Smith-Hughes schools of North Dakota will compete for honors and prizes at the annual livestock, poul- try, and crop judging contest held during the Silver Anniversary Inter- High School May Festival at the Ag- ricultural college, May 11 to 14, in- clusive, To the team having the largest number of points in the entire agri- cultural contest @ traveling plaque will be awarded, according to Prof. Edward H. Jones, state supervisor of agricultural education, Three large silk and 27 smaller ban- ners, and 27 individual medals will go to meke up the list of other prizes offered to the contesting teams and CONTESTS AT A. 6. | MANDAN NEWS | ECONOMY PROGRAM FOR 1931-32 BEGUN BY MANDAN BOARD Would Involve a Saving of Ap- proximately $10,000; Sal- aries Are Reduced A retrenchment program for 1932- 33 involving a saving in school ex- penditures of approximately $10,000 over 1931-32 was adopted by the Man- dan school board Saturday night. Under tentative plans several teachers will be eliminated, the Cus- wage cut, averaging about 7% per cent, imposed. Consideration was given to the eli- mination of the agricultural and home economic departments but final ac- tion was postponed until May 9, J. C. Gould, city superintendent of schools, said there was a possibility federal aid to these departments would be withdrawn. If this is done, their removal from the school curricu- lum seems certain, he said. Many of the teachers in both grade |School and high schools were reelect- ed, but members of the board refused to make the list public until final ac- tion on all faculty members was made. Attach Special Clause Proposals, advanced by state tax- payers associations in the state to re- duce assessed valuations on real estate from 175 to 60 per cent, led the board jto attach special clauses to contracts this year, Gould said. It was felt that if the measure becomes law there will be insufficient funds to operate the schools over a nine-month period. As a result emergency clauses have been added to all contracts pro- viding for a seven-month schcol term in the event the iaw passes. Total operating expenses in the Mandan schools are expected to be-ap- proximately $60,000 for the ensuing year, according to estimates made by the board. This figure is about $20,- 000 less than the operating total two years ago. |. Wage cuts are to be based on salar- |4es, Gould said, with the more high- jly paid faculty members getting the \greater reductions, Operating expenses were cut from | $82,912,29 in 1929-30 to $78,168.32 in | 1930-31, according to official reports jon file with the county auditor. ter grade school closed, and » faculty | Figures for the current year will not be available until the close of the school term but they are expected to show a further reduction of approxi- mately $3,000, To Close School The item expected to result der consideration for several years because of the steady decrease in en- rollment resulting from a shifting to St. Joseph's parochial school. From an attendance of 47 a year ago the enrollment has dropped to 27. Oper- ation of the school costs approxi- mately $3,500 annually and members of the board said the attendance did not justify the expenditure. Gould said the economy program was undertaken by the school board on its own initiative and was not the result of a plan being considered by the Mandan Taxpayer's Association. He said that the sentiment of the board was strongly against the pro- posal to reduce assessed valuations. It js felt that such a measure would cripple the schools not only in Man- dan but in the rural districts through- out the county. Members of the school board are W. H. Vallency, president, Mrs, B. F. Nickerson, E. A. Ripley, J. I. Rovig, and H. H. Warren. Officers Elected by Mandan Garden Club Katherine Kraft was elected presi- dent of the Mandan Garden club a: its organization meeting. Wilfred Larson was named vice president and John Kary, secretary. R. C. New- comer, Morton county agent, led the organization work. The club, which plans to outline a program for the year at a meeting goon, was suggested by Newcome: when the Mandan City Garden cam- paign was started recently. It is & unit of the county 4-H clubs and is to be conducted along lines similar te \those in the rural districts. Mandan Legion Men Want Dry Law Vote Members of the Gilbert 8. Furness post of the American Legion, Man- dan, who attended a meeting here ‘Monday night, voted unanimously in) favor of immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates. About 100 members were present. Forty-five of the men at last night's meeting were not among the 128 who attended a meeting two weeks ago at which the vote also was unanimous for payment. The Legion- naires unanimously concurred’ and approved in @ resolution for a refer- endum on prohibition. Funeral Rites Held For Mandan Woman Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at St. Joseph’s Catholic church for Mrs. Margaret Sagmiller, 65, who died at her home Saturday from the complications of heart dis- ease, She had been a resident of Mandan for ne=zly 40 yee=3.
