Mr. Richmond plays 20.16 and wins along that line of play, while the Oraphic checker editor takes the 18.14, 10.17 exchange for his route.

The North Dakota Educational As sociation has its annual meeting this year at Minot. This is the first time in the history of the state that this gathering has met in this section. It htg usually met at Fargo and Grand Forks except last year when it met at Valley City. All teachers, patrons, school boards, and the general public who are interested in the schools should make it a point to attend if pos sible. The dates of the meeting are Dec. 28, 29, 30 and 31. Below is a program of the Department of Elem entary Education. This department will be of the greatest interest and benefit to the great majority of the teachers of the county. The complete program of all the departments will be published as soon as received. Department of Elementary Educa tion. Wednesday, Dec. 29, a. m. ((All themes in this program will be treated in inspirational talks of The station irrigated about 70 acres of land this season. This land consisted of-meadow, w^eat, oats, po tatoes, alfalfa, brome grass, sugar beets and garden. The total amount of water used, as given by U. 8. reclamation sertice, was approximate ly 45 acre feet This quantity of water is unusually small, but the crops were given all the water that they could use. The abundance of rain was the sole factor in using such small amount of irrigation water. The experiments were planned and the crops were sown by Supt. Scholland er, but the application of the water was left to the discretion of Mr. A. M. Hawley, appointed by the U. S. gov ernment for that purpose.

What? ing, some Interesting data was ob tained. Two varieties of sugar beets were grown, both did remarkably well and it surely is an indication that they can be grown successfully if properly handled.. Six plats of alfalfa were prepared, by throwing up levees on all sides of the plats and the ground leveled within. The alfalfa was sown during the spring of 1909. Two plats each were irrigated respec tively with 24.6 inches of water, to note what effect the different amounts of water would have upon the alfalfa. Each set of plats were irrigated with a similar amount of water on July 29,. Aug. 2,-Aug. 16, and Sept. 14. It is expected that the season of 1910 will give results.
