FRENCH OPINION ON
ALGECIRAS CONFERENCE
Paris,. Jan. 17.—Public opinion
is greatly divided relative to the
probable result of the Algeciras
conference... The diplomats are
more inclined to take an opti
mistic view, believing that the
delegates will reach a definite
concli^slon by means of mutual
concessions. It is stated in offl
da! quarters that France will
stand firm relative to her prepon
:. derating influence in the sultan's
dominions, while at the same time
respecting his sovereignty. There
is an inclination toward the adop
tion of the most liberal view of the
commercial rights of qther powers
and it is haiped to thus.secure
definite settlement of the whole
question.

appears to be a lull in the rumors of
appointment of a succesor to th# of

Leech lake Indian-agency, to succeed
Major Scott, resigned.
The latest rumor, which is supposed
to be fairly authentic, is to the effect
that Simon Michelet, who has acted as
agent at the White ESarth agency for
several years, will be retained as agent
for White Earth, but will also be
given the charge of the Leech lake
agency and be remoVed from White
Earth to Onigum. This latter proposi
tion hardly seems practicable, as there
Is enough work to fully occupy the
time of one agent, at Onigum, and {he
additional work at White Earth would
entail more duties than any one person

Fargo, N. D„ Jan. ^7.—Special.—
The first day of the Tri-State grain
growers' convention was devoted ex
clusively to the discussion of agri
cultural matters, and the papers read
and the discussions had were especi
ally strong. The keynote of all the
speeches and papers was the advant
age of crop rotation, and the saving
of the present richness of the soil by
means of clover or Boine other crop
that will put large quantities of
bumic back into the land.
A splendid paper on maccaronl
wheat which was prepared by Samuel
Glover, was read by President Worst
in the absence of the writer. The dis
cussion of this paper/ was opened by
L. 0. Ueland of Edgeley, who gave a
strong practical talk on the advan
tages of this, wheat over both blue
stem and Scotch' fife. The yield is
much larger than either of the other
varieties. This year there were 7,
792,250 bushels of durum, wheat pur
chased in'Duluth, and of this 7,592,
000 bushels were exported. Duluth
qiarkets only had a range of light
cuts between number one northern
and durum this year, against a mar
gin of 20 cents last year.
Professor Spilltnan, who is chief of
the bureau of farm management of the
department of agriculture, in prefac
ing his own speech of the afternoon,
told of how the Miller's, Journal had
fought the introduction of this wheat
and how when two loaves of bread,
one from. durum and the other from
ordinary spring wheat, were sent to

Lebouff attended a dance at Neigh

dance they captured the man and
while one held him the other soaked

refused to attempt to decide which
was durum and which was not.
President Worst told how in his
investigation he had written Consul
General Skinner of France for infor
mation and that he had stated that
if the right kind Of grain.berry could
be produced, there would be a great
market in southern Europe for all that
could raised in America. President
Worst sent to France for some seed
of the variety that was being grown
there for the market and found it
much below the North Dakota pro
ducts. President Worst believes that
the adoption of durum wheat as a
regular crop will increase the pro
ducing capacity of the North Dakota
wheat lands from 26 to 30 per cent.
He also believes it should be special
ized along two lines: one the kind
that is used in° the manufacture of
maccaroni, and the' other for bread
purposes.
The subject of Professor Spillman's
afternoon discourse was "Rotation of
Crops," and for more than an hour
and a half he pictured conditions in
various parts of the country where
farm lands had been ruined because
of the one crop method of farming. He
spoke particularly of the Willamette
valley where he had been' connected
with an experiment station for sev
eral years. This valley was originally
rich in vegetable producing elements
and for forty years after its settle
ment it produced immense crops of
wheat. Then it began to fail, with

The Evening Times representative
met Hon. B. Lepper, a big farmer and
rancher from Dickinson while \t the
Tri-State convention Tuesday, and for
more than an Hour he discussed the
present and past conditions and future
prospects of the Missouri slope. He
'said:,
"I have lived in that country for
seventeen years and an pretty well ac
quainted with its conditions, and I
know its past as well, and judging
from these, I am confident there is no
part of the state with such a bright
future before it. I know when I say.
this, that the territory around Dickin
son is regarded as worthless by many
people in the eastern part of the state.
But it has been artificial conditions
and misrepresentations that have pro
duced this feeling. You will be told
that the territory is dry, and there has
been a slight foundation for this.
"The vast stretches of wild land
west of us have been the scene of vast
prairie fires for years, and this con
stant burning of the grass has left
the prairies barren ahd as a result
they have been dry. Now as the terri
tory I speak of has been settled and
broken these fires are far less fre
qilent and in a short-time will cease
entirely, and our moisture will then
be conserved so that the term dry will
no longer apply.
"We have one of the finest soils in
the state and it is producing just as
good crops as any other where it re
ceives the proper cultivation, But
mapy. of our people do not realize the
importance of good farming, ahd they
^re simply putting the seed on the
ground and depending -upon nature to
do the work. They do not plow the
land, simply disc and then have it har
rowed by a boy barely able to drive
the teani, but entirely unable to lift
the harrow to clean it of weeds and
other' filth. Great patches have the
seed .left on the ground, and the cropB
are correspondingly poor. This is
what leaves the Impression that the
country Is dry. But where the land
|s properly plotred and the proper seed
bed te' formed, there are no better

struggling to get back its lost vigor.
But with crop failures came hard
times for the farmers and the work of
the loan companies.
The farmers turned to dairying and
now that land is yielding bigger in
comes than it did when it was pro
ducing its biggest wheat crops. The
impoverished condition of the farmers
of the south who have' depended en
tirely upon one crop farming, was
cited as another instance where the
vitality of the soil is exhausted by
taking all and giving nothing. He ad
vocated a rotation that would give
more nitrogen to the soil and at the
same time prevent the fouling of the
land by weeds which adopt them
selves to the particular crop, growing
and ripening with it and then spread
ing the seeds every year. Rotation
of crops, especially of alfalfa, was not
only restoring these lands but is mak
ing money for the owners while it
is being done.
He condensed the advantages of
rotation under the following terse
heads:
It avoids summer fallowing.
It distributes the farm labor over
the entire year instead of having it
all in a bunch, and thus largely solves
the question of farm labor.
By the special vitality put In the soil
by rotation, bigger crops of wheat are
grown in the wheat years.
It gets rid of many weeds which
adapt their life and seedtime to the
crops with which they grow.

and Minister Giimmere had gone over
the present situation in Morocco re

When the conference shall have
agreed on regulations for the punish

"Some of these people say they can
rent their farms in the older states
for three dollars cash and can make
as much'in our part of North Dakota
as they could working their own land.
"Land varies in price. Many of the
homesteaders who got their land for
what they consider nothing, would
hold $5 and $6 a big price, while the
unbroken prairie is selling for 910 to
$15, and the land is no better. There
is this advantage, though, that the
person buying it can file on a home
stead near by and thus get double the
number of acres for the price. This
land is thirty and more miles from the
railroads, and. many prefer to pur-'
chase the land nearer market at a
