Hy Corn.
First Prize.
Upon entry as a contestant in the
Dickey County Pupils Corn growing
contest, I received from Superintendent
Lovell six hundred kernels of Minne
sota No. 13, Yellow Dent seed corn.
In selecting the ground I chose a plot,
that was protected from the north
western winds by a hedge of trees. It
was also protected from the northern
winds by a hill as it was planted on the
southeastern slope of this hill on ac
count «f this slope the ground was
warmer as the sun's rays fell on it more
directly. This ground had been pre
viously manured for other crops.
After locating the plot the ground
was first pktwod five inches deep and
harrowed twice. This was done about
the twentieth of May. I then planted
the corn in rows 3x3} feet apart drop
ping by hand three kernels to a hill
nearly all of which germinated. As
soon as the blades appeared I hoed the
corn an^ when about six inches tall
cultivated it twice and hoed it several
times afterwards to keep the weeds
down.
During the drought this summer
watered the plqjt five or six times from
the last of June through July. While
watering my corn I mixed a solution of
two ounces of saltpetre to six quarts of
water. sprinkling this on about two
fifths of the plot This gave nitrogen
to the soil and produced a more vigor
ous growth. This corn became much
taller than the portion not treated. It
also produced earlier, larger and better
filled ears. I bad* from three to five
ears to the hill to this portion against
none or one or two unripe nubbins on
the untreated portion.
In all I raised about three bushels of
unhusked corn of which fuUy two-thirds
was taken from the two-fifths of plot
treated with saltpetre. My exhibit
was chosen from the ears that grew on
.this portion.. 1 husked my corn Sept
ember 17th and it waa thoroughly dried
in a dry, shady place before sending it
to the Commercial Club of Oakes.
I think that we contestants have
gained enough experience in corn grow
ing so Dickey county will think it pays
to have its Children's Corn' Growing
contest nnndaUy.

a:
planted my corn on May twenty-first.
It was planted in rows, three feet apart
each way. I planted one hundred hills,
planting four kernels to the hill. Out
of the one hundred hills, ninety-nine
grew. Ten days afterwards, the little
plant made its first appearance above
ground. I raked and hoed it June
fourth, June eleventh, June eighteenth
and June twenty-fifth.
The first appearance of silking was
on July sixteenth. The firot appear
ance of tasseling was on the ninth of
July. About forty-five days after silk
ing it was ripe.
The first killing frost was on the
eighth of September. The height of the
stalks was six feet and three inches.
The height of ears above ground was
two feet. There was one ear to the
stalk.
Weather conditions were very dry.
First rain after planting was in the
middle of June the second rain was on
the thirteenth of July third rain was
on the fourteenth and fifteenth of Aug
ust
It was gathered on the twenty-ninth
of September and was weighed on the
first of October weighing six^y-eight
pounds.
If all the farmers would be as inter
ested as I in raising corn, I think they
would have good corn.
—Mabel Peterson,
The complaint against Jahr was made
by John Rossman of Glover, who al
leges that on Oct. 10th, defendant took
a load of wheat that did not belong to
him to Clement and sold it. There are
several stories out in regard to the
affair, and The Times will not attempt
to print any of them. The case is now
in the courts and there it can be settled.
Paper Changes Hands.
Ldj«t Monday Mr. E. M. Culver,
of^hneapolis, took possesion ^of "tHe
Sargant County Independent at Forinan.
This paper was purchased by The Times
editor sixteen months ago. Shortly
after the Whole equipment was over
hauled, new type added and power
presses supplanted the Washington
hand and foot power presses.. The
plant with real estate invoiced at over
$3,700.
In the transfer The Times man came
in possession of a good quarter section
of land in Kidder county. The exper
ience of running two newspapers is
ours—'but it is too strenuous work to
keep at very many years at a time.
One newspaper iB enough for any man,
if he will attend to it right
Chiravari Party.
On Tuesday of last week Clyde
Chamberlin discovered that plans were
under way to make bim and his bride
the victims of anold-fashined chiravari.
So much did they enjoy the discovery
that their would-be tormentors let
j£hem think how easily they escaped un
til Tuesday of this week furnished a
dark night Then with plenty of ar
tillery the attacking party, its num
bers somewhat diminished by the sick
ness of wives and children and other
causes, met at the home of I. A. Fer
guson from which point scouts were ad
vanced to report the situation. Clyde
was very buay that evening ahelving
his pantry, presumably and did not re
tire until late. Hence it was 10:30 be
fore the invaders took possession of the
outposts and some time later before
the fortress was entered. When the
cannonading subsided Clyde sent word
that''they'd be down right away" so
the invaders sent their guns to the
rear and waited.
Soon the groom descended the stairs,
favored his captors with a solo on the
piano, and again dissapeared upstairs.
Shortly he entered, introducing Mrs.
Chamberlin and her visiting sister, Mrs.
Barthing. Hardly had congratulations
began ere the groom was heard build
inga fire in ithe kitchen. Then Charley
Johnson became master of ceremonies
and the bridal couple were presented
with a little token of the good will of
the company to which they made fitting
responses. Good cheer reigned su
preme, a delicious luncheon served by
Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlin and Mrs,
Barthing, was .done ample justice by all
and a treaty of peace was signed by
the terms of which the conquerors- .va
cated the fortress, amid cordial invita
tions tocomeagain.
Ike Ferguson and FVed Low were
scouts, Albert Johnson and Rosa Hut
sinpiUer were introduced as speakera
and everyone took it upon himaelf or
heraelf to furnish noise and good chew
enough to go around.

Prairie Press: Rev.C. W. Samuel
son has resigned the pastorate of the
Oakes—White Stone Hill charge and
accepted a call to the West Sveadahl—
Little Cottonwood charge in southern
Minnesota, the change to take effect
some time next February.
Rev. Samuelson has been a faithful
and diligent worker in this part of the
Lord's Vineyard and will be greatly
missed from this charge. He began
his work at Oakes on Christmas Day,
1904, where he worked three years be
fore coming to Gwinner.

White Stone Hill in 1908 the Gwinner
church at that time being located
li
mUes out of town. The North church

community, itb membership numbering
about 200 persons.
,'
Presbyterians Meet,
The Presbyterian ministerS 'of Oakes
Presbytery, that territory included by
the seyen southeastern counties of our
state, convened for their faU meeting
at Enderlin on Tuesday of last week.
Most encouraging reports of the Pres
byterian work was brought in. A num
ber of new churches have been organ
ized during the past year and the old
fields are more.fully manned and per
fectly equipped than ever before in the
history of the Presbytery.
On Thursday of the same week the
Synod 'of North Dakota was opened at
Minot and continued over Sunday.
Perhaps.a hundred of the Presbyterian
ministers of the state were gathered
together in this meeting to confer
about the work of the state as a whole
and to listen to inspirational addresses
by representatives of the various de
partments of the church life. Rev. E.
Morris Ferguson of New York and
Dr. James Wallace, President of Msc
ales ter College, Minneapolis, addressed
the gathering in behalf of the work of
the Sunday School. The work of the
board' of Home Missions was presented
by Rev. J. T. Henderson of Minne
apolis and that of the board of Foreign
Missions by Rev. Chas. E. Bradt, D.D.
of Chicago.
Much emphasis .was laid upon the
educational work of the Synod through
the Presbyterian College at Jamestown.
That institution has prospered wonder
fully during its first year and gives
every promise of becoming a great
power in the educational life of the
state.
The Woman's Synodical Society of
the state convened at the same time,
bringing about twenty-five more dele
gates to the Magic City. AI1 were
splendidly cared for and came away in
vigorated and inspired with new cour
age and hope for the work of another
year.
Prof. Eaton Back.
H. F. Eaton arrived home Saturday
from his extended visit east He
stopped oif a while on his way home at
Elgin, 111., with his daughter, Mrs. Geo.
Cochrane, where he found his wife vis
iting and where he left her. The judge
had a splendid time in the New Eng
land ststes. He attended his school re
union. His old pupils are always glad
to. see him and never tire of doing
things for him.
The professor is especially pleased at
the result of the election in Maine.
Gov. Plaisted will be the first demo
cratic governor the State of Maine has
had fifty-five years. The house and
senate are both democratic and will
elect a democratic U. S. senator. Just
to show the turn of affaira in that
state. Two years ago only one county
elected a democratic sheriff—this year
all were democratic but three. The is
auea of the campaign were both local
snd national, the same as ia being
waged in all atates of the Union. Theo

land atatee, and wouU not cany a
