W. E. Borene Presented Rotarians With Beautiful Tie*

W. E. Borene, manager of the M. G. Olson Co., presented each member of the Rotary with a beautiful neck­tie, made up in the Rotary colors, blue and gold, which will be worn by them at Duluth, March 16 and 17. at the convention of the 15th district.

Mr. Borene l-ead the paper at Mon­day's luncheon, telling all about how clothing is made, giving some valu­able information that few people not .engaged in the clothing business know. So many people fear that it is impossible to get a suit that fits well unless it is made by a custom tailor. It is possible, for instance, to have one's measurement taken and net a suit from such a concern as Kuppenheimer, that fits perfectly. Each suit is cut out separately by the world's greatest experts and the ma­terials are those that have stood the test. The materials are pre-shrunk by a perfect process which insures the clothing keeping its shape. Few know th'at- the buttons for coats, vests jnd overcoats are manufactured from South American nuts.

John Howard, who will have charge vf the Rotary singing in Duluth took the members thru their paces, show-1

jd them how to stand up, take their ilands out of their pockets, throw

•out their chests and sing. Ed Shirley .reported 31 members'

who had already decided on going to Duluth.

Turks Seek Hopp&rs, Not Farmers' Grain

Fargo, N. D.—Charges of petty lar­ceny against scores of North Dakota turkeys that fit themselves annually for the Thanksgiving Day sacrifice by foraging in grainfields must be withdrawn, following substantial proof that turkeys seek insects and not grainr on their foraging expedi­tions, according to O. A. Barton, poul­try specialist, Agricultural College, who commented today oh results of investigations about what turkeys eat.

"There is the added proof furnished by Charles Hoffman of Palermo, stated Mr. Barton, "who killed a tur­key for dinner last fall and whose curiosity led him to open and to ex­amine the Tom's crop. The turkey was one of a flock ithat had had free range on a large grain field. In the-crop were found, the remains of 240 grasshoppers, 50 black crickets, and 9 kernels of grain."

Turkey raising has developed into a profitable sideline on many North Dakota farms, according to Mr. Bar­ton. One of many examples during the past year is the record of Lewis Long of Bantry, N. D., whose turkey crop of last year yielded an income of $100 for each individual of the ori­ginal flock in spring.

Farmers of St. Thomas Purchase Jersey Bull

Cavalier, N. D.—Farmers of the St. Thomas neighb | hood, who recent­ly purchased a carload of Jersey cows and heifers, have formed a bull club, according to Gountyf Agent jE. G, Parizek.

They have purchased a purebred bull from the famous Page Farms Jersey herd of Hamilton, and ithis bull will be tised jointly by the mem­bers. This cooperative action makes possible the securing of a much bet­ter bred bull than any individual farmer could afford. In addition to the carload of Jereeys shipped in, the county agent has .helped a number of farmers of that neighborhood to secure purebred and grade Jerseys, the community having planned to spe­cialize in this particular breed.

Winter Egg Record Makes Big Jump Carrington, N. D.—As an. example

of what poultry culling coupled with better care and feeding, will do, take the case of Mrs. William Wiltschko of Carrington:

Mrs. W'iltschko's flock of 109 hens produced 11 eggs in November, '1920, and eight in December. The flock was culled the next summer -and started into winter quarters 146 in number.

In November", 1921, the flock pro­duced 259 eggs; in December it pro­duced 880; in January it produced 768, with' the number of hens re­duced to 142. The higher prices se­cured for the winter laid eggs al­ready has netting Mrs. Wiltschko a good proportion of 'the total profits of the entire previous year.

Things to do in March Make a window box for starting

plants, such as egg plants, tomatoes and peppers, that are easily injured by frost and that require more than the normal North Dakota outdoor growing season to ripen their crop. A shallow box, one or two feet square, placed in a window where it will get the sunlight and will not freeze, will gain several weeks in earliness for these plants. Fill the box with rich earth, mixing in some well rotted manure; arid sand to keep the soil from packing, if it can be obtained rfeadily. Sow the seed thinly and cover one "quarter inch. Thin to three inches each way. Early cabbage, cauliflower, head lettuce and celery also rilay be sown this way. <

Two Farming Of fe r s When everything seems at low ebb opportuni­

ties are always greatest. This is no doubt the case with agriculture in North Dakota. Here are two propositions which will bear immediate in­spection :

No. 1. RENTA L. We have a trad of about 440acres, live miles from the city of Minot; 306 acres fenced, (0 acres under cultivation; plenty of shade and running wa­ter, which we will rent either for the coming season or for a term of years. Properly handled the pasture privi­leges alone should bring in $1000. a year.

No. 2. PURCHASE. For a very limited time we can furnish what is probably the greatest bargain ever offer­ed to the public in the way of a fine Stock farm; one that had made money for the owner from the Start. The land is rolling, but precisely suitable for the purpose; all fenced and cross-fenced; the finest of water and a complete set of buildings; a fine, nearly new house, large barn, cattle, sheds, poultry house, other outbuildings etc. One field of 20 acres is under cultivation. Everything in readiness to move right in.

PRICE—but we cannot give this in print; it would be bad for business; suffice to say that for one with the money it can be had, if taken at once, for less than the buildings are adtuaily worth. Full particulars will be given to those seriously in search of a great bargain.
