Flax for Seed at Fargo 1899 Talk on Breeding Varieties
J H Shepperd speaks at the National Flax and Fiber association meeting in Fargo on December 1899 urging improved flax seed selection and crop practices. He contrasts flax with livestock and cereals, argues for careful seed sourcing free of weed seeds, discusses soil preparation, plowing, and weed control, and notes a flax disease study by Dr Lugger. He warns against chasing high prices and advocates rotation, manuring, and steady flax production as a reliable money crop.

Will Power Bet and a Quiet Man’s Calm Command
A London club tale recounts a boastful man betting he can force another from a corner by will alone. The quiet challenger simply sits, and after five minutes declares no hurry, promising the subject will come out by his next request next day week. The bragging man exits humiliated, as the quiet man maintains a steady challenge. The second anecdote features a Scottish bride delay and a groom’s telegram “Don’t marry till I come,” sent after missing trains, reflecting humor and patience in misplanned plans.
