This opinion, stated by the La Moure Pyogress.
is becoming prevalent this season: 1t is only

and experienced bonanza farmers as Oliver
Dalrymple. They do not do it because there
is money and less risk in diversified
farming.

in this The low prices of wheat this year. will
do Dakota an immense amount of good, if it
teaches Its farmers the unwisdom of depending
upon crop. They will, after this, be more
inclined to go to raising beef, pork butter eggs,
flax, barley and Oats, all of which pay better
this year than wheat. And yet, with the cheap
ness of wheat in Dakota the price Of -four il
still very high The time will soon come, it is
to be hoped, when there will be sufficient mills
in Dakokta to put flour down to more reason
able basis.

Sth of September. Mr. Bushnell says there is
not the least doubt in his mind about the success
OF raising corn in this country. especially the
early varieties and from this fact alone he is as
surcd that stock raising can be made 10 pay fax
Setter than wheat.

age in the point suggested in this by the Emer-
son International: 'Miss Hannie G. Ryan, Of

Dakota Good for Hannah. Here is an instance
of the advantage Of immigration to Dakota that
