ance company of Minneapolis. G.
5. Hargrave, general agent, has been
i'll the city only u few days and has
written many policies. Judging
from the progress lie is making he
will leaveWahpeton with no less than
100 policy holders. We have seen a
list of the policy holders in Fargo,
embracing over $50 of the leading
men Of that place; over 100 in
Crookston and about the same in
Grand Forks. The company is plac'
ing over half Il million of insurance
on their books monthly.
The plan is the most practical and
the rates the most reasonable of any
company doing business in the
northwest. All Of its policies ma.
ture in twelve years from their date
at which time the holder may with.
draw his reserve and surplus in
cash. lie may take paidup policy,
or he can continue his policy, re-
ceiving a cash annuity till death.
This is the only company in America
that places its reserve beyond the
control Of its managers, the said re-
serve being deposited with, invested
and held by the Minnesota Loan and
Trust company in trust for the
policy holder. Why send our money
east to be returned at u high rate Of
interest when our home companies
are just as good and one-tllir(
cheaper.

would be to defeat some other mines.

I. What, in your judgment, is the
real cause of the present depression in
the leaf tobacco market?
2. Does not really fine tobacco,
whether bright or dark, bring paying
prices to the farmer?
3. What recommendations should, in
your judgment, be made to the to-
bacco planters, in connection with the
crop.to be planted next season?
The first of the answers was as fol-
lows:
I. The farmer must make his own
food crops for man and beast, and not
depend on his tobacco crop to pay for
these necessaries. The one crop man,
no matter what the crop is, is always
in peril.
2. He must plant fewer acres of to-
baCco, feed the plant literally, and
give it the very best attention possible
otherwise at every stage Of its progress
from the seed-bed to the warehouse
and that only the land suitable to the
type should be employed, and that no
attempt should be made to nue cure
for "brights' unless the tobacco is
silky and yellows we'll on the hill.
3. Fine tobacco, whether bright or
dark, has always brought paying prices,
and always will.
4. 1t is impossible for us to compete
with other countries in the production
of low grade stock. The world is over
whelmed with it, and it can't be sold
at any but ruinous prices to the grower.
We possess an advantage not vouch-
safed to other countries, aOe can make
fne tobacco; and to throw away this
advantage, and content ourselves with
the production of grade tobacco,
IS to commit an act of folly that must
work damage to the whole community.
The farmer, like everybody else who
has anything to sell, must please his
customer else his labor will be in vain.
We heartily commend this sensible
advice to our friends in the country.
Good tobacco has always brought good
prices, it always will bring good prices
and it is bringing good prices now.
There is healthy demand in this mar
ket for good article and farmers who
have made it will realize handsome
profits.
Again we would impress upon them
the necessity of diversified crops Far
mers say half acre in tobacco will
bring enough to pay for two acres
planted in corn. Granting that this
IS true, suppose the half acre in tobacco
falls---nay suppose the season is bad
one for tobacco and the entire corp
fails, what can the farmer depend upon
for the support of his family?
