FARMING FACTS FROM FARGO.

FARMING FACTS FROM FARGO.
Reports from all parts of the valley adj
iacent to Fargo are to the effect that farm
ers had about completed their fall blowing
before the freeze came, and that their work
has cen done in a much better manner
than usual. As a rule the 10th of Noyem-
Der has been the limit of time for fall
work. but this year the middle of the
month found it still in progress where it
had not been already completed. The
high prices th,t have prevailed since har-
vest, aud the general belief that We are to
have ut one or two years more of good
prices. have caused farmers to prepare for
= larger acreage than they otherwise would
have done; and there is no doubt that.
with a moderately good crop next year,
and with prices anywhere near the present
figures, the end of another twelve months
will find the farmers of the Red river VAL
ley in q better condition than they have
ever known before.

ton of the Catholic see of North Dakota

cided to make further effort to raise an

from Archbishop Ireland, written in re-
sponse to "a communication from the board.
was read, and from it's tone the inference
was drawn that Minncsota's popular
prelate is very fnvorably inclined toward
Fargo. The committee is now hard mt
work soliciting subscriptions, and from the
generous manner i'll which citizens are re-
spending it is more than probable that
soon the required amount will have been
subscribed. 1t is estimated that the
location Of the see at that point would in
volve the expenditure within the next few
years of $780, 900.
