Il have never seen North Dakota so
prosperous in the thirteen years in which
l have lived in that state" said Maj.
Edwards. of the Fargo Argus j '.The
fact is, if we had no wheat at all, the
people as a whole would advance in ma
terial interests some hundred thousands
of dollars in their sheep and cattle in
vestments. North Dakota has over $780,
900 sheep, and next year she will have
l 800, 900. The amount of money which
the North Dakota farmers will receive
this year for their grain would have
purchased their farms one year ago. -
I have lived in the Red river valley
twenty years and farmed it. never
had an average under twelve bushels of
wheat per acre, and the average for the
twenty years will not be under twenty
five bushels. The lowest I ever sold
my wheat was for 81 cents, and the
highest 1 ever got was 81. 35 per bushel.
It is safe to say that have received at
at least 60 cents per bushel on the aver.
age, and that is a return Of SIS per acre
for every year Where is there coun-
try which can make such returns on the
amount of labor expended? The trouble
here with farmers is that they do not
take good care of their farm machinery,
and are not careful enough about little
matters. For farmer the Red river
valley is paradise. Tom Mckenzie in
the Fargo Argus. " s%
No, sir-look at that magnificent map
OF plenty painted upon the broad fields
of North Dakota by the hand OF labor
guided and directed by the good God!
