In the above note the steady growth in
acreage year by year; note also how capri
cious the yield has been on the acreage
planted, as most clearly appears in the col
umn giving the pounds produced per acre.
For instance, In the summer of 1884 the pros
duction fell to the very low average of 144
pounds, and again in 1886 the rate per acre
was only 157 pounds Note also the fur
ther fact that it has taken just nine years to
bring the country around to the second full
crop; that is to say, the cotton states pro-
duced an average of 1914 pounds per acre in
the summer of 1882, but have not done as
well any summer since until the summer OF
1890. And finally note Gin the last column
of the above compilation) what would have
been the total yield each year since 1882 in
bales had the south produced a full crop
every summer, that is in case the yield had
been 1914 pounds per acre.
The changes and results estimated are as
follows:

Prof. Robert Hay. the geologist of the
commission now conducting the lrriga~
tion inquiry in the Dakotas, was IN James.
town Friday. An Alert reporter found
the professor in consultation with Sena-
tor Casey, who has been the chief pro-
moter of the irrigation movement at
Washington, and learned from him that
Col. Nettleton expects to be here in q
few days. Prof Hay is making careful
geological survey Of the arteslan basin.
He will spend several weeks in North
Dakota, devoting particular attention to
the wells in the Red river valley. The
professor was with the commission that
made the preliminary examination last
summer.
Col. Nettleton has been in South Da-
kota for a month past experimenting lr-
rigation experiments at Aberdeen and
other places. It is expected that h- will
conduct similar experiments in North
Dakota, but Just where or when is not
known. Senator Casey some months ago
secured an order from the agricultural
department directing that an experiment
should be made on the asylum farm
from the arteslan we'll there The flow
from the we'll is now barely equal to the
needs of the institution. It is probable
that the water shortage will prevent the
experiment there.

Mccormick Harvesters.

Kirk, Alien & Hathorn will sell the
Mccormick harvesting machines this
year. They tell us that the Mccormick
company are obliged to make at the rate
of one complete machine every minute of
the day in order to supply their world
wide demand-the Mccormick being al
most as we'll known on the steppes of Rus
sia, the plains Of the Danube and IN the
winter harvests of the southern hemis-
phere-Australia, South Africa and
South Amerlca-as it is here.
The Mccormick catalogue, which, by
the way, they keep for eratuitous distri-
button, it is work of art and will repay
careful reading, while the photographic
poster of the historic battle Of the Monl-
tor and Merrimac is the finest thing we
have ever seen published. When We
take into consideration the fact that the
Mccormick company sold 105,46s ma
chimes in 1890 the popularity of their
harvesters and mowers and the capacity
of their mammoth works affords an inter-
esting subject for contemplation.

The North Dakota Cactus.

Several specimens Of the cactus plant
have been obtained from the prairie
recently by amateur botanists. The
general impression prevails that this
strictly American shrub is native of
tropical countries, and of arid sandy
regions, but as long ago as the Lewis &
Clarke expedition this fallav was ex-
ploded by the discovery Of cacti in even
higher latitudes than this. Darwin
refers to the fact that the cactus plant
grows in AZ degrees south latitude, and
he describes specimen which he found
in the cold and inhospitable climate of
Patagonia. The cactus which is found
in North Dakota is small species, grow
ing low on the ground, seldom exceeding
two or three inches in diameter. The
most noticeable feature is the flower,
which is of beautiful pink color, about
the size of half dollar and spreads out
over the center of the prickly and spiney
surface of the plant. The flower is short
lived; and in several Of the night flower
ing species endures only for a single
night.
In the cactus the spinee take the place
OF leaves, The multiplicity of it's forms
exceed the Imagination. Several species
grow on the trees and some flourish near
the snow line on mountains. The plants
of this order where they chiefly abound
are tapped by Indians and the insipid,
but wholesome juice drank by both men
and animals.

located at Carrlngton, about fifty miles
north Of this place, aud adjoining the
jamestown u Northern branch of the
Northern Pacific. Senator Casey, one Of
the members of the firm, is one of the
Oldest settlers OF Dakota, and has 'Rrown
up with the country" having been elect
ed to the United States senate last year.
His organization farms half dozen sec.
tions, and raises large amount Of wheat
yearly. Like all other residents OF Da-
kota, the senator has experienced adver-
sity and encouragement, but he has
faith in the ultimate success Of his
venture, and says Dakota has seen it's
darkest days and promises this year to
redeem its promises. The crop outlook
now is better than in six years, and this
already has caused an increased demand
for farming land, some Of which has been
sold at S5@$lO per acre. according to
quality. Where there are improvements
in the form of plowad land, 50 per acre
is paid in addition. Localities where
there are other settlers are preferred. and
there land brings the highest prices.
The farms on which mortgages have
been foreclosed are not generally offered
on the market at this time or at anything
like the prices which they cost the pres
ent owners. Some of the settlers who
became discouraged a year or two ago
went elsewhere on prospecting tour,
have returned and are prepared to DEM
onstrate from personal experience that,
on the whole, Dakota is no worse off than
other states. Industry, perseverance
aud good judgment invariably have been
followed by success, in Dakota as we'll as
elsewhere. III health and special cases

OF failure, but they are rare exceptions.
OF the the successful farmers on a mod
crate scale, in this country, may be cited
Adam Elliott, formerly of Waukesha
county, Wis, and now located near
Parkhurst, seven miles north OF James
town. He has raised slx crops of wheat
on his farm and experienced no failure
as yet-has made money every year. I
passed by bis farm the other day and
noted 100 acres Of the finest wheat IN
this county, but it has taken hard work

washed out the valleys and left the pres
ent uncomfortable streams such az the
James and Sheyenne rivers. The drift
or dlluvlum deposited by the glaciers is
easily noticed in the coolies and valleys,
along the upper ridge OF which are seen
accumulations OF boulders. The reason
Why line of boulders nearly always
marks the top of the sides of the valleys
is that the other boulders originally left
in the soil washed away, have alec been
carried off by the rush Of water.
It is not believed by Prof. Hay that the
presence of the large numbers of bould-
ers that lie piled thick on the shores of
many of the lakes in this state can be &C.
counted for by the action of freezing and
thawing which has pushed the rocks on
the shore. He thinks that many OF the
present lakes have been the stopping
places Of glaciers. Some change in the
ice field, which was again started for
ward by sudden melting, and the de-
presslons left IN the surface, hoored with
an unusual deposit Of boulders, are now
our beautiful lakes. This action of the
glacier can be distinctly traced in South
Dakota, where there are, near Huron,
several localities showing distinct evi-
dences of where the glacier rested, left
Its monuments of rounded and polished
rocks to mark the spot and again moved
onward unde! the impelling heat of the
sun. The progress of this glacial march
can be distinctly traced from point to
point by lines of boulders, and other in.
dicatlOns known to geologists.
There are other places in the United
States where the passage Of the glaciers
has been traced, and one extremely large
boulder IN Massachusetts has been
tracked over bill and dale, by it's stria.
tions or scratchings on the surface OF
the rocks, to its original quarry, some
twelve miles away.
