SITUATION NOT BAD
Common Sense View of N. G. Lari-
more Regarding the Crop Con-
ditiOn,

| Hon. n. u. LdrlmOre Wri teS the fol-
lowing to the Minneapolis Journal
! In view OF the fact that you have
more than once proved the practical
value OF your paper to the farmer, I
would suggest that you place before
them some facts which they may have
forgotten or overlooked. When
threatened with the loss of a large
part of their crops, they may even
have forgotten their own experience
and imagine they are facing an ire
parable calamity. Call their atten-
tion to the fact that North Dakota
has had about twenty-five successive
years OF prosperity, and ask for anoth-
er state that can boast of such a rec
ord.
Compare North Dakota with the
great state Of Kansas that is now
groaning under immense crops of
wheat and corn. They of Kansas have
frequently started out with the prom
ise to feed the world and wound up
with the world having to feed Kansas.
During the twenty-five years Of North
Dakota'S prosperity count the num-
Der Of failures Kansas has had.
Our farmers have no cause to be dis
couraged on the contrary they NAV
at the end Of next season look back
upon this dry year as blessing, by
reason Of being forced to do what they
should have more frequently done
from year to year. Let them at once
plow under all crops that are not
worth saving, and with a favorable
