peared in the Buffalo Courier about
North Dakota and it's advantages:
No state, it is believed, has escaped a
more direct benefit by its exhibit at
the Pan-Amcrican Exposition than che
commonwealth of North Dakota.
Attracted by the states exhibit in tho
Agricultural Building. hundreds have
made inquiries regarding the advantages
OF North Dakota as a place Of residence,
and OF those who have come under the
missionary influence OF Lieut.. Gov.
David Bartlett and w. F. Gushing, the
states representative here, over 100
have left for points in North Dakota
within the past few weeks. Not a day
passes that many inquiring home
seekers do not find their way to the
pavilion to ask:
What are the chances for me in
North Dakota?"
They might as we'll ask, what are the
chances of a hungry man at a heavily
laden table?'
BREAD BASKET OF THE WORLD.
North Dakota is the Bread Basket
of the World.' 1t is the home of the
provident, industrious and prosperous.
Despite it's SO called %"bonanza" farms,
with their thousands of acres all in one
field, there is not a millionaire in the
State. Neither-and which is much
more important to the man casting
about for a new homo-is there q
single pauper.
Only two counties have looked far
enough into the future to-proyide
aims houses, and these did so before the
inhabitants realized the wonderful pro.
ductivity of the State and the utter
improbability that anybody who vas
willing to work and had strength for
the efforts. should be in dire want.
These two counties have found their
a%lmshouses white elephants. The one
situated near the city of Fargo, the
metropolis of the State. has been
changed into a county hospital. The
other is still open for business ut a large
expense, but the poor come not. II vii,
probably become dismantled or put tc
some other Use. North Dakota is the
home of the average people, but it is .
good, prosperous average, and the rail
roads running through the State, will
every n of them bear testimony to the
fact that that thousands of farmers out
there have money enough to take trips
ever winter to their old homes in the
east, to California or to the far south.
LARGEST WHEAT PRODUCER.
The State Of North Dakota has 8
worldwide reputation which it bids
fair to sustain indefinitely. 1t is un.
equalled in its equality, great in itt
aggregate and great in it's average pei
acre.
This has been true in the past and
it is true to.t,ay, the lIrgest government
crop report trediting North Dakots
with the highest average yield per acre
of any State in tho Union.
It's wheat is known for it's superio,
quality in every milling center in The
world. and its merits has been a~ttestec
at every great exposition at which the
State has exhibited its products. The
Now Orleans Exposition, twenty years
ago, the great Worlds Fair OF Chicago
and the Trans Mississippi Exposition Of
Omaha. all tell the same story-North
Dakota wheat awarded the gold medal
highest awardedin its class. With thi,
record behind thom it is no wonder th,
people of the State have full confidonc,
that when the pan.American Jury O
awards makes known its findings in thi
class Of exhibits the first OF next month
another splendid tribute will be paid I,

, The reputation OF North Dakot,
wheat is SO firmly established that i
seems incredible it should have bee.
t built up in scarcely moro than a quartz
OF a century, but such is the case. TIL
first wheat grown in this State was b
Charles Bottineau, who had grown a
much as 100 acres of whoat prior I
