BIG CROP OF FLAX
FARMERS IN NORTHWESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA ARE IN PROS
Porous CONDITION
SETTLERS ARE POURING IN
Northern Railroad Lines Sure of
Largely Increased Earnings
Due to Opening Up of
New Lands.

Writing to the Minneapolis Journal
rom Harvey, n. D., II. V. Jones, the
EDITOR of the Commercial West, has the
following to say of the fax crop IN
Nol thwestern North Dakota:
The northwestern counties of North
dakota VIII produce a great fax crop. 1t
IS wonderful tranSforma ton from last
Year that is seen from Larlmoce to Mi
hot and Portal. The fax crop in the Red
river valley Is not healthy and its out
come is in doubt, but the moment one
strikes the Hill country towards the west
a change for the better is apparent at
Dnce.
Last year the new settlers in the north
west Counties found the times hard be-
cause there We're no crops above what
vas necessary for a bare subsistence.
There was a shortage of grass for stock,
ana in many instances conditions APP
preached seriousness. This year all is
changed, and the hills and valleys Of
Ward Wells, Pierce, Benson, Towner
and other counties are glorious with
Sountiful crops.
OF these crops fax is the great leader.
Wheat cuts but small figure in Ward
county, western Wells county and the
pther new settlements. For miles there
are acres of flax, clean and promising
splendid yield, and nearly all of this acre
age Is first crop. In many instances the
crop will pay for the farm this year,
winch Will furnish a support for all these
northwest counties that cannot easily be
Overestimated. With the splendid fax
crop is a bOuntiful supply of fodder
Farmers can carry the stock they have
and provide for more.
= The crop conditions in these western
counties will have an important bearing
on railroad earnings. Here is a large
acreage that is coming in as a permanent
support to the Great Northern, the North
ern Pacific and the 500. Only a half
dozen years back there was almost no
cultivation for a hundred miles around
Minot. low the country is settled and
there is a bountiful yield for all the new
eOmers.
These encouraging conditions hold to
the far points of the Bowbells country.
The Mouse river valley shows wheat that
will yield from 20 to 90 bushels and fax
that win crowd the record of production.
The land men are again busy Every
train brings landseekers. The far north
west counties of North Dakota must be
reckoned with hereafter. as crop produc-
