Acres Sown, Harvested and Yield in
Cavalier County in 1eoo-1ncrease in
Wheat and Flax Acreage This Year
Farm Products and Live Stock Market
ed During the Year 1900.
Interesting statistics pertaining to the
growth and development of Cavalier
county have been completed IN the office
of County Auditor Work since the as-
SCISSORS have finished their round OF
visits among the taxpayers. The figures
below have been gathered by Auditor
Work and hie deputy, John Machon, for
the Office of the Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture and Labor at Bismarck and among
other interesting things Riveoomparisons
between the aggregates in crop and live
stock compared with last year. The value
Of the information will be doubled if
preserved for future reference, as the
enormous yield this harvest is bound to
make good comparison with the crop
OF year ago, which was at the best only
fair. The figures as to live stock show
that diversified farming is fast doing
away with the one idea of raising nothing
but wheat. The big acreage sown to
Hax this season is another pointer
leading to the same conclusion. It
may here be added that the
crop area, within the marketing
radius OF Langdon, including of course,
the south and southwestern parts of the
county, has upwards 10000 acres of flax
to harvest this fall, IN the same section
the wheat crop is estimated to cover
barely $4,000 acres. On the new land,
southwest otihere, the yield of fax is
likely to be especially gratifying. The
detail Of Auditor Works statistical re-
port to the state department is in sub
