State Bank of Cooperstown.
Never during our twenty-one years
residence in North Dakota have we
ever experienced such wet spring as
we have had this:season. Farmers have
been terribly handicapped on account
of the excessive wet weather and
most of the wheat has been ''mudded
in"
The State Bank makes loans on Inn
proved farms. Money paid over at
once If title is o. X.
The acreage of wheat will be con-
siderably less this season, while the
acreage sown to fax, barley, ETC., will
undoubtedly be largely increased over
former years. If the prices only keep
up the farmer will not lose anything
in the long run.
The Fargo Agricultural College
base ball club will be here Saturday to
