The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-12-22
R In THE NORTHWEST.

A correspondent OF the CnarloCCe
Observer, a citizen of North Carroll
ma, recently took a trip to the Dako-
tas and has written a very readable
letter setting forth his impressions
of the Northwest. From his letter
we clip the following extracts about
Dakota farming:
The Red River, according to the
information at hand, will be set
down as having it's head-waters
somewhere south of Fargo and flow
ing north on the line between North
Dakota and Minnesota into Manitoba
and emptying into Lake Winnipeg,
which is one of the ~estuaries of Hud-
son Bay.
This valley is a great wheat-pro-
ducing section and probably has no
superior in that line in all of North
America. In width, from east to
west, varying from so to 100 miles,
it is a dead level, fiat as a pancake,
an ideal prairie. The soil is black
and very fertile. A guess is not
hazarded as to the yield per acre. A
statement has been made that the
average yield of wheat for the whole
State of North Dakota this year was
% bushels per acre. No barnyard
manure or other fertilizer is put up
on the land. No provision for saw
ing manures of any kind is made ex-
cept by truckers and they conduct
their operations only near the larger
towns. The price of these lands is
from $40 to $50 per acre, $50 being
very high and 500 very low for good
land. An advertisement in a Fargo
paper is called to mind, wherein the
owner of a section, $40 acres, located
on a railroad, not far from Fargo, on
which were good dwelling houses.
barns, ~outhouses, ETC., offered it for
sale at -$22.50 per acre. He stated
that neighboring lands we're being
held at $25, but that he would sell
at the price offered as an inducement
to prompt trade-he wished to get
away before winter set in.
This is the country of the "bonan-
"a farmer" who cultivates hundreds
and sometimes thousands of acres in
one holding, sowing and reaping up
on a large scale and being able, on
account of the grandeur of his oper-
atoms, to succeed upon a smaller per
cent of net profit than if he we're cul-
tivating smaller holdings. Of course
there are many who are not bonanza
farmers, but the rule is large farms
even if they are not bonanza farms,
In approaching Fargo, through the
valley on the Minnesota side, one is
struck with the fact that the country
seems, from the railroad train, to I've
sparsely- settled, and the farm houses
to be far apart. 1t is said that the
tendency is now decidedly in the di-
rection of dividing up the holdings
and of the passing of the bonanza
farmer. Their wheat threshing ar
engagements is somewhat different
from ours. The outfit consists of n

mercial Club would cooperate in any
movement by the labor unions of the city
for the acquisition of another labor temple
site, but said the best interests of a grow
ing city like Minneapolis. would best be
served by razing the old city hall building
and using the ground as park.
After Mr.. Nye and Mr.. Ierrick retired,
a warm: debate upon the committees re-
pot followed. A member of the COM
mittee endeavored: to submit a verbal mi
nority report against the project He was
ruled, out: Of order. and: the question was
referred to the various unions for settle
ment.
While there is a, very general feeling
that the building is just what labor union
lists need, there is a growing feeling that
the desired object is already beyond their
reach. This sentiment is; openly eN-
pressed by the warmest friends Of the
movement. There is some doubt, too as
to whether the number Of unions which
will be able to forward their returns with
in the prescribed" limit will be sufficient tc
indicate positively just how the total vote
will stand. Thirty days was the time
granted by the city council; and half OF
this extension has already passed. How
| ever, one thing is plainly evident and that
is: that if the: labor unions do get the ole
city hall, it wiz be used for the accon1mo.
