FeRrlLE LANDS OF SLOPE.
A. D.. Clarke Tells the Resources Of
Western North Dakota.
Oliver County Has Never Had . Crop
Failure In Fifteen Years.

Oliver County Has Never Had . Crop
Failure In Fifteen Years.
Mr.. A. D. Clarke, president Of the
Clarke National Bank of Minneapolis.
who, a year or SO ago purchased half
a million acres of railroad land in the
big bend of the Missouri river, in
North Dakota, in speaking Of western
lands said in the Commercial West:
Ever since settlement has extended
as far west as the Missouri river in
the Dakotas, there has been q system
attic attempt by the cattlemen to dis
courage settlement by agriculturalists.
They have given the impression when.
ever possible that the lands west of
the Missouri are not suited to the rails
ing Of grains and that there is not
sufficient rainfall. There is no ques-
ton but that the cattlemen have been
responsible for keeping settlers out of
that territory to a great extent, while
other localities have been advertised
and SO have drawn the tide of immi-
grafton. 1t is true that there is a
great deal of land west of the Missouri
that is not of a suitable character for
the raising of grain. There are large
tracts that are too sandy or that have
an underlying deposit Of gravel, which
naturally makes them too dry. But
other lands having a clay subsoil, will,
with no greater amount Of moisture,
raise good crops with regularity.
There is a great tract of land ex-
tending northward from about the To-
cality of Pierre, s. D., west of the Mis-
souri,, clear to the Saskatchewan val
ley, in Canada, most of which is suited
to raising Of grain, although 1t has
not. owing to the reasons already men
toned. received the attention of set
tiers that it deserves. In North Da-
kota, in the big bend Of the Missouri
river there is still 1000, 900 acres Of
government land that can be home
steaded. 1t is good land and is capa-
bic of growing large crops of fine
wheat, fax and corn. Moreover, this
territory is underlaid with Ignite coal
Of the best quality found in the state.
Better corn crops were raised there
last year than in Iowa. The central
part Of Oliver county, about Hanover,
was settled by Germans who have
now been there for several years.
They raise from eight to fifteen bush
els Of good quality fax per acre. and
a heavy yield of No. 1 wheat. They
have never had a crop failure.
Zone incident will illustrate how
this part of the state has been held
back from settlement by the cattle
men. The first party from Iowa that
took out to look at lands in Morton
