THERE are number Of reasons for
believing that there will be good crops
in Cavalier county this year. The
farmers are learning more about soil and
moisture conditions in the northwest
every year. They are learning better
how to till the soil They know the
seasons better. The long period of cold
weather has caused the ground to be-
come frozen to great depth, which
means it will take much longer to thaw
out in the spring and that means the
soil will hold tho moisture longer than
on ordinary years and hence the farmer
will not be so dependent upon spring
and summer rains. With good crops
assured and with the great Russia Japan
war to stimulate demand for American
food products there are good reasons
Why prices for farm produce should be
even higher than now. Tho farmers Of
Cavalier county never had better .pros-
pects before them than this year.

One of the most profitable investments
the citizens of Langdon can take up at
this time is public library. Both
young and old would find library owned
by the city a profitable institution.
Langdon ought to have public library
as soon as possible. The people of Lang
don can have public library if they
really want one. Outside of the city
schools and the churches there is no in
stitution whose educating influence is
greater or more essential than public
library. Citizens should find that it
really does appeal to their good sense
and intelligence to unite and secure for
Langdon public library. Use your in
auence. 1t is most potent.
