our citizens and the interest they take
in the general welfare of the commu-
nifty, we have five rural free delivery
routes and two star routes leaving Ken

ed in time to handle the next crop. The
utilizing Of our vast resources of raw
material, consisting Of gravel deposits
and an excellent quality Of brick and
pottery clay, is receiving the careful
attention Of our business men, and
every inducement will be offered to
capital to foster and develop the manu-
facture Of brick, cement blocks, thing

The survey has been completed and
the right-of-way determined upon for
the construction of new line Of the
500 railroad thru the northern part of
North Dakota from Thief River Falls,
Mimi, to Kenmare, N. d., it's western
terminus and division point, large
part of the material being already on
the ground ready for use. A round
house is under construction. When the
line is completed, Kenmare will be a
very desirable place as wholesale dis

sells for from $40 to $40 an acre. and
unimproved is held at from $15 to $50.
There are good reasons for these condi-
tions and prices.
Compared with the state generally,
Barnes county is an old settled commu-
nifty and its farmers have every advan-
tage that is possessed by the residents
of the most densely settled sections OF
the central states.
The foundations upon which the pros.
perity and success of the farmers OF
Barnes county has been built is the soil.
There is none better or more productive
anywhere than is to be found within it's
boundaries. Lying Just outside of the
Red river valley, whose farmers are
sometimes troubled with too much
moisture in the spring, the rainfall is
more abundant than it is further west,
and as a result there is no uncertainty
about the crops. Harvest is as certain
as seeding and there has never been a
crop failure in the history Of the
county.
Valley City, the county seat of
Barnes county. is one Of the best towns
in the state. 1t is the seat of the state
normal, which has 400 students. Its
shipping facilities and markets are Of
the best.

Valley City, N. D., April 1o.-Corn
growing in North Dakota is now beyond
the experimental stage, and it is con-
sidered necessary and regular crop.
On a section farm there are often 100
acres or more in corn. In the eastern
part of the state this crop has double
value. It produces the corn. and fod-
der, and it is also credited with direct
money return in adding to the fertility
Of the soil.
Wheat grown after corn will, in three
years, out-yield by fifteen bushels an
acre land continuously in wheat. Corn
is now grown on land which otherwise
was summer fallowed, and SO long as
corn has been given these double values,
SO long will the state have feed that
is cheaper than anything grown else
where.
Corn, as grown and generally handled
in North Dakota, is made at cost of
about $3.50 an acre, which includes the
expense of putting it in stacks in the
barnyard ready for feeding.
The newcomer who is looking for $40
an acre land must go further west or
north, for there is none to be had in
Barnes county. 81 Improved land here
