Norway's Resources.

The exports of Norway are swal-
lowed up in those of other countries,
and the volume is of such relative IN
importance as to attract but little at
tention. About four-ffths Of the area
Of Norway consists Of timber land, and
the country exports annually about
100000 tons of wood pulp and paper
made from wood. Timber in the rough
and finished is shipped from Norway
for building purposes and for wooden
ware manufacture, the exports averag-
ing about $16,OO0,OOO annually. For a
time Norway had a monopoly Of the
manufacture Of matches and now
ships abroad 5000 tons annually. Iron
and copper are found in abundance,
and the manufacture Of horseshoes,
nails and machinery is becoming an i'm
portant business. The mineral output
is ~$2,250,O0O a year. Fishing brings
Norway a large revenue, and the ship
ments Of herring. cod. mackerel,
salmon, roe, w%halebone and fish oils
average in value S7,5OO,OOO annually.
The Norwegians are a primitive peo-
pie, yet agriculture is not pursued to a
great extent. About 1000 tons of
condensed milk are exported annually,
and Norwegian butter is found in the
markets Of Europe. The government
is laboring to encourage cattle raising
and dairying. To the extent of her
limited and peculiar Nor
way is an element in the worlds bust
ness, but the natives "get busy" to
keep warm rather than to turn the
nimble sixpence.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1905-07-27

ABOUT a year ago there began to be
rumors of black rust affecting the wheat
fields of North Dakota, particularly
that section known as the sRed2 River
Valley, and in a couple of weeks the most
conspicuous items of new in the papers
of the Northwest were those relating
stories of the great destruction caused
by the black rust. But when the crops
had been harvested and threshed and
it was possible to secure a resume of the
total amount of wheat produced in the
state last year it was found that the crop
was considerably larger than the preced-
ing season. In fact, last year, despite
the destruction by rust, North Dakota
had one of the largest and best wheat
crops in her history. This year the
rumors regarding rust are beginning to
be circulated and in most cases as
grossly exaggerated as last year. The
stories of rust last year were largely the
fruits of a vivid imagination, though, of
course, there was great destruction of
grain. 1t is possible that fields will be
affected this year. 1t was said last year
that th~efwheat crop in Cavalier county
was badly injured by black rust and
yet it is an undisputed fact that the
taxes this year are better paid up than
in any other year in the history of the
county. The farmers are in better con-
dition financially than ever before.
Isolated cases are cited of poor crops
last year and suffering, but the public
has been led to believe thatxthe general
conditions were very unfavorable, which
was not the case.
