"We are extremely happy to hear of
the very kind Intervention OF the United

seems to us all the better because 1t

chant" II certainly have a snap. The
houses send duns every month and
draw on me at sight; but if I send a
bill to a farmer, he comes inswear-
ing mad and quits trading at my
store. While I am hard up for
money, many of those who owe me
are sending cash in advance to mail
order houses. If contribute money
to any cause, people say I am bid
ding for trade; if I don't, they say
I'm a hog. Every day I am ex-
pected to dig up for everything
that comes along, from a rattle
ticket to a church fund by people
who claim I ought to do this be-
cause they do part of their trading
here; but my friend Montgomery
Ward neither buys rattle tickets
nor helps the church fund, and yet
gets the cash in advance business;
and if l were to circulate a sub
scription paper among the city
wholesale houses where We trade, I
would get the horse laugh proper.
If I sell a pair of pants, l must
treat the family tocandy and cigars:
if I buy a load of potatoes, / must
do the same. Customers who are
able to pay, hang on to their money
while I pay 1917 at the bank to get

during hard times and poor crops

with me providing 1 can duplicate

until after harvest for my money.
My scales weigh too heavy when I
sell sugar, and too light when I
weigh butter. I am u thief, a liar,
and a CRATER. If I smile, I I'm a

BRONZE GRASS.
N. S. French, in The DAKOTA

N. S. French, in The DAKoT!
FARMER
At great risk of being called {
bronze grass crank, we take up this
topic again. Our seed is all sole
and shipped out Of the country ano
from the steady demand and high
price, as we'll as from the many in.
quiries sent here, there really seems
no topic Of much greater interes.
than this. And we fully believe
that there is no crop that can be
grown here that will prove Of more
lasting benefit to the country than
this same grass.
Among my questioners is J. R.
Mason, Of Mazeppa, Mimi. And
right here WE want to say that t.
few more queries along this OF
other lines will do us no hurt, and
will be cheerfully answered at least
SO far as we are able. The answers
may not always suit the questioner
but ask them just the same.
Mr.. Mason says he owns a farm
in LaMoure county, North Dakota,
and has a flock Of sheep thereon.
He thinks of seeding some Of the
older plowed land to bronze grass
for sheep pasture and asks how
many sheep will an acre of bronze
grass pasture. To answert this ques-
ton exactly is almost impossible,
but we unhesitatingly advise MI.
Mason to try it and find out for
himself if he can. Opinions vary.
One farmer near here who has raised
bronze as long as any one here says
that one acre of bronze will pasture
g many COWS as fifteen acres of
prairie grass. He has no sheep.
Others run the ratio down as low
a. 8 to /, but the unanimous opin-
ion of all is that bronze grass after
it is well set and sodded, is a very
good pasture and that it will, acre for
acre, pasture at least twice as much
stock as raw prairie, even when
the prairie is fresh and has never
been pastured close. But pasturing
prairie close soon runs out, while
bronze, so far, seems to hold its
own under very close feeding.
Had Mr. Mason asked if it would
benefit his land to seed it to bronze,
We would answer yes just as load
as possible. The system (?) of crop
rotation here in central Dakota has
been such that if twenty crops have
been raised on any certain piece of
land, it is a safe guess that at least
seventeen of them were wheat.
Any farmer, who in the early SOS
was given a half or quarter section
Of land, had a pretty good bank to
draw on, and generally speaking
his checks were promptly cashed,
though he even destroyed the stubs
Of the checks by burning the straw.
All these years he has checked OUT
steadily and constantly, always call
ing for wheat, wheat, wheat, and
now, when the cashier last summer
wrote rust across his unpaid check
he stands aghast. Candidly now,
is it not about time to cash in a
little instead Of drawing on the
bank so steadily?
True, he may do as some foolish
ones are doing, try another bank:
j. e., go to another new country.
But will that bank stand constant
checking out any longer OF as long
as this one has. I doubt it; better
seed down your old land and pillow
up your old pastures, and try a few
sheep or dairy cows or pigs and
chickens, OF even billy goats for a
while, for your account on natures
Dakota Bank for No. l Hard wheat
Is surely now overdrawn.
