Commercial conditions in North Da'
during the last six months and indi'
cate a degree Of prosperity that the
state has never before enjoyed. 1t is
not in the midst of BOOM" but 1t Is
deriving benefits from a firm, substan.
tial growth.
There has prevailed general i'm
preston that North Dakota, as we'll
as other Western states, have been
making immense strides in commerce
and industry during the past few
years. The population has been grow
Ing steadily, but the growth has been
largely through immigrants who did
not possess so much wealth that the?
would add an immense commercial
strength to the state. Now tnay are
reaping from their efforts and are in a
position where they can buy all the
necessities and some CO the comforts
they desire.
In one county in North Dakota the
number of business men fluctuated as
follows: 1902, 754: 1908, 7zs: 1904.
73e; 1905, 1888. These figures were
taken from the first Of each year, and
show that in three years there was .
decrease Of sixteen business firms.
Some OF the other counties and cities
made the same showing. The decline.
however. has its bright side. 1t DEM
onstratcs that the Doom" days are
over and that future growth will be
drm and substantial.
More Business.
r. c. Dun & Co. have been gather
Ing statistics of commercial conditions
during the past six months, and c. E.
Pickard, the St. Paul manager, said
recently:
There have been ti!ty-eight new
towns ESTABLISHED in North Dakota
during IT,. last six months. Thirty
two Of them are on new railroad
branches constructed. with asa names
of business men added. The total in
crease Of persons Engaged in business
throughout the whole state for the
last six months has been IT'S. During
the same time five banks have discon.
tinued business, two banks have
changed from STATE to national banks,
and 1913 new banks have been started"
Along New Lines.
These new towns have been estao-
lished along the new branches con.
structed by the Great Northern and
the Soo The Ssrles, -'.oIhe ada1bass,
Sherwood and AH.:ec ale t:ie exten-
sions built by the Great Northern. The
railroads have oeeu making special
efforts to induce Immigrants to settle
along their new lines. This fact and
good crops are the reasons why North
Dakota has advanced so much COM
mercially during the last six months
Money is not extremely plentiful At
present. The car shortage has pre-
vented the elevators from enpty1nH
wheat. so that farmers have not been
bringing it into town as they would
otherwise and become possessed OF
ready money. On this account the
banks are able to get good rates for
loans and they are not slow in making
them, knowing tnat there is plenty OF
wheat as guarantee.

Plum Seedlings.

Frederic Cranefield of Wisconsin
says that 80 per cent Of the
seedlings OF any variety of plums
will fruit earlier than the parent.
The best varieties produce the best
seedlings, but show great diff.
ference in the uniformity OF their
seedlings, or in their varietal dif-
terences. Thus the seedlings from
The Quaker differ but little from their
parent, while the seedlings from tho
Wild Goose show multitude Of types.
