Of crops and. energy the busy
season. will be less marked, the
chance of crop failure less and
with many sources of income as
the result of crop rotation the
farmers prosperity will be more
certain.
The average of wheat in North
Dakota is less than l3 bushels per
acre. 1t should be thirty. Care
less methods of cultivating the
soil, poor seed grain, continuous
cropping to wheat, absence Of ma
nure, etc., is the cause of the small
average yield. Such methods of
farming will ruin the productive
ness of any country. It is soil
robbery. But really small per-
centage Of North Dakota is
actually farmed. We must learn
to farm in the the best and high
est sense.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1907-04-26

bit fiend, but a glorious Fact.
We are really in earnest when we
say that we are going to reduce our
stock of Farm Implements. That's
why we are offering them at prices
unheard of before. Competitors
don't seem to realize our in
tenticns, and have been trying to
beat our prices, but we know they
cannot continue. We are here,
and we have an enormous stock to
dispose of, and we are going to
force prices down, when as a.
matter of fact, manufacturers and
jobbers are advancing prices.
For instance; Following 5R ad-
vance last fall, there was, last week
another 5% a lvance put on farm
wagons, making the same wagon
cost the dealer approximately $500
more than lastyear. Do you know
that we started out this spring with
65 wagons on hand from last sea-
son; These coast us$6.OO less than
they would right now, besides we
are cutting the old price all to
smithereens. The same applies to
gang plows. We were caugh
with an enormous stock on hand
which came in to late for last falls
trade, in fact everything in the
line of farm implements is going
to be sold at prices that will ap-
peal to you. We want to make a
cleanup, and have decided that
this is the year to dol We would
not be surprised to see wagons sell
for from $50 to 500 next year,
and everything in farm imple-
ments will go skywards in like pro-
portion. Remember that all deal
ers have been up against gradual
advances for year or two, but
have stood for it, but these ad-
vances now amount to so much
that he must advance his price or
go out of business. We are not
going out.of business. Weare not
advertising a "Closing out sale'' or
a "Fire Sale". 1t is business
proposition to reduce stock which
is to large. What is our loss is
your gain.
Yours truly
The Peterson Machine Company.
