Throughout northern Minnesota, North
Dakota and in some sections of South Da-
kota seeding has been greatly delayed by
the inclemency of the weather expert
enced during April and so far this month.
Snowstorm after snowstorm has made it
impossible to put the seeders to work.

seeded. while in North Dakota. northzrn

the percentage is still far below normal
for this time of year. Despite the delay.
however. there is little uneasiness felt
on the part of farmers or grain dealers,
who have found that a late seeding makes
for bumper crop, especially if the delay
is caused by spring SHOWS. The ground
is full of moisture and a few days of
sunshine will put it in splendid shape for
the reception of the seed.

An Honest Answer to Thsss VIII
Keep the Trade with the
Home Merchant Every
Time.

icopyrighted. 1905. by Alfred c. Ciark.)
When the thrifty person or his wife
sits down for the first ume-or any
time-with the mail order catalogue
and Its temptations. there are two.
and only two. points to be taken into
consideration.
One OF these Is moral obligation.
and the chances are that that will be
dismissed as sentimental nonsense.
The other is-Will 1t pay? and to
that the thrifty person will be in
clined to interpret an answer from the
prices quoted in black.faced figures in
the catalogue.
Neither OF these questions should
be lightly dismissed. Moral obliga-
ton Is not sentimental nonsense. and
black-faced figures sometimes lie.
The duty man owes to his own
community and his obligation to trade
at home are SO often reiterated In the
country press that. possibly like some
OF the preaching. 1t has a tendency
to harden the hearts OF the sinners.
What has your neighboring town

given you. Mr.. Farmer? A market for
your produce What has made % to
so per cent OF the present value OF
your farm? The accessibility OF a
market. You know what your grand
father did on that same farm? Drove
his hogs and hauled his grain 80. so.
maybe rs miles to the nearest market
town, and received prices for them
that would make you howl about the
trusts. And he hauled back the fam
lily supplies for which he paid what
you would consider monopolistic
prices. Do you happen to know what
the old farm was worth then? Well.
1t lacked a good deal Of being SIS or
500 an acre.
Yes, the home town, with its handy
market. has advanced the value of
your property and made you worth
several thousand dollars more than
your grandfather was worth. The
home town affords schooling for your
children, and perhaps social and
church privileges which your family
would not otherwise enjoy. The rural
mail routes and telephone systems,
radiating from the home town. as
spokes from hub, bring to your
home the greatest conveniences Of
modern times.
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing the settlers of newly-opened
reservation do Is to send for wagon
load Of mail order catalogues? Well,
haven't. They lay out town site
every six or eight miles, start two or
