GOOD MONEY IN HIS POTATOES.
Root Crops Pay Farmers Better Than
Grain in North Dakota

Root Crops Pay Farmers Better Than
Grain in North Dakota.
st Paul Dispatch: j. H. Pifer,
prominent farmer living at Larimore,
n. D., has made little fortune this
year out of crop of potatoes, and he
has taken pains to keep an expense
account that cannot help but be valu.
able to farmers who have for years
neglected to turn their attention to
anything but wheat. These figures
show further that this section of the
state is we'll adapted to the growing of
potatoes.
MIR. Pifer made profit of s41 80 per
acre on an eighth of an acre less than
fifty three acres of land, or total n ct
profit on the tract of s2,206.25. Mr..
Pliers expense account is interesting.
because of the fact that nothing has
been overlooked. Nine bushels of seed
potatoes cost 53; man and team, plant
ing five acres day, costs S5 cents per
acre; cutting potatoes cost 40 cents an
acre; plowing cost 81 % per acre, drag
ging cost 30 cents an acre, cultivating
cost sl.5O per acre, spraying cost GO
cents an acre, and Paris green cost 20
cents and acre, making total cost of
SS. 10 per acre
The field was dragged twice, cultivat-
ed three times and sprayed three times
making the total cost of blowing, seed
ing and cultivating $780, The harves-
ing of the crop cost s627, the rest of
the land slO5.75 and planting and
cultivation sl6O, making total cost
of 81, 1920, or total cost of s2222. 81 per
acre. On the tract Mr. Pifer harvest.
ed 1O,4O0 bushels of potatoes, which he
sold at 33 cents per bushel, his total
receipts being $1,000, leaving net
profit of S2,206 %, or net profit of
s4193 cents per acre. These figures
are of value, coming as they do from
man who has kept close account of
every item of expense in planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting, and shows
without question that this is not en-
tirely wheat country. Potatoes pay
fairly we'll.

should Not contaminatc tile stream

Shoutd Not COntaminate the Stream.
The STAR has received commune
cation from Mr.. e. Hungerford con-
cerning the bill that was pending in
the Legislature "providing for the dis
posal of sewage by towns and cities"
Mr. Hungerford argues we'll for the
passage of such measure and shows
that the most advanced methods for
the disposal of sewage are by the filter
system. which do not contaminate the
streams or endanger the health OF the
communities. The legislative meas
ure has been killed and as conse-
quence arguments are just now un-
necessary. However, we publish the
closing paragraph of Mr.. Hungerford's
letter, which offers suggestion worthy
Of note:
"Fall River is beautiful stream and
can with slight outlay be made, as it
is now indeed, one of the prominent
attractions of the city. 1 have reason
to know what pleasure it is to visitors,
who, if the contamination of it goes
forward, will ave hsoon to be warned
to keep away from it. 1t is h rapid
stream and its waters are beautifully
clear and tempting. Portions of its
banks ought to be Immediately pur-
chased by the city and held for future
park purposes. Rude but artistic cas-
cades can now be, with almost no ex.
pense, introduced througout its course.
DR.. Hargens has rendered the city
valuable service in the beginning he
has made at the Introduction of shade
trees and supplying them with water.
1t is to be hoped that he will apply
himself with vigor to the question of
sewage disposal and the preservation
OF one of the chief beauties of Hot
Springs"
