AASse Natural Resources Than Any

Edward Russell of Jamestown, who
has made an extensive trip through
California and the west, is of the
Opt noinhttat etaocmfwyeptaoicm
.opini0n that, Notwithstanding the
special advantages claimed for Cali
foEniA and other parts Of the country
visited, there is no natural soil the
equivalent OF that to be found In
North Dakota for stock and farm pur~
poser, which can be hAd at any price.
+. North 3Dakotans do not fully appre-
ciate the natural richness and fertil-
ity of their soil, and only by going
away from home and seeing to what
sxtEemities the western farmers are
driven to secure profitable returns
from SOIL, can the advantages Of our
own farm land be realized.
In California" says Mr.. Russell,
''land is selling from $500 to ESQ an
acre, about 80 per cent Of its actual
valie is included in the climate, S per
cent in wind and S per cent In natural
resources.
Business is over done in all those
towns, and while the country is a
nice place to loaf and have a good
time and is beautiful. in it's aspect,
still there Is no inducoment for men,
looking for business activities. North
Dakota is way ahead of California in
It's opportunities for making money,
for the average individual, who has
not already got a lot of money"
