First Visit In 1875.
II came out here in 1875. Prac-
tically speaking, there was nobody here.
Fargo, the first time / saw IL, had less
than 500 persons, and the biggest stock
of goods in the lace was sheltered in
a tent, and the owners had a sentry
with rife standing guard lest some
one cut through the canvas and walk
off with goods, ! knew nothing about
the country, but / knew practically as
much as anybody about It. heard that

ing wheat. l drove up to see. found
the place, and saw the little field where
the grain had been raised. I measured
1t with a string and found it contained
eight acres. I measured the bin that
contained the wheat and found that
there was about $50 bushels-twenty-
eight bushels to the acre. which struck
me as pretty good yield.
The grain was very small / was
familiar with the big, fat kernels of
the soft wheat they raised In Pennsyl-
vania, and this looked to me like pretty
Insignificant stuff Still they told me
that this was the famous Scotch fife
which was just coming into popularity.
and which was being raised with such
success around Winnipeg. / wanted
to know about the land. went down
into the German cellar and saw that
there was good thick layer of black
soil that looked capable of raising
anything. / saw that this was under
laid with clay, and my information was
that TX you had a good clay subsoil
there was little danger OF anythoing
going to waste through It, A man
told me where there was some nice
land that could be located, and he
showed me the spot where little lake

ons-croP System Abandoned.
I'VE have long since abandoned the
one-crop system Of farming we have
been rotating right along, and we raise
pretty much everything that is suited
to the soil and climate, and a great
variety of crops can be raised here sue
cessfully. We raise all the coarse
grains, and every year we ripen corn.
Corn is fine with us this year, and the
yield Is good Glover does well with
us, and we consider it one of our most
valuable crops"

GENESIS OF BIG

TERPRlsE IN NORTH
DAKOTA.

Grand Forks, N D., Sept EFF
Bismarck had not been engaged In the
early seventies in crushing the power

pire one of the largest wheat farms
In the world would not have been es-
tablished in North Dakota, and there
would have been a material change in
the industrial development of an i'm
portant section of this commonwealth.
J. l.. Grandin, a Boston banker, one
IF the owners of the famous Grandin
farms of Cass and Trail counties, was
visitor at Grand Forks recently. In
. chat over old times he spoke casually
of his purchase Of the 10000 acres Of
land which constituted the nucleus OF
the Grandin farm in this state. He
was asked IL that was some of the
famous S0-cent land that was on the
market about 1875 NO" he said
with a twinkle in his eye, II regret
60 say that that land cost us Al cents
an acre"
TT was this way" he continued,
smiling over the recollection. I'VE had
lot Of Northern Pacific securities
which were worth practically nothing
on the market, and while Red river
valley land was not considered OF any
great value, we thought still less of the
stock. and were glad to make the ex-
change. I am rather glad Of II yet.
Recalls Trial of Cooke.
"Our bank had been advancing con-
siderable sums to Jay Cooke, who was
financing the Northern Pacific road.
He was man of honor, and he had
unbounded faith in the enterprise. In
perfect good faith, and believing that
ne was doing them favor, he had sold
stock as an investment to thousands of
his personal friends and of those who
had appealed TO him for financial ad-
vice. The enterprise needed more and
more money, and he had advanced
million or so at q time from his private
FUNDS until he had put in 100000 or
