Good Average Crops.

A. E. Teachout, of Glencoe, who
came from southwest Iowa in Febru-
airy, 1906, writes: 1--WE are engaged in
stock raising and general farming.
Corn and small grain is our rotation.

wheat each year also have had good
corn with the exception of last year;
we had the corn all right but a 49,
minute hail storm August 10th was
too much for it. Have eighty acres

it will yield about 20 bushels per

so have some very tedious winds in
the spring and summer, but there are
many beautiful days, alternating with
the disagreeable ones, and now these
glorious warm, bright Indian summer
days with the blue haze hiding the
distant hills that form the horizon.
Certainly no place could boast more
beautiful autumn.
I'm the early days North Dakota
soil was considered so prolific that
many were misguide into thinking
real farming" was unnecessary;
merely sowing and reaping. Now that
more are learning proper methods Of
farming there will be less widespread
crop failures we are confident. We
are learning that good corn can be
grown here. On my own farm this
season, I raised corn over eight feet
high which matured fine large ears of
white dent variety. Those who care
for them raise fine gardens. Live
stock do splendidly in North Dakota.
I'VE believe that every farmer should
raise live stock in connection with his
farming. Either beef or dairy types
are profitable, but the dairy cow is
coming to the front and as a conse-
quence there are new creameries 60
ing up all over the state. Our school
system is considered one of the best.

pective settlers that if you come will

be that and more, but if you come in
spirit of criticism you may go away
