Work ng Hard for Him.

there are no doubts as to his quail
lcations for this ofice.
Mr.. Bach was q member @ the
Minnesota University for two years,
and spent one year in the law de-
partment of the Univenity OF North
Dakota from which fM1(ltution he

Lewis & Bach, one of Minot's very
successful firms. He is an old Fer
gus Falls, Minn., citizen, and while
he has never before asked any poll
tical favor, he has made good ct
every turn of the road, and there ia
no reason why he will not do 80, II
elected to this very important Office.
Mr.. Bach considers that this is an
office that should be self sustaining,
and If elected will do his best to
make it 80. +.
He believes in equal Justice to all,
and the voters can certainly make
no mistake In electing him. Mr..
Bach's friends are numerous, and
while they realize that there b .
fight on, they declare that he can
be elected with q safe majority. Mr..
Bach is formidable campafgnee.

There are three common methods
, of growing strawberries,-in hills, In
narrow matted rows, or in wide mat
ted rows. We prefer the second
method. Arrange the first strong
runers by hand, spacing thom prop
erly and securing each one in place
with a little soil or q small stone.
Then, when each row is full, cut of
all additional runners that may
grow. Keep the ground hoed and
cultivated until late fall. The finish
ed row should not be wider than
fiften or eighteen inches.

Angora Cont Ranch Promised for
North Dakota
Grand Forks, N. D., July Is. The
largest shipment of Angora goats
ever made to North Dakota IL ex-
pected this week when T. w. Cox
of Walhalla will ship at least 400
OF the animals to this state to be
turned oose on the scrub in the
Pembina mountains.
1T will be the greatest PROPOSE
tion of the kind ever attempted here" !"
said Mr.. Cox, who passed through
the city en- route to Kansas City
where he intends to purchase his i'm
mense stock. No better country ON
the face of the globe can be found
for raising Angora goats than the
Pembina mountain country and that
the venture will be successful is as
|sured.
Mr.. Cox Is an expert on goat rails
ing and has studied the proposition
considerably. He is we'll acquainted
with the Pembina mountain country
and the Angtra goat ranch promises
to be one of the big things for North
Dakota and probably the
undertaking that has been made for
some time.

Big Strawberry Contest In Stat,


Fargo Forum: Interest in straw
berry growing in North Dakota will
receive a big impetus as the result of
the big contest which will be car
ried on again this year in the diff
erent counties of the state by the
school children.
Professor Randlett Of the Nortt,
Dakota agriculture college, who has
charge of this contest, has sent out
over $4,000 plants to different county
superintendents for distribution
among their schools. This is about
5000 more plants than has ever been
sent out before and shows the in.
crease in interest that has already
come about through the contests thst
have been held before.
The biggest consignment, and II
fact more than half Of the whole
went to Barnes county, where 5000
plants will be distributed. Thes>
plants are given to school children
and instructions in caring for then
are also sent and prizes are g1ves
for the pupils showing the best re
suits from the plants they receive.
Results which have been obtainel
i in the past show that strawberr.
growing can be made very profit
able industry in this state, and es
pecially in the lighter soil farthe
west.
