kota:. 1t is as good country as any
I know Of, Being an old sailor +
have seen many parts of the globe.
According to my experience l have
found that North Dakota. is best ad-
apted for diversified farming; that
means grain, stock, or a little of
both.
1 have had wheat, on new breaking,
go as high as IS. bushels per acre, and
I have also seen it as low as 8 bushels
per acre. It is all according to the
season.
Corn can be raised profitably here.
Even in dry season 1 have raised
from 30 to 40 bushels of corn per
acre.
Speaking of North Dakota as a
stock-raising country, find that by
providing good shelter in winter,
brings better profits, although horses
and cattle are often: seen exposed the
entire winter, without, care or shelter,
that turn out we'll in the spring.
Horses can provide for themselves
during the winter with better results
than cattle.
AS for the climate, it is as good
as any have been in. have seen
winter early in November and wealth
er at Christmas warm enough for out

more will the settler &c startled with
the war cry of the red man; no more
will tho heart of the brave wife Of
the pioneer be bowed down with the
sense of her isolation. Cattle Craze
on thousand hills, and the reward of
the tiller of the soil is certain. Cities
with all advantages and communities
of comfortably fixed, industrious men
and women, the happy throngs OF
earnest homeseekers coming to this
country on every train; happiness,
contentment and prosperity-all point
with the finger of certainty to the fact
that the prophecy has been fulfilled
and that WE HAVE WON.

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 misguided into thinking
"roal farming" was unnecessary;
merely sowing eand 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.
We 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 go'
ing up all over the state. Our school
system Is considered one of the best.
In conclusion would say to pros
pective settlers that if you come will
ing to be satisfied you probably will
be that and more, but If you come in
spirit of criticism you may go away
in year or two without having
gathered much moss" On an aver
age this is not a 'get rich quick"
country, but industry intelligently ap-
piled will VIM

Observations Of An lowan.

J. F. Watkins who came from Iowa
in 1906. writes:
II have not been personally en-
gagged in farming since coming to
North Dakota. I bought a farm near
Menoken in Burleigh county, four
years ago which has been leased for a
share of the crop with results quite
satisfactory. My experience and OBJ
servation has convinced me that the
soil is rich and productive and under
proper tillage will yield good results;
