BEST FARMER IN
UNITED STATES
NEBRASKA MAN BY INTENSIFIED
METHODS GROWING RICH OFF
TWENTY ACRES OF LAND, SAYS
THAT $50 is MISFORTUNE AND
$40 ACRES A CALAMITY.

Arnold Martin is a farmer of twenty
acres of land in Nebraska and he is
not merely making a living off the
twenty acres, but is getting rich from
IL.
Martin has been called 1.-THE best
farmer in the United States" and so
interesting are his operations that the
department of agriculture sent an ex-
pert to Investigate them. and has is
sued a bulletin based on his report.
Martin went to Nebraska from.
Switzerland ten years ago without
dollar. All he knew was farming. He
went to work as a farm hand and in
three years saved $275. Then he start
ed out for himself. Twenty acres was
all wanted" he says. That's enough
land, IL farmed rightly, for any man;
800 acres is misfortune and $40 acres
is downright calamity" The twenty
acres that Martin picked out cost him
$3.50 an acre, though surrounding land
was worth $50 to SIS. 1t was rocky
and not worth farming, according to
Martins neighbors, who laughed at him
for while. He paid 800 down and
gave a mortgage; the rest of his mon
ey he used to buy farm implements and
| livestock.
| Today Martin is caring for his fam
| lily and saving $1,000 a year. He has
a standing offer of $2.500 f. his farm,
which is ten times what he paid for it;
he is out OF debt, has a good house,
| fine barns, and money in the bank
He does not wish to farm any more
| land, but wants to farm what he has
better than he does now" according to
the bulletin Of the department of agri-
culture.
Not foot of his twenty. acres has
been allowed to remain idle, and two
and three crops are raised on every
acre every year. While he raises some
fruit-he has 800 pear trees, 200 cher
ry trees, 800 peach trees and few
apple trees; his principal crops are
the usual farm crops OF Nebraska. His
neighbors who used to laugh at him
now say that he makes more from his
twenty acres than they make from their
| 100 acre farms.

| intensive methods pursued by Mr.. Mar
tin are of particular interest. The land

and the corn is in the shock before 1T
is time to dig the potatoes. Some per-
tions OF the potato patch are sowed
with millet and sorghum just before
the last cultivation. This makes a
good crop feed, and does not hurt the
potatoes. Squashes are sometimes
planted in the same way. The onion
patches grow corn and melons, which
are planted in rows between the onions.

SANE old FREAK
SHOWS UP AGAIN
SIX FIRES DURING THE PAST
MONTH ARE PUNCHED AROUND
THE TENTH THE RECORD
SHOWS THIS HAS BEEN RULE
FOR MONTHS PAST.

Why is it that fires in Fargo come in
punches of three or four, clustered
about one date? The members of the
Fargo fire department have tried to
figure this out but up to the present
time have been unsuccessful.
The records for months back show
that three or four fires-the majority
during the month-are conferred around
one date. Some explain this fact by
declaring that quiet few of the fires
are of incendiary origin. However
Chief Sutherland is able to trace the
origin of many, and to a certain de-
gree this is exploded.
The monthly report OF Chief Suther-
land for November shows that there
were no damaging flames. Three gall
Ions of chemicals was the most used
at any fire, the water never being
turned on. The loss for the entire six
was insignificant.
The dates for the fires are:
NOV. DIR. VidaIs barn.
Nov. 9--Magill block
Nov. 9.-Elkberg residence.
Nov. 10-Rear deLendrecie block.
Nov. 12-European hotel.
Nov. 24-Merchants hotel.

TWO PRAIRIE FIRES STARTED
Considerable Damage Done Near
Hermosa on Sunday-Shacks and
Hay Lickei up.


A prairie fire famed by the strong
wind Sunday, burned a large section
of country near Hermosa The fire
was started by spark from an engine
on the Northwestern about three miles
TO the north of the town, and before
it could be extinguished burned over
a tract four miles in extent, destroy
ing large amount of hay in stack
and several homesteaders shacks. Up
wards of two hundred men were en-
gagged in fighting the progress of the
fire, which number inclnded a Waycar
load of people sent to the scene by the
railroad company.
Another fire started six miles south
of Hermosa on the west side of the
tracks and burned distance of two
miles along the track, crossing to the
easterly side through a culvert where
it got into lot of tumble weeds,
which ignited and were blown over
the prairie, setting more grass on fire
and making it more strenuous for the
tfre-fghters to gain control of the fire.
A large amount Of hay was destroyed,
Nose HALEY losing ten stacks. Fred
G. Seirth lost his house and hay Sc
cured for the winter.

HIS DECISION
IS H0DIFIE:D
Land Entry Case From Sioux
City is Again in the
LimeIight.
SAYS Il MAS not A SWEEPING DECISION
Commissioner Proudfoot Decided
Case on Points and not as Pre-
ccdcnt of any Kind.

A different light has been thrown
on the decision of j. II. Proudfoot,
general land commissioner, SO far as
it relates to the case Of a photograph
of Sioux City, who had a claim in
South Dakota on which his wife had
resided while he conducted gallery
in his home city and made occasional
visits. The party in question was
M. w. Youngberg, and, following the
decision by Mr.. Proudfoot, he took
the matter up with Congressman
Hubbard to determine whether the
decision was valid. The testimony
submitted, on which the decision
was based, showed lack OF improve
ments and cultivation Of the proper
ty, together with lack of residence of
the entryman in person. The follow
ing article published in the Sioux
City Journal would indicate the de-
cision had bearing only on the case in
question and in no way established a
precedent on which homesteaders
may depend:
"I'llat the ruling in the M. n.
Youngberg case by the United States
homestead land office applied to that
individual case and does not establish
a precedent as to whether the pres
ence of a mans wife and household
goods constitutes a residence, is the
information which has been received
by Congressman e. III. Hubbard from
j.. Fl. Proudfoot, general commits
sioner Of the land Office at Washing
ton.
"When the decision was rendered
revoking Youngberg's title to claim
in South Dakota. a.many Sioux Cityans
who believed that their cases were
identical, found themselves on the
anxious seat and sought to secure in
formation from the land authorities
The matter was taken up with com
missioner Proudfoot by Congressman
Hubbard, who asked that he be sem
a copy of the decision.
"rhe ruling Of the Youngberg case
according to the report, was based Of
4 the fact that he himself had left th
claim before his wife formally tool
/ possession of it. 1t does not apply i
cases where men who have home
steaded have been absent from TIL
A land, leaving their families in charge

HOLD BIG
POULTRY SHOW
Black Hills Poultry Associa-

AEAAs BENEFIT TO The BREEDERS OF F0nLS

'pecially on Account of Prices
in This Section.

will hold it's annual show in this city
four days, January IS, 10, 20 and q,
1910. Derthick's opera house has been
secured and the people of Rapid have
Joined the association in offering prem
iums in the aggregate of 81, 250 for the
various classes of bird exhibits. The
association and citizens will see to it
that the exhibition is the largest and
finest ever held in the state, and they
propose to spare no expense in bring
ing exhibitors from other states where
poultry raising has become a fixed in
dustry and where the profits are fully
realized. This will be the sixth an
nual show and as the association has
profted by its past successes all the
wisdom acquired will be utilized in
this years effort. 1t will therefore
pay everyone west of the Missouri
river at least to be present each day,
and, if they have any birds, to exhibit
them, giving an object lesson of what
can and is being accomplished in tile
betterment of farm returns by the
raising of poultry.
The poultry statistics show that it
is a mortgage litter for the farmer
and those engaged in it exclusively.
Take Minnesota, a comparatively new
state, as an illustration. The statis-
tics of 1908 show the valuation from
poultry alone was s53, 3,s65,342 This
was over Sl4, 900, 900 over what it was
in 1907, and for 1909 the state statis-
tician is claiming an increase Of fully
500, 600, 900 over 1908, which will bring
the 1909 total RECEIPT to over S73,000,-
900. Statistics also show that only a
very few years ago the total receipt
was. about 81, 1000, 900, SO it is readily
seen the people of that state have
protitted immensely by raising poul-
try. But to revert to South Dakota,
/ the statistics for 1908 so far as obtain
able show receipts of only SIS, $50, 000-
not atenth what it should show. The
Black Hills estimate Of purchases Of
poultry from Missouri and Nebraska
last year amounted to 81, ,2S5, ,360. This
estimate is based on statements Of i'm
ports from those states by wholesal-
ers, basing eggs at $6 per case and
poultry at II cents a pound-both Of
which are low, viewed in the light Of
prices at retail.
At Deadwood last winter eggs never
went below so cents on the retail mar
ket and from that price to 60 and rs
cents before the spring laying season
was reached. With such prices and
with an increasing demand for eggs
and poultry in the Hills country, there
is no question Of great benefit to farm
ers and fanciers. The poultry indus
try leads all others in the United
States and returns several times more
money per year than does wheat. In
fact i1 would take the combined pro-
duction of wheat and hay to anywhere
near reach the poultry.
A. McGill of Speartish, was here a
few days last week arranging for the
show and met with excellent success
in enlisting the cooperation of the
people Of Rapid City.
