CREAMERY INDUSTRY
ON THE INCREASE
This State Viii Soon Export Butter and Get a
Good Price for Same the Year Around
Farmers to Profit By II.

While North Dakota has not
gained the headway as a dairy
state the advocates of that line of
farm industry have hopes, yet
good progress has been made on a
basis Of substantially which is
very encouraging. All the condi-
tions for profitable dairying are
here and those who have engeged
in it are reaping rich harvest, so
that one can confidently predict
great future for North Dakota in
that industry. In speaking Of
this interest the Bismarck Tribune
says:
"North Dakota ought to be and
is becoming a great butter state.
North Dakota should export and
not import butter. Butter sells at
an average high price during the
year. Nowhere in the world are
there greater opportunities for the
raising of dairy COWS and the pro-
duction of high class butter, nor is
there any commodity that sells for
a better profit to the farmer,
whether he sells the cream or makes
the butter himself. The dairy
mems convention at jamestown
ought to stimulate the butter ma
king industry. There is a great
field for the growth of this busi-
ness. Corn and clover and other
fodder plants produce abundantly
in this state and furnish the best
feed for dairy COWS. The farmer
who has a dairy herd has an in
come all the year around. He is
not dependent on the grain crop.
He has an income week in and
week out, month in and month out.
He is not dependent on the capric-
es Of the weather. And he is the
farmer who has a bank account
and who succeeds.

am a resident of this community,
it will be my constant aim to

possible occasion.
II will do whatever | can for
the public work that has the good
of the community for its object.
Il will submit to and abide by
majority rule and will not knock
and howl if things are not done
my way.
II will take no radical or ex-
treme position on any question be-
fore the people, and will have due
respect for. the opinions of fellow
townsmen when their opinions are
opposed to mine.
II will try to say something,
good about our town and our peo-
pie, or I'll keep my mouth shut
and cut it out like a man.

good enough to live in and make
money in, it is the proper place to

ton. His companionship has al
ways been with the moral, educa-
tional and legal values of the state.
He is an eminent jurist, a man
of conscience in the definition of
the law.
For many years he was the per-
sonal friend and close companion
of the late q. S. Senator Martin
N. johnson, Of Petersburg, this
state. This friendship continued
until the devoted senator closed
his earthly career.
The people who called Senator
johnson into service feel that
Judge Engerud is the most logical
candidate for U. S. senator.
The man who has fulfilled every
pledge, and performed every pub
lic duty with conscientious 6del-
ity, is worthy Of the highest place
in the minds and hearts of the peo-
pie of this state. Such man is
Edward Engerud of Fargo. For
this reason his candidacy for the
Office of United States senator is
meeting with such marked approx
al on the part of his fellow citizens
in every county thruout the state.
Judge Engerud is opposed to
political factionalism and stands
squarely as national republican;
believing that the republican prin-
ciples of President Taft, properly
sustained by every true republican
will produce the best results to the
American nation.

North and South Dakota.
hows that the yield

such as wheat, oats, barley, flax,

amounted to $l14,691 600, while in
North Dakota Sl38,029,O00 worth

The census of North Dakota
was 536, ,lO3 in 1909 and 498,O77 in
South Dakota, which facts show
that for every person North Dako-
ia has $257.4 40, while South Dako-
ia has only $230.25, giving North
Dakota $27. Is more for every per-
son.
The average price of South Da-

investments bring 1000 while in
South Dakota it is 1870.

GREAT FARMING
CHANCES IN Nd.
The Figures Show That S,441,727
Acres Of Land are Still Un-
cultivated IN State 4

In no other state in the union
are the possibilities Of agriculture
SO unlimited as they are in North
Dakota, the state containing over
100000 acres of ground capable
Of production, and Of which only a
little over one-half has as yet been
placed under cultivation. It is to
agricultural development that
North Dakota pins its faith in the
future, and to which it will always
look for an advancement. Even
its deposits of Ignite coal, SO vast
as to be almost beyond comprehen-
sion, take second place to the
farm.
With such wonderful possible
ties lying before it North Dakota
has good reason for taking a deep
interest in the welfare of its farm
ers, for in their hands rests the
realization Of the hope that the
state will reap the benefits that
may SO easily be obtained by pro-
per development of the common
wealth's richest natural resources.
Everything possible is being done
by the state to bring in new set
tiers and new farmers; to fill the
untenanted lands in the west with
owners, and to protect those who
have already come here through
the operation of such legislative
enactments as the free seed law
and others.
Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor w. g. Gilbreath has
just completed the compilation Of
the farm statistics for the year
1909. He shows that there were a
total of O,l72 farms operated in
the year, with total acreage un-
der cultivation of 12.348,449 acres
or an average Of 200.38 acres in
each farm. Even with this vast
amount of land under cultivation
there still remains SAL, ,727 acres
of ground uncultivated, and which
is suitable for farm purposes. It
is the settling up and cultivation
Of this domain that the state is
now bending its energies most
successfully.
The day of the big farms in
4 North Dakota is rapidly drawing
to a close, and a few years will see
almost their complete disruption.
Farms with their thousands Of
acres will have to be broken up;
more people will live on them and
farming will be carried on in a
more extensive manner. With this
problem Of intensifcation so Ger
tain Of materializing within the
coming few years, it is small won
der that the state, through it's ag-
ricultural college, is teaching the
young men Of today-the farmer
Of tomorrowhow to intensity. ~

men whom he had appointed to office

Warden Bjorke, Oliver knudson, Hell

bid by John Burke for the Scandi

this statement at ArdOch?
"Burke makes himself the issue OF

Forks, Casselton, Kindred, his speech
is all John Burke Burke should not
be thin-skinned about criticism. He
has done several things to be crit
cised for, like the salary grab for
instance. Yet he has criticised re-
lublicans freely with less cause and
with more severity than he has been
criticised.
Appointment Of Senator.
In his message to the legislature
two years ago, Burke said that if he
had to appoint a senator, he would
appoint the man having the highest
number of votes of the people, re-
CARELESS of party. Yet when the
death Of M. N. Johnson made it i'm
pcrative that he act in the senate s
s,ead, did he appoint the man having
the next highest number of votes, as
his statement would have led men to
believe he would do? Did he appoint
Thomas F. Marshall? Or even con-
ceding that Marshall was repub-
lican and Burke democrat, did
Burke appoint the man having the
highest number of democratic votes
in the state, J. l.. Cashel? No. He
appointed Fountain l.. Thompson.
And who was Fountain l.. Thompson?
in the first instance?
Why CasheI Wasn't Appointed.
Col. A. B. Kerlin of Devils Lake,
a member of the state penitentiary
board, told me at the close OF a speech
l made at Devils Lake the reason
Cashel was not appointed United
States senator. He made the state.
ment in the PRESENCE of c. A. Johnson
as we'll as myself.
You see,' he said, 'Cashel op-
posed several of Governor Burke's
appointments, and so he did not get
it. The reason he did not appoint
Purcell at the first instance was be.
cause Purcell was wrong on the rail-
road question. The governor took
him in, stood him in the corner, and
made him get right, before he even
appointed him in the second in
stance
Burke has said that since he was
governor the president of the agricul-
tural college has never made political
speeches. That is true. But none OF
before he was elected.

ernor no deputy game wardens with
their expenses paid by the state ever

been found by the muck-rakers Of
those elections. But they were un.
able to find a single thing against
C. A. Johnson.
1T is just the question OF the old
democratic tanglefoot-theyw want the
republicans of a republican state to
vote for Burke, thereby securing a
democratic administration. But this
is a republican state. 1t is entitled
to two republican United States SEN
ators, two republican congressman, a
republican governor, and to the un-
divided support of all republican vot-
ers at the polls"
