The HARVEST OF 1910.

/
The proof Of the pudding Is In the
eating Of it--and the crops have been
mostly sold The day OF estimates is
over and the people know pretty
closely where they are at.
1t Is a singular fact that almost all
over North Dakota the threshing ma
chine results showed larger yields than
the farmers estimates. The reverse
of this is usually the case. The expla-
nation of the underestimate of the
grain in North Dakota is that the
farmers were deceived on account of
the sl1ortness~ OF the straw-but the
heads were better filled than had been
expected.
But still more singular fact is that
all over the United States and in all
sorts of crops and crop conditions
similar underestimate seems to have
prevailed. The crops of 1910 have
turned out considerably better than
the government figures indicated.
1t is now asserted that in total dollar
value they will exceed $4,000, 100000
That is sum so vast and incompre-
hensible that it is useless for the mind
to try to grapple with 1t unless trans
lated into other terms.
1t would purchase nearly all the
railroads of the United States at their
full selling value. 1t would do other
great things also that one has not
time to figure out There is not much
danger Of hard times-when that
amount Of money is circulating
through the hands of the men who
raised and sold these crops.

Trains Going West.
CHEAPER LIVING.

There is no denying the fact that
Fargo is handicapped to some extent
in holding residents and securing new
ones by the high cost Of living. Many
people come here to locate and after
discovering what their expenses will
be they become alarmed and return
east-where living is cheaper even If
they receive less wages.
There have been numerous incidents
of this kind. One firm has brought
dozens of families here. Some of
them left within a month and others
after three to six months-despite the
fact they were receiving more pay for
the same kind of work than they could
get back in their old homes.
If Fargo is to get new people and
retain those now here some organized
efforts should be made to reduce the
cost of living as much as possible.
The Forum believes this can be done
through the central market plan.
Other cities find it a success, why not
Fargo? If the cost of living could be
reduced 20 to 25 per cent-Fargo's
population would be increased 1000
annually for that reason alone. If
people could live cheaper it would
be more easy to secure enterprises
and the reduced cost of living would
help in more ways than one.

Dickinson Post: Governor Burke
has opened his campaign in the east
ern part of the state and instead of
advocating the election Of the entire
state ticket, he spoke mostly of him
self and the duty the people owe to
him to once more elect him to the
office he now holds
1t Is all Burke with him and those
republicans who still have a leaning
to the insurgent element, IL there be
any, should by this time know that
in all that pertains to the election
the governor is working for himself
and himself alone. Without the help
of the republicans Mr.. Burke stands
no chance of being reelected governor.
He could never have been elected had
1t not been for the assistance that he
received from the disgruptled members
of the majority party. This election
has resulted already in the sending OF
a democratic senator to Washington.
One might say two democratic sem
ators, for one resigned and another
was appointed by the governor to take
his place. Had the governor appoint
ed an insurgent republican. for in
stance, Tom Marshall, who stood sec
ond in the fight for the nomination,
the insurgents might have some reason
for saying that he was playing square
with them. but he didn't, and he didn't
even appoint the man who was nomi-
mated by the democrats for the SEN
ate, but took practically an unknown
man.
The united republican party is be-
ginning to understand the matter and
it is believed that Mr.. Burke stands no
chance this year. He has played his
hand and showed that under every
and all circumstances he Is a democrat
for the democratic party. North Da.
kota is a republican state and it should
have republican governor, and by
all means should be represented In the
United States senate by republicans
and not by just one republican and a
democrat. 1t is up to the republicans
