NORTH DAKOTA
is BEST STATE

jamestown, N. D, Aug. 2o.-John
Johnson OF Buchanan says farmers
are going to get more of a crop than
they figured upon when wheat began
to fill. Much grain has been headed
and this must be threshed as soon
as possible to prevent damage in the
stack, especially IL there may be heavy
rains. The straw is light but the
heads are heavy and we'll filled.
MIR. Johnson recalled the early days
OF the county when he and Jack Nc
Ginnis offered No. l northern wheat in
jamestown, and all that they could
get for 1t was 80 a bushel. They
hauled the grain home and the follow
ing spring disposed of 1t for So cents
a bushel. Wheat today is worth over
dollar bushel in the local market.
Mr.. Johnson is one OF the old resi-
dents and firm in his belief that North
Dakota is about the best state to be
found anywhere, and the man who
stays through thick and thin is the
one who wins out.

IMPROVE ROADS
AT DARLINGTON

Darlington, N. d.. Aug. 2O.-At the
good roads meeting held Friday a tenn
porary organization was formed with
Judge G. S. Campbell as secretary.
There was a good attendance and the
country was quite generally represent
ed. The subject Of good roads was
discussed to considerable extent and
In this discussion the city streets with
reference to their being infested with
hummocks. chasms. boulders and
weeds, received no little attention.
The question of contract work was
brought up and seemed to meet with
universal approval. while the old sys-
tenn OF property owners working out
their road tax was as universally con-
demned. II would seem unquestionably
that better results in road maintain
enee could be had from the services of
one man and team for 365 days than
800 men and teams for one day. Under
the old system the rut that shows up
when the snow goes of In the spring
remains there TO be an annoyance OF
every passerby until about June when
there is = lull In the farm work, and
the rut that develops after harvest has
begun maintains Its existence until
about June OF the following year.
