Corn a Sure Crop

The condition of the corn crop
through this section of the state
this year, Notwithstanding the lack
of normal rainfall, ought to be an
inspiration to every farmer to let
no year go by without cultivating
a good sized field of corn. It is g
pretty nearly sure crop in this Sec
tion, furnishes splendid feed and
fodder, puts the soil in good shape,
cleans out the weeds, and no farm
er should be without his corn
patch. And wheat on corn land.
or potatoes, produces a better yield.
The soil is we'll pulverized and
clean, and retains moisture better.
There ought to be a corn campaign
all through the western part of
North Dakota. The acreage should
be doubled or trebled. And there
should be hogs and cattle to fatten
on it.-Tribune.

The rains of the past few days
have been of benefit to corn, fax,
potatoes and fodder crops, and
will help out the grass crop. North
Dakota is a state Of splendid re-
cuperative qualities, and this crop
shortage is only a temporary con-
dition. 1t will not affect land
values although it may temporarily
check land movement, for the
reason that large transactions
in land will not be as easy to
finance as in years when crops are
are plentiful. Sensible economy
will be one lesson of the crop
shortage that will be learned with
profit. There will be fewer auto
mobiles purchased, fewer in
vestments in additional lands
made, business will be done on a
little closer credit, and loans will
not be encouraged except to take
care of necessary obligations. The
bankers can do much to help to
solve the situation and the indica-
tions are shat they will do their
share. The larger banks of the

GLAD
TO GET BACK
Fifteen Thousand Americans Who
Are Tired Of Canadian Land
Experiment, Return.

Nearly every paper we pick up
contains some account of the re-
turning daily of some farmers who
have tasted of the wonderful farm
life Of Canada and have been glad
to get back to good old U. 8. A.
The tide of immigration of home
seekers to Canada, which has been
the. subject of great concern to the
administrators of the public do
main for the last few years, has
turned in the opinion of officials of
the reclamation service During
the last nine months $4,000 settlers
returned to the states from Cana
da and great many more are ex-
pected back in the near futnre.
Clarance j. Blanchard, statisti-
clan of the reclamation service, re-
ports that he has interviewed a
great number of settlers in Mon
tana who had tried the Canadian
experiment but were glad to return
home.
The American settlers we're dis
satisfied with the character of the
land, the crops from which they
alleged, consisted principally of al
falfa and such hardy grains as win.
ter wheat, and even these were not
sure. The form of government did
not appeal to them, and they con-
sidered the freight rates exhorb-
liant.

TO the Flax Growers

This is one Of the driest years
that North Dakota farmers have
ever experienced. Flax on old fax
lands has not only had to compete
with wilt but it has suffered under
drouth conditions more severely
than the crop can usually with
stand.
Many farmers who have sown
fax on old fax lands find that the
wilt in connection with the intense
drouth has been very severe.
/ am writing this to say that no
farmer should allow the fact that
there is only a small amount Of
fax seed produced in the crop PEI
acre to prevent him from saving
the seed which does grow, for the
fax plants which are able to with.
stand both drouth and wilt will
produce seed which is Of the high
est value.
Even fax which is quite thor
oughly, resistant during ordinary
years is unable e Withstand the

siys drouth conditions that have
