of men who have materially
helped to make the state Of
North Dakota what it is to-day.
Especially strong is the con-
gressional ticket. Senator Nc
Cumber is known throughout
the nation as the sturdy defend
er of agricultural interests, and
his influence on national legisla-
tion has been most benign for
the interests Of the farmers. No
better man than he can be
found. Judge Engerud, who has
sat on the supreme bench of the
state. the running mate of SEN
ator McCumber, is known in all
parts as clear thinker, endow-
ed at the same time with a big
heart, splendid executive pow
ers, and feryor and honesty of
intent. He has thousands of
admirers throughout the state,
and even here, in eastern Adams
county there are those who have
learned to cherish and honor
him. Only this morning, in a

Tuesday last was primary elec-
ton day on the south side. The
entire state appears to have taken
a lively interest in the vote, al
though the reports thus far had
from Perkins county and the
rest of the new country show a
rather light vote here.
Reports from the country are
slow in coming in, thus far, be-
sides Lennon, only Bison, De-
Witt, White Butte and Meadow
being known which make it diff
cult to determine the victors in
the campaign for nomination to
county office. II. P. Benjamin
appears to have won out over L.
IF. Barrett, for auditor. L 0 r
sheriff Fletcher seems to be in
lead by a very small margin,
Carlson appears to have won out
as register, and Prof. Vallin as
Superintendent of schools. The
nomination for states attorney
still hangs in the scales, although
I22 precincts out of 81 give Stan,

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER
GEORGE v. COX
Piece OF Oats Yields 81 Bushels to
Acre.

One of the best pieces OF grain ever
seen in this vicinity was recently
harvested by George w. Cox OF this
town who owns the farm OF 200 acres
21b miles east of this village near
Dudley's Corner known as the Rick
! err farm, the last occupant being {.
B. Griffin. Mr.. Cox bought this farm
in 1907, but being employed in Mil
linocket at his trade the most of the
time. he did not begin active opera
tions upon it until 1909. He then
planted as a main crop nine acres of
POTATOES which yielded at the average
rate of 300 bushels per acre. This
wear 1910. this same piece being nine
acres by actual measurement, was
sown to oats which averaged feet
in height. One average acre OF pun
dies was counted as dropped by the
reaper giving the astounding number
of 80. He has threshed 300 bushels
and so far every nine bundles make
bushel of grain. This gives a yield
of IS bushels per acre. He also has
five acres of oats, yet growing, two
acres of India wheat, two acres of
fine yellow corn, seven acres of eX-
cellent potatoes and one acre OF
beets, carrots and turnips, and still
acres upon acres OF land only walt
ng for the pillow to become as fertile
as these. And this the farm aban-
doned in disgust by its last owner
as worthless. Mr.. Cox plans to build
large barn next year and a new
house in the near future. He is
practical carpenter and brick mason
finding time to assist his neighbors in
their building and repairing opera
tions. His success is due to his tire
less energy, ably seconded by the help
of his son, Fred R. Cox, who lives at
home, also the entire family wife,
two daughters, and a younger son,
coming noblys to the assistance OF
father and brother in planting and
harvesting.

As Others See Is.

Harold B. Dale of St. Augustine,
Fla, who has been visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. John Currier since the first OF
July, left for his home on Monday.
During his sojourn here he was much
impressed with the up-to-date appear
ance OF Skowhegan, as will appear
from the following letter in the St.
Augustine Evening Record:
Skowhegan, Me-, Aug l 1910.
Editor Record:
In your paper of July 27 an item
from C. VI. Bevan, Denver, Col, says
"Hurrah for o. B. Smith and the no
fence law" | agree with Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Beyan. especially after having
spent the past few weeks in Skowhe-
gan.
In this town of about 5000 inhabi-
tants there are possibly six or eight
places fenced in thomes or other
wiseD The streets are broad and
we'll kept, with handsome shade trees
on both sides; also broad lawns eX-
tending to the edge of the street.
SkoWhegan with the exception of the
business center, reminds one of the
public parks in the large cities, and
this is largely because of the absence
of fences. St Augustine can do like
wise and improve its appearance 30
ner C@ut.
During my short stay in this New
England town | have noticed a gener-
al interest in the South, notable
movement towards the warmer eli
mate, and of these people Florida will
get a large share. One man said: IF
were younger, I'd go 10 Florida; /
believe Flaglers railway is going to
make great opportunities there" st.
Augustine should share in this in
crease of population and wealth but
it's matter entirely in the hands of
the citizens.
Again there are not many cities In
Florida with st. Augustine's natural
advantages. Let us make it the pref
test city in the State with broad
lawns, good sidewalks, broad streets
and no fences.
Respectfully,
II. b Dale.

ADVANCEMENT MADE
IN AGRICULTURE
Conditions of Country
Life Improved
Progressive Farmers Have Been Able
to Secure Good Margin of Profit.
AUGUST u, 1919.

Substantial progress has been
made during the past year in the va
rious branches of the work of the
department" states Hon. Augustus
W. Gilman of FoxNoft, commission
er of agriculture, in his annual re-
port which was presented to the gov
ernor and council recently.
Continuing, the report says
There has been an increasing rec
ognition of the Importance of agricul-
t, re all over the country. The Presi-
dents commission on country life
end the results of it's investigations
Fave given an impetus to the better
ent of rural conditions and the ad
vancement of agricultural pursuits.
Prices for agricultural products
have been we'll maintained and while
the cost of production has necessar-
lily been high, on account of the high
Iice of feed, farm labor, etc, yet the
intelligent, progressive farmer has
teen able to secure good margin Of
profit. The possibilities of farming
when conducted in accordance with
the most approved methods have nev
er been more fully realized than At
present.
There is no longer lack of pro-
gress due to the isolation of the farm
er. The telephone and rural delivery
place him in connection with the
world; the agricultural press, the
Grange, the farmers institutes and
the many cooperative associations
which are now being formed, are
keeping him in touch with the ad-
vanced knowledge in agricultural
lines, and doing much to place his
work on a business basis. The farm
er is becoming man OF affairs in the
State and the nation.
THE yield and quality of most farm
crops was above the average. The
hay crop of the State was materially
reduced by the drought of 1909 and
the preceding season, but many of
the farmers had prepared somewhat
for such an emergency by the plant
ing of supplementary crops, both for
pasturage and for winter feeding. The
dry season was also unfavorable for
the corn shop. Some of the farmers
who had selected early maturing va
rieties and given their corn fields spe-
cial care and cultivation so as to pre-
serve the moisture, raised exceeding
ly fine crops. The corn crop of Maine
is receiving more attention than form
erly. The acreage was above the av-
erage this year and indications war;
rant us in making the assertion that
it will be much larger next season.
The acreage planted to potatoes
exceeded that of any previous year
and the yield was also above the av-
erage in most parts of the State. In
Aroostook county the unfavorable
weather in the fall caused some in
jury to the crop. From the time the
early varieties were placed upon the
market until the close of the year,
potatoes have brought a good price
and have been profitable crop for
the farmer
OUR FRUIT INTEREST.
The apple crop of the State was
light in most sections. There is no
branch of husbandry of so much i'm
portance that has received so little
attention from the average farmer as
orcharding. More attention has been
given of late to the other industries

Work on New Solon. Embdcn Bridge

Work was begun this week on the
abutments of the new Embden-Solon
bridge, There are at present twelve
men az work. They are setting up
the engine and building the tool
house ready 10 begin the cement
work at once. This is going to be
comparatively easy bridge to build as
sand and gravel for use in the con-
crete work are near. The work will
be in charge of Engineer E. E. Green
wood OF Skowhegan. This new bridge
will be open to traffic in the early
spring OF 1911. The old ferry boat
which has been used for over 100
years will be dispensed with and the
boat will be sold TO parties down
river.
