The best way for the merchants
of town to keep every foreign COM
peting advertiser out of their home
paper is to combine and buy all the
space the home paper has to give
and utilize it for their own good
This would place the paper under
obligations to them and, besides
the editor, could then conscientious
ly blow the trumpet of home inter
ests against all the world.

primarily and is also exceedingly val
liable in Its secondary advantages be-
cause Of clearing the soil Of weeds
1t Is interesting to note that the
agricultural products OF North Da-
kota for the year 1911 are the greatest
Of any OF the northwestern states, those
of this state being $3.50, 900, 600; Min
nesota comes next with S14s, 600, 900;
South Dakota is third with sea-
100000: Washington next, with
s63.000,000; Montana and Ore
gon are each $42,O00,0o0; Idaho, $780,
100000 and Wyoming, $15,OOO,OO0.
In South Dakota the corn crop Is
almost double that of the wheat crop,
while in Minnesota the corn crop is
very near equal to the wheat crop.
The aggregate value Of the crops mem
toned grown I'm North Dakota in 1911
exceeded the total of 1910 by $4,000
600. which is a decidedly handsome ball
ance of trade for this state to have and
shows its great recuperative quail
ties.
The year 1909 was considered q very
prosperous year, and the total value of
the North Dakota products harvested
that fall was $139,000,000 while this
year the value exceeded that OF 1900
by at least 81, 100000, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the state raised ia
5000 bushels less wheat then In 1909.
The fax crop alone this year Is worth
SIT, 100000 more than in 1909 and $685.
100000 more than in 1910. while the
barley crop is 100000 more than in
1909.
AS every year goes by there is a
greater diversity in farming interests
in North Dakota and consequently
more stability.
1t will take some little time to
thresh and market these products. but
eventually the money from this crop
will get into circulation and relieve
the tension which was caused by the
short crop of 1910. These are few
states or communities that would not
have been seriously effected by the
shortage OF last year, but crop bring
ing $93,000,000 more than was harvest
ed in 1910 and from s11, 100000 to $15,-
100000 more than the average output
OF the last five years shows that North
Dakota is all right this fan and with
time and patience the state will be
even more prosperous than it ever has
been, because lessons OF economy have
been taught the results are going to
be shown In better farming in the fu-
ture.
The Forum believes that the figures
OF Mr.. Snow in The Farm-
stead are exceedingly conservative and
in many cases will be exceeded. The
Farmstead is to be congratulated upon
the careful investigation which has
been made concerning agricultural con-
dItions in the northwest.

North Dakota has been known for
many years throughout the union be-
cause Of the superior quality OF wheat
raised here. In consequence of this
many have gained the impression that
wheat was the only crop produced in
North Dakota.
II there was shortage Of the wheat
crop they believed that North Dakota
would be on the verge of bankruptcy.
This IL not any means the case as
already there 10 considerable diversi-
flcation in the products OF the state.
The wheat crop OF North Dakota this
year is estimated to be worth 2,000,-
600, while the total Of farm products
not including live stock-equals $780,
100000.
Flax alone has been produced here
this year to the value of s39,000,000;
