Great Northwest
Is Now Well Fixed
Farm Papers Point out That North
west Is Going To Receive So
100000 More

west Is Gong 10 Receive $40
100000 More
The impression created by
the early summer drouth in parts
of the Dakotas and Minnesota that
the crops in the northwest would
show agreat shortage is not true, is
the sentiment voiced by northwest
ern farm papers. In the last issue
of The Orange Judd Farmer fig
ures from the eight northwest
states show the farm products of
these states will sell for $500, 900.
600, or $1OO,OOO,0OO more than
last year.
A gain in the wheat acreage of
North Dakota and Montana and
the splendid wheat crops in the
Pacific states make up for the
small yield and decreased acreage
in other sections of the northwest,
and the total wheat crop is esti-
mated at 224,OO0,0OO bushels. or
almost as much as last year.
The production of oats has been
influenced much as the wheat. It
is estimated there will be total
of l54, 100000 bushels in the eight
states, or within 10 per cent of last
years great crop. The promise is
for l16,00O,OO0 bushels of corn, a
full crop. The total production Of
fax is said to be nearly double last
years short yield, and there is
some increase in barley.
Owing to the increased value
per bushel of these crops it is said
the farmers in the northw west will
receive much more fore their crops
than they did last year. The total
value of the wheat is said to be
within 5 per cent of last years,
the corn crop is worth 20 per
cent more, there is a like increase
in oats and the value of barley and
fax far exceed that of last wear.
Minnesota farmers are to receive
almost as much for their crops as
they did last year. North Dakota
crops are worthy nearly three
times as much as last year. South
Dakota grains are worth two.thirds
as much as her big crops of 1910,
and a fair allowance for her dry
fodder, silage and improved past.
ures and range will make the total
return of South Dakota farming
almost up to her usual prosperity.
Idaho and Montana crops this
year have q greatly increased val.
uation over those of the past two
years. Alfalfa and potatoes have
added greatly to their prosperity.
It is probable the Pacific north
west will net q larger cash return
TO her farmers in 1911 than for any
previous year. In addition to the
staple crops of Oregon and Wash
ington, hops are commanding *
trsordinary prices. The fruit in
terests are also in fine condition.
Live stock and dairy interests
are getting back into the normal
condition after the early summer
drought, and there will be no such

 TEMPERANCE UNION

Some of these people who are always down and out" and still persist in the drink would do well if they would indulge in the soliloquy as given by Governor Glenn who helped to make his state dry, and is lending his aid in making the nation dry. He says: Drink up dollar? I'd better throw it into the fire, for then it is gone. But if I drink it down, I may go home and beat my wife. or get into the cala- boose I drink up dollar and there goes 8 good cotton hat, doesn'tit9 Idrink up 75 cents and there goes my shirt; g and there.goes my shoes, and drink up $3 and there goes my breech- es, but aint'going any farther. :"
 Governor Glenn then tells that in Gaston.county of his state, N. C., in 1895.96 there were thirty sight government distilleries, and 8 lot more than were scheduled, no schools, hardly church, no roads worth mentioning and only two factories. But ten years ago the people threw out the gin mills, and now there isn't a dis. tillery or a groggery, there are schools for all the boys and girls, churches are being reared to Gods glory, macadam roads run everywhere, and there are fac tories employing 15,0O0 of her citizens.
 No wonder he asks the perti- nent question, (Which will you have?".
 It is easily enough answered except by those who through pure stubbornness refuse to answer as their eyes see and their hearts really feel.
