Red River Valley wheat commands
a premium in the worlds markets
and Marshall county produces more
No. hard wheat than any other coun-
ty in this famous valley In fact,
Marshall county can compete with the
world in the production of all small
grains. At the Omaha exposition
in 1910, in competition with the world
A. D. Vansickle was awarded the
$4,000 grand sweepstakes prize for
white oats raised on his farm four
miles from Argyle. At the Minneso-
ia Field Crop Breeders association
contest last January, Mr.. Vansickle
carried Off four first prizes on wheat,
oats, six and two-row barley. MIR.
Vansickle came here from Iowa six
years ago and bought the land that Is
producing this kind of grain for $50
an acre. The land is worth $50 an
acre now.
There is room in Marshall county
for hundreds more such farmers on
land equally as good, that can be
bought at from $35 to $50 an acre, ac-
'cording to location, state of cultiya-
ton and improvements Raw or wild
prairie land can be bought for from
SIS to $25 per acre.
The Marsh farm at Warren, the
county seat, was awarded first pre-
MUM on clover seed at the Omaha
exposition in 19Os,s. in competition

In 1909, H. G. Parr Of Fork town
ship, at the North Dakota State fair
at Grand Forks was awarded first pre-

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT

A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT
A large audience greeted Hilda
Hellstrom Gagnee, the famous Swed-
ish singer, at the Warren Opera House
on Tuesday evening. In her own
inimitable way she rendered many of
the old Swedish folk songs and ditties,
melodies which especially to the older
people recalled memories from the
dear fatherland across the sea. She
kept the audience in good humor dur
ing the entire evening and all were
delighted with the character of the
entertainment. Annar Myhre, the
talented young Norwegian singer, al.
so added to the enjoyment by his droll
character songs and solos. Miss Eva
Ashworth, the pianist, also is an art
ist of rare skill. The three together
make a strong combination of popular
entertainers. No more enjoyable en-
tertainment has ever been given here.
If the company should favor our city
by appearing here again, they can be
assured of still larger audience than
greeted them this time.

THE POTATO MEETING

The Potato Meeting at the City
Hall last Saturday was attended by a
large number of farmers and quite a
few business men, who are anxious to
see a new industry develop in our
midst. L. Lamberson presided as
chairman and G. 3. Spaulding, who
together with Mr.. Lamberson, had at
tended the recent meeting of potato
growers at Moorhead, told about said
meeting and also about what they had
learned from a visit to the farm Of
E. c. Schroeder, Of sabin, the potato
king of Clay county Prof Ziedler,
OF the city schools, c. A. Tullar, Milo
Warner, ]. S. Hilleboe, A. \. Peterson
and others told of their experience in
growing potatoes. In the opinion Of
all, Marshall county soil is well adapt
ed to growing the tubers. In order to
make a success at growing potatoes
commercially on a large scale, it is
important that only one or two varie-
ties be raised, as mixed lots do not
command the best prices. 1t was the
opinion of those present that the Ear
ly Ohio and EARLY Triumph are the
two kinds that ought to be raised
here. In order that farmers may be
enabled to raise their own seed of
d
these potatoes for next years plant
ing, the Peoples Trading Company Of
fered to procure carload of EARLY
Ohios and sell them at cost to the
farmers.
A temporary organization was ef.
fected to be completed, perhaps, at
another meeting to be held on Satur-
day afternoon this week, when C. E..
Brown, of Elk River, prominent po-
tato grower viii be present.

are meeting with great success
Creameries are established through.
out the county and many farmers sell
cream enough to pay the running ex
penses of the farm.
Four years ago, G. w. Holcomb
started in the dairy business in a
small way. Today his farm, three
miles from Argyle, known as the Riv.
erside stock farm, has herd Of 100
thoroughbred Ayrshire stock, forty of
which are milch cows. A milking
machine is used and the farm raises
its own corn for feed. Last year
sixty acres of the farm gave yield of
forty bushels to the acre of corn and
this year eighty acres will be sown.
Hardy varieties of apples. crabap.
pies and plums Of fine quality are
raised.
II. G. Grim of Alma township, plant.
ed half acre patch of strawberries
two years ago as an experiment, from
which he sold berries to the amount
of S10O. Last year he increased the
size of the bed to six acres and finds
the industry very profitable.
Last fall $4,000 worth of poultry
vas shipped from Argyle to eastern
markets,
The county has excellent shipping
facilities. The Winnipeg-St. Paul lines
of the Great Northern and 500 roads
run parallel north and south through
the county about twenty miles apart:
q branch line Of the Great Northern
traverses the eastern townships; q
branch Of the 500 runs east and west
through the southern tiers Of town
ships. while the grain and other pro-
ducts Of the western part d the coun-
ty find their way to market by boat
up the Red River.

each county's tax be placed in the

How ElYinn Fish Ely.

The popular notion that flying fish
beat their wings" is a mistake. If we
are TO rely upon the results of studies
Of these fish made by no less IN au
thority than Captain Barrett Hamilton
It .rpearS that the wings are not true
organs of fight. but rather play the
part Of parachute or an aeroplane
The whole motive power is supplied
by the tail which acts as propeller
and the vibration or quivering of the
wings in the air currents and their
occasional shift Of inclination are not
phenomena connected with the propuI.
sion OF the fish in It's aerial flight.

producers of $4,000 to $4,000 for one
little county.
One OF the best things in this tax
plan is the tax would be levied for
only one year and when this money
is not employed in holding cotton i,
could he loaned to the cotton prod
ucer to make his crop at a low rate
of interest, say 6 per cent.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you think this
plan good and safe one, | would ask
you to publish it in your valuable

Some Eccentric Laws.

In Chicago recently an ordinance
regulating the length of hatpins Great
ed much cutlery, though the reason fol-
objection is not clear to mere man.
But Chicago women would doubtless
start revolution if they lived in Luz
cerne. where law forbids women
wearing hats of more than eighteen
inches diameter or the wearing of for
eign feathers or artificial flowers. II
one wishes to wear ribbons of silk and
gauze license must be procured
which costs eighty cents year.
Norway not long ago passed an act
to the effect that any woman wishing
to wed must first present to the au-
thorities certificate showing that she
is competent in the arts of cooking,
sewing, knitting and embroidery.
Germany has an intelligent and prac.
teal method of dealing with men who
ill-treat their wives. Instead of send
ing them to Jail for continuous period
as is done in this country, and thus de-
priving the family of the mans wages
for that time, the German offender is
arrested on Saturday afternoon as he
leaves his work and released again on
Monday morning. This plan is fol-
lowed until he has served the number
of days of his sentence. During the
period in which the German offender
spends the week-ends away from his
home his earnings are handed over to
his wife.
In Belgium they place premium on
marriage by allowing married man
two votes at an election, as against the
single mans vote. In Madagascar one
must be father or pay for the de-
fault. If man is unmarried or child
less at the age of twenty-five he must
contribute annually $3.75 to the sup
port of the state, and each woman who
has remained single or is childless at
twenty-four is taxed Sl.80 year.
