The real estate dealers of Minot will make .
united effort to show to the outside world the true
situation in this part Of North Dakota. Systematic
advertising will be DONE illustrated booklets with
some class to them will be sent broadcast over
the land, and the farmers and other investors Of
the east will be given a correct insight into the
agricultural conditions of Northwestern North Da-
kota Strange it may seem, large percentage
OF eastern friends have idea that the largest
part of the soil of North Dakota is worth but a
comparatively small sum. They have received CIR
culars from certain land men quoting low prices
land that more than likely is worth, no more than
is asked for it. We have good land and poor land
in every state. The ten dollar an acre land will
not appeal to the average investor and naturally
most of the good buyers diverted to other
states. Once let it be known that the best of our
land is worth from s35 to $50 an acre. which is alb
solutey correct and the moneyed who really
want make good safe investments will be headed
this way. The real estate dealers have at last
struck the right track

Five hundred million bushels of wheat are con-
sumed annually in the United States for various
purposes This gives about 25 bush els for each
family for -four, the average. Suppose that a
reduction OF ten cents in the price Of bushel
of wheat will directly benefit the consumer that
will saving Of only 81 so each year for
each family, and its C'nch that the consumer
would get the benefit Of it. And still those who
favor the Canadian Reciprocity treaty, desire to
make this small reduction in -four tho the
farmers Of the state lose several million dollars.
1t does not look just right to US.
Right or wrong, il the Canadian Reciprocity ~
agreement is adopted, North Dakota will be de-
livered to the Democratic party in the next Pre-
majority Of North Dakota's population is strongly
opposed to the proposed pact, believing that II 1t
becomes law, the farmers will stand to lose nine
or ten million dollars year in the reduction on
the price Of grain, with absolutely benefit from
any other direction. North Dakota is an agr
cultural state. We do some manufacturing here
but not much. Rob our farmers Of their velvet"
and you Will give this state such set back
that she will not fully recover during the life Of
majority Of us. Protect the farmer, encourage
him by giving him fair price for what he raises,
and with improved methods Of farming, you will
see North Dakota and Minnesota each raising
foo,ooo,o 900 bushels more Of wheat than they are
growing today. The Empire Of Montana Is Just
being opened and she will furnish wheat for count
less numbers We don't have to depsnd upon Can
ada for our wheat and until that time comes, lets
not admit their farm products frss.

It is hopeful sign that we see so many coopera-
tive creamery companies being formed this spring
throughout all sections Of the state. Farmers are
seeing clearly that they cannot depend upon grain
farming alone and be sure Of success North Da-
kota must mix darying with her farming operations.

The Standard Oil Co. has cut the price of kero-

cAMPBElL'S THEORY

When Campbell visited Minot he made state
ment that pretty broad and which does not
agree entirely with the teachings of the
agricultural colleges for years He told
the farmers not to worry about the depletion OF
the soil thru its phosphates for the quantity OF
these used up in ones life time for the growing
of crops is enthusiastically small that it is beyond
appreciation He said the only depletion in the
fertility of the soil is thru wind and water and that
the two chemical elements that necessary to
make the soil productive are contained in the air
and moisture respectively, as nitrogen and hydro
gen. He says that 1t is necessary
for the soil to be gotten into such condition that
the necessary chemical action will take place.
doubling the crop the same acreage. Camp
bells methods seem to be all right, for he always
delivers the goods. We'd like to have the learned
professors agricultural college present their
views on the subject.

We little freckled faced boy toddling along
after his mother drop a piece of candy on the
street crossing the other day. The little fellow
picked it up, all covered with filth and the mother
gave it brush two and handed it back to her
cherub. Some diseased person may have spat upon
the crossing. The very spot where the candy fell
than likely was reekng in germs. That dirty
little piece of candy may cause great deal Of MIS-
chief. What a thoughtless mother!
Now is the time for the farmer to cultivate some
thing besides wheat. 1t is good year to diversity.
Corn, hogs, chickens, cows alfalfa, clover and such
will lend variety to the bill of fare. For the farm
er's wife a well fenced garden, nice lawn, flowers
and trees will help to break the monotony. For
the boys corn and potato contests, raising colts
and calves, with good educational facilities should
be an incentive to stay on the farm with mother
and father Lisbon Free Press !.
The Farm Stock Home will give percentage
OF the money received from its North Dakota sub
scribers to the fund used for farmers institutes
Of the state. Gov. Burke vetoed the increased ap-
preparation BILL passed by both houses Of the leg
tslature without dissenting vote, Notwithstanding
that it costs annually $4,000 to carry on the in
stitute work. there being but $1,000 in the fund at
present. supt. Hoverstad during the past year has
been able to respond to but one call in four. The
work must be kept going.
"The cost of living must be reduced" is the argu.
ment that Is being used largely by those who favor
the Canadian treaty. The cost of living is iairly
high, but wages are also high. During the days
Of fifty cents wheat, farm hands were getting
eighteen and twenty dollars month and they were
glad Of the chance to work. Today North Dakota
farmers pay their hands from $35 to 80 month
and they have to beg men to work even then,
and to ask the average farm hand to milk half
dozen cows, will prove mighty insult. The cost
Of living in cities perhaps has increased. The
manufacturers rather than increase tho wages OF
the employees correspondingly, want to reduce the
cost Of living instead, but do 80 by taking 1t out
Of the farmers hides. The average working man
could save more money than he does. He has
developed extravagent tastes Too often he has
developed champagne appetite on beer salary.
The fault that he Is not getting ahead very fast may
be partially his own
