MUCH WEALTH FROM
THIS YEARS CROP
Many Farmers Have Lined Their
Pockets With SiIver-Crops Yield
ing Better Than Expected.

That North Dakota is the best
state for farming is impressed more
and more strongly upon us as reports
of 1911 yields continue to come.
Letters which are constantly be-
ing received at the headquarters OF
the North Dakota Publicity Bureau
AZ Grand Forks show phenomenal
profits in many parts of the state.
Clarence Mackey, ten miles south
OF Minot, reports 800 bushels of max
from 40 acres. This is an average
of twenty bushels to the acre. At
50. 20 per bushel, Mr.. Mackey re-
"eived $1,76O, which is pretty fair for
a forty acre tract.
A. c.. Dayton of Glenburn, had 800
acres in flax and he reports that it
is averaging 16 bushels to the acre.
His crop will bring him approximate
ly $4,000.
August Tampke, near Deering, has
just threshed 1900 bushels of flax
from 100 acres. He received $4,000
for his crop. Mr.. Tampke, who came
from Oriska, N. D., purchased the
land two years ago for $4,000.
AS his crop was also a good one last
year, two crops have already paid
| for his farm and left him a good
balance in the bank.
J. B. Taylor received 1900 bush
els Of No. I flax or very nearly
twenty-nine bushels of fax per acre,
which at the price of flax this year
nets him better than $64 90 per acre
Under the head of "A Familiar
Story" The Lawton Republican says
e. Eimans Of Munich, year asu
sold his farm for $4,000, and moved
to California. He returned the other
day, paid the new owner $5,400 and
got his old farm back-and is. de-
lighted.
AS an example of what North Da-
kota land will do, farmer near Max
by the name Of Gkesdahl who bought
a quarter section of land in May
1910. paying $500 for it, He put
140 acres in fax, which gave him
between two and three thousant
bushels which is worth $4,000; the
balance of the land produced so ton.
of hay which is worth $500. Mr.
Gkesdahl has his land and $2,0o(
after harvesting only one crop.

SUPREME court RULES
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Cannot AbATE TAXES
Supreme Court So Decides Wednes-
day-Property Owners Will Have to
Paw Additional Tsxes-Ward Coun-
ty Must Stand Expense Of Trial.

The supreme court Of the
state decided Wednesday that the
Ward county commissioners, and for
that matter any other county com
missioners have no right to abate
lakes, when the local board Of review
has once settled the matter.
The question was raised by Atty.
Geo. MCGEE, in behalf of the city OF
Minot, when he saw that there was
some wholesale abating going on in
the city. The commissioners had
AIKEN it upon themselves 10 reduce the
valuation of real estate for certain
individuals in the city of Minot alone
10 the extent of 100000 during the
present year, This means that ad-
Iitional taxes to the extent Of about
$4,000 will have to be paid.
The commissioners will have a
right only to abate as to classes but
never on the basis of comparative
valuations.
The Independent long ago pointed
cut that the commissioners had been
exceeding their authority, as they do
in a great many instances, but 1t re-
NAMED for the supreme court to give
them the jolt that they so richly de-
served
The expense of the trial will have
% be paid by the couo;y Another
wise way to spend the tax payers
money. Ward county needs a new
set OF county commissioners badly
The supreme court heard the case
last Thursday rendering decision, ecisii2ql1,,
in less than a week. ,.y
The commissioners permitted these
Wholesale abatements notwithstanding
the fact that they were advised by
states attorney Nash by three writ
ten opinions that such attachments
cannot be allowed. The opinions OF
the states attorney practically antici-
pated the present opinion by the
supreme court. The state attorney
office was not cognizant Of the fac'
that abatements were being allowed
until the commencement Of this ac-
tion, the presumption being that the
commissioners would not go contrary
to the advice of the states attorne.
on so obvious matter.
Mr.. Nash was not surprised at The
courts attitude on appeal as it il
strictly in accord with his advice te

to the commencement of this action

FARMERS IN BETTER
SHAPE THIS WINTER
o. NJ. Pierce, Credit Man for the
Minot Grocery, Says Banks and
Machine Houses Should BE Lenient

O. NJ Pierce, credit man for the
Minot Grocery company has been on
the 90 all fall travelling over the
company's territory.
Travelling from Granville to Mohal
last Thursday, he counted % thresh-
ing rigs in operation along the way
and could see from five to seven rigs
from the train continually, along the
wheat line from Kramer to Kenmare.
We will have more money this
winter than we had last" Mr.. Pierce
stated, because the farmers were
not able to thresh very early, conse-
quently they will go into the winter
better fixed. Had they threshed in
September, much of the money would
have been spent. Of course, there
is drawback in not getting much fall
plowing done, but the spring plowing
will be great on account of the large
amount of moisture that has been de-
posted. have travelled from Willis
ton 60 Towner on the G.. N and from
Harvey to Portal on the 500, taking
in all the branch lines Very little
money has moved until the past week.
Money will be easier right along and
If the machine companies and banks
will only do as the wholesale houses
are doing, try to be lenient with the
creditors the farmers will go through
the coming winter without hardships
The only banks that will crowd the
fairness are those whose reserves are
below the average"

Show.

The movement towards placing an
exhibit of the Mouse river loop prod
ucts and resources at the U. S.
Land and Irrigation exposition at Chi
cago, cannot be too highly commend
ed.
The exhibit will be first class in
every particular and would do any
BUSINESS man or farmer su,l to see
what this section can produce In the
As,y Of farm products.
The exposition itself brings the
greatest crowd of any like gathering
during the year in this country. 1t
is estimated that almost million
people will during the five weeks 1t
is open, see it and they largely come
from the farms of the middle west
states. 1t certainly is a great and
economical way to advertise our own
particular section. because seeing
what we can actually produce, In
grain, grasses, corn and vegetables,
beats talking. McHenry, Bottineau,
Ward, Renville and Burke are the
counties thar have Joined in this
movement.
There are ten members of the exc
cutive committee two from each coun
ty, and all are prominently Identified
with their counties. ]. NJ. Devine Of
Minot is the president; F. r. Bickell,
Of TOwner is secretary: T. F. Ken
wald and F.. w. YOungnan are the
executive committee for Ward county.
They are now sending out seven
ty five petitions to be placed in the
several sections of the county, and
hope to secure one third of the legal
voters and taxpayers names. The
commissioners are willing to furnish
| $500 for this great purpose, but
found thenQ was no legal way, other
| than thru a petition from one third
of the voters. Bottineau and Nc
Henry1have already furnished theil
$500. This means but the slight sun
of cents per 100 acres in Ward
county. Every settler brot in will
aid in increasing the value of farm
lessen taxation and return a hundred
fold the expenditure of the 6 cents
that the levy Of $500 will mean.
