CLUB Will BOOST
VALUES OF Land
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS AN
ACRE ORGANIZATION PLANNED
IN WESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA.

Minot, N. D., Aug. Z. Western
North Dakota is planning on forming
$100-an-acre club, its object being
to promote agricultural conditions that
in a few years will make every acre
OF good land worth 500 an acre.
The farmers are basing their belief
on the published statement of James
j. Hill that there is not an acre Of
good land in the flickertail state that
Is not worth 500 an acre, and upon
the further fact that several western
North Dakota farmers the last few
years have made 500 an acre from
certain fields.
One Illustration,
IF an acre OF ground in North Da-
kota will produce 500 worth OF crops
In one year, is it not cheap at 500
an acre?' Is the argument of the farm
ers. A concrete illustration of this
Is furnished by John r. Brand Of Lo-
gan, n. D., southeast Of Minot, who, in
the spring Of 1910, an exceptionally
bad year for crops in North Dakota,
planted twenty acres Of potatoes. Mr..
Brand also planted two quarter Sec
tions of wheat AS a result of the dry
weather his wheat crop was almost a
total failure, but his potato patch pro-
duced abundantIy. After saving seed
for the next year and keeping enough
potatoes for the members of his fam
lily, Mr.. Brand sold 1890 worth from
the twenty acres.
In 1911 he planted about the same
acreage to potatoes and by Aug. 1 had
sold over $500 worth, and had scarcely
begun to dig them. He sold his 1911
potatoes for from 50 to 81 a bushel.
Prospects Frightening.
Harvest in western North Dakota
will begin about Aug. is. and from
present indications the yield win be
much larger than was expected three
weeks ago. This section received three
good rains in July, and the precipita-
ton in August already has amounted
to three inches.
The heavy rains practically insure a
good flax crop, and farmers state that
there has been q tremendous improve
ment In wheat. Corn, though rather
Late looks good. The acreage is three
times what it has ever been before in
northeastern North Dakota. and will
insure plenty Of fodder. The fax acre
age is large and indications point to a
good yield.

LEARN in A
HARD School
WESTERN FARMERS ARE GOING
IN MORE AND MORE FOR CROP
INVESTIGATION.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 7. - Farming
conditions in western North Dakota
bid fair to revolutionized by the
evident falling off In crop expectations
for 1911. Until the middle of June
every indication pointed to a record
breaking crop. At Minot the rainfall
In May and June amounted to six
inches, and this came in showers
evenly distributed, and everyone ex-
pected a bumper crop. People did not
realize, however, that as a result OF
the dry season of 1910, the subsoiI
was dry for depth of from Ave to
seven feet and that the rain of May
and June merely started a surface
growth that was not maintained in
the hot days that came between the
middle of June and July Is.
AS q result of this experience. the
farmers Of the western part Of the
state will take no chances another
year, and already are making plans
for system Of crop diversification
which will revolutionize conditions.
The farmers have noticed this year
that winter rye grows abundantly in
western North Dakota. There are sew
eral fine fields of rye in the vicinity
Of Minot which have been harvested
and which produce big crops. Sown in
the fall and getting a big growth early
in the spring. the rye came out ahead
of the dry period of the latter part of
June and the first of July. On the
farm OF r. j. German at Towner. NJ
D., the register OF the Minot landoffice.
winter rye stood nearly five feet high.
A. p. Slocum also harvested a bountf-
full crop on his dairy farm two miles
north of Minot. Thousands of acres
of rye will be planted this fall. This
win be sown on summer fallow land
and on some fields where the wheat
this year is too poor to cut.
Alfalfa is also attracting much at
tention. and the farmers are beginning
to raise milch COWS and creameries
are being started. There are alfalfa
fields in this vicinity which have pro
duced well. The amount of cream
brought to the two Minot ice cream
factories and creameries last year
more than doubled as result OF the
Introduction of the mich COW. Many
farmers are receiving cream checks
sufficient in size to pay their running
expenses and what they make from
other crops on the farm is clear.
Corn Is also proving to be popular
crop in northwestern North Dakota.
corn has done exceptionally well this
season, q fact which will prevent any
shortage Of feed, as happened last
year. It is estimated that more than
10000 acres OF corn were planted near
Minot and this acreage will be doubled
in 1912.
Crop conditions in western North
Dakota are much better than they
were two weeks ago. In the last ten
days this section has received two good
rains, and many fields that appeared
two weeks ago to be almost a failure
will produce partial crop. and the
good fields will produce nearly full
crop. 1t Is estimated that the north
western part Of the state will average
eight bushels Of wheat to the acre.
Many fields will go from ten to twenty
bushels, and there will be some which
will not produce more than two or
three. Flax generally. looks good, al
though more warm weather is needed
to mature good crop.
