a FREE AND INDEPENDENT LIFE.

In the eastern part of the state, the seventeen
year locusts are playing havoc with the foliage,
while the curt worms doing things to the gar
dens and cornfelds. The grass hoppers in some
: places are making their presence known while
throughout THE state the fickerails eat and destroy
thousands Of dollars worth OF grain every year.
Oftimes the grain is attacked by rust, while nax is
subject to wilt and canker. Scab and bugs dan.
age the potato crop and unless one 10 careful his
largest crop is weeds and the varieties
enough. The farmer has to contend with these
and numerous other difficulties, and If perchance 10

which he has to buy well for that which he
sells. And still you often hear of the free and
easy life on the farm Why, the farmer has al.
most hard time as the editor Of newspaper.

better place than North Dakota, the promised
land?

a HAPPIER VIEW.

In farming as in other lines of business, for
farming is nothing more than q great big bust
ness run on scientific basis, there is always the
brighter side. Just now, the conditions all over
the state could not be roster. The grain is shad
ing the ground nicely and what moisture there is
in the soil, which is no small amount, will remain
there for the most part, TO feed the life OF the
plant as required The stand Is excellent. In
most Of the fields, the grain has stooled out so
well that the drill rows are no longer dscernable.
While many fields are weedy, the grain has made
such Roadway that the weeds not given half
chance The hot wind period has been passed and
the farmer reposes contentedy, worrying only
about how he will spend the money from thirty
bushel crop. Our crop is as good made.
Our drinking fountain is appreciated much these

WHEN GOOD FELLOWS GET TOGETHER.

Nearly 200 North Dakota editors and their fam
lilies gathered at Devils Lake last Friday for the
annual convention the largest gathering OF the
kind ever held in the state, and we want to say
right here that this was as fine gathering of the
kind Of which any state in this great and glorious
union boosted, "if we do say it. who shouldn't"
Aunt Samantha world put it. We are proud OF
North Dakota editors. Our North Dakota pa

gems. The North Dakota editor is versatile fell
low. He is musician, evidenced by Sam
Sousa Hazett and his twenty musical artists who
played the most difficult airs at sight and played
them we'll, notwithstanding that they had had no
practice. He is ball player, plainly shown
by the fact that the editorial team easily won the
game from the Devils Lake lawyers. The associa-
ton boast OF umpire, Col. Ed Richter who
who would be credit to any league. The colonel
is actor WE'LL and some mean enough to
declare that at times he is bad actor. Good writ
not always good speakers, yet Percy Trub-
ashaw demonstrated that he can do both and there
numerous OTHERS. North Dakota's sweet sing
er, Norman B. Black Of the Grand Forks Evening
Times, is perhaps the most popular solost in the
state. Mr.. Blacks accomplishment only goes to
show that our N. D. editors can do something be-
sides figure out over head cost And so We might

accomplishments of the men who comprise ed-
torial association. They bright, cheery. OPP

that, he's handy kind Of nuisance to have

The editors of the state report that the past
year has been one of the best in the history OF
the profession, from moneymaking standpoint
and it wasn't by virtue Of political preterment
either Fact OF the matter is, the editor has
ceased to be fool He no longer is in business
for his health. He knows how to charge for what
he does and he knows enough not to over charge,
either One extreme is as bad as the other. He
has ceased to be subject ct charity. Wonderful
progress has been made in the profession. The
days Of the patched-trousered editors are past.
He has been innoculated with the virus OF the
overhead cost bee He Is immune to the sting Of
the mosquito which fits htther and thther looking
for cheap prices. Why, some of the editors act
ually carry their own check book and as surpris-
ing as it may sound their checks have been known
to go through without protest.

North Dakota is changing to diversified farming,
and nothing be done to put the state faster to
the front as the home Of prosperous farmers 1t
took Minnesota a number of years to turn from
wheat to dairying and all that diversified farming
impulse North Dakota has better examples, and
is following them rather rapidly. Mr.. Johnston
has found it profitable to raise corn and oats
and barley and turn it into eggs and chickens and
butter than to sell the raw product it were
from which the other is obtained. By making the
farm q place where all the processes belonging TO
farming are carried to their higher development
any farmer can usually profit more than by per-
uniting another to finish the creation Of the wealth
which should have been done by him.
