ers in this section of the country
are undertaking these cold days, or
at any other time of the year for
that matter. Still. that is what
Farmer E. E. Hare is, doing this
week.
Farmer Hare has the distinction
Ct being one of the best and most
successful farmers in this section
of the country. he has not been
farming here very long, but he is
a hustler and has some up.to, date
methods which are bound to win,
and which will be ,.dopted and
followed by his neighbors. One
of them will be the fertilizing of
the soil in the proper manner.
Mr.. Hare came to this county
from Wisconsin less than two years
ago, and brought a farm OF 200
acres in Weber township. He
began grubbing out the stones
which he found on the fields, and
ditching out some of the low spots
his neighbors considered sloughs.
When he broke the land last
spring and planted it to corn there
were few who smiled derisively
and predicted crop failure for
Mr.. Hare. When he sank the
cultivator shoes "a couple of inches
under the surface of the soil there
were more smiles, but the crops
grew and Mr.. Hare took If one OF
the best crops this section of the
state boasted of last fall. In the
place of stones the willy farmer put
manure from his own barnyard
and from those OF his neighbors
That was the secret of the great
productiveness of his new North
Dakota acres and he is going in on
a more extensive scale this
coming season. In addition to
his own farm he will operate a
rented piece of land and he is go,
ing to blanket the whole works
with a liberal coat of fertilizer.
Mr.. Hare has commenced haul
ing from several points in Havana.
The distance to his farm is five
miles but he considers the time
and expense we'll worth while and
by spring he expects to have the
job finished. While other farmers
are permitting their barnyard
waste to peacefully rot along with
the implements left in the fields
last fall, Mr.. Hare is laying the
foundations of a fat bank account
next season. He has the right
idea and volumes may be written
on the subject.
A serial story covering many
pages might also be written on the
short sightedness of permitting
farm implements to remain in the
fields all winter subject to the
cording influences of the elements.
Hurrying to riches through the
fax and wheat routes have proved
a lasting failure in older sections
of the country. Sargent county
will some day return to bossy and
the corn fields and diversified
farming, and the abandoned
creameries which now stand as
monuments of ldleness will some
day be set in motion aud the farm
ers' bank accounts will begin to
show steady and substantial in
creases. It only requires the influx
of a few more farmers who will
take hold of matters in the fashion
of Farmer Hare.
