1912 CORN CROP
is MATURING
BACKWARD CONDITION OF EAR
LY SEASON REVERSED AS
CROP PROGRESSES.

jamestown, N. d., Sept. 13.-With
two weeks of perfect harvesting
weather, interrupted by but one or two
local showers, threshing in this yicin-
ity is well along and the scarcity of
men is quite general, Railroads are
hauling the grain as rapidly as pos
slble, but empties ard elevators are
fast filling UP
The weather has been perfect for
ripening the late grain; corn is ma
turing fast and unless there is a
frost soon North Dakota will harvest
a large corn crop. Flax lis practically
in the clear already. The fine corn
crop prospects come as a surprise to
many, as the backward season early
in the spring forecasted an Insatis-
factory corn crop, but later conditions
reversed.
Many samples of corn fully. ripe are
being brought into the city. pulled
from Stutsman county corn fields.
Samples of northwestern dent from
the Bailey Fuller farm, operated by j.
i. Henderson of this city, indicate
that that farm will yield one of the
best corn crops in the James river
valley, if not in the state. this sea-
son.
Samples of corn also from the Kav-
anaugh farm two miles north OF
y dulSSIOWA eIGnSGh Wy CoIlSS SolLhCNB
formerly of Indiana, also show the
corn practically ripe and the entire
yield of northwestern and white dent
will be pulled within the next week or
two and carefully saved. hung up and
dried for seed. Mr.. and Mrs. Salmon
and sons. Wilson and William, have
spent three years in North Dakota,
leaving their 5000 an acre land in CEN
trail Indiana and are we'll pleased with
the change. They find farming easier
in this state, more acreage can be cul-
tivated with less labor and horses, and
the soil is better. They assert that
$50 acres of soil like that of some
Stutsman farms would bring $500 an
acre in Indiana, and yet it will sell
for but $50 in this state.
The Salmons are practicing scien-
tfic farming, blowing deep, discing
and narrowing their land and rotating
corn, wheat, oats, etc. This year their
spring wheat went thirty-five bushels,
oats s~eventy-nine bushels by weight
and a big yield of cor will be har-
vested. The corn was planted in hills
and check rows. cultivated Ave times,
three times n way and two the
other. Cattle and hogs complete their
practical demonstration of better

THIS DISTRICT.

Valley City, N. D., Sept. 13.-
Ernest A. Greenwood, assistant state
dairy commissioner, has been assigned
to Valley City, for the purpose of
promoting. encouraging and developing
the dairy business in this district. He
has moved his family here and taken
UP his residence at 1909 West Front
street.
MIR, Greenwood is an expert dairy
man and was appointed assistant
dairy commissioner last July because
of his wide experience In dairy work.
Mr.. Greenwood is a Wisconsin man
by birth and education, later going to
Minnesota, where he vas employed in
creamery work as buttermaker and
creamery manager, in some of the
best ~creameries of that state. Two
years ago he accepted a position on
the Johnson stock and farm creamery
at Marion, a position he filled with
satisfaction Il all concerned.
While at Marion he was closely in
touch with one of the large herds of
dairy cows maintained on the John
son farm and as close record has been
kept of each COW, Mr.. Greenwood

acquired a great fund Of practical in

Commissioner Flint said:
Il was pleased to recommend Mr..
Greenwood to Mr.. Gilbreath for APP
pointment because I believe him to be
a clean, industrious, conscientious
young man-one that will make good.
Some may wonder why any one is
added to our force. at this time.
1.-THE conditions are these: The last
legislature made provisions for an adj
ditional assistant but when it came to
the appropriation they failed to pro-
vide funds sufficient to warrant put
ting a man on. BY strict economy we
have left a sum that will take care Of
the work for the balance of the year,
and rs July / is the beginning of
our fiscal year and there is much more
work than present force can
handle, eve with the federal aid we
have been able to secure, / recon-

Leo Kossick, the pride of Fargo and
Moorhead in the boxing line, has been
in the twin cities for the past week
or ten days in the hope of getting a
contest or two in that section, as there
not appear to be anything doing
in this locality Just now. He is partic-
uIarly anxious to get on with Labe
Safro, whom he defeated in Moorhead
some time ago., but it would appear
that Labe isn't at all anxious Tor an
other drubbing. An effort has been
made by Art Lewis, the Moorhead pro
moter, to get a bout for Leo over there
with Jack Beach, but for some reason
or other this has not materiallzeo:
Kossick is a willing young fellow n
wants matches, but just now they APP

expecting a call to either Saskatoon or
Regina or Winnipeg to meet some good
man. and is really to go at n time
provided the purse is right.

Flax will be a fair average yield,
while corn will doubtless be far above
the average. and as a great many
more acres were planted this year than
ever before, 1t will be quite an import
ant factor in the farmers assets. The
farmers are becoming more convinced
each year that corn, hogs and cattle
are the trio that insures success with
the farmer, and every coming year will
experience greater acreages of corn, as
North Dakota is fast developing In a
fine corn raising country, and never
will the farmers of North Dakota
reach that high degree of success, UNI
til they, In place of making wheat a
speciality, make corn such. North Da-

kinds Of stock, will in time be abreast
with the great dairying states of the

Will ADDRESS
The ASSOCIATION

Minot, N. d., Sept. 13.-W. G. Bierd,
vice president and general manager Of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis Railroad
Co, has accepted an invitation to ad-
dress the annual convention of the
Mouse Liver Loop Farmers associa-
ton which meets here next January.
Mn. Bierd, during the past ten days
or two weeks, has been oyer the entire
territory tributary to Minot and has
made a careful investigation of condi-
lions here in view of the company'S
plans to construct q railroad line in
this vicinity, including a line to Minot.
In addition to the fact hat he has
carefully studied conditions among the
farmers in this vicinity, Mr.. Bierd has
always been obliged, in connection
with his railroad work, to keep in close
touch with agricultural conditions in
other states and the officers of the
association are very fortunate in Sc"
curing him for an address here.
Praise for Mihot.
Minot business men came in for some
warn praise or the part of Mr.. Bierd
in connection with their efforts to build
up the rural districts tributary to Mi
not, ~expending more in this direction
than in the actual building up of the
city of Minot. The splendid support
given the Better Farming associations
work by the local business interests,
and the encouragement they have lent
to farmers in every way, while temper
arily meaning far more to the rural
districts. will in the end, according to
MI. Bierd, prove a big factor in build
ing up the magic city.
Mr.. Bierd was pleased to note that
the percentage of increase in popula-
ton of the rural districts ives greater
than that of the city of Minot and he
believes this a splendid sign for the
more prosperous the farming territory
tributary to Mniot the more prosper
Gus the city itself must become.
Should Make Homes Attractive.
Although Mr.. Bierd stated that he
had seer some Of the finest farms in
the country in this vicinity, he believed
that the farmers ought to see to it that
their homes are made more attractive.
If the women and children are to be
kept satisfied with the farm, and the
boys are to become convinced that the
farm is a good place to live and make
a good living, the homes should be
made as pleasant as possible. Attrac-
tive dwellings, trees, flowers, and
plenty of conyeniences should be o
every farm and far less trouble will
be experienced in keeping the boys on
the farm.
Mr.. Bierd was very much delighted
with the conditions he found among
the farmers of this territory and was
more than pleased to accept the invita-
ton extended to him to speak here
next January.
