North Dakota Farms are Worth ST.
100000, 10000

The Department at Washington has
Just furnished the statistical bureau
at Grand Forks with additional Cen
sus figures upon the state Of North
Dakota. The Bulletin just issued,
among other things, places the 1910
value of all North Dakota farms at
one thousand million dollars, an in
crease Of over 400 per cent since
1900. The average value per acre
for farm land in the entire state is
$25 SO. Between 1900 and 1910,
there was an increase of ga per cent
in the number of farms and the az
erage size Of farms increased II 5
per cent or 80 a acres.
The value of farm implements IN
the state increased $95,671 900 in the
ten year period while the average
value of each farm increased from
s5,e31 in 1900 to $500 IN 1919.
These figures show remarkable
growth and development OF North
Dakota, and place this state right at
the top az q leader in farming ac-
ttvities.

Wogast and Rivers Are My sterious Just What It

appeared to be labOring under a severe

The only announcement made was
that they had failed to arrive at an

Withdrawn his name from the dis
CusSiOn.
1t is a fact that there is a distinct
opposition from Rivers and Levy to the
demand made by WOlgast that he be
allowed to fight anyone whom ne likes
and as many as he likes before the July
fight
Rivers's position on this point is that.
If Wolgast picks out a soft one and
makes an unimpressiYe fight, it will
hurt the July fight by detracting from
some dangerous fighter, he might pos
slbly be defeated; then Rivers would
have no chance at the title by fighting
him July 4.

Mr. Drum draws salary from his
club for mapping out the routes men
