MEANS SHORTAGE
Failure to Adopt Better Farming
Methods Would Have Disas-
trOuS Results.

Minot. \. D., Feb. S~.-President
Howard Elliott of the Northern Pa
ciiic railway in an address at the con-
vention of the Mouse River Loop De-
v%elopment association here last night,
stated that unless the farmers of the
United States Immediately put into
effect better farming methods there
will be a shortage of food supplies
in Il few years. He stated that tho
average yield in this country is about
half what it is in Europe where the
land has beer titled for centuries.
He estimated that the population
OF the United States will be 100000
600 in 1850 and the demand for farm
products will be doubled.
President Franklin McVey of the
University Of North Dakota who
made the closing address at the con-
vention last night, predicted a CAPT.
talistic system of farming in. North
Dakota, similar to the present sys-
tenn in Europe as a result OF the
traction engine. To forestall this he
urged that farmers cooperate among
themselves in the use of modern
farm machinery.
