L A CONTINUES
IN POPULARITY
However, Farmers are Pay
ing Attention to All
the Branches.

Following Il winter favorable to
agriculture in North Dakota. thou
sands of acres of land in all parts of
the state are already planted to fax.
wheat. barley, oats and other grains.
1t is said that about scventv-tive per
cent Of the spring seeding in the Red
river valley is completed. with the
work we'll along in other sections of
the state, where the early break url
die not overtake the farmers with
little blowing done.
Flax is growing in popularity in
North Dakota and with "a favorabls
season it is expected that this harvest
will be enormous. The crops were
raised extensively in this state last
year and the success, experienced by
those who attempted it has induced
hundreds of others to go into il on a
large scale this year. SO far fax has
been raised in this state for the seed
in the state to handle the straw at
the present time. There have heara
flax straw mills in the state. but they
have neve hoen successful. as the
bulk Of the straw has been burned
and fed.
The farmers in this state. however.
are not overlooking the other branch
es OF agriculture for the fax. and
hundreds Of thousands of acres are
this spring being seeded to other
grains.
With the better farming movement
we'll under way in all sections Of the
state and with dairying being given
much more attention in several dis
tricts. the outlook for a prosperous
year in North Dakota is indeed bright.

Rhode Island First.
Did you ever stop to consider the
fact that Rhode Island. the smallest
state in the union. with an area Of
only 1880 square miles. ranks first Of
all the safes in its percentage of inn
proved roads," asked a good roads
booster this morning. When he was
informed that the reporter had not
given the matter much thought. he
continued with the following interest,"
ing informatton:
Under the direction Of Secretary
Wilson a very comprehensive statis-

cost Of public roads in the United
States has recently been completed
by the office Of public roads. United
States department Of agriculture.
This document reveals many in
teresting facts. Thus. apparently, it
is not because of her small size that
Rhode Island is able to boast of 49.14
per cent of improved roads. for Del
aware with an area of 1850 square
miles has only 6.22 per cent Of inn
proved roads. On the other hand,
Massachusetts with an area of s,3l5
square miles has 40 per cen Of her
roads improved, or very nearly the
same percentage as Rhode Island.
The size of the state, therefore. seems
to have little or no eeffct on the per-
centage Of improved roads.
The Investigations further show
that there are 2,199,645 miles Of pub

OF this vast mileage. only 190.476. or

Navigation Between Buffalo

Navigation on the great lakes be-

day afternoon.
Few boats have piled the lakes SO

attributed to the long and unusually

al days.

will De the first to leave for points
down the lakes is q question that is
furnishing a lot of rivalry between the
captains at the head of the lakes. All
are awaiting orders with impotence
as it is now known that any good
staunch boat can get through with
bu little difficulty.
Reports from points down the lakes
indicate that the ice which formed
during the past winter will no longer
interfere with navigation. The ice is
soft and badly broken up at all points
on the lakes and will disappear with
in a very short time. 1t is said.
1t is probable that one Of the Mu-
tual line boats will he the first to get
away. The Mutual Transit company
will probably start either the North
Lake or North Sea down the lakes not
later than Thursday.
The North Lake has been partially
loaded with grain and is finishing with
package freight. The North Sea is
nearly finished loading package
freight. Both boats hav been over
hauled, both have steam up and are
ready to get away as soon as they get
word.
According to a dispatch received in
Duluth today. Green bay is open for
the season. The steamer Curtis from
Chicago after a cargo Of lumber. is
there. and the Hart line has started
on Its regular passenger run from
Sturgeon bay. The bay is clear Of ice
and various craft are losing no time
in getting out.
The Welland canal was opened for
navigation today. mo boats had ar.
rived, however. to take advantage Of
the fact, probably on account Of the
ice conditions on Lake Erie.
