location made by the American farm

~ true with US as in most European
countries that families live for genera
tons on the same land or in the same
localities. Throughout the history of
American agriculture there has always
been a strong tendency>fo consider
able portion of the population in de-
veloped communities to better their
condition by radical change of To-
cation rather than by more intensive
methods on nearby soil. The rapid
settlement and development Of all
western communities in the United
States is now proceeding by contribu-
tions of population from older east
ern communities. One can go into
eastern communities and be questioned
indefinitely about certain localities
concerning the very points discussed
in the soil survey report. Thousands

on the soils, climate, character of the
people, price of land and all such kin

Even single reliable crop average is
eagerly sought and seized upon by the
prospective settler as basis for in
telligent comparisons. If the soil sur

eastern families who are determined
on moving, yet hesitate to move blind
ly, it is entirely possible that benefit
would accrue to all concerned. The
development Of the soil resources Of
Barnes county needs more people
worse than it needs any other one
thing. Even though great deal can
be accomplished, yet the full, careful,
more intensive development demands
a greater expenditure Of time and Ia
Dor than the present population can
apply. 1t need not be looked upon as
an entirely selfish plan when the east
ern families are presented the infor-
nation on this area with the idea OF
inducing their settlement here. If the

THE $1,000 wheat PRIZE
WON BY MONTANA FARMERS

The SIS, 600 prize for the best five BUSH

the Minneapolis Land Show, November
1928, 1912, was won by Joseph p.
Nash and Charles Bridgeman. ranching
partners on the Northern Pacific Rail-
way in Shields Valley of Montana.
This prize was the big Trophy of
the Land Show and there were some so
or 50 entries in competition for it. The
wheat that won the prize was the
Turkey Red" variety and the prize
consisted of a Big Four 80" gasoline
farm tractor and a set of Emerson
Birmingham lift gang plows. This
wheat weighed so pounds to the bushel
and then some,'' and the yield was
50 1-3 bushels to the acre from a 52-acre
field.
The prize winning wheat was not the
highest scoring wheat by the CONNER
cial score card but it was AZ points
better than No. 2 Northern Spring. the
miller's standard on the milling test.
The wonderful yield which Nash &
Bridgeman realized from carefully Sc
lecting their seed and the natural fertil-
ity of the soil of the Shields river val
ley, placed the prize in the hands OF

SYMPHONY CLUB IS

The Schubert Symphony Club and
ladies quarettte will be at the Dickinson
opera house on Monday night. December
23rd, under the auspices of the Congre-
gational church. The Schubert people need
no introduction to the people of Dick
inson. Their entertainment is an espec-
tally fine n and it will pay every one
to make an effort to hear them. The
seats are sold at seventy five cents. a
very nominal price, and within easy
reach of everyone.
A clipping taken from the Winnipeg
Telegram of a recen issue says in re-
gard to the S%chuberts:

DICKINSON HIGH SCHOOL
Defeat alENDIvE GIANTS

A large and enthusiastic crowd of
spectators watched the local high school
basketball team defeat the fast team
representing the Glendive high
school last Friday evening. The
final score wat 80 to 10 and the
Dickinson fans were much pleased with
the way our boys played basketball.
The visitors were much heavier all
around and at first the spectators were
inclined to think it would be their
game. They are basketball artists and
are recognized as one of the best high
school teams in their part of the state.
Their big center Calvin is a head over
any of our boys and is fast and strong
but his strength was closely watched
on Friday evening and not many of his
balls fell around the basket.
Both teams gave the finest exhibition
of team work but the local guards.
Alonzo Nichols and Dewey Wiley. were
always right there at the right time and
did the right thing, keeping their op-
ponents from scoring but four field
baskets.
The strange floor was something of
a handicap to the visitors and they
were probably not used to playing such
q fast game. The local forwards, Ro-
quette and McCutchan. are all around
athletes and so sure-footed and swift
that their guards could not hold them
down. Soules as center held his end
of the game down with the best of them
even though matched against a center
very much larger.

The line up was as follows

Dewey Wiley. the new member of
the team this year, played a splendid
game and has good basketball calibre.
The local high school team went
to Bismarck Friday for a game with the
high school team at that place in the
evening.
The preliminaries last Friday evening
were between the 18th and 9Th grade
boys and resulted in defeat for the
older boys by scores of 16 and s. On
the 9Th grade team were Harold Parker,
