Peanuts Are Raised
.- In North Dakota
NORTH STATE FARMER EXHIBITS
SIX BUSHELS FROM CROP
OF 1912

Fargo, N. D., Sept, 30-Tobacco
and peanuts were successfully grown
in North Dakota this season. While
the total value to the staty of these
crops will not be large, the success
with which these distinctly southern
crops were grown is evidence that the
Dakota climate is not so rigorous
as is generally believed.
Six bushels of peanuts were grown
by Nathan 'Wheatland on his Ransom
county farm. A bushel freshly dug
were exhibited in Lisbon this week.
The quality was fully as good as
southern grown peanuts.
George Leimbacher, another Ransom
county farmer, successfully cultivated
an acre of tobacco which produced
over forty pounds Of fine quality
leaves. The taste and smoking quail
ity of the tobacco is declared excel
lent by experts. The leaves grew to
large size and matured before the
frost. .''.-~.ss Ga .,as--s, -. .-'7sss. ~.

North Dakota Produce
EARLY IN SEASON, MERCHANTS

II inquiries from eastern produce
dealers are any ion Of the de
mand, North Dakota could easily sell
several times the number of chickens
ducks and geese which will be put
on the market in the state this year
without leaving a single one for home
supply.
Local merchants are daily receiving
inquiries from Chicago and Twin City
produce men, asking regarding the
supply of the feathered tribe which
will be put on the market this year,
and stating that they are prepared to
take any quantity in carload lots. C.
c. Chaffee says that he has in the last
two weeks received several letters
asking whether he would undertake
to gather one or more carloads, and
other merchants have received the
same requests. If these inquiries are
an indication of the demand, Thanks
giving turkeys and chickens will take
a good share of the North Dakota
crop to put them on the table,

COMMERCIAL CLUB LAYING PLAN
FOR EXPEDITION TO BISMARCK FAIR
Trip By Auto or Train Will Take Hundreds Of
Barnes County Visitors to Big Industrial
Show Next Month.
(l'rom Mondays Daily

| (From Mondays Daily
If the plans of Secretary Otto Zet
terberg of the Commercial club are
carried to a successful conclusion
Valley City and Barnes county will
send a delegation of at least two hun
dred business men and their families
to Bismarck some time during the big
Industrial Exposition next month.
Last year about this time it was
planned to make the trip with about
| fifty automobiles, leaving Valley City
early in the morning, and arriving dur.
ing the afternoon. The Commercial
club had completed plans for the trip,
when the fall rains set in, making the
roads a sea of mud, and the trip i'm
possible.
It was finally decided to make the
trip by train, and a special car filled
with enthusiasts spent twenty-four
hours at the states capital. While
the delegation was small, it made up
in enthusiasm for lack of numbers,
and the western counties of the state
knew that Barnes was "live one."
This year Secretary Zetterberg pro-
poses to lay plans Off the trip which
will insure a record crowd. 1t now
appears probable that the roads will
be in excellent condition for travelling,
and he believes it will not.be difficult
to secure at least fifty, and possibly
a greater number of cars to make the
trip.

Hard Coal famine
IS Most Critical
DEALER WARNS cONSUM.
ERS TO LAY IN THEIR SUP
PLY OF HARD COAL.

w. D. Jeffrey of the Rogers Jeffrey
Lumber company, in an interview
this morning, speaking Of the local
coal condition said he would advise
all those who needed hard coal be-
tween now and May l, 1918, to lay in
their supply now. If you do not have
ample bin room to throw it on the
ground.
There is little probability of avert
ing the coal shortage said Mr.. JEFF
frey, "and unless the residents of
Valley City take immediate steps to
fill their bins they will be confront
ed with a coal famine and high
prices.
"In anticipation of this hard coal
shortage Valley City people should
not wait for any particular size, but
take what is available, either nut or
stove coal. One is as good as the
other for furnace purposes. While
the smaller size takes a little more
to accomplish the same results, it is
advisable to take what you can get
and get it now"

''Better FdrmlnQ'' i.
Letter to Farmers
SAYS GRAIN THRESHED PREvl
Gus TO STORMS SHOULD BE
KEPT FOR USE As SEED

Now is the time to think about
next years seed. Good seed cannot
be obtained from grain that is here
after threshed from the shock. Grain
saturated with moisture and exposed
to the recent heavy frosts has lost
a good deal of its vitality or its power
to germinate. Again, some OF the
grain has already germinated in the
shock and as a result will not make
seed.
The above facts should precaution
the farmers to take the necessary
steps to obtain good vioble seed
for next year. This can only be OBJ
tanned from the grain that was
threshed previous to the rain and
frost prevailing within the last two
weeks and those having such grain
should make an effort to keep it sep
arate for seeding purposes. -t ...
