tenn of locks and dams, would result
In a population increase of 15O,OOO in
a strip of five miles on either side of
the river, that it would directly bene-
fit 10000 people and that there would
be enough river transportation to war
rant the expenditure, Red river inter-
ests appeared before Colonel l.. c.
Potter of st. Paul at special hearing at
Grand Forks.
]. E. Boyle and Meyer J%acobstein in
a report showed that the economic
conditions in the valley would be d.
rectly affected by navigation. The

In opening the hearing Colonel Pot

URGE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
Good Roads Enthusiasts Hope to Sc
cure Legislation.

Good Roads Enthusiasts Hope to Sc
cure Legislation.
When the legislature meets next
month n of the first questions to be
discussed will be the matter of a state
appropriation for highway constrnc-
ton and the proposed forming Of a
state highway commission. North Da-
kota has no such commission, but
there has been agitation for it for
some time and it is believed the mat
ter will be cordially received by the
legislators.
While North Dakota is backward in
the building of bituminous highways
there is a demand for them on the
part of the farmers and all others who
have occasion to use roads. This de-
mand will be brought to the attention
Of the various state representatives.
Road travel is constantly increasing
in North Dakota and the ordinary dirt
highways do not fill the present re-
quirements.
Advocates of better roads will urge
that highways be constructed similar
to the Eastern roads.

Gently for $1,0S0 and there are three

cattle marketed this year and
the returns from butter and milk have
run from 500 to $3.50 a month. The
grain crop brought a return of about
$4,000 and all told the farm netted
$4,000 this year. Only a comparative
few Of the 100 acres of the farm were
sown to wheat. The owners began

RANKS HIGH AS CORN STATE
Better Farming association Gives Re-
suits of Contest,

Better Farming association Gives Re-
suits of Contest.
Results remarkable enough to con
vince the most skeptical that North
Dakota ranks high as a corn state
were obtained in the prize competition
conducted by the Better Farming as
ISOLATION. The results of the contest,
which had $500 in prizes, are an
nounced by the Better Farming special
service bureau at Grand Forks.
To afford a fair basis of competition
to all the state was divided into a
northern and a southern division, $3.50
being awarded each.
Five hundred and thirteen farmers
from all parts of the state were enter
ed in the contest and the yields secur-
ed surprising, even in the unfavorable
season, and clearly showing that North
Dakota stands high as a corr produc.
ing state. ~,
The highest yield in the state was
grown by Harper J. Brush of Lisbon,
Ransom county, a boy twelve a
old, whose field yielded 1877 bushels
gross of mature corn to the acre. Be-
cause he grew less than five acres of
corn the silver sweepstakes cup will
be awarded to the next highest yield,
grown by the we'll known corn grower
of Mayville, Trail county, M. L.. S.
Thorpe, who produced 68.6 bushels of
mature corn to the acre.
Mr.. o. K. Dokhen Of Reynolds,
Grand Forks county, won first place
in the Northern division, with a yield
of 88.25, and Mr.. Clans Lindquist of
Arnegard, Mckenzie county, received
second place with a yield of 65.8 bush
els.

GRAND FORKS CORN SCHOOL
Special Attention Will Be Given Live
Stock interests,

North Dakota's corn and clover con
v%ention, held annually in Grand Forks,
has been fixed for the week of Feb.
3. The Grand Forks Agricultural So
c1ety, under the supervision of which
the meeting will be held, plans to
make the convention a veritable
school of farming methods for farmers
and to this end will establish classes
in various departments, similar to
those started a year ago, and which
proved so acceptable to the delegates.
Under the class system of farm in
struction the farmers gather in groups
for the study of different topics. The
big classes resemble schoolroom gath
erings.
Live stock will be given particular
attention this year. AS one farmer
tersely puts it in a letter to the agri-
cultural directors the state maintains
about twenty-five experimental sta
lions which devote their attention to
grain raising, while live stock is al
lowed, to a certain degree, to shift
for itself.
This year the Grand Forks organiza-
ton will have the cooperation of the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton. o. D. Center, the Grand Forks
representative, has been appointed to
work with Secretary M. G. Bachelor
In arranging the program of class
work and general meetings.
The Grand Forks midwinter fair,
also under the direction of the same
association, will be held the same
week.
