THE SOUTH TIE LAND FOR BIG CROPS

It must be remembered that
and Of the same fertility will
produce more in the South than
in the North. A bigger croo of
corn, for example, could be grown
on same acre in Iowa. The rea-
son is to be found in the longer
growing season, and more abun-
dant rainfall. The most product
ivescorns are the Southern proli-
tic varieties, which require a
iong season to mature.
This long growing season and
the ability to have a cover crop
on the land during the winter
are also the reasons why, when
the work is gone at in earnest,
Southern soils can be built up so
rapidly and so profitably. The
Southern farmer can planta a crop
of cotton, sow crimson clover in
September, turn the clover down
for corn in the spring, rals e
crop of corn and cowpeas, follow
the corn with oats, sow coWpeas
after the oats, SOW rye after the
cowpeas, and be ready for cot
ton again in the spring. Isn't
there money in such farming,
and a wonderful chance to i'm
prove the soil.
For these reasons, we have
great faith in Southern soils, SC
much faith indeed, that we ex
pect the South to become of the
richest and mos progressive
farming sections of America.
Our "worn-out" lands are only
temporarily worn out, as has
been demonstrated thousands OF
times; our naturally pool lands
can be made good; our swamps,
when drained, are of surprising
fertility; our good soils can be
made till better. Southern
farmers are beginning to learn
that the foundation OF soil build,
ing in the South is an abundant
supply of organic matter; and nc
one coming to this section should
forget this fact for an instant,
no matter what type of soil he
mas to deal with, or whether il
is productive or unproductive
when he takes charge of it. - Pro
gressive Farmer.

the place in quest of the man. he was
met with the declal alton that Gatewood

CROSS MISSOURI ON ICE
NOVEL CONSTRUCTION WORK

Novel methods will be employed by
the 500 railroad in the construction OF
the branch from Plaza. Mountrail Co.,
across the Missouri river into Mckenzie
county and thence into Montana. The
line will be laid this fall as far as the
Missouri river. The surveyors have
found the bed of coulee down which
there is an easy grade. which will car
ry the rails to the river bank. The line
to the river will be in readiness for the
operation of trains early in the winter.
To bring construction materials into
Mckenzie county is no small task. as
the Missouri river presents obstacles
which could not be overcome without
great expense. So, instead of attempt
ing to ship overland. the railroad will
build a track across the river on ice
this winter. and will use the track for
the transportation of construction ma
terials, even to the locomotives and
steam shovels.

GOOD YIELD WINTER RYE
AMOUNT OF SEED NEEDED

One farmer who has threshed his win
ter rye reports yield of 81 bushels an
acre, not SO good as he expected. but
due to its being too thin. he believes.
He sowed bushel last fall. This fall
he will sow bushel and peck to the
acre.
On another farm rye yielded 80 BUSH
els an acre from seeding bushel, and
80 bushels is accounted a good yield.
Evidently the character of soil must de-
termine the amount of seed necessary.
A feature of winter rye is its reliabil-
ity-one can count on a fair yield it
has been shown and farmers are dispos-
ed to increase it's acreage. Winter
wheat here is equally sure if properly
put in as to time. method and grou nd
lin barley stubble. 1t is only q mat
ter of time till the farmers come to it.
Our agricultural college asserts this is
winter wheat section, that it will prove
q reliable crLp in any year of normal
rainfall. and, the agricultural college
men know what they are talking about.

away. In some places grass and weeds
had grown over the drains and even
out into the streets and in times of
heavy rainfall water ran down the mid
die of the street or flooded the sidewalks
instead of having proper channel of
escape. Drains and culverts that have
been filled up for years are now being
cleared out and put into use and Mr..
Dinsdale also uses scythe to cut down
the wealth of unsiehtly weeds that have
grown up along the roadside almost
meeting over the sidewalks in some
places.
A proper condition of the streets and
alleys is one Of the first and foremost
things a city should see to and is one
of the first things noticed by stranger.
Conditions are not sanitary in any city
where dirt is allowed to accumulate in
alleys and yards, where weeds grow at
will and where the streets have not the
proper drainage.
Mr.. Dinsdale has had IA years exper-
ience in bridge and grading work with
the N. P. and knows just what is re-
quired in the making of good road.

VISIT SLOPE METROPOLIS
Two Representatives OF Popular Road Dickinson Saturday. Very
Anxious Learn About Development City and Surrounding
Country Amount of Freight Shipments New Industries,
Future Manufactures, ETC. What Does Visit Mean?

The Milwaukee railload people are
keeping an eye on Dickinson and the
country north and south and nothing of
importance happens here that they do
not know about.
Saturday last T. o. Ramsland. GEN.
eral townsite agent for the Milwaukee,
with headquarters at Lennon. S. D..
and j. H. Fret, travelling agent from
Aberdeen. S. D.. were in Dickinson
in their magnificent touring car.
While there was a positive reticence
as to their movements and purpose, yet
the many questions asked and the in
quiries made with regard to the ship
ments from Dickinson led US to think
their visit was veiled in larger pur-
pose than that of fraternal call.
They learned of the 2. 900. 900 bushels
of grain to be shipped from Dickinson
this fall and of the immense amount in
the country north that must find outlet;
of the big cattle shipments booked for
Dickinson this week by growers who
have for several years shipped over the
500 from Plaza.
Mr.. Ramsland was anxious to hear all
the details of these movements and
was much interested to learn of the new
Dakota Fuel Co. with its 200 tons day
capacity at the outset.
The secretary of the Commercial
Club, hearing of their presence. called
at the St. Charles hotel and freely inter-
viewed them regarding the possibility
Of their breaking into this splendid
field for traffic business.
When asked if the Milwaukee as
contemplating an extension of the New
England branch into Dickinson and fur
ther north, Mr.. Ramsland shook his head
although the shake was more of
positive than a negative one-saying
that what ever the Milwaukee contem-
plated. he was not at liberty to make it
known.
He spoke of the constant improve
ments that Dickinson is making and al
luded to its progressiveness in the
white Way that he saw was under
construction, and the fine new blocks
constructed of handsome Dickinson pres
sed brick-another growing industry of
this section.
The trip overland from Lennon to
Dickinson, said the party, was made

The Grain already cut and that still
uncut was as pretty picture as any
artist could wish. but even more did it
appeal to these railroad representatives
as meaning immense freight shipments
now and greater ones in years to come
and in the future advance of land val
ues.
The party autoed back to Lennon
Saturday afternoon.

CHEAPER MEATS SOON
RESULT OF BIG CROPS


That meat prices are due to take a
tumble will be good news to the con-
sumner at least. Edward Cudahy. presi-
dent of the Cudahy Packing Co. says :
Cheaper meats will come, and come
soon, especially cheaper beef. The sea-
son of erass fed cattle has arrived and
the heavy run of medium grade cattle
will force prices down. Pork will also
drop. but not until about January, when
there will be drop Of about 10 per
cent. By next summer pork will have
dropped one-third.
This is all due to the tremendous
crops now being harvested in the West.
With so much corn and feed of every
kind. meat prices are bound to 60
down. =

ness, report was given of an inter-
view with Milwaukee railroad officials

PURCHASED By FARMERS

Although yet early in the season for
the sale of threshine outfits hardly a
day passes but one or two, of these big
engines, complete with separator, ETC.,
are being sold by our local implement
dealers and taken home by the farmers.
Ono Of these outfits represents from S.
600 to $1,000 and the purchase of 90
many of them this season is another
indications Of the splendid crop con-
dition and general prosperity Of the
county. A farmer who raises bump
er crop this year will not find it diff
cult matter to purchase these big out
Cts which are necessity on the North
Dakota farm. The engine is used in
all the farm work instead of horses and
as soon as the threshine is over plows
will be attached and the ground turned
over for next years crop. These new
engines that are being sold now will
plow good many additional acres Of
Stark county land so that next year
will see much larger percentage in
cultivation than ever before.

WHEN TO sow WINTER RYE
Time Varies At STATIONS

The latter part of August, says the
Agricultural College bulletin or the first
part of September is generally found
to be best to SOW winter wheat or win
ter rye. In the drier districts earlier
seeding seems to be an advantage, al
though our results are not uniform. At
the Williston and Edgley sub-stations
seeding as early as the middle of August
seems to be satisfactory, while at Dick
inson earlier seeding did not do as we'll
as that sown the first part of September.

> Street Commissioned C. M. Dinsdale is
greatly improving the appearance of the
city and the comfort of drivers and pc
destrians by the work he is doing on the
streets. In time Mr.. Dinsdale plans to
completely overhaul all the streets in
the city but this fall he will do those
that are most in need of repair.
Sixteen blocks are already put in
splendid shape and the alleys in the
St. Charles block and the one directly
west have been cleared out and graded
in such way that during heavy rains
the surplus water will be properly car
ried off. high place, or watershed,
causing the water to easily flow each
way to the proper outlets. In one
book he carried out 68 loads of
surplus dirt and gravel. Mr.. Dinsdale
says that if people having buildings in
these blocks would have the gutter pipes
connected with the city sewer system,
thereby carrying off lot of surplus
water, the alleys would not be such
abominable places in the spring and
after heavy rains.
The street east from the Walton &
Davis lumber yards to the city limits
has been made over by Mr.. Dinsdale
and his men. The proper grading and
filling has been done and this stretch of
roadway is in much better shape than
ever before. He has also graded two
blocks on First Avenue East, from north
of the court house to the Chas. Nolan
