Several Counties are Con
Structing Silos this Sum-
mer-Much Interest.

Bismarck, n. D., July 31.-It Is
with pride and pleasure that state of.
ticials and others Interested in dairy
ing note the wave of interest in the
industry which is now passing ovel
the state. 1t seems h A at least the
years of educational work which have
preceded the present condition are
beginning to bear fruit, and that oui
people are now thoroughly aroused
to the economic value o COWS and
their product by way Of the silo and
cream can.
Through the efforts of the state de
partment two experienced dairymer
have been assigned by the federal au.
thorities to work in conjunction with
the North Dakota dairy commissions
and his assistants in a combined
ance to our farmers whoever the
same are bought. These gentlemen
are located respectively at Grafton in
Walsh county and Edgeley in La
Moure county. In a general way the
official located at Grafton-Mr. Jack.

will make proper provision for carry

solid foundation is now being laid.
Encouraging Reports.
Reports received from the field OF

MANY sILoS.

Bismarck. N. D.. July 31.-Assistant
Dairy Commissioner e. II. Pierce de-
parted for Lidgerwood where he will
superintend the construction for a silo
for Mr.. Movious. He will spend the
week at Lidgerwood.
Mr.. Pierce received a telegram from
II. Thorson of Drake stating that an
other silo was to be built by Mr.. Thor
son. The latter has just completed the
construction Of a modern dairy farm.
Mr.. Pierce will go to Drake immedi-
ately upon his return from Lidger-
wood.
The number of silos that are being
constructed in North Dakota this year
is fully up to the expectations of the
state dairy department. AS soon as
the farmers see the success their
neighbors are having with silos and
in feeding ensilage to their stock. it
is believed that many hundreds more
silos will be built in North Dakota
during the next yea or two.

a talk in regard to the better farm

Cooper went into the methods en-
ployed here. Otter Tail county is one
nf the ten counties in the state of
Minnesota that expects to take up this
idea and to push it right along. Mr..
Wright said it was with deep regret
that the North Dakota Better Farming
association could no be induced to
cross the line and render assistance
in that state. He was very much
pleased with what he had learned in
Fargo and will explain matters to the
people who sent him here.
Some from South Dakota.

tor of The Dakota Farmer and Mr..

WORKING FAST.
Track Being Put Down for 500 Cutoff
in Record Tme-WiM Build
Many New Towns.

Esmond. N. D., July 31.-The track
laying crew working from the Drake
end of the 500 cutoff have reached
Fillmore. in Benson county, about
forty miles from Drake. The crew
working from the Fordville end have
laid about the same amount of track
and are now near Devils Lake. AT the
present rate of progress the whole
$50 miles of track will be laid by
August 20. The two crews will prob
ably meet near Brinsmade, in Benson
county.
Benson county gets more new
towns than any other county on the
line, with five out of the total of six
teen new towns. on the 500.
Pierce county gets three new towns
on the 500. and three on the new line
Of the Great Northern. out Of the
thirty-one new towns on the latter
road.
The completion of the new lines of
the 500 and the Great Northern adds
forty-seven new railroad stations and
new towns to the central part OF
North Dakota. With IN average OF
about three new banks to every two
new towns. 1t may be estimated that
nearly seventy new banks will be
added to the list of state banks. with
other lines of business in proportion.
Pierce and Benson counties are
about to harvest the biggest crops IN
their history, the acreage being the
largest and the quality being the best.
The new railroads will have plenty
of business right from the start. TAX

They mark an epoch in the develop

There is considerable speculation
here as to the probable route of the
new Minneapolis, st. Louis & Ca
madam line from Watertown. S. D.. to
Canada, but it is believed that 1t will
touch either or both Pierce and Ben
son counties. A north and south line
in the central part of the state is
much needed.

1W|NE SHORTAGE
NOT VERY SERIOUS
Manager of international
Harvester Co. of Fargo
Says it will be Plentiful.

Fargo, N. D., July 31.-"We will be
nble to take care of all u contracts
in Irvine and that, too, without hav-
ing to increase the price" said Mana
ger Mulick of the International Har-
vester Co.
Mr.. Mulick stated that although the
would be able to take care
of the twin business. it might re-
quire the making of several trips on
the part Of the customers before the
harvest was concluded, but he was
glad to be able to state hat they
would he able to take care of all m
til the close of the harvest and at no
increase in prices.
Somewhat OF Il Scare.
There has been somewhat of a
scare in regard to what appears to be
n shortage in binder Irvine and the
statement was freely made on tho
streets that the shortage is serious.
Mr. Mulick Was of the opinion that
it would be three weeks before the
greater part of the late grains was
ready to cut and all the seeming
shortage would have disappeared long
before that. He said that one of the
great reasons for the apparent short
age was the fact that the farmers did
not place their orders before the har-
vest was on in order that the various
dealers could send in orders TO the
manufacturers for the supply. He had
no hesitancy in saying that SO far AS
his company was concerned il would
he ready to supply every demand but
that ii vas possible that some of the
customers would have to make two
or more trips.
MIR. Blake Talks.
Mr.. Flake of the Fargo Implement
Co, stated hat undoubtedly there
was "A shortage and that his company
could Tot begin tn fill the order Just
now. but that there were cars on the
road and he believed that his firm
would have a supply in by next
Monday. He SAID that as soon rs the
Threatened shortage appeared the
railroads had been notified and they
had stated that some of the cars were
tied up and delaye at the terminals,
but that orders had been SEM out TO
give all the Irvine cars the right of
way owe all other kinds of freight.
MIR. Blake is of the opinion that there
will be plenty of wine here in a few
days, that there is no good roa-
son for a scare. He. too. stated that
one of the reasons for the shortage
at present was because the farmers
did not place their orders for Irvine
ahead of the season. so that it could
he ordered in plenty of time.
