Better Farming Expert Aft.
er Trip Over the State
Talks Encouragingly.

Conditions could scarcely be bet
ter so far as soil is concerned" said
Secretary Thomas Cooper Of the
North Dakota Better Farming ASSOC
citation. in Fargo yesterday on his re-
turn home from an inspection trip
through the central and northwest
ern parts of the state. Moisture
over the state and the rains Sunday
and Monday were heavy in most sec
lions. They delay farm work to some
extent but not seriously.
I'm the northwestern part of the
state the wheat acreage has been
reduced probably about twenty-five
per cent. but the crop acreage will be
normal and the deficiency in the
wheat acreage is made up in increas-
ed oats. barley. flax, corn and potato
acreage.
II find in the central part Of the
state" he continued. that the corn
is practically all planted and that
there is a great deal of enthusiasm
and other counties Of that part of
the state. the potato acreage will be
increased fifteen OF. twenty times that
Of last year. In some localities there
is a disposition to plunge too much
on potatoes on the part Of those who
are no familiar with the crop. We
would prefer to see slightly more con-
servative efforts till new growers
learn how to properly handle these
crops.
I'm every section in which I have
been. the farmers. bankers and bust
ness men tell me that more attention
has been paid this year to the prep
aration of soils and putting in crops
than ever before. Many farmers who
formerly stubbled their grain in are
abandoning the practice and. condi-
lions are certainly encouraging for
the farmers of North Dakota"
Secretary Cooper left Fargo last
evening for Minneapolis. where he
will address the Minneapolis Traffic
association at a banquet today at the
Nicollet hotel.

AUTO DEALERS ARE
DOING A NICE
BUSINESS
Majority Of Motor Car Ag-
ents Will Exceed the
Previous Records.

Substantiating the optimistic pre-
dictions Of the automobile dealers of
Grand Forks that the season of 1912
would establish a new high record, the
volume Of business transacted so far
this year has shattered the marks of
all previous years. itis said. Whether
the heavy sales so early in the season
indicate an unprecedented movement
in cars when the real summer weather
sets in or whether the present volume
is an average amount of business re-
mains to be seen, but the dealers are
most sanguine over the prospects for a
heavier trade.
planted himself mfwyqjppjpp mfwyp
Since the first automobile dealer
planted himself in Grand Forks no
season has opened SO auspiciously as
the 1912 season. The buying began
much earlier than ever before and the
volume has kept a steady level with
frequent big gains. The buying move
ment has been felt by dealers in all
makes of cars from touring cars down
to the runabout. indicating a general
wave Of prosperity.
1t is doubtful if there is a single
automobile dealer in Grand Forks who
has not already equaled the total BUSH
ness for last year. although the 1912
buying period hardly has opened.
Seventy emphasize their assertions
that the movement indicates a big
year. the dealers point to their sales
records which show that they have
been %disposing Of cars during the
rainy days as we'll as the clear days.
In the wonderful growth of the mo-
tor a trade. Grand Forks has forged
ahead until it now leads almost every
city of the size in the country and
many large places in point of sales.
