North Dakota has approximately
100000 more acres of corn this year
than it had a year ago, estimates Of
that increase being made by Thomas
Cooper. director Of the Better Farm
ing association. who is spending the
day in Grand Forks. He expects that
much OF the corn will mature salts
factorily.
1.-THE corn conditions in the state
are very satisfactory said Mr.. Coop
er. Last year we waged a campaign
among the farmers asking them to
save their own seed corn, and the re-
suits have proven so entirely satisfac-
tory that we intend to renew hat
campaign this season.
I'm a week Or ten days our cam
paign will be placed under way. and
I am confident that the result will be
to bring about an ever greater in
crease in the acreage next year.
Looks Like Ripe Time.
ut would seem that this is the ripe
time for the farmers Of North Dakota
to engage in stock raising: not on a
large scale, but on a conservative ba-
sis. With several of the corn states
in a bad way, cattle are sure to be
sold for lower prices. and they can
be purchased and brought here. North
Dakota farmers who have raised corn
will have a good quantity Of feed.

Within the past week I have made
