es, This was prepared by Elmer
Dean, II Of the local farmers. To
this display OF small grain, J. D. Kerr
has added a number of fine large cars |
Of field corn that are well filled and |
matured.
Conspicuous among the bonanza |
farmers of northern Stutsman coun.
ty is Jasper Dick, who ives northeast
of Courtenay. A great rambling farm
house, roomy stables, machine sheds
and a 10000 bushel elevator give the
no emfarm an air OF stable prosperity. |
Mr.. Dick farms 5000 acres. A Hud- |
con touring a furnishes a quick
method Of travel, while alvin City !
gas tractor handles a large part of
the field work.
Grain shippers of St. Thomas, and |
the surrounding territory are suffer
Ing from a freight car famine. The !
four elevators which are operating in
st. Thomas are filled to the uttermost |

leave their wheat on the ground. AS
a result of this, many who regard St.
Thomas as their natural shipping |
point are using other towns. Such
relief as has been afforded by the
railroad company has, it is said, been
merely temporary, and conditions are
becoming steadily worse.
