Before any action can be taken
by the Department the difference

A member of General Sibley's co!n.
| mand writes the following interest.
! ing letter to the Duluth Herald:
In your issue of June %, | noted
Eahe. following:
r Local interest is taken in the
| proposition TO survey the Sibley trail
| across the state, largely due to the
fact that Sibly's force crossed the
Red river mere and began the trip
from this point. A half a century
ago., after the New Ulm massacre,
the forces of Generals Sully and Sib-
ley were started to drive the Indians
westward. The reds were causing
scme trouble in this section and Sib-
ley started direct from this point.
His trail was from here to jamestown
then north through GViggs, Foster
and Nelson counties and later south
and west to Bismarck. Sibley's
forces fought the Indians three times
on the trip. Curator Fish OF the state
historical society will have the sur
vey in charge. 1t is proposed to
permanently mark and map the
route
The above is correct except that
Cen. Sibley did not see the Red river
until his return. He did not cross
the Red river at Abercrombie or at
any other point; he did not start his
expedition from Abercrombie, and as
there was what is now North Dakota,
except those within the stockade Of
Fort Abercrombie, consequently there
wa no jamestown and no Bismarck.
With these few exceptions the arti-
Gle is correct.
The following are the facts:

ment and pave the way for the re-

COME HERE AND SEE,

II IL not only in the fewer number
Of bushels TO the acre but also in the
quality of the grain itself that the eff.
fects of careless and slipshod farming
are shown. Wheat, oats, barley,
speNz or in fact any kind of grain
grown upon land that has been poor.
ly cultivated is almost sure to show
in its quality the poor treatment il
has received, as, inverscly, grain from
dcep.plowed, carefully narrowed and
properly seeded land will surely show
in plumpness and color of berry the
care that has been bestowed upon it.
Owing to different causes, some
%avoidable and some perhaps not, there
has been much poorly titled land
cropped this season in North Dakota.
The big crop OF last season and con-
scIuently inability to get threshing
done is responsible for much cut and
owe farming this spring and there
may be a considerable area that will
barely reimburse the farmer on this
account, despite the timely rains OF
the past few weeks. Good farming
is always worth while and it is far
better to have forty acres well put in
than double that acreage cropped in
a slovenly and incomplete manner.
If any one doubts this statement
let them make a point of attending
the Third State Industrial Exposition
next October at Bismarck \.here will
be seen in rich array the best samples
from the best farms of the state. In.
quiry from the various exhibitors of
agricultural produce will invariably
elicit the information that the parti'
cnlar grain or vegetable referred to
was grown upon land that had been
carefully plowcd to a sufficient depth
and then narrowed or otherwise cul.
tivated to the best possible condition
Of filth before seeding. Come and be
convinced Of the fact that good farm.
