Fairmount, Sept. 30.-That North
Dakota is rapidly slipping into the
fruit belt is easily demonstrated at
the Joseph Gajer farm. a mile and a
half from this place. Nine years ago
Mr. Gajer set out few apple trees.
Since then he has added to his or.
chard until now he has GAO apple
trees on five acres. This year they
are laden with fruit and he has dis.
posed of large quantities. There
are eleven different varieties of ap-
pies and half-dozen of crab.apples.
In addition to the apples he has a
large quantity of Strawberries, rasp-
berries, currants. gooseberries and
other fruits. An Illinois orchardist
recently made tip to see the ap.
pies and arranged to secure seed.
lings, as he claimed the fruit was
superior to that grown in Illinois.

S. Elmer has placed ninety gallons
of perch and trout fish In the Can

Mott. This makes the second ship
cnent this year Mott has secured
from the state and u. S. government
hatcheries. The first shipment
came from the U. S. hatcheries at
st. Jorn lake. The fish were all in
good condition when they arrived.
Elmer was forced to be up three days
and two nights In order to get the
shipment through. To keep the fish

on them all the time until they are
again placed In running water. Most

Hettinger county.
Marnarth. Sept. 29.-One of the
most terrible tragedies ever occur
ring in this vicinity occurred at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Vernan Os-
trander when their two youngest
children, little girls, aged two and
four years, were both drowned In a
water barrel.
The father was plowing In the
. fields on his farm and the mother
had gone to dig potatoes for the eve
ming meal with no more thoughts OF
a tragedy than on any other day
when she did the same thing. Upon
her return she looked everywhere
for the little ones who had disap-
peared during her absence, and. be-
ing unable to find them In the house
or granary, she went to the water
barrel, but little expecting to find
them there, as they had always been
cautioned not to go there and had
never done so previous to this time.
The motiier was mortified to find
both little bodies in the barrel of

: Emmons county's annual fair for
the year 1913 is over. For three
days-,Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of last week-Linton was host
to the farmers and dairymen Of this
county. and. though the fair was
only on a small scale. who can say
what good results will not come
about through its agency? Speakers
had been provided for each after
noon who we're capable Of giving in
struction and advice. Their words
were listered to with close interest,
and those who attended showed an
inclination to get down to scientific
farming, the haphazard style having
lost all of it's attractiveness for
them.
Thursday the fair opened, the
weather in the forenoon being
rather unfavorable. Several days
of rainy weather had preceded the
Fair days and Thursday was cold
and damp. In the afternoon Gov.
l.. B. Hanna addressed our visitors
in the opera-house. The place was
packed. and for more than an hour
every word the chief executive of
our state uttered was followed by
the audience with the deepest inter.
est. The address dealt with mat
ters pertaining to farm life. ren,in-
iscences and experiences of pioneer
days being interspersed with words
of instruction and advice. Gov.
Hanna related a few incidents of his

fair. and had with him a Model

have been featuring for more than
a year. Mr.. Call states that his
firm is placing a great many of

the assurance that siIos must come

his company to make speciality uf

of visitors. The writer has heard
many state that the best department
of the fair was the ladies' exhibits.

The father. hearing the mothers
cries of grief, came from the fields

her task OF digging the potatoes for
supper the little ones had pulled an
old sand-sled up to the barrel and
placed a box on top OF the sled, on
which they had evidently been
standing and gazing into the water.
1t is quite probable that the little

attempted to rescue her. with the re-
suit that she also fell in and both

early life. when he came to North
Dakota. more than thirty years ago,
to seek his. fortune. Like all other
pioneers, he roughed it, and like all
other pioneers his very existence de-
pended almost on his own individual
endeavors. Relative to farming and
dairying questions, he emphasized
the fact that North Dakotans must
get away from the wheat craze, az
they are beginning to do. Corn
was mentioned as one of our surest
crops. The raising of cattle and
horses and dairying was declared by
the governor to be absolutely essen
tial to the welfare Of North Dako-
tans. Mixed farming was strongly
urged, as only in such manner can
the soil be kept fertiIized. as it must
be if the day is not to come when
the soil will be "played out" and
worthless for raising grain. The
dairying and the silo. according to
the governor. are fast coming to the
front. The farmer that has cream
to sell the year around will find
himself in comfortable circum-
stances. while the inveterate wheat
raiser will eventually have to apply
to the cream producer for work.
Mr.. Hanna is a firm believer in
North Dakota and North Dakotans.
He looks to see the central and
western parts Of the state eventual
ly the rich section of our common
wealth. for there Is where the coal
and clay are to be found.
At the close of Gov. Hanna's ad-
dress he was rendered rising vote
of thanks by one of the largest
crowds that has ever been in the
opera house.
Friday afternoon was taken up by
two lectures and ball game. Prof.
Ewin, of the agricultural college at
Fargo. gave talk on better farm
ing. and spent some thirty minutes
in answering questions asked by
persons in the audience. Mr..
Greenwood, Of Valley City, an en-
ploye in the dairy commissioner
office. followed Prof. Ewin, and
talked instructively on the subject
of silos and silo-buildlng. The dairy
department will send an expert to
any address in the state to superin-
tend the construction of a siIo, when
so requested. The immense value
to the prosperity of the state of silo-
building is well known to them. and
their efforts are being bent toward
fostering silo.construction through
out the state.
Following the lectures. base
ball game was played at the ball
park between teams representing
kintyre and Strasburg. Kintvre
won the CONTEST 10 S. 1t was a
fair game. though the fact that
neither team had been doing much
playing for weeks past made them a
little slow.
Saturday afternoon Frank Suther-
land. in charge Of the sub-station at
Eureka. S. d.. talked on agricultur-
al matters. and detailed minutely
the manner in which farmers should
select their seed. especially in the
raising of corn. Corn, according to
Mr.. Sutherland. is the most logical
farm product for the Dakotas. and
he showed how conditions here are
practically identical with those in

HE IS A FRIEND TO B1LBO

Lakeland Fla, Dec. 8, 1918.
Lakeland Evening telegram:
noticed in the Telegram on the 5til
OF this month an article about the
lieutenant governor of Mississippi |
would like to have a little space to
reply to statement made therein.
will say that ! am a Mississippian
and was there during the campaign
when Lieutenant Governor Bilbo was
elected and so far as the ignorant
class of people electing him, that is
false, and the man that says that he
was elected by the uneducated class
of people shows his ignorance when
he makes such statements as that in
public or private.
Bilbo is a smart man, and Is per
cent of the voters of Mississippi vot-
ed for him. With two opponents he
got 10000 votes and his opponents
$4,000. So you can see that if the
uneducated people elected him there
isn't but few educated people in
the State, and | believe that there
are as many educated men in Missis-
sippi as any other State in the Union.
There are plenty of farmers in the
State that are as smart as those that
have been to college. when it comes
to good judgment about voting, they
know who to vote for. Politics in
Mississippi when the negro voted was
controlled by the educated people,
but now the negro is not in the race,
and we should be very thankful that
they are out of politics.
So far as Bilbo going to the peni-
tertiary, | think he is able to take
care of himself and, if he isn't, he
certainly has plenty of friends that
are willing to assist him any time he
needs them.
They can say what they please
about Lieutenant Governor Bilbo
but please don't make such remarks
about the good people of the State
or any other State.
With best wishes to you, l am
citizen of Lakeland and expect to
make Lakeland my home, and am a
subscriber of the Telegram.

THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT

That dispatch telling Of Florida or.
anges going begging on the Kansas
City market at ninety cents a crate
ought to teach a lesson worth heed
ing. The market was glutted by
rushing twenty-five carloads of the
fruit to that city in one day and
with supply SO enormously in excess
of demand there could be but one re-
suit.
Such disastrous mistakes can only
be avoided in one way and that by
adequate system and cooperation
where the gruit is grown. Independ-
ent action by the growers, the right
to do as they please with their own,
will not be denied in the abstract,
but it is against the economic laws
of these times and won't work as a
paying proposition. The Tampa
Times has something to say directly
in point on this subject and it is
good sense worth needing. The
Times says:
The Florida Citrus Exchange
With its facilities for receiving daily
information of the state of the mar
lets in all Of the principal cities,
md with it's intimate knowledge of
he capacity of each market, would
lever have rushed into any market a
,reater quantity of fruit than that
market could dispose of; and even if
larger quantity than certain mar
let could profitably take care of had
een by any chance sent there, upon
Information that the market was
lutted proper quantity would at
nee be diverted to some other not
