HERE'S ONE WHO is with U.s.

The following communication has
been received by the Independent,
anent the Reporters street-corner con-
troversy:
Editor Independent:
Your criticism in last weeks issue
of the manner in which the Reporter
has been slandering the fair name of
our city by greatly exaggerated state
ments concerning the band of moral
desperadoes who infest our street cor
ners, was read by the writer with a
great deal of interest, and we wish to
add word of commentator.
For years Minot "enjoyed" the rep
utation Of being real bad, wild-west
town, a reputation which was brought
about by just such rantings as the
Reporter has been indulging in-but
usually by idle gossipers, who pictur-
ed conditions a great many times as
bad as they really were just as the
Reporter is doing in it's present

We believe in reform-that is, real
reform for the Reporter to con-
tinually and everlastingly "harp" on
conditions that really do not exist
or If they do, only in very, very
small degree rs bad as they have
been pictured well, it doesn't look
like reform to us-not little bit.

We remember when we lived in Hi
nois that there was seldom a year
when all crops were good. This did
MT seem to make any particular diff
ference to the farmers, they rather
expected it, and fortified themselves
against it by growing great variety
Of the various crops. Corn was gen.
orally good crop and we notice that
right now the North Dakota corn
looks splendid. Sometimes the oats
crop failed and the farmers learned
not to depend much on wheat, altho
occasionally this crop yielded enor-
mously. Often the clover and timothy
crops were rather short, but the farm
ers always managed to scrape up
enough feed. An Illinois farmer with
out plenty of stock could not possibly
stay in the game very long and this
is what has increased the value of
their land to 5000 or more an acre.
The North Dakota farmers will al
ways be up against conditions very
similar to those farther east. They
will have to learn not to look for a
big crop of the small grains every
year. We note that down in some
parts of Missouri the oats crop was
ruined by drouth and the farmers cut
it for hay. Southern Illinois and
southern Indiana were about in the
same fix. This section of North Da-
kota is going to harvest a fair aver
age crop, but in places the wheat will
not amount to more than half crop
We notice that we have seldom had q
better prospect for oats and barley
corn, buckwheat, etc. There will be
many excellent fields of wheat, but on
account of local showers, this crop APP

The wheat on spring plowed land

crop bids fair to be a good one and
there will be an abundance of feed.
Fortunately the farmers of this
vicinity have made great strides in the
stock business during the past three
years. Many believe that from f.
nancial standpoint, the crops Of 1913
will beat those of 1912.

years and it is hard for US to believe

One of our farmer readers says he
resents the attack that the Reporter
has made on the country people who
come to Minot to trade. Naturally
they meet their friends on the street
and stop to converse with them. They
do not like to be classed as loafers
and pointed out with the finger of
scorn. Minot welcomes the farmers
despite the attack that the Reporter
has made on them. Our streets are
made for the public to use and fortu-
nately the Reporter does not voice the
sentiments of the people Of Minot
when it goes after the farmers who
visit our city.

keted last year 10000 calves, which
