Ed. Mulder, we'll known around
jamestown where he landed in 'S2,
is making a noticeable winning in
diversified farming and dairying. Mr..
Mulder has a good foundation herd
of twenty-three head and his min
milk COWS bring a nea SO check every

Huntsville Banner One of the fin
est displays Of grain that has ever
been seen in Hurdsffeld is now on ex-
hibitiOn at the Farmers & Merchants
bank. 1t consists of a cabinet in
which are neatly arranged sixteen
different varieties of grains and grass
es. This was prepared by Elmer Dean,
one of the local farmers. To this dis
play of small grain, J. D. Kerr has
added a number Of fine large ears of
field corn that are well filled and ma
tured.
Conspicuous among the bonanza
farmers of northern Stutsn1an coun-
ty is Jasper Dick, who lives northeast
of Courtenay. A great rambling farm
house, roomy stables, machine sheds
and a 10000 bushel elevator give the
home farm an air of stable prosperity.
Mr.. Dick farms 5000 acres. A Hud-
son touring car furnishes a quick
method of travel, while a Twin 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
Of their capacity, n in many cases
the farmers are being compelled to
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.
Cavalier Chronicle Tuesday of this
week Isaac Moritz sold his home farm
two and one-half miles southeast of
the city to Thomas Haukes of Iowa.
The farm comprises a half section and
the price paid by the purchaser was
SIS, 000, or about $3.50 per acre. This
is the highest price yet paid for farm
ing lane near Cavalier that we have
heard about, but it Is all first-class
land. Mr.. Moritz will remain upon the
farm until March I next when he. will
remove to Buffalo Lake, Mimi, where
he recently purchased a farm of 24O
acres. Here he intends to engage
more directly in diversified farming.
Jamestown Alert: It is expected

With wheat in the eighties and corn In
the seventies there is a hesitation
about buying corn for feed. and other
substitutes are considered. The loss
of 500, 000, 900 bushels of corn from
the normal yield will have to be re-
placed with other feed grain. but the
loss is SO great that all other feed
grains combined will not fill the hole
caused by the failure Of the corn crop
The question hen arises, what will
there be to take the place? The legi-
innate situation demands high prices
for all feed stuffs raised In North Da-
kota this year., where the effects OF
drouth were not seen.
