Glen Ullin, N. D., Aug. 13.-Editor
Bismarck Tribune: In your issue OF
the 10th, there is an article from
Valley City describing the fine farm
owned and operated by Mr.. J. A. Nc
! Hattie, near Buffalo. After driving
through fine fields Of o r and flax
the visitors saw a big Avery pulling
three binders and doing fine work.
etc.
We have farmers around Glen ul-
lin that can go Mr.. McHattie one oct
ter. We can take you out to the
Lidstrom farm, six miles south Of
Glen Ullin, and show a Big Four pull
ing four binders with perfect ease.
On this model farm you will find as
nice a band of 1900 sheep as there Is
in the state. There Is also q tract OF
10 acres farmed under the expert
ment system of the Agricultural COL
lege. Last fall one acre of this ex.
pertinent farm yielded 1875 bushels OF
oats. There is also a l0-foot vein Of
the best Ignite coal in the state on
this farm.
Mr.. Frank Mott has 4 IL acres Of
alfalfa that yielded IA 1-2 loads at the
! first cutting and Z IL loads at the
second cutting. BE-,
We can also boast Of having the
best up to date, equipped creamery
in the state of North Dakota. The
building is made Of cement blocks
and is equipped with the most mod
ern and up to- date machinery that
money could buy. The building and
machinery cost $4,000. During the
month of July 10000 pounds Of but
ter was made and 2,190 gallons Of
delicious ice cream was manufactur.
ed, and last, but not least, mor than
81, 400 was paid QUIT to the patrons OF
the creamery.
Mr.. John Schultz, just north Of our
city is erecting a barn, ZIG feet long
and 30 feet wide. The barn will be
equipped with the latest inventions
tor housing his pure-bred herd Of GU
head of as fine a strain of the Hol.
stein breed as is to be found in the
state. His monthly creamery check
is ample proof of this statement.
These are but a few cases | have
mentioned. Is there any wonder that
we have one of the best cities in the
western part of North Dakota? Even
the Northern Pacific has recognized
this fact, for they are, voluntarily,
stopping No. 3 for passengers, which
Is not done at any town between Man
dan and Dickinson. -
No city or town, however, can
achieve or rise to the highest stand
ard without the best Of educational
facilities. In this respect Glen Ullin
also ranks with the highest in the
state. The state high school board
reports that among the high schools
Of the first class IS per cent of the
students passed their examinations;
Of the second class Is, and of the
third class II per cent, or an average
for all the high schools Of the state
of GO per cent, while Glen Ullin has
an average of 77.6 per cent, or an ad.
vance of almost ~ per cent above
the normal. &
