Bantry Advocate: To further estab-
lish the fact that COW pay in North
Dakota, it will be interesting to note
the reward received by our friend. G.
W. Doss, whose farm is situated just
south Of Bantry. -Four months ago,
during the busy farm season, Mr.. Doss
began to keep an account of the money
! he received from the produce Of eight
! ordinary mich cows whose only feed
was pasture grass, and at the end of
the fourth month the account stood
like this:
Eight calves, at SIS 1920
Received for butterfat ........... 210
Homemade butter .............. 10
1olal $54u
When it is considered that these
eight cows are just the ordinary,
common stock, and that because of
the busy season., they were not cared
for and simply grazed in the pasture
one is able to form some idea of the
value Of a common COW and how she
will provide for those who take care
Of her.
Grand Forks Times: There has just
been organized at Carpio a Forty,
Dollar-an-Acre club. Its object is the,
promotion of better farming. and the
development of the of the4
community generally. That object is,
a p~raiseworthy one, and W. have mo-
doubt that the energetic men Of that
territory will do good work and Sc.
cure good results. Without any desire,
to be critical Of the new club or it's
acts, however, We believe that the
name selected is not the best tina
could be chosen, in that it's use is like
~ to create a false impression in
some quarters as to the real purpose
Of the organization. 1t was quite GUS
tomary until recently to use in names
Of similar organizations arbitrary fig
ures relating to the value of land.
The Hundred-D ollar-an-Acre club
was quite common, and other prices
have been named in the titles of SUCH
clubs. The intent Of the originators,
and Of most of the users OF such des-
ignations was undoubtedly to indicate
8 determination SO to improve farm
ing methods, to increase yields and
