A ROCKY ROAD
Keeps Many From. Attending thu
Rocky Ford Fair

The following from last weeks Ordway
New Era explains the reason that there
is not larger attendance this week of
our neighbors north of the river:
"A New Era reporter overheard one OF
our citizens remark the other day that the
best advertisement the Arkansas Valley
Fair Association could issue for the Rocky
Ford Fair this year would be to announce
that the wagon roads into that city are
just ordinarily fair.
He further said that there has not
been single day in the past two months
when the road from Ordway to the Ford
was deoently passable-always from one
to three large mud holes to struggle
md many places so rough that passen-
gers in autos enjoyed the roller coaster
sensation en- route and the wear and tear
on cars was equal to a thousand-mlle
trip on good roads.
."Whie other communities have been
drying up for want of water, this road
has been constantly inundated and enough
water wasted to bring JOY to whole dry
land community. Those contemplating
attending the far next week should allow
themselves plenty OF tlIne 10 make lne
trip, no matter which route they attempt
to take-extra time for detouring many
miles to find road passable, or for get
ting pulled out of some of the many mud
holes. The New Era auto made three
attempts. over different routes, recently.

some DAY bring suit against Otero county
for damages only to his feelings
sustained from coming in contact with
these boggy places that are a disgrace to
any civilized country. and lew Thousand

who must travel this road may induce the
commissioners of Otero county to spend

the best since Native Belle trotted in
2:07% at Lexington, KY, in October,
1909 was made in the first heat of the
junior division of the horse review
futurity.
Braden Direct, winner of the free
for-all pace, put the years race record
at 2:01k in the third heat Of the

new record, the fastest ever held by a
5-year-old stallion. He lost the first
heat by a break. -~e
Peter Volo in his remarkable race
had Lady Wanetka for his opponent.
The time by quarters in the first mile
was: 80; 1904; 1875; 2:O6A. Peter

Being FORMED
CORN, KING OF AMERICA, PRE-.
PAIRING TO LORD IT OVER
NORTH DAKoTA-SoME peril
NENT FACTS CONCERNING
CORN AND WHEAT. /.

Jamestown Capital: Just at this
time when corn is beginning to think
of assuming kingly apparel in North
Dakota it might be well to knowl-
edge the fact that corn is the inn
perial agricultural plant in the ma
ton. Our spreading wheat fields that
stretch for miles in every direction,
that undulate and wave like a vast
sea, and which many may believe Is
the greatest cereal in all the world,
are fine, grand, magnificent. But We
will have to disillusion ourselves of
the idea that wheat is king.
Corn is king in America.
Last year the continent produc-
ed 800, 100000 bushels Of wheat but
5000, 00O, 900 bushels Of corn.
There is no other single crop ap-
preaching corn either in importance
or value to American agriculture.
The history of the states has been
that wheat was the easy crop, the
velopment Of the territory, the in
crease in the price of land, there
came a demand for a more intensive
form OF agriculture and then 1t was
that corn stepped to the front. click
ed it's heels together, saluted. and
took command Of the situation. That
was the history Of Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. 1T Is the
situation now in process of change
here in North Dakota. The heydey
Of wheat is ait hand the zenith OF
the crop in the state has been reach
ed. Corn will increase but wheat
production will not. The exclusive
production of wheat has always ulti-
nlately proved disasterous.
The crop statistics of the United
States department of agriculture
show that the center of the wheat
| producing area has made great
changes of location, due largely to
the fact that this crop was grown
exclusively in certain regions until
profitable production ceased. Mixed
farming has always succeeded the one
crop system, and cornsis9Hthe croI

that can replace corn in the systems

erican farms.

change to mixed farming-With such
examples before the farmers of the
northwest, it should not be necessary
to suffer the effects of such a sys-
tenn to the extent that older sections
have. 1t is not easy to change a
system of farming, but it can be &C
complished with less difficulty if done
gradually. The change is gradually
taking place, but too slowly. =
Iowa in 1910 had thirty-two acres
of corn to each farm, South Dakota
had thirty acres. of corn to each farm
and North Dakota had only four acres
of corn to each farm. ."
Ponder on that. Four acres Of corn
to each farm. In Iowa one-fourth or
the farm area is devoted to corn, in
South. Dakota one-seventh, In North
Dakota one-seventieth.
In Iowa there is one need OF, live
stock to every two acres of land, in
South Dakota one to each fourteen
acres and in North Dakota there is
one head to every twenty-five acres.
