attention to the fact that there has
been no crop failure in this district
Most of this falls during the growing
period and is sufficient to grow crops
to such an extent as to establish u
of marketing 1000, 900 bushels
of grain annually.
Topography and Soil.
The lay of the land around Kensal
as a rule is level with here and there
just enough slope for eas drainage.
The soil is a rich black loan with a
clay subsoil, having a depth of from
twelve to eighteen inches. There is
no sand or gravel.
Climate and Water.
The climate of North Dakota is ex-
hilerating, the air being very dry. With
the exception of two or three cold
snaps, h winters r pleasant. The
nights are always cool in summer, even
after the hottest days. Our summer
days OF many hours48of sunshine.-are
accompanied by a gentle breeze which
is very beneficial to man, beast and
crop. ..a.
Kensal and the surrounding terri
tory is fortunate in having good wa
ter which can be had by going to a
depth of from thirty to forty feet.
Due to this fact, the 500 Railroad Co.
has one of it's most important wa
ter supply stations located here. No
train passes this station without TAX
ing a full supply of water not only for
it's locomotive but for it's dining
car service as well at times.
Dairying.
While the farmers nave only recent
ly begun to devote their attention to
d~airying, it will be seen from the Of
fetal report of the 500 Railroad CO.'S
station at Kensal hat 1920 gallons Of
cream was shipped during the sea-
son of 1912. These records also show
that there were nineteen carloads of
cattle shipped from hat station, also
several carloads of poultry and a large
amount of butter and eggs.
The Town of kensal.
Kensal is a beautiful village, having
a population of 500: has a great many
modern conveniences, a water system
used for fire protection, a model tele-
phone system which p~enetarates every
part of the surrounding country. 1t
has two r, +. -. routes, AS architec-
tural triumphs 1t has an eight room

and say that caution should be- used
Wheat 1913, 900 bushels; flour 1000
sixty bushels, oats eighty to 100 bush
els. One farmer claims he got 107
bushels to the acre, rye as
high as twenty-five and thirty
bushels: corn forty to forty-five bush
eds. The corn crop was about ten
bushels below the average, due to the
cold wet season. Some of the best
farmers have no difficulty in produc-
ing from fifty-tive to sixty-five bush
eds of corn to the acre an average year.
Some Corn.
In 1901 the corr crop for the state
aggregated 1,519,534 bushels and in
1909 the yield was $3.50, 900 bushels.
This increase indicates that North Da-
kota is located in the corr belt and
will soon be recognized as one of the
best corn producing states.
Rainfall.
SO that the reader will not confuse
this locality with other districts where
the rainfall is uncertain, we call your

~ ENSAL, N. D, is situated On the
~ main line of the 500 railroad,
only nine hours journey from
the twin cities, just outside Of the
famous Red river valley. and only
eighty-seven miles from the Mime
sofa state line! This district joins
Barnes county and Griggs county, con-
sidered to be two Of he best grain
producing counties in the state.
Kensal, with it's small territory,
markets 1,0O0,O 900 bushels of grain a
year.
We want more farmers where these
millions grow-And we are going to
get them. Why shouldn't we?
We have the best soil; we have a
wealth producing crOp every year: we
have good climate, water; all modern
conveniences; best of markets, and
best of all, cheapest land in the great
northwest, considering its high quail
ity. Plenty Of room now, but 1t will
not last long.
We want every and owner or rent
er who reads this to locate near Ken
sal. We will not get them all, but
those we do get will have good reason
to be glad of it.
What We Have to Offer.
Kensal offers splendid opportunities
to. the nan of energy and moderate
means. The price of the land, quality
of soil and location considered, is
lower than it is in any other part OF
the stats. Similar land in the adjoin-
ing counties across the boundary line
in Barnes and Griggs counties, is sell
ing at from SIS to $25 an acre more
h it is around Kensal, and is cheaI
at that price.
The booklet from which this write
up was taken is the first effort tina
has ever been made of any kind tt
attract home-seekers to the vicinity o.
Kensal. In other words kensal ha:
never had a land boom, which &C
counts for the low price at which goo
land is available.
The officers of the Kensal In1plemen
Co., who are responsible for this at
tempt to secure new settlers, are pic
neers in this country, and are well AM
favorably known throughout the stat
of North Dakota. What is said b,
then in favor of this location may b
conservative rather than. otherwise

SURGEONS BUILD NEW
 CHIN FOR A CHILD.
Remarkable Operation on Burned
 Girl In Baltimore Hospital.

Baltimore, May 27-After many weeks of treatment the rebuilding of a little girls chin and the restoration of her mouth, after they had been terrib- ly distorted by burns. have been com pIeted at a hospital here.
 The child was brought from another city. Her clothing had taken fire while she was playing about a gas stove and the flesh on her face was scared to such an extent that when the wound was healed only a small hole was left where the mouth had been; the little finger could be inserted, but only with difficulty. Nothing was left of the chin but the bone and a covering of scared flesh.
 A large flap of flesh was cut from the child's abdomen one side being left attached to the body. The other side was grafted on one of her arms. After weeks the flap was cut from the abdo men and joined to the lips and chin. For weeks blood flowed from the arm and lips. Finally the flap was cut from the arm.
 The new flesh was now attached to the chin. A mouth was cut and the chin was rounded out. When the child was discharged from the hospital she could eat, talk and move her jaws as well as any of her companions. Only upon close examination could the new chin be discovered.
