Of one of the richest agricultural Ia
calities in the state of North Dakota

A number of farmers around Cour

being a movement that will sooner
or later spread to all parts Of the
state, and the farm dairy will in q
short time be counted one of the
largest assets that the prosperous
farmer will contrive to improve, up.

being deeply considered and plans
laid for larger crops of the yellow

tor in marketing the prime beef and

Of Courtenay in the center of a pros
porous and modern farming district.

large, if not a larger number of bush
els of grain as any point in the North
west. ~
