If Bottineau is to retain it's
rank as one of the leading
counties in the state agricul-
turally, attention must be given
to the culture of corn and alta
liza. Twenty-Five counties of
the state are striving for first
place in production through
better farming methods and as
sisted by Better Farming men
and it is up to the people of
Bottineau county to cooperate
with their Better Farming
agent and keep their county
where in belongs--in the first
place agriculturally.

The banks borrow emergen-

months they pay a tax rate at
the rate of three per cent a year

TRADE

There is much that merits
American attention in the
statement of the Russian prem
Ter few days ago with refer
cncc to the trade possibilities
in his own country which will
be opened up as a result of the
war. He calls attention to the
enormous extent and undcvcl-
oped condition of Russia, to
the tremendous demand that
there will be there for
many years for goods from
foreign lands, and to the fact
that there will be a strong de-
sire on the part of the Russians
to transfer a great share of the
trade which has been going to
Germany to England and the
United States.
The antagonisms and anti
pathies of war are bound to be
reflected for Il time, at least, in
the commercial relations of all
the countries involved. This
feeling will wear off after a
time and it is to be hoped that
peace will be brought about on
such Il basis that fear of fur
thcr war will be renewed
from the thoughts of all ma
tons. But during the period
of REIMBURSEMENT many perman-
cnt trade changes will be made
and undoubtedly. if the bust
ness people of the United
States are as alert and re-
sourccful as we usually sup
pose them to be, they will not
fail to take advantage of the
opportunities thus presented
for the furthcrance, in a proper
and Legitimate way, of the
commercial Influence of this
country. Russia is not a manu-
featuring nation. She has been
a large purchaser of manufac-
tured goods from all the for
.eign producers of such goods,
England, Germany and France
have supplied her with I'M
mcnsc quantities, and her
trade with the United States,
especially in agricultural inn
plements, has been large. She
has a great territory, rich in
agricultural possibilities, and
she has mineral and other re-
sources, even the extent of
which is at present unknown.
The development of these
fields will require implements,
machinery and apparatus of
every conceivable kind. Our
producers of such goods have
at least an even chance with
the others to meet this de-
mand.-Grand Forks Herald.
