The farmers will not have as much
ready money from their crops this
year as usual, because large per-
centage of their crop consists Of the
various feeds, and the thresh bill will
have to be paid. Of course the feed
represents a good deal of money when
fed to stock. Most every farmer has
a nice lot of hogs, cattle, horses, etc.,
and in the end will be money ahead by
growing the various feed crops.
The writer drove over to Glenburn
today and we will concur with what
others have told US, in that the crops
around Bro. Gilbertsen's splendid town
are shade better than any we have
! seen in this section of North Dakota
At that even, the early crops need
rain, otherwise the yield will be cut
down some. There are some very
beautiful farm homes between Minot
and Glenburn. The home of F. W.
Mann is one Of the very prettiest we
saw, the surroundings being as neat
as wax. Chas. Matson, r. c. Blume
H. G. Detlaff, Alfred Haldi and scores
of others have made old North Prairie
blossom like rose.
