right FARMING
BRINGS PROFIT
Young Man Near Bismarck PROV
ing Possibilities in North
Dakota Land.

-.a I W. - n.. .aIk..N
One of many incidents happening
every day in North Dakota but which
pass unobserved except by all who
come directly In contact with them
came to light a couple of weeks ago.
And since 1t is SO much to the point
as to whether or not this state af-
fords to the man who must arm his
bread by the sweat OF his brow an
opportunity to do SO, andsto live with
a hope of laying up a competency for
the years to come, it is published
with the trust that it may guide and
inspire those who r wavering in
doubt. 4
The story Is true in every respect
and was told by the young man him
self, who is nov one Of the most con-
tented farmers in 1urleigh county,
and also one Of the most enthusiastic
boosters for the state. If any one
doubts these statements, he will be
furnished with the name. This young
man came from Iowa several years
ago, where the price Of land Is pro-
hibitory to the man of limited means.
He settled in Burleigh county and
went into grain raising but met with
the fate of so many who pin their
faith to this n branch of farming;
defeat and encouragement came to
him, and, sick Of the whole business,
he conjured up a picture Of the old
Iowa home, and back he went. It was
not long till the illusion was dispelled
and he saw he had made a grave mis-
take, and by this time he had had a
new vision Of the possibilities in
North Dakota. He is here now, not
over twenty miles from Bismarck,
and with a deep-soil pillow in the field,
and a diversified farming scheme III
mind, forty-five acres OF corn fast
ripening in the sun, seventy hogs and
1 dozen mich cows in the pasture, he
is forging to the front and proving .
more valuable advertisement to the
state than tons of literature. Last
wear his corn went fifty bushels TO
the acre and the price was sixty cents
per bushel, which was thirty dollars
per acre. This beats wheat with its
uncertainty of maturing. its yield as
a rule about ten to fifteen bushels
per acre and prevailing price less
than one dollar per bushel.
The trend inSNorth Dakota is to-
ward diversified farming and the
movement is going forward with such
rapid strides that land values are
sure to rise. It will not be many
years till forty dollars per acre will
be, more common talk over the state
than fifteen dollars today.
Let those who wish say what they
will, do what they will, they can new
er overcome theafact that, in health
fulness, and in opportunity to make
money, this state is unsurpassed
