COWS SELL FOR $15O

w. L. Richards has sold H. J. Fuchs
Of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, ten registered
Hereford cows from his Diamond C
ranch at $3.50 per head and 20 head
of one and two year old heifers at
500 each. There are fourteen or ff-
teen calves in this Hereford herd.
Mr.. Fuchs is a prominent business
man of Cedar Rapids, who owns a
large tract of land near Reeder, this
state. He consulted leading Hereford
breeders Of Iowa and other central
west states and became satisfied that
any stock he could get at the Dia-
mond C ranch would be as good as
the best and for his farm near the
South Dakota line would have the adj
vantage Of being acclimated. He
saw Mr.. Richards stock and became
satisfied that he had picked the right
place for purchasing COWS for the
foundation of the Hereford herd which
he is starting.

the winter climate we learned is
warm southwest winds. 1t is just the
place to combine farming and stock
raising and we could see this is be-
ing done all over the state. We saw
beneath us in many places large al
falfa fields and noted also bronze
grass and timothy, showing that for
age crops with corr are being raised
to finish stock for market. We were
much interested in the silos and
creameries we noted here and there,
which prove that North Dakotans ap-
preciate the value of the dairy COW
as a revenue producer.
"Coal underlies a great part of
the state and we spent considerable
time studying this feature of the
states wealth. It helps the farmer
wonderfully because fuel is a big item
in some states. Here it is plenty
and cheap. It is mined quite extern
sively already and shipped but, in a
condensed form, will become more
valuable. The state will always be
largely agricultural but we think
there is quite a field for manufac-
turing with all this coal, which works
fine in furnishing power.
"They are making brick in North
Dakota; not only the common kind,
but all sorts of fancy, facing brick
and hollow tile. Dickinson is just
built up with it's own beautiful brick.
And, by the way, while Fargo is the
metropolis of the whole state, with
Grand Forks a close second, Bismarck
the capital, and Minot and James
town and Valley City prominent
centers, there isn't a city in the
whole state that can beat Dickinson,
the western Gateway City as Fargo
is the eastern. We flew owe it
again and again and have a pretty
good idea of it as a center for the
western part of the state. But 60
ing back to the clay. There are de-
posts of the finest, whitest potter's
clay and we would like to see the
eyes of some of our French, Aus
trian, Bohemian and German manu-
facturers shine when they see it.
We predict this valuable state asset
we'll be extensively developed within
a few years.
"We were surely surprised at the
prosperity of the people. We didn't
all seek out the same localities for
special work. Our Russian and
German aviators were especially in
terested in the southeastern and
southwestern parts of the state; the
Norwegian and the Swede who were
along, found much to interest them
in the Red River Valley and Daglum
in the west was a favored spot; the
Dutchman reported on the Hollander
settlement in Stark county; the Hun
garian representative on the Lefor
settlement; the Frenchman felt quite
at home among the farmers of
Gaylord and Grand Prairie; and
so on, each seeking out his

pure air filled our lungs and waited
Jul a%eroplanes southwark, we drew
a satisfied long breath and were pre-
pared from the first moment to like
the state. Then, too, it was. a bright,
sunny day when we first flew over
and in all our explorations we have
found these days predominant. We
have heard the people call their state
the Sunshine State and, from ex-
%perience, we know the name is justi-
fled. Sunshine and pure air give
health, the first requisite anywhere,
and North Dakota has both.
"We have found the state more di-
versifed than the states farther east
and this appears to US greatly in it's
favor. The soil is fertile and the
crops raised are really wonderful.
The state is only 26 years old but it's
crops this year put it in the first
rank agriculturally. We found it
raised one-eighth of all the wheat,
one-sixteenth Of all the oats, one-ffth
of all the barley, over one-half of all
the flax; and one-ffteenth of all the
corn in the United States. The lat
ter item should be emphasized be-
cause it is only a few years since
they began to raise corr in North
Dakota. Nine million bushels of po-
tatoes was the states record for
1915 and they are potatoes worth
seeing and tasting-big and round
and smooth. We had many a night
meal in North Dakota while carry
ing on u Investigations and the
fine flavor and texture of the vege-
tables and fruits was remarked by
us all.
"The western part of the state is
more broken than the eastern and
modified greatly by the chinook or

own people. We found them all
getting a good start, good homes,
a good living, money in the banks
and many riding in their own auto
mobiles. You'd be surprised to
know how funny it looks when you
are up above to see the autos. Some
of these fine days since we have
been flying over North Dakota we
have seen so many on the road that
it looked almost like a continuous
train.
Besides physical advantages we
have found out that the schools are
fine, both the common schools and
the higher institutions and a big
land grant is a great help in sup
porting them, making taxes less. It
will be possible for our people who
will come to North Dakota to give
their children a far better education
than if they remained where they
are.
"There is room in North Dakota.
| With a total area of 44,736,477 acres,
42,499,6 53 ares are tillable. The
present cultivated area is 900
acres, leaving 20,499,653 acres yet to
be improved.
"The state has good laws and is
conservative. The people are bent
on making the most of themselves
and Of their state and haven't time
or inclination to run after this or
that new political god or new ism.
Above all, they believe in themselves
and in their state and this optomism
is contagious. You cannot be in
North Dakota long, or over it as we
have been, and not feel that it is the
best state anywhere for a man to
get a good start and to raise up a
family of sturdy, healthy, patriotic,
~God-fearing boys and girls to be the
citizens of the future.

Probably the most comprehensive

the one most far-reaching in it's re-
suits in the future development of
the state, came to the PRESS this
week in a joint report from repre-
sentatives Of various European ma
tons sent out by their respective
governments to ascertain the oppor-
tunities in the United States for set
alers from their war-devastated
countries. While millions of their
countrymen are in the trenches Of
France and Russia, these ENJOYS have
been secretly gathering data for the
time when war shall cease and the
people again turn to the peaceful
pursuits Of agriculture.
This report of the airmen came to
us wholly as a surprise but they say
that, unknown to us, they have been
reading the PRESS and that since it
has so largely influenced them in
making their decision to recommend
North Dakota as the best place for
their people to seek homes, they feel
that the PRESS should have the sub
stance of their report for it's Gap
probation Edition" They have in
vestigated while North Dakotans
slept and know far more about us
than we would imagine. They say
in substance:
"Starting out to investigate the op-
portunities in the United States for
our several peoples, we early decided
the south was too enervating and
unprogressive and the extreme west
overdone. An hours flight over New
England was enough to show us there
was no room there and in the Middle
West land is too high and other con-
ditions did not appeal to us.

The Man Who Wins.

The man who wins Is an average man,
Not built in any particular plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full OF
pluck.
When asked a question he does not
guess
He knows and answers mo" or Yes"
When set to a task that the rest can't
do,
He buckles down till he's put 1t
through;
Three things he learned: That the
man who tries,
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That 1t pays to know more than one
thing we'll;
That is doesn't pay all he knows to
tell.
For the man who wins is the man who
works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks.
Who uses his hands, his head. his
eyes,
The man who wins is the man who
tries.
