THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
ACTIVITIES IN THAT LINE SHOW
YEARLY INCREASE.
Quality Of North Dakota Dairy Prod.
ucts Cannot Be ExceIled In Any
Part of Country.

An industry that is fast coming in
to its own in North Dakota is that of
dairying. Already the North Dakota
creamery product is recognized in the
eastern markets as formidable rival
of the best brands Of the great but.
ter-making corporations, and the
North Dakota housewife knows moth
ing but butter and cream whose quail
ity is of uniformly high grade.
This year there are 23O,337 mich
cows in the state. There are nearly
one hundred creameries in the state
and many others will be rapidly added
as the special fitness of the soil and
climate comes to be more fully recog-
nized. The more extended use of the
silo and the now thoroughly demon
strated fact that corn and alfalfa can
be profftably planted and matured
have both given additional stimulus
to the dairy industry which promises
in the near future to be one of the
most important in the state.
Legislative enactments are constant
ly being made to strengthen the SUI
pervising power of the authorities so
that the public can be protected the
more thoroughly from unsanitary
methods of the manufacture and han
ding Of milk and cream. These laws
are being actively enforced with
most gratifying results.
Nearly 10,O00,O 900 pounds of butter
were made in North Dakota families
in 1914. In the same year farmers
sold the creameries 13,462,00O pounds
Of cream and milk receiving therefor
$2,998,127.
Dairy Production.
The comparative statement Of North
Dakota dairy production between the
years of 1910 and 1915 gives further
evidence of the steady and constant
growth of the state in this line Of
agricultural endeavor:

Increase Is Large.
Twenty-Five years ago the most au.
thentic records then available showed
that there were 2,5e7,561 acres under
cultivation. Statistics gathered in the
spring Of 1915 show 1929 1872 acres
actually under the pillow, gain OF
approximately 600 per cent. OF this
huge acreage, wheat now, as in the
earlier days of the commonwealth,
still holds first place, with an esti-
mated yield, under date of October 1,
1915. OF 149,s51,SS7 bushels, as com.
pared with 17,793,772 bushels in 1889.
The yield of oats in 1915 is estimated
at 101, 500, 1899 bushels. A gain in near
~ all Of the other crops is also esti-
mated at the same ratio.
Corn Makes Great Gain.
In the short period of three years
corn has made a phenomenal gain of
over 1000 per cent. In the year 1911
the assessors figures place the acre
age at 1917 800 acres, as against 794,34S
acres in 1915. In 1911 the statistics
show total yield of 1857 1851 bushels
as against 16,980,040 bushels in 1914.
Alfalfa and Other Grasses.
The state Of North Dakota ia par
ticularly proud Of it's record inethe mat
ter OF alfalfa and other tame grasses,
which is deserving Of special men-
ton. In 1911 the total acreage in al
falfa was 9,423, as against total Of
1882 acres in 1915. In 1911 there
was the following acreage Of other
grasses: Glover, 2,779; timothy, &c.
$40; bronze grass, 25,492; other tame
hay, 24,039. In 1915 the statistics
show as follows: Glover, 23.147; tim
othy, 1851; bronze grass. 1858.
There is now total acreage Of all
crops and grasses grown Of 1888, 475.

FUTURE OF NORTH DAKOTA
Diversification Of Farming Industries
Will Give Farmer His Great
est Profits.
BY THOMAS COOPER,
Director North Dakota Experiment
Station,

ny JfJOmtAS VOOF6ny
Director North Dakota Experiment
Station.
North Dakota has been noted for
leadership in the production of spring
wheat. Our farmers have become ex-.
pert in its production at minimum
cost. The states leadership in this is
passing as she comes in competition
with the new lands of the Canadian
| Northwest Consequently, the future
of North Dakota's agriculture lies not
in the production of wheat but in the
Investigation Of her farming indus
tries in which wheat shall he one Of
the leading products.
One does not require the spirit of
prophecy to see that only through the
reduction of the wheat acreage and
the increased production of feed
grains, corn, alfalfa and pastures will
the North Dakota farmer be enabled
to make his greatest profits. Diversi-
fication is particularly necessary in
this state. Methods of agriculture in
the less humid areas must be such as
will produce some classes of feed each
year. In these areas the farmer must
learn to depend largely upon live stock
and upon livestock products. The
production of small grains for sale
shall be an incident in the agricultural
operations rather than the main pur-
pose of operating the farm. In all Sec
lions Of the state sufficient live stock
must be maintained upon the farm to
utilize the roughage and to consume
the coarse grains. The production Of
forage, especially of alfalfa and corn,
will be materially increased.
In consequence, this means a re.
duced wheat acreage, but larger pro-
duction of wheat to the acre. It means
fewer burning straw stacks and moro
silos, and stacks of alfalfa hay in place
of the prairie grass. In the section
of the state devoted to large farms, as
we'll as in the rougher lands, there is
a splendid opportunity for further de-
velopment of the beef industry. This
enterprise will fit in we'll in the condi-
lions which prevail there. In the
areas of smaller farms, where more
labor is available, the dairy COW is
proving of value and importance.
Horses may be produced not only to
advantage but to high degree of ex-
cellence in practically every section
of the state. While the production OF
swine fits in we'll in farms where an
excess of feed grains can be produced.
North Dakota should become noted
as a producer of high-class horses,
beef cattle and dairy stock. Every in
vestigation that has been carried on in
this state shows that we have distinct
advantages along this line as COM
pared with many of the other states.
In a few words, the problem of the
North Dakota farmer is to SO organize
the farm that considerable percen-
tage of his income will be obtained
from live stock and livestock prod
ucts. This. l believe, is the type of
agriculture that we must develop in
this state, and the one which will
bring about the greatest agricultural
advancement. It is the basis of most
of our present agricultural problems.

North Dakota is the only state in
the Union which has undertaken the
operation of hail insurance depart

from the standpoint of cheap hail pro-

Owing to the fact that the insurance
companies, doing hail business

charged high rate for this class of
protection, bill was introduced and
passed at the 1911 session of the leg
islature, authorizing the formation of
hail department under the super.
vision of the state.
This was not compulsory law, but
left it optional with the party owning
the crop to insure with the state or
not as he saw fit.
The rate charged was 20 cents per
acre and this gave $500 per acre pro-
lection. This rate was in force for
two years, but it was found that 1t

FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Tendency Of Farmers Of State Is To.
ward Scientific Rotation
Of Crops.

Diversified farming, a salient need
in any community where it can be
prosecuted, is fast having its benefits
recognized in the Sunshine state.
Without question the most impor-
tant happening in North Dakota's ag-
ricultural history, apart from the
phenomenal increase in production
and acreage, is the marked tendency
during the past few years, to abandon
the exclusive one or two-crop method
of farming in favor of scientific ro-
tation of crops, and the maintenance
on the farm of the proper number of
farm animals, such as horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Good farming, good methods of Gull
tivation, intelligent tillage Of the soil,
is the slogan in North Dakota. The
fact has been demonstrated beyond
any reasonable doubt that the yields
of the various grains can be greatly
increased and often doubled by the in
telligent cultivation Of tho soil, not
only increased in amount but rendered
sure.
It is now demonstrated fact that
corn and alfalfa can be successfully
grown in every part Of North Dakota,
thus enabling farmers to take advan-
tage Of these valuable crops in their
rotation, and also maintain the ami
mails that thrive OH the hay. grain,
and ensilage thus procurable These
conditions have also resulted in
most remarkable increase in the dairy
ing industry in the past few years, and
at the rate at which purebred and
high-grade dairy stock is being
brought into the state, and the large
number of silos being erected annual
ly, all point to the time in the near
future when this industry will rival
in volume that of many Of the older
established dairy states of the Union.
The agricultural college of North
Dakota and its various substations
and demonstration farms are making
demonstrations and exemplifying to
the farmers the best and most ap-
proved methods Of farming so as to
avoid the loss and hardship that lack
Of knowledge often entails. With
these means of studying at first hand
the natural conditions and the meth
DDS of farming best adapted to the re-
gion, and with results of experiments
made by skilled and scientifically
trained men right on the ground. open
to the farmer and with published re-
ports of just what has been accom-
plished. all furnished free, there is no
need for the farmer to be without the
means Of intelligently cultivating his
land and developing to the best ad-
vantage its natural resources.
