Duluth to the coast.
If the reader will turn to page
three he will find a complete compila-
ton of the new laws enacted by the
fourteenth Legislative assembly of this
state. There are a total of over two
hundred Of the measures introduced
that have become law, and the short
synopsis Of each gives the reader an
idea of just what the measure stands
for. We would suggest that the page
be filed away for future reference, as
in many ways it will be found as use
full as a copy of the session laws.
On Friday last week a young mar
by the name of Archie Roby was
given a hearing and remanded for
trial at the next term of court on It
charge of stealing wheat from the
granary on a farm owned by John
Hope, Of Hope township. Defendant
hauled the load in about seven O'Clock
that morning and was arrested while
attempting to sell the wheat at one of
the elevators, Enquiries in the mean
time having been made by telephone
from the locality in which he was
thought to have brought the wheat
verifying the suspicion that the load
had been stolen from the John Hope
farm. He subsequently owned up to
the theft and is out under bond pend
ing his trial.

Langdon certainly seems to be
headed straight ahead for an era of
building prosperity for 1915. Last
week an early start was made on quite
an extensive line of improvements,
which have been planned for the First
National Bank block this summer.
Just as soon as the frost is sufficiently
out of the ground to %eXcavate the
foundation, work will commence on
the new Great Northern depot, which
it is now an assured certainty will be
built this summer. There is also talk
of a new concrete auto garage mate
rializing later along in the season.
Now, if the county Jail project had
gone through wouldn't 1915 have been
a regular hummer for the building of
public improvements in Langdon?

WHY RAISE LESS WHEAT?

The average yield of spring wheat
III Minnesota in 1914 as reported by
the department of agriculture was
1O.5 bushels per acre and there were
d, 600, 900 acres of that crop in the
state. 1t cost SIT 30 an acre to raise
it, or in other words wheat in Mime
sofa cost the farmer 81. SIS per bushel
to produce it, and the December LIST
farm value, in spite of war prices,
was only $1.O2, which means a net
loss Of So cents a bushel, and a total
of $50, $50, 900 on the 1914 Mime
sofa wheat crop. Here in North
Dakota the average yield is shown by
the same statistics to have been LIP
bushels per acre, costing Sl.54 per
bushel to produce. In South Dakota
the yield is given as being only 9
bushels per acre, which brought the
cost of production up to $1.92 per
bushel. In presenting these figures,
which we firmly believe to show facts,
we are fully aware that there are
some farmers, who will take excep-
ton to what is contained in the state
ment, which is taken from the last
number of the Northwestern Agricul-
~turalist, but not one will say that the
farmers have been making any money
for a number of years past by the
raising of wheat.
Is it not a fact that in many cases
the mortgage has grown a little
larger, Notwithstanding that the whole
family has been working hard and the
strictest economy has been practiced
by all of them? How many farmers
will tell you that they were never so
short of ready money as they are now :?
Taking such facts as these into con-
&ideration, does it not show clearly
That there is q dangerous leak some
wiere? Is it not barely possible that
the experiment stations are more
Aarly correct in their estimates of
what it costs to raise grain crops than
we are willing to give them credit
for? If an 11.2 bushel crop of wheat
in forth Dakota costs SIT. Is, the
inc table result is a loss to every
w who raises it, This loss is
u~sually covered up by the labor Of the
farmer, his family and the horses, but
it is there nevertheless. The only
correction for the difficulty is to make
each acre cultivated yield more than
$17. IS. If it cannot be done with
wheat, then something else must be
substituted or there will be no profit
on the farm. Every man, every boy,
every and every animal that
works on the farm should carr money
for the family bank account. Their
services are valuable and if they have
to work to merely make ends meet,
there is no profit. Think it over.
