NATIONAL GUARD OF STATE

BY T. II. Harrison, Adjutant General.
The people of North Dakota are
Justly proud Of their regiment Of Ma.
tional Guardsmen. There are at pres
ent about eight hundred members, in.
Guiding officers. and consisting of the
following organizations: Twelve com.
panies Of infantry, machine gun
company, hospital corps and band.
The North Dakota regiment ranks
among the very best III the United
States. and according to government
reports is in very high standing for
efficiency and discipline. It is equipped
exceptionally well in every respect,
with the latest models Of guns and
paraphernalia, while some Of its mem.
bers bear the honor OF being among
the keenest sharpshooters in the Unit.
ed States army, navy or National
Guard. The state camp grounds are
ideal and are reputed in army circlee
as being the most beautiful in the
Northwest. Nearly every organization
has an up-to.date armory, we'll built
and spacious, with officers quarters,
drill halls. storerooms, gymnasiums.
bathrooms, and all necessary equip
ment. Nearly every member Of the
sreNment is an athlete of no mean
ability.
In 1898 the state sent 71S men, which
was more than its quota, to the Phil.
fppines. The regiment made q most
enviable record, participating in 81 en-.
gnsements and penetrating farther
into the interior than any other volun.
teer regiment. So valiant were their
deeds that upon one occasion General
Lawton gave utterance to his wei.
known statement: you can't STAN.
pede the North Dakotas."
Every North Dakotan can and
should be Justly proud Of his citizen
soldiers, for in case of need to protect
,ome and lives 1t stands without
nance Of dispute that every man 81
lem would acquit himself nobIy.

This 1915 North Dakota has probably raised the best

the best crops produced by any state Quite large part OF

RICH COAL DEPOSITS
BILLIONS OF TONS OF Ignite
ukpERLiE LANDS OF eTATE.
Can Supply It's Own Fuel Needs for
Hundreds Of Years to
Como,

That the western part Of North Da-
kota Ia heavily underlain with beds OF
Ignite coal OF high grade has been
matter Of common knowledge for many
years. but any systematic develop.
ment of these vast resources has been
a matter OF only comparatively recent
years.
Governmental surveys disclose that
at least $4,000 square miles are un.
derlain with deposits OF this splendid
fuel. the available quantity being esti-
mated at five hundred billion tons.
Mining of this fuel was begun at first
in small way. but each year now
sees vast increase In the output un.
I'll the average now reaches 100000
tons and Is steadily increasing. This
product Is used as fuel by all tho state
institutions and Is furnished to large
and ever.increasing number Of domes.
tic and Industrial consumers.
A Valuable Fuel.
AS a fuel Ignite is thoroughly rec.
ognized to be Of great value. Recent
experiments have been successful In
producing briquette. stable and
weatherproof. OF about the same spe-
cif1c gravity as anthracite coal, equal
to the latter in heating power and do
lverable outside the door OF the con
sumner at price below that of any
eastern coal. This cost is figured with
out taking into consideration the value
of by-products procured during the
process Of manufacture which would
still further reduce the price at which
1t could be probably sold. Several
plants now exist for the manufacture
Of these briquettes and more IRE in
contemplation.
For production Of fuel and illumi.
mating gas this coal possesses q value
superior to almost any other variety,
and when the vast deposits underlying
thousands of square miles In western
North Dakota are recalled. some con.
ception may be formed of the vast
wealth now lying beneath the surface
awaiting development.

Increase Is LARGE.


Twenty-Five years ago the most au.
thentic records then available showed
that there were 2.597,561 acres under
cultivation. Statistics gathered in the
spring of 1915 show 16,229.792 acres
actually under the pillow. a gain Of
approximately 600 per cent. or 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 /.
1915. of 149,851,8S7 bushels, as com.
pared with 17,793.772 bushels in 1889.
The yield of oats in 1915 is estimated
at 101, 55o,339 bushels. gain in near
ly 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 phenomenal gain Of
over 1000 per cent. In the year 1911
the assessors figures place the acre,
age at $4,000 acres. as against 794.34S
acres in 1915. In 1911 the statistics
show total yield Of 1.637.s51 bushels
as against 16,9S0,040 bushels in 1914.
Alfalfa and Other Grasses.
The state of North Dakota is par
ticularly proud of its record in the 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 q total OF
28,982 acres in 1915. In 1911 there
was the following acreage of other
grasses: Glover, ITO; timothy. &c.
$40; bronze grass. 25.492: other tame
hay. 24,039. In 1915 the statistics
show as follows: Clover, 23,147; tim.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
ACTIVITIES IN THAY 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 DUAL.
ity Is OF uniformly high grade.
This year there are 230,337 milch
cows In the state. There arc nearly
ono 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 profltably planted and matured
have both given additional stimulus
to the dairy industry which promises
In the near future to be ono Of the
most important in the state.
Legislative enactments are constant
ly being made to strengthen the su
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 lave
are being actively enforced with
most gratifying results.
Nearly 100000 pounds of butter
were made In North Dakota families
in 1914. In the same year farmers
sold the creameries 13,462,000 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:
