North Dakota Farmer
M ..'. -
is Leading Procession

Grand Forks, Nov. 4.-The stand
ard of comparison for farm efficiency
is the amount which state produces
for each person engaged in farming.
BY the test the american farmer ap-
pears to be from two to six times as
efficient as most of his competitors.
According to the records of the
North Dakota Development League
press bureau at Grand Forks, the
North Dakota farmer appears to be at
the head of the list of American farm
ers, this efficiency being due in large
part however to the wonderful pro-
ductivity of North Dakota lands and
to the fact that so very large per-
centage of the lands can be readily and
easily worked. -
The three states where the farmers
lead in the production Of crops are:
North Dakota $2,429 for each farm
er. Nevada, $2,203, for each farmer.
California $1,736, for each farmer.
From this the list dwindles down to
New Mexico, where the average far.
mer produces $3.50 worth of crops.
The crops in North Dakota amount.
ed to more per capita for all citizens
of the state than the crops in any
other state. There was a per capita
production last year of 1913 in North
Dakota; South Dakota came next with
$215 per capita-$9S per capita less
than North Dakota; then came Neb
raske, $165; Iowa, $141; Kansas, $127;
Idaho, sos and all others were below
500. Rhode Island produced only
$500 per capita, and Massachusetts
$500.

The USEFUL POTATO


When the palate is weary of turkey
And other gastronomy frills,
And even the succulent oyster
No longer the vacancy fills,
Then we turn to the humble potato,
Deliciously mealy and white,
Bursting out of it's homely brown
jacket
The pepper and salt to invite.
Oh, what is so tempting for breakfast
AS a plate of potatoes well fried,
Or hot baked potatoes for supper,
When a norther is bowling outside?
And mashed to creamy consistence
With plenty Of gravy and hot,
They're fit for an epicture's table,
And always go right to the spot.
A stew with the favor of onions
Is diet delightful to MUNICH,
And a salad of cold boiled potatoes
Is tasty addition to lunch.
Though the prices of terrapin, salmon,
And similar dainties are steep,
Who cares while the lowly potato,
The wholesome potato is cheap!
