GOOD ROADS ARE AN ASSET
North Dakota Highways Compare Fa.
vorabIy With Those of Other
Young States.

Good roads are among the principal
veins and arteries of commerce and
communication. Since it's early state
attention to this important subject,
but the real impetus came with the
advent of the automobile. For so
young a state North Dakota need not
be ashamed of her highways, and each
year shows an improvement and ex-
tension in the important work.
Most Of the country roads are
graded and drained so that they
are in good condition soon after even
a heavy rain. Close attention to the
Improvement Of highway conditions
are given by all county governments.
There are at present over $4,000 au-
eomobiles owned and licensed in the
State. The money derived from state
licenses goes into a fund which is di.
wided pro rata among the counties,
and the new law provides that this
money shall be expended on the roads
under the supervision Of the county
commissioners.
Three important national automo.
bile highways pass through the state,
and there are also several other auto
trails of lesser Importance. The
Meridian road, extending from Penn
bina, in the extreme northeastern part
of the state, to Galveston, Tex, passes
along the eastern edge Of the state.
The Wonderland trail, extending from
&to hoa6s Of the great lakes RI the
Pacific coast, passes through the
northern part Of the state, and the
National Parks highway, known az
the Red trail, extending from New
York to the Pacific coast, passes
through the southern part of the state.
That North Dakota roads have been
chosen as a part of these important
highways is an evidence of their good
quality. ~

RICH COAL DEPOSITS.
BILLIONS OF TONS OF Ignite
UNDERLIE LANDS OF STATE.
Can Supply It's Own Fuel Needs for
Hundreds Of Years to
Come.

That the western part Of North Da-
kota is heavily underlain with beds of
Ignite coal Of a high grade has been a
matter Of common knowledge for many
years, but any systematic develop
ment of these vast has been
a matter OF only comparatively recent
years.
Governmental surveys disclose that
at least $4,000 square miles are m
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 a small way, but each year now
sees a vast increase in the output III
til the average o reaches 100000
tons and is steadily increasing. This
product ia used as fuel by all the state
institutions and Is furnished to a 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 a br1quette, stable and
weatherproof, of about the same spe-
cif1c gravity as anthracite coal, equal
to the latter in heating power and de-.
liverable outside the door of the con-
sumner at a 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 b]riquettes and more are in
contemplation.
For production Of fuel and illumi.
mating gas this coal possesses a 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.

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

BY THOMAS COOPER,
Director North Dakota Experiment
Station.
North Dakota has been noted for
leadership in the production of spring
wheat. Our farmers have become ext
pert in its production at a 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
dive%raification Of her farming indus
tries in which wheat shall be 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.
tions 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 a larger pro-
duction of wheat to the acre. It means
fewer burning straw stacks and more
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 a high degree Of ex-
cellence in practically every section
Of the state. While the production of
| swine Ats 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 a considerable percen-
tage Of his income will be obtained
from live stock and livestock prod.
ucts. This, I 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.

VAST. CLAY DEPOSITS
PROSPECTIVE WEALTH IN CLAWS
OF VARIOUS KINDS.
These Valuable Resources Mako Pos.
e'ble an Industry That Is Fast
Assuming Large Proportions.

The various and vast clay deposits
Df the state are a rich of &C.
fual and prospective wealth to North
Dakota. Clays for the manufacture
Of common building brick are found
I'm practically every county in the
state. Six counties furnish clay from
which the finest of pressed brick are
made. In three counties the clay
found is especially suitable for the
manufacture of paving brick and an.
other trio of counties furnish clay for
the manufacture of friedrich. The
clays in all the counties west of the
Missouri river are suitable for drain
tile, 1owerpots and other utensils.
Pottery and Porcelain.
In a number of counties also are
found the finer clay deposits suited for
the manufacture of pottery and por.
Celain ware, articles manufactured
from which vie in beauty with the
most splendid European and Chinese
porcelain. In support Of this claim
most magnificent specimens of the
potter's art have been created from
these clays and today are on exhibi.
ton in various parts Of the country.
These are proof to the most technical
critic that North Dakota abounds in
this valuable and in suffi.
cient quantity to supply the world
with pottery and chinaware for a
thousand years to come. 1t is merely
waiting for the attention Of capital
and the willing hand of man to be
converted into articles Of beauty and
service, thereby producing wealth.
Best Pressed Brick.
The manufacture of pressed brick
has already reached large proportions
I'm the state. Several splendidly
equipped establishments are engaged
in this business and their output is
found as far west as Seattle and other
coast cities and is also competing in
h southern and eastern markets with
the best product Of the most famous
brickmakers. North Dakota pressed
brick can be found in several build
angs in New York city. ,
Quite recently the government su-
pervising architect, the official intrust-
ed with the selection of brick for all
federal buildings, pronounced pressed
brick from North Dakota to be the
best ever submitted to him. So sue
%cessfully did it pass through the rigid
tests imposed on 1t that the official
suggested that perhaps 1t had been
specially prepared for the occasion.
Fresh selections were made, however,
from the run of the kiln, with equally
good results.
Having Healthy Growth.
The state engineer, in his annual
report, among other things has this to
say:
Keeping pace with the gradual and
steady increase in demand for clay
products, the industry has had a
healthy growth. With increased trans
portation facilities in the western part
of the state, and a greater market for
drain tile, pipe and building
and building material than ever be-
fore, there is an excellent opportunity
for the development of a large and
prosperous industry"
Cement mines are found in the Penn
bina mountains in the northeastern
part Of the state and are as yet prac-
tically undevelOped.

Nj. U. WILL GIVE
BOYS ITO MEDALS

500 Athletes to Compete for
Trophies on Annual High
High School Day.
Seven Silver Trophy Cups.
Twenty-six Gold Metals.
T~wenty-six Silver Medals.
Fifty-eight Bronze Medals.
And S125 scholarship.
The above prizes will be COM
peted for by Missouri High
School Students at the Twelfth
Annual High School Track Meet
and Debating Contest at the Uni
versity of Missouri May l. A
souvenir medal will be given to
each contestant. The present in
dications are that fully 600 ath-
letes will be the guests of the
University on this day. In or
der that the smaller high schools
of the state may have a fairer
chance in the competition there
will be two classes of schools
class B-High Schools with an
enrolment of less than $50, and
class A, High Schools of the
state with an enrolment of $50
or more, preparatory schools and
academies. The committee be-
lieves this will make a better
meet and offer fairer competi-
ton.
The mile run will not be held
this year, many teachers believ-
ing that the distance is too far
for high school boys. In addition
to the other regular events held
each year, there will be a Medley
Relay which will consist of teams
of four men, the first man to run
100 yards, the second 220 yards,
the third 440 yards and fourth
$50 wards. This race will not
count for points, but a special
cup will be given the winning
team and gold, silver and bronze
medals to members of teams fin
ishing first, second, third and
fourth, respectively. 1t is
thought that this race will give
the best coached team a chance
to show its ability. There will
be first, second, third and fourth
places in each event of the day.
A series of debating contests
were held between Missouri High
Schools during the winter and
the final contest determining the
winning team of the state will be
held High School day. A scholar
ship valued at $125 will be given
to the best debater.
