GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS,

In the current issue of the Farm
and Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, J. L.
Sherard, South Carolina farmer,
writes sensible article in which he
advises farmers to keep out of court.
He tells the story of two farmers who
had a dispute over a strip of land
worth about $1.0O with the result that
one of them sued the other, thus bring
ing expense and foolish trouble to both.
Mr.. Sherard writes in part as follows:
"Conditions on the farm give rise to
many possible sources of dispute be-
tween neighbor and neighbor. 1t may
be trespassing COW that lays the
foundation for a heated complaint, or
the antics of vicious bull, or the
prowlings of a worthless hound, or a
flood that in an hour changes the chan
mel of a tiny stream. ..
'The chain of trouble-breeding Incl
dents that might occur at any time is
almost endless. e..
IF friction over alleged wrongs hap
pens to arise, the first wrong step
is to try to arbitrate the matter; the
second, and usually the limit in human
folly is to go to law about it.
"The sensible thing for the level
headed man to do when trouble ap.
pears is to go to his neighbor and meet
him upon terms of mutual interest.
"Right-minded. neighbors can, and
will, settle their grievances out of
court by means of a friendly com.
promise"

NORTH DAKOTA AT
THE BIG EXPOSITION

A sign at the North Dakota building
at the Frisco exposition is attracting a
great deal of attention, especially
those people who reside on the coast.
The sign reads: mo sage brush to
clear off before you can put in crop.
The land is ready for work." People
find it hard to believe that North OAK
ota has so much real tillable land, per-
haps, because they have never visited
the state. Out toward the coast most
of the land is covered with growth
of sage brush that must be cleared off
before the farmer can plant his crop,
and people living in that particular
section of the country naturally think
that all farm land is in the same con-
dition before it is put under the plow.
When they are told that whole count
les in North Dakota are 100 per cent
tillable, and are being titled, it makes
them think hard.

great deal of attention thus far and
the announcement that they are now
on display should bring large crowds

BY making comparisons do we ar
rive at the meat of things. This is
particularly true in regard to the coal
of North Dakota. It is not known
generally that North Dakota has more
square miles of coal deposits than
Pennsylvania, and yet this is abso>
lutely true. In fact North Dakota has
more than double the square miles of
coal deposits that Pennsylvania has.
Another thing that will interest people
is the fact that Ignite coal when form
ed in briquettes has from 20 to Is pe@
cent more heat units than anthracite
coal. The briquettes on display at the
North Dakota building at the exposi-
ton are coming in for their share of
attention in view of the above fact

and former North Dakotans now living
on the coast, will be in attendance.
1t will be a gala affair, with Governor

these a number of prominent men
