Give Us Gopd Men.

Give us men with public spirit;
with the welfare of the whole COM
munity at heart; with encourage
ment for every laudable enterprise;
with assistance for mankind and
with feeling of pride for the
town in which they live, thrive
and gain wealth with a welcome to
the stranger who has come many
miles in quest of a home; with
charity in their hearts as large as
their pocketbooks; with a kindly
feeling for home newspapers, and
then support and aid them. Such
men we need; such are admired
such men go about the world
through rosy pathways, and never
a frown o'ershadows their brow,
but they are happy in the supreme
konwledge that they have done the
best they could they worked tor
their fellowman and thereby assist
ed themselves.

Looking For
Something Better

When a man tells you he has
something to sell that is so good
it needs no advertising--you may
we'll view him with suspicion. The
man who really has something good
is so proud of it that you could not
keep him from advertising it. He
Just naturally wants to tell every
one about it---and his enthusiasm
goes into every line he writes. And
the goods sell because he makes
the public catch something of this
enthusiasm. Newspaper advertising
is the great outlet for the written
message that sells the goods. 1t
reaches an audience that is always
looking for something better.

1t is pride more than dis
honesty that lead people into
debt. We see others, who be-
cause of a richer. grandfather,
are living in luxury of every
description, and our pride as

and we banker to initiate them.
This may be natural, but it is
fatal. 1t leads us to excuses i'll
living and in expenditures.

When a stranger drops in
town, jolly him. Tell him this

is. Don't discourage him by
speaking i'll of your neighbors.
Lead him to believe he has at
last struck a place where good
people live. p.

Largest Cotton Crop.

The Department of Agriculture
estimates the 1914 cotton crop at
is, 1863, 900 bales. This is the
largest production in the
history of the cotton industry.
The 1911 crop held the record to
the present year, with a production
of Is, $50, 7O1 bales. 1t is estimated
that there is at least two million
bales in the field. much of it
deserted by discouraged farmers
and which, will probably never be
gathered.
The 1914 crop also among the
largest in production per area,
averaging 2OS pounds per acre and
reaches the low water mark in
price. The price officially esti-
mated for the 1914 crop is & cents
per pound against an average
price of IL cents per pound in
1913 and a production of 1872
pounds per acre.

Single Crop is J
Bad System

-
have lived in vain. The lesson
is, the folly and inevitable dis
aster of the single crop system;
the prophecy is of bette things
under the practice of diversih-
cation, crop rotation and live
stock breeding ..2.
1t was old Aesop who, is an
apt fable, emphasized the folly
of putting all ones eggs III
one basket. 1t is madness for
the farmer to subject his for
tune to the risk incident to
the vagaries of the weather,
and to pests and enemies that
might destroy one kind of crop
but be perfectly harmless to
another. By planting several
varieties some will thrive I'M
der conditions might be des-
tructive to others, and there
by he would be reasonably
certain of one in any event.
In the case of cattle and hogs
they are like the interest OH a
mortgage---they make money
for you while you sleep: .If.the
old year out of which we have
gone left one message to South
west Louisiana it is undoubt-
eddy this Diversity, rotate
your crops, raise plenty OF
cattle and hogs" There ought
to be no farmer in this section
who will disregard this mess
age.
But the disasters of 1914
left another lesson for us.
More than eyer before it im-
pressed upon us the fact that
no part of society can suffer
without. bringing suffering to
a greater or less extent upon
all others. WHEN the : farmer
was unable to- sell his cropthe
resultant suffering did not ETA
feet him alone; the cobwess
grew on the shelves,rof. the
merchant; notes remained un-
paid at the bank; the doctor
worked as hard as ever but. his
patients were unable to. colleet
their bills; the lawyer. had
more work to do than ever be-
fore and had to do it on credit.
Isn't it easy to see, then,
how deeply it is to the interest
Of all of these to help the
farmer to get on a foundation.
And that is the work of the
Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau. Hearty coopera-
ton between al the classes
mentioned above is essential
to the success of all; and that
cooperation can be brought
:, above most effectively through
the medium of this Bureaus
We CART continue under
the old system which has re-
suited in putting the South
away back behind every other
agricultural country in the
world. If we want to catch up
with the procession everybody
must lend a hand in this good
year Of 1915. The Southwes,

Bottineau County Farmers

There is Disgusting the fact that Bot
tineau County needs farmers of the right sort.
Any land, even if it is a veritable Garden of
Eden, needs intelligent cooperation between the
farmer and Nature. In the early days of this
section of the state the term "Breadbasket of
the World" applied to this region, and all
the farmers who were attracted here by this
class of advertising by force of circumstan-
ces wheat farmers and consequently the great
possibilities of this part of North Dakota were
not realized until late years. when diversified
farming obtained foothold on our broad acres,
and it was found that upon very small invest
ment compared with the farms of Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri, much larger
returns could be obtained through diversified
farming. Not that the land not fertile
nough, but that better farming methods came
into fashion, and many Of our people were quick
enough to grasp the Importance of it. It is an
easy matter to point to scores of successful farm
ers who several years age made up their minds
that the soil of North Dakota too good to
devote entirely to wheat and flax, and that by
tried rotation of crops they could better their
financial condition and at the same time enrich
their lands Thus it is that Bottineau County
is now counted one of the best counties in the
state, from every standpoint.
The successful farmer of Illinois, Indiana, l.
owa Missouri and other central state cannot fail
here They have been forced to farm right in
these older states in order to secure proper COM
pensation for their toll and investment, and they
have known for long time that all wheat farm
ing is poor farming. We want the farmer that
knows the Importance of farming small farms
we'll; we want the men that are willing to work
here the same as they had to where they came
from; that are not satisfied with putting all
their eggs in one basket, but who are able to
see far into the future We want homebuilders
men and women who want good homees in a
good and bracing climate where the death rate
is very low. We want farmers who know stock
raising and who realize that few cows and
chickens will pay for their household necessit-
ies and the rturns from the crops they raise
can be applied to their bank accounts. To this
class of farmers the opportunities of Bottineau
County are unlimited, and they will find hearty
welcome extended to them upon their arrival.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1915-11-18

in every township were set aside and donated to
the state for school purposes, condition that
of the land should ever be sold for less
than $1,000 per acre. The land sold heretofore
has brot a great deal more than this amount
and the sum realized therefore has been wisely
invested, and now amounts to $20,000,000 and
$4,000 900; and when all school lands have been
sold the fund will undoubtedly amount to
$5O,OOOOOO. The interst on this sum is used
for school purposes lessening the taxes to be
paid and giving the people the very best school
facilities. In Bottneau County there are 1852
school buildings, of which 148 are in the rural
districts. There are four consolidated schools
in the county and six high schools, of which five
are classified. The schools of the county are
presided over by 245 teachers. The State School
of Forestry is located in the county, also, and
it would seem that there is nothing left to be
desired in the matter of schools for the rising
generation.
All religious denominations are represented
in the county, and beautiful church ediices are
to be found in every city and town, and through
out the rural districts.
