NORTH DAKOTA CROPS
PROMISE BUMPER YIELDS

Every indication points to the fact
that North Dakota will continue to be
one Of the few bright spots in the f.
nancial world. This is due to the fact
that crop yields promise to be excel
lent and this fact together with only
fair crops in other sections will mean
that the big was will force prices up
to q most profitable basis. Within the
past two weeks, the Northeastern
Bankers Headquarters at Grand Forks
has received and tabulated crop re-
ports which have been forwarded te
them by their bank members. These
reports are most interesting and en-.
couraging. Wheat. oats and barley
are in excellent condition with nc
signs Of rust. Rye is making very
fair showing considering the fros'
setback Of the spring and even corr
may make a partial crop in some sec
tions. This information comes from
all over the state also.
North Dakota is due for another biz
year. Good crops, high prices, fin,
climate, pure air and healthful living
conditions-what better could we ask

iPLOWING VS.. DlsCING
AFTER THE BINDER

"From tests that have been made y
says bulletin Of the Grand Forks
Commercial Club Better Farming
Committee, blowing has been better
for storing moisture than discing. II
heavy rains fall, the increase in mois-
ture content Of plowed land over disc
ed land is greater. This is to be ex-
pected, since the p'owing stirs the
surface Of the soil more thoroughly
and puts it in better condition to catch
any rain that comes. The plowine
will also kill all of the weeds. The
disc does not in all cases do this. Il
may be preferable--if a soil does no,
blow when it is fall plowed-to plov
the stubble fields instead of discine
them. This, however, is frequent, :,
impracticable, due to the dryness o.
the SOIL"

EDITOR AND FAMILY ENJOY
DAY AT MORGAN FARM
Diversity Appears 10 BE the Slogan of
Riverside Stock Farm and
Is Showing Results

Through the courtesy of Mrs. j. A.
Morgan and family The Times editor
and household spent very pleasant
day Sunday at their Hudson farm. j.
NJ. Morgan came in with his fine REQ
car and took us out in the forenoon
and returned US in the evening. The
splendid chicken dinner served by
Mrs. Morgan and Miss Bessie was
winner. The home baking, the home
preserves, were of the best.
The Morgan Bros, A. l.. and j. NJ,
farm under the name of the Riverside
Stock Farm. While much attention is
given to raising Of thoroughbred lines
Of stock, it is by no means exclusive.
Besides putting in their own place of
800 acres, they have enough land
rented to have in crop this season
about $500 acres. Fifteen hundred
acres of this has an immense crop of
wheat, mostly of the durum and mar
quis varieties. 1t is very even and
stands five and six feet high. On the
Miss Murray farm they have in 175
acres Of fax on new breaking, have
1875 acres to corn, have two patches of
alfalfa of about IA acres, and the bal
ance of the acreage is in feed crop
such as barley, oats and speltz. Be
sides this they have in nice patch of
potatoes, and Mrs. Morgan has fine
garden with lots of vegetables for the
table.
A ride through the pastures shows
"a bunch of ninety-two head of horses
These run to the Percheron breed
some being thoroughbreds. The cat.
tie run to the Guernsney breed, while
the swine are of the large type POLAND
China. One fine sow in this buncl
won the head prize at the Minnesota
state fair some years ago. This yeal
she raised eleven fine pigs. She will
in fair condition, tip the scales at 11O(
pounds. The head of the herd is alst
a fine specimen and about the same
size. Their herd now numbers abou
thirty.
Morgan Bros. have yard full O.
machinery. They have their ow,
threshing rig, and do a big business
in the fall months in turning out tn,
grain. Their big engine they also us,
for breaking and seeding. A larg
artesian we'll spouts good stream o
water in the barn and is piped to tn
residence.
The business of this farm is not fig
ured by the thousands but by the ten
of thousands of dollars in q year. /
this years crop is all saved, and
looks as if it would be, it will be tn
banner crop of the farm. This is on
of the cd farms of the county, in fac
is close to the old townsite of Hudson
where the family has farmed all thes
years. We like to see all prosper, bu
none more than the old timers.

ARTEsIAN WELLS ARE
ON THE BUM


The city council has been wrestling
the past week with the water problem.
1t was found that about $500 worth
OF electric juice was consumed per day
to run the big pump, the artesian wells
having ceased to furnish enough wa
ter and very little pressure. They
wired in for smaller pump, to be run
by steam, and this can be run for
about so cents per day. The North
Dakota Artesian We'll Company is at
work trying to open the Second street
well, which appears to have struck q
leak down about 1000 feet. In the
meantime the mains are filled with
hard water.

MONEY IN THE BANK
Is WHAT TALKS

A great many propositions look fine
on paper and it's poor salesman who
can't make any proposition look good
while he is talking to you, but what is
really the final test is the money in
the bank. When your farm crops are
harvested and your money is in the
bank, then you know tha: your season
has been success. When your stock
is off your shelves and the money and
profit are in the bank, then you know
that your business is prospering. It's
the same with q state. Many lands
are advertised but its when your peo-
pie have got their money in the bank
that they can feel that they are pros
pering. North Dakota can be assured
of that fact. A study of bank growth
shows steady increases of wealth in
this state. The banks in Grand Forks
alone have during the past six years
increased their capital nearly so per
cent, their surplus has increased q
hundred per cent in the same time,
and their deposits are now about one
million dollars greater than they were
in 1910. During the same period the
city's assessed valuation has practic-
ally doubled. These prosperous con-
ditions are duplicated in the differen,
communities Of this great state. North
Dakota is . great home state-there
is none better.

PIPE FOR STEAM
MAINS ON WAY
MAIN BUSINESS SECTION TO BE
HEATED FROM POWER PLANT
To Re Under New Corporation to Be-
Known . Oakes Public Service
Company

DR.. F. "A. Blakeslee, of the Oakes
Light & Power Company, and his cleo
trical engineer, H. E. Zorn, returned
Saturday from Minneapolis, where
they purchased the pipe and fittings
for the steam mains to lead from the
light plant to the four main business
blocks Of the city. DR.. Blakeslee as
sured The Times this week that work
would begin at once-in fact had be-
gun-for the laying Of the mains.
The franchise under which the COM
pany is working was granted last
winter, and unless work was started
would expire by Oct. 1st. The COM
pany organized for this purpose will
be known as the Oakes Public Service
Company. The same boilers will be
used as for the Oakes Light & Power
Company.
Heat will be measured by meter and
charged for on the pound basis Of
steam condensation. It is figured
that this system will give more even
heat and will not be any more expen-
sive than the individual systems, and
will get away from the dirt of feeding
and taking out ashes.
Oakes is again to be congratulated
on having such man as DR.. Blakes.
