FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING

Diversified farming, a salient need

prosecuted. is fast having it's benefits
recognized in the Sunshine state. f!
Without question the most impor.
tant happening in North Dakota's ag-
ricultural history, apart from the,
phenomenal increase in production
and acreage, is the marked tendency
during the past few years, to abandon
the exclusive one or two-crop method;
of farming in favor of a scientific 70!
tation Of crops, and the maintenance
on the farm of the proper number OF
farm animals, such as horses, cattles
sheep and hogs. ,
Good farming. good methods Of cul1
tivation. intelligent tillage of the soil,
is the slogan in North Dakota. The
fact has been demonstrated beyond
any reasonable doubt that the yields
of the various grains a be greatly;
increased and often doubled by the in,
telligent cultivation of the soil, not
only increased In amount but rendered,

1t is now a demonstrated fact that

RICH COAL DEPOSITS
BILLIONS OF TONS OF Ignite
UNpERLIE LANDS OF STATE.
Can Supply Its 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 q
matter Of common knowledge for many
years. but any systematic develop.
ment of these vast resources has been
q matter of only comparatively recent
years.
Governmental surveys disclose that
at least $4,000 square miles are I'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 q vast increase in the output un-
til the average now reaches 100000
tons and is steadily increasing. This
product is used as fuel by all the state
institutions and is furnished to q 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 briquette, stable and
weatherproof, of about the same spe'
ciic 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
it could be prof1tably sold. Several
plants now exist for the manufacture
of these briquettes 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.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

Quality Of North Dakota Dairy Prod.

An industry that is fast coming In
to it's own in North Dakota is that Of
dairying. Already the North Dakota
creamery product is recognized In the
eastern markets as q formidable rival
of the best brands Of the great but
ter-making corporations, and the
North Dakota housewife knows moth
ing but butter and cream whose quail.
ity is of a uniformly high grade.
This year there are 230,337 mich
COWS in the state. There are nearly
one hundred creameries in the state
and many others will be rapidly added
as the special fitness Of the soil and
climate comes to be more fully recog.
nized. The more extended use OF the
silo and the o thoroughly demon
strated fact that corn and alfalfa can
be profitably planted and matured
have both given additional stimulus
to the dairy industry which promises
in the near future to be one Of the
most important in the state.

Diversification Of Farming Industries

North Dakota has been noted for
leadership in the production of spring
wheat. Our farmers have become ex-
pert in it's 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
in the production of wheat but in the
Investigation 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

operations rather than the main pur-

lions 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.

duction Of wheat to the acre. 1t means
fewer burning straw stacks and more
