EDGELEY PLANS FOR
A CHEESE FACTORY

Bdgeley, Dec. 29.-That the farmers
of this vicinity are alive to the fact
that new methods are crowding in on
the farming community is shown by
the interest being taken in the PROPOSE
ton to start cheese factory here.
While the plans are not definite, it Is
an almost assured fact that the propo-
sition will be 60 and that the new
venture will be started. A large num-
Der of farmers have signifie3 their
willingness to take stock and to fur
nish the product from their cows to
make the factory success if started.
People who know say that in Wiscon-
sin there are successful farmers who
would not live in community where
there are no cheese factories. 1t pay
better than selling the cream to the
centralizers, is less trouble, and there
is not the fluctuation in price that
there is in selling the cream to the
creamery.

KEEP The SMALL TOWN

That the small town is getting small
er and the large town larger, is an as
sured fact. In that case it is only a
question Of time when the small town
WHY disappear. From a recent article
in fhe Farmers Review it was shown
1hat seventy-nine farms within two
tmiles of market averaged in value
$78.7O an acre; while one hundred and
eighty-three farms, two to four miles
from market, averaged 5000 an acre.
One hundred and twenty-six farms
four to six miles from market, were
worth $1,000 and acre; one hundred
and thirteen farms, six to eight miles
to market, were worth $500 an acre;
and one hundred and forty-nine farms
over eight miles from market averaged
$500 an acre.
Although there are many other rea-
sons for maintaining the small town,
it's influence in land values seems suf-
ficient for farmers to take an active in
terest in their home towns.

HAS GOOD WORD FOR
NORTH DAKOTA TROOPS

Bismarck, Jan. 1.-Perry Harrison,
vice president of the Winston, Harper,
Fisher company of Minnesota, has
some very complimentary things to
say of the North Dakota troops in a
letter to his brother, Lewis Harrison.
The writer has only recently re-
turned from the border, and in COM
menting on his trip he says: I'VE
stopped at Mercedes and were within
a few blocks of the First North Da'
kota infantry, thus enabling me to
see good deal of the North Dakota
boys. They are a fine set Of men in
dividually, and l very much regret
that l did not have opportunity to
see them in maneuver, as l am sure
they would have held their own with
any national guard regiment now on
the border
Perry Harrison formerly was in
command of a Minnesota regiment
and is man of wide experience in
military affairs. His commentator
of the guard therefore means some
thing.

STOVES VERY EXPENSIVE
LUXURY ~ NORTH DAKOTA

Bismarck, Dec. 28-Stoves are an ex-
pensive luxury for North Dakota, judg-
ing from report just issued by the ma
tional board Of fire underwriters of
New York city. During the year 1915
among preventable fires causing loss
Of $324,488, stoves and furnaces were
the greatest offenders, destroying prop.
erty valued at $131,171, or 1874 of the
whole. Second in rank of destructive
ness are noted defective chimneys and
flues, with quota of $S2,321.
The reports shows that in addition to
the preventable fires referred to, prop
erty to the value of $405,139 was de-
stroyed by fires partly preventable.
The percentage of preventable fires in
North Dakota for 1915 is shown to
have been 1872, as against 2S.6 in South
Dakota and Is per cent in Minnesota
while of partly preventable fires North
Dakota's percentage is 41.2 as compar'

wheat for seed as in other years at

the laboratory may be swamped with
samples in the spring. Growers are
urged to send their samples for test
now so as. to spread the work over a
greater length of time. Many samples
of wheat are found to be of low ger
mination; and there have been many
that show high termination but a

There are probably many people in
North Dakota who believe that under
the new order of things that the legis-
latare can and will pass laws to make
the poor people rich. This is a false
idea. No matter what laws are passed
it will still require energy and indus
try to prosper. The farmers who
came to thf state in the early days and
stuck are mostly we'll to do because
of their hard work and the increase in
the price OF land which they were FORE
sighted enough to homestead or pur-
chase. Those who came early and are
poor may have had hard luck in some
instances, but mostly 1t is because
they overlooked or disregarded their
opportunities. After the close of the
coming legislative session the business
of the state will 60 on as before. 1t is
very unlikely that anything in the line
of legislation will be so radical as to
seriously affect the present satisfac.
tory condition of our state and people.
