FARMERS SHOULD.
NOT SELL HERDS

Mr.. w. H. Peters, animal husband
man for the North Dakota Agricultur-
al college has spent few days in
the central corn belt states for the
purpose of determining conditions and
the livestock outlook from the stand
point of the North Dakota farmer. He
indicates that the crop prospects are
excellent in large section of the
corn belt and that the feed crop will
be large.
Evidences exist throughout the en-
tire country that in the past several
years there has been considerable
selling of breeding stock, especially
of cattle and hogs. The farmers. gen
orally, realize at the present time that
they have made mistake in selling
their breeding stock so close and are
anxious now to secure COWS and brood
sows. This has resulted in a strong
demand for all good stock and high
prices are paid.
The corn belt farmer is not yet in
the market for feeder cattle and hogs,
but as soon as the maturity of the
corn crop is assured it is expected
that the demands will increase. In the
event that early frost occurs with a
correspondingly greater increase in
soft corn Mr.. Peters considers that
there will be great demand for feed
er cattle.
In conclusion he states that North
Dakota farmers owning livestock have
everything to gain and apparently
nothing to lose by holding their feeder
cattle and hogs until the corn belt
crop is ready for feed. 1t also ap'
pears that good business would lean
one to hold over cattle of good breed
ing stock. There is every evidence
to indicate that when this stock is
once sold it is going to be difficult
problem to replace it with stock OF
equal quality or at equal price.

FLAX RUNNING TEN TO
z BUSHELS PER ACRE
ON SIOUX RESERVATION
Men Who Are Leasing Indian
Lands Have Fine Crops in
Sight, Says G. A. Rust

With flax averaging 10 to IL bushels
to the acre and native hay running a
ton to the acre, real money is being
made in the Standing Rock reserva
tion country. says G.. A. Rust of I'm.
derwood, who was in Bismarck today
en- route home from Mclaughlin
where he had been looking over his
900 acres of fax. Flax, states Mr..
Rust, is doing unusually well. The dry
weather is favoring the crop, rushing
it to an early ripening, which will
obviate danger of frost. Flax men
have changed their prayers for rain
to petitions for dry weather and con-
tinued dry weather. McGrey and kjal-
strup of Underwood have about 1000
acres of leased land on the reserva-
tion, and their crop is coming through
in good shape The cutting of flax
began this week Mr. Rust also has a
crew of men making hay. He states
that any may who had foresight
enough to lease some large tracts of
this government land could easily
have cleaned up several thousand dol
lars clear profit on hay at $3.50 per
ton.

.BEHRBAUh SENTENCED
TO SERVE 5 YEARS

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2i.-Material for
thrilling, but pathetic magazine
story, with "sob' in every line, is
involved in the case of VIM. Behr
baum, sentenced yesterday to serve
five years at hard labor in Lcaven
worth prison by judge Chas. r. Ami
don. Behrbaum pleaded guilty to 16
counts of an Indictment returned re.
Gently by the federal grand jury
charging him with the embezzlement
of $500 from the First National bank
of New Salem, N d.
Behrbaum is but 2i years of age.
He is the son of prosperous and
highly respected farmer of the New
Salem vicinity. He grew t, manhood
in that neighborho:d and hao won a
high place in the esteem Of the COM
munity.
Through the influence of the wife of
the president of the First National
bank of New Salem. who had been
young Behrbaum's teacher in the To-
cal school there, he was given posi-
ton in the bank and through his own
merits rapidly won position of trust
and responsibility.
He was advanced to the position of
cashier He became engaged to marry
pretty New Salem girl. There was
every reason to believe that he would
make quick and sure success in the
banking business. But he tried to go
too fast.
He was bitten by the speculation
bug Stories of swift riches, won
through the grain and stock markets,
stirred his imagination and he began
specializing in wheat. He took the
wrong side of the market, lost more
money than he could lord and began
taking money from the bank in the
attempt to win back what he had lost.
He became more and more involved,
and one day national bank exam
iner appeared on the scene, with the
inevitable result.

would not only raise wheat for bread
but oats for horses and mules. Corn
could be raised both for animal and
human food. Fresh vegetables also
could be grown, including potatoes
onions and cabbages, all parts of the
regular American army ration.
Such farm would make the army

France, if the food farm were in op,
Grafton need carry only staples like
sugar, coffee, tea, salt, pepper and
meat. This would give the govern
ment far more space for carrying
clothing, ammunition, rifles, etc.
If the plan is Put through, in addi.
ton to 1000 volunteer farmers the
first ship would carry quantities of
fertilizers, agricultural implements,
stump pullers, etc.
1t is also claimed for this scheme
that as the armies in France grew
bigger it would be possible to send
more volunteer farmers and take
over more land, 1t is figured that
1000 men can cultivate enough land
to supply vegeta blcs for 100000.

BY MILTON BRoNNER.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 24.-If the
war department puts it's o. k. on a
proposal recently made to it by some
of the best agricultural authorities in
this country, Uncle Sam will soon
have over 1000 expert farmers "some'
where in France" arranging big war
farm to feed the American armies.
There are great landed estates in
France not being farmed because OF
lack of men, fertilizer and farming i'm
plements and because of the difficulty
of clearing off the SOIL especially in
regions recently occupied by Ger
mans.
These estates could be utilized by
Uncle Sam, by agreement with the
French government and the owners Of
the land. At present every pound of
food consumed by American soldiers
in France has to be shipped from
here, when every inch of space in
ships Is more valuable than diamonds.
