hetterment of crops produced, and
their substa ntial increase per annum.
A lengthy discourse on the modern
methodist farming is unnecessary. the
facts noted above being sufficient to
bring forth the point that as farming
methods are improved crop conditions
will turn in the same direction as a
natural course Of events.
Not a One-Crop State.
At one tire there were many who
held the idea that North Dakota was
one-crop state. When wheat did
not come up to expectations. 1t was
taken for granted hard times would
follow. That North Dakota is not a
one-crop state, and does not depend
entirely on wheat alone, was forcibly
demonstrated IN 1915 and 1916. Dur
ing those years banner wheat crop
was expected, but failed to material
ize. Regardless Of the wheat crop loss,
the farmers prospered. The profits
from their other crops more than off,
set the loss in wheat.
Spring wheat is undoubtedly the
biggest crop produced in the state. In
1act. SO great is this crop that but lit
tie space need be given to extolling its
virtues. Suffice it to say that in years
when tillers Of the soil realize a good
wheat crop. along with their profits
on other grains, prosperity reigns su-
preme.
Alfalfa Crop Increasing.
Alfalfa is gradually nosing into first
place among the leading crops of the
slate, permanent and prosperous
farming anywhere and everywhere
demands the growing and feeding of
some legume. No other legume is so
valuable, as alfalfa is we'll adapted to
the climatic conditions of the north
west. particularly North Dakota.
Like qualities of drouth and cold
resistance and yields are possessed by
no other legume that can be grown in
TINS great area. Being hardy per-

for several years and furnishing n

tremely rich in protein, the most ex
pensive elements in feeds. makes al

world. The northwest Is fortunate in

0RATORIO SOCIETY IS
DOING GREAT WORK
Auditorium-Has Brought Big
Musical Events Here.

One OF the organizations which is
doing much for the city is the Grand
Forks Oratorio society. 1t was this
society which made possible the
splendid auditorium on North Fifth
street which, not only became the
home OF musical festivals. but put
Grand Forks definitely on the map
as the convention city"
The society was organized in 1907.
1t was formed for the purpose of
conducting an annual May music
festival. The first festival was held
in the opera house that year, the Sec
ond in Jacks auditorium in 1908, and
the third in the auditorium, which
was completed just in time for the
event. Since then the society has
brought many big musical organiza-
tions to Grand Forks, the last COM

AGRICULTURE FORMS THE
BACKBONE OF PROSPERITY

!. North Dakota has long been rec
ognized as one Of the leading agricul-
tural states Of the United States. AT
the present time North Dakota Is one
OF the four foremost states in this in
dustry and year by year is increasing
Its prestige along this line.
North Dakota is one Of the fastest
growing states in the union-the last
census giving her a net gain of sos
per cent. Although there are many
reasons that can be attributed to this
rapid development, the one forem ost,
and conceded by everyone residing
within its vast domain, is agriculture
During the fall Of 1916 a total acre
age of 926,00O was sown for the 1917
crop. an increase in the total acreage
sown of 100000. Inasmuch as this
Is a great increase over previous
years, there is but one result to con-

HOTEL FREDERICK IS
WELL KNOWN PLACE

Since Fred Bartholomew took
charge Of the Frederick hotel eight
years ago it has become one Of the
most popular and successful hotels in
the northwest. Since he purchased
the place, Mr.. Bartholomew has ex-
pended $4,000 in making improve
ments, in building an annex OF 40
rooms and otherwise bettering the
place. This summer he contemplates
building another addition.
Aside from its splendid cafe, the
Frederick has a cafeteria, the first
to be installed in a hotel in the United
States. and a ladies' tea room. 1t
also has rooms for private dinners
and banquets, many of which are
held regularly at the place.
By conducting several clever ad-
vertising campaigns. such as becom-
ing a candidate for congress and
touring every section Of the district
and in disseminating special litera-
ture. the Frederick has become, one
of the best known hotels in the
northwest.
Mr.. Bartholomew is sole proprietor
of the place and Harry Butler is
MANAGER.

The Hotel Dacotah, which was
founded in 1889 by j. n. Bacon, pres

was burned on December II, 1897.
and the present hotel was opened
December 1S. 1898. 1t has accom-
modations for approximately 300
guests and is popular as convention
headquarters.
Recently number Of improve
ments, such as the addition Of new
bath rooms and the re-decorating of
rooms and halls, were made. Other
improvement work now is going on
and when completed the Dacotah will
be one of the most thoroughly equip
ped in the northwest
The Sunday evening dinners are a
popular feature of the hotel. They
have added an ever-EEowinE clientele
