Barnes County Amazingly
Prolific Considering Unusual
Conditions Of This Season

That Barnes county is one Of the
Banner counties of the state, If not
the premier, is acknowledged by Wis
7tors from every part of North Dako-
ia who have recently seen what this
section can produce in the line OF
erops even under adverse conditions
and an unusual summer.
The Red river valley and other Sec
lions have good crops this year, but
fhe wear in and year out production
sf Barnes county is what amazes and
attracts attention from pioneers OF
the state who have known the lean
wears which have come to most parts
of the state.
Barnes county has nearly 100000
acres of land and about three quarters
of it is tillable. The acreage to crop
fhis year is above the average. The
cron is coming through in fine shape,
and unless a long rainy spell ensues
before it can be threshed the great
est money crop ever raised In the
county will reward the farmers. The
normal Weld of spring wheat for the
average season has been about 2,5OO,-
900 bushels. The increased acreage
fhis wear will make up for the short
weld of late sown grain and bring
The total up to the average. At the
comfortable price of at least 81 per
hushel the aggregate wealth OF the
wheat receipts will be one of the
agreeable surprises of dry season.
But the county does not now de-
mend upon wheat alone for revenue.
o,,,o11 arc grown as
easily every variety OF grass, corn ana
other fodder is produced IN apuno-
ance to care for the live stock which
has become a fixture on every well
regulated farm. u.
Recent inspection and estimates by
crop experts, progressive farmers,
sbrewd business men and land men
are that small grains will yield FER
bushel as follows:
Wheat from to Is bushels.
Oats from 10 to so bushels.
Farley from 10 to 40 bushels.
Flax from to II bushels.
Corn is coming along fine. but 1t is
foo early to estimate the yield in bush
els
From the few instances of where
fhreshing has been done the results
have agreeably surprised the farmers.
Barley is weighing as high as 81
pounds and oats as high as 40.
When we consider that there are
over 100000 productive acres in the
county, and that the prices of all farm
products are abnormally high, what
a stream of golden wealth will flow
back from the stream Of golden grain
going out Neither is grain all the
wealth producing resources OF the
banner county The live stock and
dairying. the diversified farming. and
varied industries are cooperating to
break all past records and make the
money receipts of former years ap-
pear like thirty cents in dining car.
The grand total money value OF tho
1917 crop of Barnes county will be so
enormous that it will be amazing. Not
vithstanding the task of taking care
Of this immense harvest the county IS
furnishing it's quota of the best SOL
diers in the world, valued even higher
than crops. The war is causing com
putations to be made in millions.
Barnes county is farming by millions.
With a farmer on every quarter sec
ton within a few years it may be bill
lions, ranking right up with congress.
Are we downhearted? Not in
Barnes county.
