The "Grand Hotel", Minot, has
one Of the finest lobbies in the
Northwest. The rooms are all
good.
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Nelson of Wo-
burn stopped in Bowbells for a short
time last Monday while on their
way to Kenmare and paid this office
very pleasant call. Mr.. Nelson
resides in a community where there
is plenty of hay each year whether
anything else is raised or not, and
this year when other farmers are
having difficulty in getting enough
hay with which to keep their live
stock over winter Mr.. Nelson has
quite a large quantity of this pro-
duct to sell. Those wanting to
purchase hay should communicate
with Mr.. Nelson.
- j. D. Lucy drove in from his
ranch last Monday to look after
some business matters and get some
supplies, and was caught in a snow
storm here the following day. We
learn that Mr.. Lucy this year har-
vested the largest crop of wheat to
be raised by any farmer in Burke
county this year, and that it will
take him most of the winter to haul
it to market. He each year puts
in a large acreage, and we are told
that none of his wheat went less
than Is bushels to the acre and
some of it as high as 80. In all
he has several thousands of BUSH
els of wheat in his granaries. The
wheat raising business is only a
side line with Mr.. Lucy. He de-
votes most of his time and energy
to the raising Of live stock, and this
will no doubt bring him even larg-
er returns than the wheat will this
season. He is one of the pioneers
Of the hills country and knows well
how to pull the money out of the
hills soil.
!. w. A. Sheldon and Donald Stew
art Of near Woburn while in the
city Monday told The Tribune that
while they presumed that the gov
ernment understood it's business and
knew what it was doing in the army
draft line, they thought that the
country would be some better off II
more discharges were granted by
the district board to actual farmers
who had spent all of their lifetime
at farm work. owned horses and
farm equipment, and everything ne
cessary to cultivate the land. They
stated that from the present. looks
Of things there would be number
of pieces of valuable land between
here and Woburn that would have
to lie idle next year on account OF
those who worked 1t being drafted
into service, and that If others are
drafted there would be even more
idle land. Both gentlemen are
about as patriotic as 1t is possible to
find, and when. 1t comes to produc'
ing food for the armies Of this
country and those Of our allies they
believe that every possible acre Of
land should be cultivated.

CORN IS EXPENSIVE;
FEED STOCK WHEAT

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 1s.-Be-
cause corn costs North Dakota
stockmen more than wheat, they
are feeding the latter to stock, and
just so much of the staff of life is
not available for domestic con-
sumption, declares M. P. Johnson,
president 20 the North Dakota
Equity society, who is here attend
ing a meeting Of the railway COM
mission.
"Corn in my section OF the state
sells for $2.18," said Mr.. Johnson,
"and the best we can get for our
wheat is 81. AS a result the stock
men can pee no advantage in ex-
changing good bushel of wheat
for less than bushel of corn, and
because of this fact the very end at
which the regulation Of the wheat
market was aimed is being defeat
ed. This not true in only a few
cases, but the feeding Of wheat has
oecome a general practice in the
northeastern part o: the state where
there Ia practically no forage or
roughage.'" ---.s@.
Should Regulate Price
The remedy, in Mr.. Johnson's
estimation, is simple. He doesn't
ask a higher price for wheat, re-
garding that matter closed. He
does feel that the price of corn
should be reduced. "There Is GER
tainly no justice in compelling a
North Dakota farmer who at the
best will not average more than Is
to 16 bushels of wheat to the acre
to accept 50 the bushel, when the
Iowa. Kansas, Illinois and Missouri
corn-grower. who can raise 40 to
SO bushels to the acre, is allowed
$2.18, or any higher price which he
can command." said Mr.. johnson
''There Ia no comparison in the
value Of the two crops for food pur-
poses. If corn is worth 50 Is,
wheat is easily worth $4.36, on the
basis of food value If wheat is
worth 1920 at Chicago, corn GER
tainly is not worth more than 81.
Thousands of farmers. tenants and
renters In the corn belt are getting
rich off this one seasons crop OF
corn. / am glad they are, but it is
not fair to US, nor to the nation at
large, to compel us to feed to cattle
and hogs the 81 wheat which cannot
be saved for human consumption
because the price of coin is away
out of our reach
Getting IN Hay
Commissioner johnson, who was
instrumenfal:4n gaining relief for
sections of the ste to in which "a for
age famine exists by purchasing
large quantities of wild hay in Min.
nesota and obtaining a cut of SO
per cent In the freight rates on this
commodity. advises that eight tc
ten cars are leaving Goodrich
Mimi. for North Dakota points
This hay is costing $18 per ton bal
ed and delivered on the cars at
Goodrich. Commissioner johnson
anticipates a drop in this price as
Minnesota farmers complete their
fall plowing and find time to turn
their attention to getting in hay
It must be reduced very materially
however, If North Dakota stock is
to be kept over the winter. "By
April /, at these prices" said Mr.
johnson, IAN average steer will
have consumed $50 in hay alone;
corn is out of the gu stion, and into
that steer will have gone enough
good hard northern wheat to main
tain the average family for year
