WOOD FARMS "LITTLE'
PATCH WHEN NOT BUSY
LINING UP LEAGUERS

Howard R. Wood of Deering, who is
slated for the speakership, confesses
that he is farmer "in small way"
When not employed in rounding up
leaguers and talking Equity, Mr.. Wood
looks after a ''patch" of seven quarter
sections Of his own, and in addition
leases quarter or so. Of late years
he has been working gradually into
diversified farming. planting more and
more meadow each season to tame
grass and adding to his stock of pure
bred cattle. He believes that it is much
safer to grow into diversified farming
than it is to jump into it. 1t costs a
lot of money, he points out, to change
from wheat to stock all at once, but if
the change comes gradually not a
great amount of money is tied UP in
any one year, and when the transfer
is made solid foundation has been
laid for diversified faUning.
F. B. Wood homesteaded the place in
Ward county in 1900. His family has
owned and worked it ever since, add
ing to it quarter or SO at time.
Now the Wood farm is'one of the best
in the northwestern section Of the
state, and the "boys" are justly proud
of it.

abdomen just below the appendix. His
son. who was with him at the time, as
sisted his father to theihouse and a doc
tor was summoned. A Minot nurse was
secured and for time it was believed
that the man was on the way to recov-
cry, when he grew much worse and was
hrot to this city for an operation, which
failed to save his life
Oscar Able was one of the most pro-
gressive farmers of the Berthold dis
trict and popular with everybody. His
death is a severe blow, not only to the
members Of his family but to hundreds
Of friends as well.
The remains were shipped to Berthold
Wednesday and the funeral was held
this afternoon, interment being made in
the BerthOld cemetery.
