The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-10-07

DR.. Don McMahan has now spent
nearly a week in Montana investigat-
ing conditions for purchase in the
range territory and reports as fol-
lows:
Feed is plentiful and sheep scarce
this fall, consequently very few ranch
ers are offering any breeding stock
for sale. Sheep men sold themselves
short year ago, due to the severe
drought and feed shortage. This has
been a very poor lamb season, SO per
cent lamb crop or less was the rule
conditions are largely responsible for
the scarcity Of breeding stock. Each
year, of course, brings on certain
percentage of "broken mouthed" ewes
which must be disposed of. Ranchers,
however, are asking $500 around for
80 lb. "broken mouths" which can be
purchased on the market at from 81
to 81 per cwt.
There is noticeable tendency among
ranchers to dispose of holding of so
called "black faces" medium wooded
heep Responsibility for this is large
ly due to the high price of fine grades
of wool and the discrimination against
medium grades, altho there are other
contributing factors. Black faced
ewes are being offered, consequently,
where any offers are being made. Here
again, however, ranchers are asking
more than the market. Most of them
are pricing such ewes weighing about
100 lbs. at $1,000 a head and in some
cases as high as $1,000 for stuff
which can be picked up in the market
for from $6 IN tn 81 20 ner cWt

WARD COUNTY CORN AND
POTATO SHOW OCT. 13-14-15-16

The second annual Ward County
Corn and Potato Show will be held in
the State Armory at Minot, October
13, IA, Is and 16. The work of COL
Letting exhibits has been going on for
some time and indications are that
Ward county will stage the largest
Corn and Potato Show held in the
state this year.
Since the Corn and Potato Show last
November, the farmers have been
looking forward to the opportunity of
exhibiting some of their produce this
year and have made preparations to
enter good exhibits. The corn acreage
this year, which will insure a large
number of excellent exhibits,
The drouth during the latter part ct
the season retarded the growth Of po-
tatoes, but in spite of the dry weather
there are some excellent potatoes rails
ed in the county.
One of the features Of the Show is
the Community exhibits. About ten
communities over the county are TAX
ing an active interest in collecting a
suitable exhibit to represent their
community. There promises to be
considerable competition, as good
deal of rivalry has been manifested
among the different communities.
There will be one hundred bushels Of
potatoes given away by lot. Farmers
who attend the show. will draw a num-
Der and two of the numbers will rep
resent fifty bushels Of potatoes each.
The object of this is to interest two
more farmers in growing potatoes on
commercial basis.
No farmer having over one acre of
potatoes will be allowed to draw and
the two farmers receiving the pota-
toes will have to agree to plant them
and cultivate them according to the
proper methods Of cultivation.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
IMPORTANT ORGANIZATIONS

The most important organizations
in the country are the Boys and Girls
Clubs. The hope and advancement of
agriculture lies in their hands and be-
yond this they are to become the most
important factor in guiding the des-
TIMES of our Nation. The object of
these Boys and Girls Clubs is, to de-
velop efficient men and women, and to
interest them in the work of the farm
and home and the industries upon
which the Nation depends.
1t seems at times that too much
emphasis is placed upon the growing

Shropshire ewes and bucks are priced
very reasonable and are offered for
sale in liberal numbers in sections
where such stock has been used. Good
bucks of these breeds, registered and
in good condition, can be purchased
at $4,000 to $500 per head and ewes
at $500 to $4,000. Of course, trans,
portation would be high unless as
many as a carload could be bought,
as they would have to be Grated and
shipped by express.
Unless DR.. McMahan finds tfrri-
tory where the ranchers offer their
surplus breeding stock at more nearly
current market levels, advice to farm
!ers should be to stay out of the range
territory this season and purchase
rather on the, market, South st. Paul
being highly recommended.

"If the world had adopted the laws OF

tuberculosis, cancer, diphtheria and other
diseases and epidemics which destroy so
MANY persons. Now they talk Of tuber-

Sometimes we forget that we live and
maintain ourselves from the Bible-the
most remarkable book which has ever
existed or now exists. We could easily
get along without all the books in the
world, but never without the sources OF
life, the Bible. There we find true and
inspired poetry. In the Bible. history IS

surely the greatest poets OF the world
"In the dark night when one is tor

consolation than that which one finds
in Isaiah and Jeremiah and in many 9TH

be written on religion; read the prophets.
All the sufferings of humanity are to be
found in them, and consolation which
lightens the burdens of the heart Re-
markable-we all live and maintain our
selves by the Bible, and yet we despise
the people who gave us that Book OF

We know what strength they possess,
and we are afraid lest they conquer us,
and then perhaps we shall be oppressed
by them"
