5000 ACRES OF POTATOES
ARE PLANTED AT BERTHOLD

The Betrhold potato growers are
planting 5000 acres of potatoes this
year. They will continue to plant DO
tatoes until June 10. A million bush
els OF potatoes were grown at Bert
hold last year but rs per cent of the
crop was lost by the early freeze.
Notwithstanding this loss, the Bert
hold growers shipped out 100000
worth OF potatoes during the winter
and spring and kept enough for seed.
An average crop is considered 200
bushels per acre, tho potatoes in that
vicinity have been known to 20 to
$50 bushels per acre.
Everybody in Berthold and vicinity
has the fever. Chas. Stevenson, old
time banker has calloused hands from
cutting seed potatoes. He had plant
ed 60 acres to potatoes using $4,000
worth Of seed. w. j. Roberts, the
Berthold Potato King, has $50 acres
of potatoes this year. He sold $780,
600 worth of potatoes in the spring
from $500 to $4.60 per bushel. Most
of the potatoes are grown within four
miles of Borthold, Roach siding or
Lone Tree. 1t does not pay every
year to raise potatoes too far from
market. There are few 40 acre
tracts raised outside the four mile
limit but not many. The Berthold
potato growers have put in more wheat
than usual this year and it all looks
fine. The potatoes leave the ground
in perfect condition for wheat seed
ing.
North Dakota is just getting fairly
started as potato growing state.
Our state is goth on the list as DO
tato growing states, Notwithstanding
the fact that the best potatoes in the
United States are grown here. There
is one county in Maine, Aristook, that
raises more potatoes than any one
state in the Union so there is little
danger of our Cutting the potato
market.
Mr.. Stevenson says that the farmers
DO not market their potatoes on the
cooperative plan. They wait for the
buyers to appear and then sell to
the best advantage. There are fire.
quently from twelve to fifteen buyers.
at Berthold at the same time, fire.
quently receiving so cents bushel
more than at other points.

NORMAN BLACK BUYS THE
MINOT DAILY NEWS
; Fargo Publisher Here Today to Close
the Deal-Exreets to Take Pos
session Within Few Days

Norman B. Black, publisher of the
Fargo Forum, is here today closing
the transaction whereby he becomes
the principal owner of the Minot
Daily News, published for years by
w. NJ. Smart and c. A. johnson. Mr.
Black informs the Independent that
the deal was practically closed today
and the negotiations are to he COM
pleted Friday afternoon. The new
owners will be in possession of the
plant June /.
Mr.. Black informs the Independent
that the plant will devote it's time ex.
clusively to publishing daily news
paper and he does not expect to con-
tinue commercial job printing.
Hal Davies, who has been manager
of the advertising department of the
paper under the new management,
and will own stock in the concern:
Mr.. Black promises to give Minot
the kind of daily newspaper that
this city demands and while he has
not announced definite plans the peo-
pie of the Northwest may rest as
sured that the Daily News under the
new management will give the COM
plete Associated Press reports. There
Is q good field for one wide-awake
daily newspaper in Minot. Mr.. Black
has made big success publishing
the Fargo Forum and if the new man
agement does as we'll by Minot this
city will have no cause to regret the
change.
Norman Black is a man of very
pleasing personality, a newspaperman
who knows his business and the only
regret the people of Minot will have,
is that he does not come here to live
among US.
Mr.. Black states that arrangements
will be made as soon as possible for
larger quarters as the improvements
he plans will require far more room.
It will take little time to put the
plant into shape to give Minot the kind
Of q paper that Mr.. Black hopes to
publish.
Mr.. Smart, one of the retiring pub
fishers Of the Daily News, has many
interests in the city and could keep
occupied for the full "a hours each
day without .devoting any of his time
to newspaper work. c. A. johnson,
the other retiring publisher, will spend
some time in regaining his health,
which has been failing for some time
Before entering the newspaper field,
Mr.. Johnson conducted law office
