The history Of agriculture in the
prairie northwest is being repeated
in Mahnomen county where most
of the farms belonged to the In
dams and were just raw land a
dozen years ago. The first farm
ers on new prairie land are gener
ally grain farmers, and more often
perhaps than otherwise they are
one-crop farmers. With all their
eggs in a single basket, losses and
hardships are bound to come. In
years of crop failure the settlers
turn quite naturally to a gradually
diversified system of. farming in
which livestock production plays q
prominent part. ----~~.s =. 49, <@-5
A recent survey made by G. G.
Worsham and others of the farm
management division of the de.
partment of agriculture of the
state university shows that this is
just what is happening in Mahno-
men county. This survey, made
in 1918 and 1919, discloses the
sources of the farm receipts of 1873
records of farm business taken in
Mahnomen county. Mr.. Worsham,
in this connection, says:
I'm 1918 an average of 81 farms
studied in Muhnomen county re-
ceived So, 1870 from 189 acres in.
crops, or an average Of 81 % per
acre planted to crops. In 1919 on
"a farms there were 1913 acres in
crops which brought in total Of
ST. 1904, or an average of $500 per
acre. In the excellent crop year
of 1918 the receipts from crops
amounted to II per cent of the
total cash receipts, but in 1919,
the poorest year, crops we're only
so per cent of the cash receipts.
Farmers in Mahnomen county
did practically no work off of their
farms in 1918, earning only $50,
or 2 per cent of the entire cash
receipts from this source. During
1919 when crops were poor the
farmers earned an average of .$253
from outside sources, which was 10
per cent of the cash receipts of that
year. These figures show ten
dency on the part of the farmers
to stay at home and work their
farms when crops are good. When.
crops are light the farmers not
only have more time for other
than farm work, but unless they
have saved some cash or can Sc
cure credit at the bank they must
work outside to get money with
which to help meet the many ex-
penses of the farm" -. ...s#

AS there is no funds appropri-
ated this year with which to de.
fray the expenses Of the celebra-
ton, all must help in any way
they are able. Solisitors will call
on all for donation of some kind,
either money or food-stuffs, and
all should make great effort to
donate something, as only in this
way can the success of the cele.
bration be assured. The execu
tive committee is already in COM
munlcation with several attractions
seeking concessions here during
the celebration and the present
indications are that the celebration
this year will equal if not <surpass
all previous occasions. All that is
needed is the cooperation of all
members of the reservation to
make the celebration a success,
and it is hoped that the committees
appointed to look after the pro-
gram will not be found wanting,
but will do all in their power to
bring the big celebration this year.

The executive. committee was
very careful this year in selecting
the different committees, and en-
deavored to select men and women
who would act and do their utmost
to make that feature of the cele'
bration with which they were
charged a success. Great difficulty
has been experienced in the past
in getting those selected to take
charge of the many different
features Of the celebration to take
an active part in order to assure
It's success. In many INSTANCES
there have been those who would
rather sit back and let George d.,
lit'', thereby hindering the success
of the celebration and placing a
double responsibility on those who
were endeavoring to do their part.
The executive committee is de
termined to bring the celebration
this year to q successful conclusion
| and all those who were selected to
make up the different committees
should lose no time in making their
preparations to make that part OF
