lington, stated he believed 100000
bushels Of potatoes would be raised
in Northwestern North Dakota this
year. He would like to see halt a
cent bushel deducted from the re-
ceipts of the man who sells his crop,
to be used in advertising the Mouse
river potatoes. He would print small
pamphlets and place one in each sack
to inform the customer where the po-
tatoeS were grown.
J. I. Porter, we'll known Berthold
grower, strongly urged the private
pit system for storing potatoes. He
says potatoes should be grown about
3 inches deep. He advocates blind cul-
tivation.
W. j., Roberts, owner of the large
potato warehouse at Berthold, ex-
planned the plans Of his building.
II. A. KluVer Of the First State
Bank Of Burlington, told an interest
ing story Of how the Burlington po-
tato warehouse was erected. The
businessmen must get back of the
proposition, he says. He urges
growers to go into the business on a
small scale at first as a matter of
education. He believed that the sue
cessful way to market the crop is to

N. D. German, of the N. D. Agri-
cultural College, says the committee
is still investigating the marketing
difficulties and hopes to get action
so the growers will be paid for what
they shipped. He urges state in
spection of potatoes.
H. l.. Finke declared that when
the list Of the crooked commission
merchants is complete, it will be given
to the newspapers for publication
Halvor L. Halvorson, who has taken
much interest in the forming of the

Major Person Bought Dairy Cows For
Ward County Farmers

Major f. S. Person, president of
the Union National Bank, returned
Friday from points in Wisconsin
where he bought twenty high grade
Guernsey cattle for farmers in Ward
County, some of them going to farm
ers in this vicinity and others as far
up the 500 as Foxholm. The Major
represented a number of banks which
are financing the purchase Of these
cows for their customers. A number
of car loads of cows will undoubtedly
be purchased for the farmers Of the
county in the near future.
The Major states that the dairy
farmers of Wisconsin do not know
what hard times mean. They are re-
herds even at present prices. Buyers
from practically every state in the
Union visit Wisconsin to purchase
dairy cows of the various breeds. He
met buyer from Connecticut who
was buying his tenth car to ship east.
One dairyman in Wisconsin town
whom the Major met, is shipping
$500 quarts Of Guernsey milk to
Chicago daily, receiving 16 2/3 cents
quart F. O. B. his station, the buy
er paying the expense of bottling the
milk.
The Wisconsin land where he visit
ed does not appear to be nearly as
rich as our North Dakota SOIL We
raised fully as good crop Of corn here
as they did in that part of Wisconsin
last year and our oats were better
While they grow fine clover there,
we have our sweet clover and other
crops and the Major states that there
is no reason on earth why we have not
as fine dairy country as they have
in Wisconsin.
