We really realize that the wheat stage
OF the country is changing to the
raising Of a diversity Of farm prod
ucts. And we do find farmers, who
are practicing those methods, actually
producing more and better crops to
the acre than under the old system,
which, leads us to believe that it is
directly beneficial to the country.
Farms are being improved and fenc-
ed. Where run down and delapidated
buildings were, paint and improve
ments are being used to improve their
appearance. .Atho temporary farm
ing prices may not be satisfactory
to the producer we find that he is
still maintaining his property and
gradually making improvements. By
not depending entirely on wheat for
his income he is still making prog
ress.
When, in retrospect, we look back
over period of years, we cannot help
but realize that our country has made
progress, that the advance has been
natural and steady and that conditions
have improved fundamentally so that
we may look forward to the future
with the expectation of the steady
growth and improvement continuing.

We drive over paved streets, where
as, we used to slush thru muddy thor

muddy and Shiny water. We now
have we'll drained and sanitary streets
and streets graded and paved so that
the public truly enjoys their use.
We wonder at times how these things
| were true and did exist for such a
length of time, without correction. M
doubt it was the growing away from
the pioneer stage Of every young town
in young country and the natural
growth of the city in the country's
development that corrected them.
The same thing is true of the sur
rounding farming territory. Travel

LOCAL LEADERSHIP

President J. R. Howard of the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation, in
speaking at the Decennial Celebration,
DeKalb, ILL.,, stated, "Local leadership
is everywhere needed, and everywhere
dormant in the minds and hearts of
our people. The Farm Bureau has no
more important work than the de-
velopment Of this latent local leader
ship"
The North Dakota Farm Bureau has
recommended that the County Farm
Bureaus divide their counties into
communities, appoint community
chairmen and community committees
and work out community programs.
No more important work can be done
by the County Farm Bureaus, as it
sets to work group Of men and wo-
men in the community to act as lead
ers for the upbuilding Of their COM
munity.
President Howard also states in the
same address, Community service is
first and last the ideal Of the Farm
Bureau. It cannot be achieved with
out the full cooperation Of the en-
tire community and the full play of
intelligent local leadership"
The very strength Of the Farm Bu-
reau depends upon the development of
the community spirit, community
leaders and the whole hearted, united
work Of all the members in the COM
munity for it's upbuilding. Respon-
sibility for this rests upon each in
dividual Farm Bureau member. The
development Of local leadership comes
naturally in communities where ev-
eryone helps to make the work sue
cess.
The strength Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation is the total
strength Of the State, County and
community Farm Bureau organiza-
tions. No matter how capable
leadership we have in the American
Farm Bureau Federation, it would be
impotent in its results without large,
enthusiastic, working membership.

first, thirteen elk coming from Yel-
lowstone National Park in March,
| 1917, and four white tail deer from
the State Agricultural College in May
of the same year.
In 1918 the City of Portland, Ore
gon, presented six bison to the &c
ernment and these were brought to
the Park in October, 1918. The bison
have increased to eleven head and
the elk and deer to approximately
fifty head, this, of course, being sim
ply an estimate as the elk and deer
rarely come out of the timber MAX
ing an accurate count impossible.
To provide conveniences for visitors
and at the same time preserve the
| principal tract in it's wild state plot
| of about thirty acres was fenced off
inside the larger tract and fitted up
for picnic and parking purposes
Camping conveniences, including tab
les, stoves and running water have
been provided. The feminine visitors
of next year will be delighted to find
that strictly modern Hostess House
has been erected for their conven-
ience. A beautifully designed build
ing harmonizing with the surround
ings and completely modern is now
under construction. It is expected that
the furnishings will be provided by
the Club Women Of the different cities
around the park and they are to have
the use of the building for meetings
The water system deserves special
mention. A large storage tank, fill
ed from natural spring, has been
placed back in the hills and approxi-
| mately sixty feet above the level of
the picnic grounds and gravity does
the rest. Filtered spring water is
yours by simply turning the tap.
In addition to the Hostess House
many other improvements are under
construction. The original thirty
acre tract is being enlarged to ta
in Swetwater Lake, a beautiful little
lake close to the picnic grounds and
heretofore inaccessible owing to its
location in the game preserve. The
plans contemplate improving the bath
ing beach on the shore Of Devils LAX:

central gathering point and market

central gathering point and market
for large territory surrounding US.
Fortunately, we are situated more
favorably than any city in the ST
in regard to summer enjoyment. We
have the Lake, Lakewood Park and
Chautauqua. The Lake affords us
pleasures that most cities would give
a great amount to possess. We have
access to bathing, boating, hunting
and other pleasures at any time we
desire them. The beautiful natural
surroundings easily accessible to us
are found in very few places.
Our farming country, in soil fertil-
ity, climatic conditions and produc-
tion is as good as can be found. With
proper farming methods, we can con-
tinue to make farming profitable a.
maintain the soil qualities. All ag'
cultural countries go thru certain
stages Of growth and changes. One
thing seems to be truism, namely
that when new countries that have
continually raised wheat until such
period arrives that it cannot be
raised at profit, gradually drift into
producing a diversity of products,
SO that, they can still subsist and,
in nearly all cases, improve their con-
ditions by not having to depend en-
tirely on one product to create their
surplus of wealth.
Going out thru our farming coun-
try we see no impoverished farms,
none that are abandoned. We find
fields well titled and much better
farming methods being practised thar
we saw several years ago. We find
farmers rotating crops, and not
planting wheat year after year as
was practiced until recent years. We
see herds of cattle grazing on har-
vestered fields cleaning up the shelled
grain and the foul forage of weeds
and volunteer grains and manuring
these fields. We see many fields OF
sweet clover and other forage crops
that place back in the land needed
qualities that have continually been
taken from it for many years past

SULLY'S HILL NATIONAL
PARK
By Kiwanian A. E. Wheeler

Sully's Hill National Park, named
in memory Of General Alfred H. Sui
ly, and comprising approximately
eight hundred acres, is situated on
the southern shore of Devils Lake
about one mile east of Fort Totten.
In 1906 Congress, for the preserva-
ton of American Antiquities, granted
the President power to declare by
public proclamation historic, land
marks to be national monuments.
About eight hundred acres surround
ing Sully's Hill, that famous old land
mark of pioneer days, were selected
and declared to be national monu-
ment. Unfortunately no appropria-
ton was provided looking to the i'm
provement of the site and nothing
further was done until 1914 when
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
improvement Of a game preserve in
Sully's Hill National Park. In these
days of high prices it may be of in
terest to note what the Secretary Of
Agriculture was authorized to do with
that $4,000:
"The Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to inclose the said park
with good and substantial fence, to
construct thereon all sheds, buildings
and corrals necessary for the proper
care and maintenance Of the animals
and birds therein, to erect suitable
headquarters, to construct and main
tain roads, trails and other struc-
lures necessary for the convenience Of
visitors, and to incur such other ex-
penses as may be necessary for the
proper maintenance of the preserve
and the animals and birds placed
therein. The Secretary of Agricul-
ture is also authorized to place in the
park buffaloes, elk, deer, and such
other wild or rare animals and birds
as he may in his discretion decide"
Under the able direction of Mr..
Ollie, the Park Superintendent, the
grounds have since been developed in
to one of the most attractive spots
IN the State. The original tract was
fenced with a stout woven wire fence
seven feet four inches high and steps
taken to obtain the bison, elk and
deer. The elk and deer were procured

but this probably cannot be reached

out this PROBABLY cannot be reached
this year.
A new entrance is being made
about one hundred yards south of the
old entrance. The visitors of next
year will enter the Park by way OF
two large ornamental iron gates sup
ported by massive built-up pillars of
native boulders thence along a fifty
foot driveway to the central parking
grounds. Most Of the readers will be
surprised to learn that up to TIN
year the average number of visitors
numbered close to nine thousand per
year but thus far in 1922 only eight
thousand have entered the park. The
officials in charge explain the falin.
off by pointing out the terrible condi-
tion Of the roads leading to the par.:
entrance.
Up to this year little, if any, con-
certed effort has been made to pro-
vide decent road to the park, espe-
cially from the City of Devils Lake,
but the Highway Commission has
taken charge Of that portion of the
road from the City limits to the Ben
son County line and it is expected
that by fall that portion of the road
at least will be in excellent condition,
and steps have been taken, pushed by
all civic and municipal organizations
Of Ramsey and Benson Counties, to
have the Federal Government, in JUS
tice to the park, construct a suitable
highway across the reservation. If
this is done Sully's Hill National Park
will be accessible from all directions
and the superintendent believes that
the number of visitors will materially
increase.
While all of these preparations are
being made to attract the tourist it
is yet interesting to note that once he
enters the gates the proud motorist
must enjoy its beauties in the good
old fashioned way, or at least, give
way to the hiker, for one of the rules
reads as follows:
"Visitors on foot have right of
way and cars are not going to
move to their detriment."
Lest some timid soul, apprehensive
of this strain on his legs forego the
pleasures of visiting this historic spot,
it should be stated that the parking
space is almost exactly in the centre
of the picnic grounds so you will not
be forced to carry your picnic re.
quirements more than very few
yards. Sweetwater Lake is but two
hundred yards away and it is but
short walk around the lake and up
to the hill tops from which it is
sometimes possible to see the bison
! elk or deer
/ In the past two weeks the writer
has asked exactly fifteen people what
they knew about Sully's Hill Nationa
Park. Four had been there this year
two visited the grounds two or three
years ago, and exactly nine had neve,
been there at all-didnt know how
to get there-and didn't expect t,
see much if they did. For the benefit
of others who may not be familia,

Highway, now in fairly good condi.
tion, to point approximately one
mile east of Fort Totten, where yor

you are.
