Character of North Dakota People.


After all is said and done it is not land, wealth
or numbers, but rather the type and character of
a people, that best determines the right of that
people for their "place in the sum-" Measured by
that standard North Dakota has nothing to fear.
She can face the future erect, self-poised and un
afraid.
Of the states total population $4,000 were
born in this country. Of this number 305,00c
were born in North Dakota. AS to the early pio-
neer settlers the middle West contributed $4,000;
the New England states 5000; the eastern states
5000 and the southern states 1000. Each sent
of the best they had Regarding the character
and type of the foreign population, the British
Isles and her colonies contributed 5000; the
Scandinavian races $4,000; Germans and Rus
slams of German strain $4,000; Holland, Belgium
and France 1,4OO. In all North Dakota there
isn't enough scum from humanitys melting pot
to make typical, pioneer village. North Da-
: kotas citizenry is as sound as her No. Hard
wheat, and as clean as the air they breathe
Fortunate, indeed, was it for North Dakota,
and for all generations to come, that the very
early pioneers brought with them deep and
abiding faith in the great fundamental principles
of law, order, society, home, church and school.
sUpon these, as the firm foundation, they erected
the superstructure of the new state. Because of
that fact North Dakota is today above every
thing else, state of law, order, homes, churches
and schools - -, San . ...Etfisiti III ~

duction of 157 lbs. to the hive. which was the
highest of any state in the Union. Why this
rapid development in production and quality?
The answer is, acres and acres of sweet clover;
the long, warm sunshiny days and the short
for bee work, and the short, cool nights prepici-
tating in largest quantity, the nectar in che
clover blossoms.

A Coming Corn State.

North Dakota produced 100000 bushels of
corn in 1919 and 35,O0O,O0O in 1928 1t is safe
to say that within fifteen years North Dakota
will grow to be one of the great corn producing
states Of this country.
North Dakota leads all states in the production
of No l Hard wheat, flax and winter rye; it is
second in barley and third in oats.

DiversificatiOn Under Way.

Under intelligent Investigation the farmers of
North Dakota will no longer have all their eggs
in one basket. They will continue to produce, but
more consistently, the states great output in al!
grain production. The acreage will be much less
but each acre will bring more dollars because
more bushels. All grain will be better in quail
ity; dockage reduced to the lowest level and the
soils fertility conserved.
In 1917 North Dakota produced 900, 900 hogs.
The production for 1924 was $4,000.
North Dakota is producing as good mich
COW AS New York, Wisconsin or Minnesota and,
population considered, doing it more rapidly In
1918 the value of dairy products was $4,000 900:
in 1924 it was S39,OOO,O0O
North Dakota can and is producing as good a
steer, hog, horse, and sheep upon it's rich, low
level value land, and can round them up for mar
kct as cheaply, with it's corn, alfalfa, and sweet
clover, as can Iowa or Illinois upon their high
level value land.
North Dakota is soon to be one of the greatest
conservative estimate, $1,500,0OO worth of tur-
keys, and because of special quality they sold at
top prices in the markets of Chicago, Boston and
New York. In 1918 poultry products amounted
to $2,7l2,OOO; the estimated value of poultry
products in 1924 was $1O,500,000.
North Dakota is unsurpassed as great potato
and vegetable state, as to size variety and ease
of production The North Dakota potato is
eagerly sought Ny Eastern consumers and south
crn potato growers for seed. ~
North Dakota is one of the leading sweet clover
and alfalfa states, both for feed and seed
In 1918 the acreage in sweet clover and alfalfa
was $4,000; in 1924 it was 100000
North Dakota produces all of her agricultural
products with the seasons rainfall without irr-
cation, innoculation of soil, or single ounce of
fertilizer.

How Big Is North Dakota?

North Dakota is big state, having 10000
square miles of land-more acres of land than
New York, New jersey Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts combined, which states have a popula-
ton of 18,774,O0O North Dakota has popula-
ton of 100000.
Lands considered as untillablc in North Da-
kota would be regarded in New England, eastern
and southern states agricultural land of high
quality. Many foreign countries would rejoice
and deem themselves rich in possessing the land
which we in North Dakota regard as waste and
unproductive territory.
North Dakota has 45,Ooo,OOO acres of arabic
land; enough good land to make a farm of 100
acres for 281 $50 home owners.
North Dakota has 29,O0O,O0O acres i'm farms.

Hurtful Misrepresentation.

Hurtful Misrepresentation regarding North
Dakota has gone out for years, through the press
Of the state east of US, until it has become Fixed
habit, since it was nobodys business to offset it
with the truth. There is no particular reason
why snowstorm in this state becomes a North
Dakota blizzard, rather than a Minnesota, New
York or New England blizzard, nor why a thur
der. shower accompanied by some wind, should be
Al North Dakota cyclone, rather than a Kansas,
Ohio, Missouri or Illinois tornado. AS 4 matter
of fact all the states in the same latitude east of
US to the Ohio River, have: more SNOW fall than
does North Dakota It is also true that Ahs0pen

forests, is far leSs liable to have destructive
storms, than is a state:with forest landscape

Russia Experimenting
 To Cut Foreign Cotton

Moscow, July 24 Pl-Russia IS now making extensive experiments in cotton growing In several districts of the Soviet Union. The use Of cotton in the soviet textile industry Is increasing greatly and the tnsuf- fciency of Russian-groWn cotton makes It necessary to spend large sums of money for the purchase Of cotton abroad, At present there are but a few areas in Turkestan and the Trans Caucasus which cultivate cotton, and attempts are now being made to raise cotton also in the ku- ban district where the climate IS specially adapted to 1t.
 New areas also have been selected ir the Turkestan and Fergana dls- trict where experiments on an eX- tensive scale are now being carried out Should the experiments prove satisfactory the Russian authorities hope they will be able to satisfy the country's need for cotton with out resorting to purchases abroad.
