APPLE CREEK
LAKE PROJECT
Is DISCUSSED
R0herty Explains Plans to
kiwanis Members-McKin-
non Tells of Roads

Benefits which would be gained
by damming Apple Greek near Fort
Lincoln to make lake were discussed
At klwanis meeting today by j. l..
Roherty.
If the creek were damned Just be-
low the Apple Greek bridge, it would
make lake approximately two miles
long, ranging in depth from 10 to IL
feet at the southern end to three to
four feet at the northern end, just
below the South 500 tracks, Roherty
said. 1t would have approximately
five miles of shoreline, he said.
Steep hills rise on both sides of
the projected lake, so that there
would be no muddy flats in case the
water might recede a little, he de-
clared and pointed out that q small
hill rising in the center Of the creek
flat would make an admirable island
IT the lake were created. The total
cost Of the project would be close to
$4,000, he said.
Sand and gravel abound in the hills
on both sides Of the flats, and likely
by removing the subsoil, sand and
gravel beaches tIuld be made before
the water was let in. Eroded areas
south of the lake would make an ex-
ccllent park, and there is plenty Of
land for a zoo. camp grounds and
other recreation spots, he declared.
Hatchery Possible
Possibility that q fish hatchery
might be placed on the lake il il
were created was expressed by
Roherty. who said that he has been
assured by the state game and fish
commission that such ! project would
be put through.
There is . draw ct the northern
end Of the proposed project through
which surplus water might be sent,
thus helping to irrigate the bottom
lards. or else It might run over :
spillway, he said.
Comparing the proposed project
with ned Lake ct burnsted, Roherty
showed that the drainage ares Of the

Editorial Comment
Development Effort Successful
Fargo Foruml

North Dakota's organized effort to hasten THAI
development which is certain to come to the state
when more farmers are tilling fewer acres more
intensvely than is possible with the large acreage
that it's farmers arc handling, is meeting with
gratifying success.
Mr.. c. f. Daniclson president of the Greater
North Dakota association, the organization which
has undertaken the task Of Fastening the states
development took the occasion to point out the
which is attending the ORGANIZATIONS efforts
at the annual meeting of the board Of directors,
held at Valley City.
It is a fact, we'll known to all residents Of North
Dakota who have made study Of the situation,
that there farmers in every section of the state
who making exceptional in their farm
ing business. Almost invariably these are the men
who have large share of their farms planted to
forage crops and equipped to handle livestock.
Many producers Of dairy products, poultry, hogs,
beef and sheep have found that these farm products
have been proft-makers, largely because they have
brought comparatively high prices, while building
up their farm land.
Farm economists see opportunity to expand the
production Of most cf these products with the
probability that they will continue to bring good
prices particularly on the cheap lands and under
the favorable soil and climatic conditions of North
Dakota.
The Greater North Dakota association has been
carrying 1n1OrmatlOn ABOUT these NOrtn UakOta
opportunities to tenant farmers in other states
where conditions are not nearly as favorable as
they are here. This campaign has been carried on
extensively and ntensively It is beginning to get
results. Farm lands are moving.
The effects Of this movement will undoubtedly
be cumulative, rolling up ever increasing volume
