Burning Mine
A considerable portion of Slope
county will be included in Roosevelt
National park, which will be western
North Dakota's chief attraction in
future years. This part of the Bad
Lands along the Little Missouri river
contains the only pine forest in North
Dakota. Fires have been kept out OF
that region and the trees have made
a wonderful growth the last few years.
Some of the trees are over q foot in
diameter.
Another attraction is the burning
coal mine, IL miles from Amidon. The
fire feeds on q 22-foot vein of Ignite
coal, which is believed to have been
burning for thousands Of years. The
mine was burning at its present rate
when discovered by the pioneers As
years ago. The tourists seldom try to
cook their food there as the fumes
are too hot and sulphurous for cook
ing purposes.
Fred White q Busy Man
Fred Whit, who came to Slope
county direct from England 80 years
ago, has served as clerk of court and
county judge eve since the county
was organized, nearly Is years ago.
MI. White does duty as justice Of the
peace and u. 8. commissioner, and
also finds time to officiate as county
chairman Of the Red Cross. There
were no physicians in Slope county at
the time OF the influenza epidemic
some years ago, and Mr.. White, who
had acquired some medical expert
ence in the old country, volunteered
to 60 out and do his bit for suffering
humanity. He personally took care
OF 300 sufferers without losing q single
case, and was commended by the
health department for his unselfish
efforts.
"Some of the people say we are not
growing fast enough In population In
these great open spaces" Judge White
said to q Bismarck Tribune reporter
Wednesday; "but they overlook the
fact that the population has grown
very substantially. Back In 1900 there
were only even qualified electors In
the II east townships Of Hettinger
county and the II east townships Of
Bowman county. There were ut that
time only three polling places In the
two counties. Now Amidon has 100
inhabitants-more than all Of Slope
county had 80 years ago."

Fewer June Eggs Laid
But Income Greater

Although they, laid fewer eggs In
June than they did In May, 4,106 hens
in 40 North Dakota farm flocks re-
turned an average income Of nearly
10 cents per hen greater in June than
in May, the records which were sum-
married. by o. M. Fuller, farm econ
omist of the agricultural college, show.
The hens laid IL eggs and returned
an average income of 27.3 cents over
feed cost in June, compared with la
eggs and 17.6 cents income over feed
in May.
The flockS from which this informa-
ton was secured are on farms which
are keeping business records in CO.
operation with the college. A greater
abundance of homegrown feed is be-
lieved responsible for the increased
average income per hen.

Amidon, Aug. 14.-F. A. Garfoot,
county agent, claimes that Slope
county, with 1000 acres in certified
Grimm alfalfa, has a larger acreage
Of that legume than any other county
IN the state.
Last year 10000 pounds of high
grade registered alfalfa seed was har-
vested. It has taken about 10 years
20 bring the growing alfalfa up to
It's present stage.
j. c. Stuber, residing In Cash town.
ship, has $50 acres in Grimm alfalfa,
and is the largest individual grower
N the county. Last year he cut 1000
sons of alfalfa hay, and used most of
t in feeding his 600 head of purebred
md grade HerefOrds and other stock.
Some of the outstanding growers Of
alfalfa and other seeds in Slope
county are j. j. Oberfoell, E. v. Har-
ris. j. G. Regain, Albert Homelvig and
Art w. Jacobson.
Cattle and Hog Raisers
Roen Brothers, whose Slope county
farm is located near Bowman, have
.aken the lead in raising registered
Hereford cattle. Range cattle are
still holding their own in the county,
some of the largest herds being owned
by A. w. Jacobson, Hanson Brothers,
J.. j. Hoeffley and Charles Balm. M.
c. McCaffery specializes in beef
Shorthorns.
The leaders in the dairy breeds OF
cattle are John Egley, Joe Flicker,
Albert LANCER, j. P. Holzeman, A. A.
Ware, O. w. Kitzman, Fred Stegner
and John Maxiner. H. w. Kovar has
a herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle.
Among the leading farmers who are
finding it profitable to raise hogs are
Lud. Olson, John and Albert Homel-
VOC and G. w. Lambourne. The
Durocs predominant, but there are
several herds of Poland Chinas.
Sheep are coming in for their
share Of attention il Slope county,
and some excellent flockS may be
seen on the farms of H. A. Stegner,
Arthur Hayden, o. G. Tabor and Sons,
j. E. Phelan and Christ Strommen.
Short on Railroads
Slope county is long on cattle trails
but short on railroads., there being
only seven miles of rails in the county,
Marmarth being the only town with
train connections. For this reason
the organized farmers have had to go
to New England, Scranton and Bow
man in neighboring counties to join
the cooperative association. There
are five postoffices in the county,
Marmarth being the only n On a
railroad.
Slope county had the distinction of
being the home of the famous H. T."
ranch. which was one of the largest in
the west. It has been partitioned in
recent years and is producing a better
class of stock. A herd of 1000 pure
bred Percheron horses may be seen
on one of the subdivisions.
County Agent GarfOot has laid a
great deal Of stress on summerfallow
to keep the fields clean and conserve
the moisture and fertility. AS a re-
suit, Slope county has comparatively
large acreage of grain on summerfal-

PROHIBITION IN
ENGLAND

According to a special story in the
Chicago Daily Ne1oS, carrying Lon
don EnglandD, dateline of october
8, Henry Ford has shocked British
ers by announcing that his factory
in Dagenham, in Essex, must be
absolutely dry. He demands that his
employees be teetotalers and pre-
diets: Great Britain is coming to
prohibition. You are doing it slowly,
but It's coming"
Even Ford executives here" con-
tinued the dispatch, were not pre-
pared for the pronouncement and
at first tried to explain Mr. .Fords
statement away as meaning merely
that the factory canteen would not
handle booze"
Mr.. Ford dispelled that Illusion
by saying that the men must not
drink at all.

Total all liquors

These latter figures represent only that
amount of liquor on which taxes were paid.
Much home made wine was produced in
1914, some home brew beer, and that there
was illicit distilling in that year is shown
from the internal revenue reports of illicit
stills and liquors seized.
THE comparison of possible production
in 1880 with tax paid Withdrawals III 1914
does not give a true picture of the situa-
ton For example, while there were only
52,418,430 gallons of wine withdrawn for
the payment of taxes, an estimate of the
possible production of wine in 1914, based
on the grape crop of that year. shows that
it was possible to have made about 140,-
100000 gallons Of wine in that year, and
undoubtedly the additional 88000000 gall
Ions were SO made into homemade wine"
declares the report.
However, leaving out of consideration
the fact that more liquor was consumed in
1914 than the internal revenue figures in
dictate. the bureau estimate Of possible pro-
duction in 1880 shows that only about 40
per cent as much liquor could have been
produced in 1880 as was withdrawn, tax
paid, in 1914.
Statements made from time to time
that the consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages is as great or greater today than prior
to the adoption Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment are unWarranted.'

LIQUOR CONSUMPTION

most of them selling after hours and to
minors and to drunken persons
Before prohibition there were 1854

Before prohibition there was an annual
average consumption of 1895 gallons of
liquor for every man, woman, and child to

CANADA AND LIQUOR

The population of the seven wet prov-
inces Of Canaoa is 9147.500, or about one
and onc-half times the population of Ohio.
In these provinces during 1929 the liquor
sold amounted to $192619, COB. Of the
5,152 liquor making and liquor-selling
agencies, only STA are owned and operated
by the government, and 4,578 are privately
owned.
The net debt of Canada last year was
$2,215 504, 7O5, and Ben Spence, the well
known dry leader of Canada, figures that
the annual payment of the liquor bill at
five per cent for eighteen years would
obliteratc Canadas huge debt.
