I PROSPERITY STORIES How the Wealth of the State is Gathered In Truax Bros, Kermit farmers, have 2,100 acres of crop this season. Aug. Krueger, of Burlington, raised 125 bushels of potatoes from a half acre. M. L. Zorn reports 11 bushels of wheat and 29 bushels of oats as his average yield. His neigh bor, Caswell got 19 bushels of flax. Steve Voyten threshed 829 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from 70 acres 148 bushels of flax from ten acres, and 625 bushels of oats from 25 acres. Jacob Wise, northeast of this city, will locate in Kansas, and Tobias Provant will move to Michigan. Both of these farm ers "feathered their nests" in North Dakota and can afford to go anywhere they like. S. 0. McClure raised oats this year that went 65 bushels per acre. He made ever $2,000 last year from his farm and as much this season. Five years a TO Mr. McClure did not know any more about farming than a hog does about Latin. Mrs. U. Renner sold 45 turkeys to local butchers this week for 12 cents per pound, getting $48.65 for the lot. She will spend the money on a trip to California where she will visit this winter. The turkeys cost but a mere trifle to raise. Adam Blocker sold his fine half section farm north of this city to Moses Wise for $8,000 and will move to Camden, Ind., his old home. Mr. Wise is a young man who is making a fortune out of agriculture in this state. He came to this state a poor lad six or seven years ago and worked by the month on the farm. To day he owns a section of land. Wm. Sayers raised 11,000 bu. of grain on his DesLacs farm, or about 3,000 bushels more than he did last year, a good gain for an off year. He says he made more money than he did last year. He cropped 525 acres and his flax averaged from 14 to 20 bushels per acre. His threshing bill was over $1,000 and he in tends investing in a a small rig of his own next year. He intends to farm still more land next year. S. Anderson, one of Ward county's oldest settlers, left for the west where he and his wife will spend several months look ing up a location. Anderson says that during the 25 years he has lived in North Dakota, the old state has been good to him, and now he finds that he can afford to buy a home in the west, raise fruit and spend the rest of his days in luxury. North Dakota has put many a man on his feet. August Krueger, one of Berth old's wide awake farmers, in forms the Independent that he cleared over $1,400 this year, the first year he has lived in the state. "I came from Minnesota a year ago and made more here in one year than I did there in three. I bought a relinquish ment for $500, and my boys also have claims. I did all the work with the assistance of one son." A German farmer who bought a farm near Buffalo a year ago, for $29 an acre, paid for the quarter section with this season's crop and has a surplus of $2,282. He seeded the entire farm to barlev, harvested 55 bushels per acre, which lie sold for 88 cents per bushel. The farm cost him $4640, so he has made a good thing. There iH no country in the wcrld where the farmer has so good a show of making a good thing as North Dakota. It is not infrequent that land will pay for itself in a single season. Chas. Tatman, a prosperous Lynch farmer has sold his per sonal property and will go to West Point, III, with his family to spend the winter with his old father and mother whom he has rr iiMLfep"*! •w ""•'I'- not seen for seventeen years. In conversation with an Independ ent reporter, Mr. Tatman said: I am not leaving North Dakota because I did not do well here, in fact, here is where I got my start. I landed here nine years ago with a nickle and a dime, and my family in the east. Now have a splendid half section of land nd a few thousand in the bank. I will keep my land in case I ever want to return to North Dakota." FOB SALE—Automobile, piano, farm iu Williams County, stock of merchan dise at Mmelia, N. D., and residence lot in Minot.
