Published every Friday at Wash

Entered at the Postoftice at Washburn, N.
as Second Class Matter.
The "farmers' delegation that
went to Washington to protest
against the reciprocity agreement
is the laughing stock of the state
says an exchange. They were led
by the editor of an agricultural pa
per and there was not a real farmer
among them.
The Palladium at Bismark came
to the conclusion that because a
man was seen "ambling down the
street carrying a most comprehen
sive jag" that he was "gloriously
drunk." That is no safe conclusion
to make after reading the Cow
an trial.
The raising of small frnitiB can
be tucoessfnily done in the Mercer
district. Gooseberries only half
grown measure 15 inches in cir
cumference. Rhubarb have never
been as large as reported in sev
eral localities.: This.is a prosper
ous year all aroudd and there is
great rejoicing.
North Dakota is a good place to
live in after all. In Colon, Pana
ma, wher* the climate is said to be
the best, the mosquitos plague is
now interferijjH&pith sooial
and intorup^ tp»ve
fer^eis wbffe "tbfr'twrtiefcpauts
rush for lotions. In Connecticut
there are said to be 22 varieties
mosquitos. They have not arrive*
here but when they do they wil
likely be all of the one variety, at
least they will all bite alike.
The different commercial clubs
in the state have taken up the mat
ter of farmers' institutes sinpe no
appropriations were *made at the
last session to carry on this work.
Funds are being raised in several
cities and public spirited men
are to be commended for their in
terest in this matter. These men
realize the importance of farming
interests, for without prosperous
farmers there can be no growing

Every preparation is being made
to accommodate the visitors in
Washburn next week. Many
prominent attorneys, wittnesses,
jurymen and visitors will attend
the trial of an ex-state officer
which commences next week. The
new Washburn hotel is ready for
the visitors and every home in the
city has made known its willing
ness to help care for the overflow.
It means something to a city this
size to be able to accommodate the
number that are said will be here.
It will advertise Washburn to
show these visitors what can be
done in a wide-awake little city.
Join the boosters, work and wear
a smile for the "visitors.
North Dakota is famous as a ce
real state and bids fair to gain a
reputation even in growing corn,
has produced more flax than any
other state. However, farming
is yet in its infancy. There remain
thousands of aores of good, tillable
and to be brought under cultiva
tion. What the state needs is more
arming of the better class, such as
many of the best farmers are now
practicing. The census bureau
credits us with about 600,000 pop
ation, so there is room in its 71,
000 square miles for many people.
This state is making a strong bid
or many new settlers. Of the mil
ion or more immigrants coming to
the United States in 1910 only
about 50,COO ever reach the agri
cultural districts. Perhaps a third
of the total number of immigrants
were originally farmers or farm
laborers, and it seems unfortunate
that so many of these are, through
force of circumstances, compelled
to remain in the crowded cities of
the east. This, if nothing else,
should be an incentive to encourage
by all available means the drift of
surplus population to these western
pr&iffcs. Every spoken or written
word should lend encouragement to
direot immigration to thif section.

The school house is now finish,

the many eager little ones looking
for knowledge, who have been de
prived of an education on account
of having to go so far to school.
Another heavy rain fell all last
Thursday afternoon and put the
ground in fine shape. The wheat
which was pounded into the ground
during the hailstorm a week ago is
looking better than ever before.
Farmers have now almost complet
ed their spring work.
