Ui to within, the last two or three
years corn raising has been cotrfineVi to
the southern tier of counties and the'
south end of the Missouri slope, but
now fine corn is found from Washburn
east to Grand Forks. The Iowa and
Missouri farmers who have flocked into
McLean, Mercer and Oliver Counties
in the past two years are producing a?
good corn as they grew in their old
homes and have done much to encour
age its growth among the old timers
in those sections who strove only aft
er wheat and cattle, with the result that
the counties named produced large
crops of this graiji this year. In that
sectiori most of the corn is at present
of the white and yellow, flint varieties.
with a fair sprinkling of northwestern
or "smoky" dent and yellow dent. In
Burleigh, Emmons and Morton Coun
ties dent varieties predominate, white,
yellow and red dividing the acreage,
though a great deal of flint corn of
tract- an improved sqtiaw corn of eight, twelve
and sixteen rows. In these latter coun
ties narly every farmer has from forty
to 100 acres of corn which runs from
forty-five to fifty-five bushels per acre,
shelled. The entire crop is consumed
on the farms in feeding hogs and stock
and the profits are just beginning to be
realized by those who have heretofore
depended upon prairie grass for pre
paring stock for market. In Emmons

County hog raising has become a staple
industry and corn finished cattle are
making the farmers rich at a rapid rate.
As yet little corn is raised in Logan
and Mcintosh Counties, the cattle in
terests predominating over the agricul
tural pursuits. This is not because of
the non-fertility of the soil but because
the rich grasses tempt the settlers into
this "easier line of industry^
In LaMoure County wheat is 'still
king,'but excellent corn 1$ produced
there and its growth is rapidly increas
ing as realization comes of its profits
and benefits.
For years the farmers of Dickey
County tried exclusive wheat -faffciiiig
to their impoverishment. The soil,thefe
is more sandy than further north and
the old varieties of vheat are not cer
tain crops, though macarqni wheat, now
does splendidly and is being patl).er,ex
tensively sown. Thousands of cattle
are raised here annually and with them
has come a large and steady increase
in corn culture, until, now it is one of
the best com counties in the state. Al
most every variety is grown, with yields
from thirty-five to sixty bushels per
acre, according to the care given jt.
Many of the farmers are finishing cat-
tie on ground corn and millet seed with
results that are astonishing in returns
at selling points. Hog raising in this
and the adjoining counties of Sargent
and Richland is rapidly increasing with
results apparent in the large and- well
appointed farm buildings and thrifty
towns and cities.
Sargent and Ransom Counties have
had somewhat the same experience of
Dickey as to exclusive wheat growing
succeeded by corn. Ransom County
has produced some of the best white
and yellow dent in the state this year
and her blooded cattle are noted all
over. In this county macaroni wheat
has been raised with great success for
a number of years and here the agita
tion in favor of this graih had its birth
•with the result that farmers in all sec
tions of the state are now growiiig it.
It may not be amiss to mention a
case showing the phenomenal yield of
macaroni wheat when given good care
and cultivation and using,precautions to
preveni mixing with otj^r wheats. E.
Billings, a farmer residing in LisbQn,
had 500 acres of this grain iri crop this
year. His average yield was twenty-
I seven and three-fourths bushels per
acre and he is selling the grain for seed
at 75 cents a bushel, it being absolute--.
ly pure macaroni wheat grown from
seed imported from Russia and grown
by him for several years* He had*
twenty-nine acres of this wheat on land
used for corn the year before and from
this piece he threshed fifty-three and
one-fourth bushels per acre. The bal
ance of his land was made up of fall
and spring plowing, and a large part
disced land. He threshed each pieice
separately and found practically no dif
ference in yield between his two kinds
of plowed land, but the yield on the
disced land was much less, which ac
counts for the small general average.
Many other farmers in that cpunty re
port macaroni yields running from
thirty to forty-five bushels per acre on
land that had been grown to this wh^at
for a number of years. This would
seem to controvert the statement that
has been made by opponents x£ the
wheat that in course of -time the yield
would .jIkqpjdpw.n.tvQ .iJtjevsarfl&Jgyne as
fife and bluestem. In Lisbon macaroni
wheat sells for 12 cents below No- 1
northern, so notwithstanding the hankie
cap in price, there is larger margin
of profit in macaroni wheat than in the"

if ifoitrteen to sixteen inches in length are
shown in the real estate offices and the
cribs are overflowing with it.
Cass County and TraHl have^large
areas in corn annually, some of the
fields covering I pop and 2,000 acres,
arid nearly every fafnrhavrhg from ten
to fifty acres.
Corn has certainly cpme to be a leadr
ing crop in North Dakota Bu^: as yet
the farmers have scarcely learned how
ito properly cultivate it. In- rBiany in
stances it is planted after the spring
jwork.-has' been done and then only for
fodder. Wrong methods of .cultivation
are common and in comparatively few
instances are returns wfiat they should
^^flbe. In the Missouri slope dountry the
•stalks are short and the difficulty Of
cari-og fop the crop deters tn&ny from
going into it. as it has to be picked by
hand. Careful selection of seed and cul
tivation is resulting in raishtg the ears
on the stalk and increasi'ng tbei'" size
so that undoubtedly in a few years the
western counties of the state will lead
ih corn production, in fact it is a ques
tion if, all things^ considered, they do
not lead now:

There is no I'Otager any question of'
the adaptability of the state for corn
raising, and that fact being established,
it is but a matter of time before North
Dakota will take her place among the
great corn states of the west..
RANSOM COUNTY IS FIRST.
Ransom County Commissioners Vole $100 to
Irrigation Movement.
£&l>On, ft E& Nov. la^Tbe county
commissioners ol Ransom County have
the honor to be the first among the
counties of the state, to resfiond to the
request of the executive committee of
the North Dakota Irrigation Congress
to vote an appropriation towards the
expenses which will be incurred in the
preparation of statistics, publication Of
a patnphlet for presentation to the de
partment at Washington and' distributed
among officials interested and ^members'
of congress.
The commissioners, at their meeting
held here yesterday, voted unanimously
to appropriate the sum of $100 for the
use of the irrigation congress of the
state. This is certainly a good,.example
and there is no doubt but that other
counties will fall in line at the earliest
meetings of the county boards. People
here are generally endorsing the action
of the officials as it is believed that the
object in view is a ju^t and righteous
one.

P. O. Officials About Rural ,,
Delivery Routes. ...
,Xi!^alfttjiEtOn, Nov, 12.—Noi^W-'J&kota
has only thirty-four rural free delivery
routes, or seventeen for each congress
man. There are 12,000 routes in the
country, or an average of thirty for
each congressman. This" point was
made to the postmaster general and his
fourth assistant today by Representa
tive -Burleigh F. Spalding of North Da
kota, who wants to have the number of
routes in his state increased. Since the
100-family regulation went into effcct,
little has been done in the rural free
deiivery line in any of the western
states. Population is so widely separ
ated, by ranches and big farms, that it
is out of the question for any carrier
to serve 100 families on any one route.
Mr. Spalding hopes that his visit to the
postoffige department will soon bear
fruit. He made a good point in his dis
cussion with the postmaster general and
that officer promised to take it up with
tlie fourth assistant at once. Mtr. Spald
ing holds that the TOO-famify ,tule is
all right: for thickly settled farm com
munities, where the average of five
in a family holds £ood. But on the
big farms and ranches of the west
and this is especially the case in the
Dakotas and Montana—there are from.
fifteen to twenty-five farm hands in
addition t6 tl^e average of five in a
family, making the total number to
be served on a 100-family route great
ly excess of the number to be sim
ilarly served in the more heavily set
tled small farpi sections farther east-
Mr. Payne listened with interest to Mr.
•Spalding arid liis promise to take the
point up with Mr. Bristow may lead
soon to a modification of the 100-fam
ily rule for states like North Dakota.
In addition to the thirty-four routes
already established, North Dakota has
applications pending for almost a hun
dred more, and all of these latter have
been held up since the removal of
Superintendent Machen. When Mach
en was in authority, it was easy to
secure rural routes in the west. All
that was necessary was an affidavit to
the effect that the number to be served
would be as great as the number
served on the 100-family routes, of tlie
east. ,The applications were*«»then in
dorsed and the service instituted. Of
course, yth^ actual number of .families
per route in cases of this sort was
4s close to 100 as possible, the Aver
age bdng from 75 to 85. It has teen
.Mr. Bristol's policy to .-construe the
100-family "rule" literally, which has
practical lyfshut off new roiutes in,' the
northwest, and, indeed, in the entire
country beyond the Missouri.
"Meanwhile if the' people of 'tht west
were wondering who is to blame tor
the lack of new routes ,they must look
to the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral, with whorri congressmen have
,D^en able to do very little business of
