GOOD FARMING
We think the bankers who are in
terested in the future growth and
prosperity of the western part of
North Dakota, the business men,
whose prosperity is inseparably link
ed with that of the fanners, the agri
cultural college 3taff. whose knowl
edge should enabl'? them to carry the
message of plenty and prosperity to
the farmers, and the press, which is
always a potent factor in develop
ment, should unite in preaching the
doctrine of corn, cattle and hogs.
Small grain farming, in whatever
section, it is exclusively practised, is
uncertain. In some years there are
abnormal profits. In other yeara
there are short crops. The customs
and practices which go with small
grain farming are not productive of
good farmers. Fields get dirty. There
is little rotation of crops. Soil is
plowed to little depth or not plowed
at all. drain is seeded in on stubble.
Everything is to a large extent trust
ed to chance.
The raising of corn means well cul-
tivated 3oil. The earth is thoroughly
nulverlzed and broken. The fields are
i1n better shape for the crop next. year,
and proper rotation may be practised
with every chance for success instead
of a large chance for crop failure.
The big cattle ranges are gone. The
raising of feed and the stocking of
farms with good cattle means steady
and sure profit. Beef will be high be
cause the area for its production is
limited.
We think it a mistake for the press
and those who should be the teachers
of farming to lay too much stress
upon the quick profits of small grain
farming. The farmer and the new
settler should learn the lesson that
the old settler has learned—that the
way to prosperity is slow and steady,
with plenty of hard work, and needs
an intelligent understanding of aver
age conditions. We need to urge the
production of more dairy cattle, more
poultry and eggs, more butter, beef
and the like.
We need to take this country, not
THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY
Grand Forks Herald:
Within the past few days people
have been discussing the possibility
of another senatorial contest in the
fall. It is suggested that while Sena
tor McCumber has a plurality of the
votes cast he may possibly not have
the forty per cent required by the law.
Some have wondered that the two
extra candidates for the long term,
Hannifin and Midtbo, might not have
secured enough votes to deprive Mc
Cumber of his required Per0®0*?*5
In that case the names of McCumber
and Marshall, the two highest candi
dates, would be placed on the rail
election ballot, and the voters would
tackle the proposition again in the
fall There is little or no prospect of
this. In all probability the total vote
cast for the long term will run Just
aUttle over 50.000. If it were exact*
60,000, Mr. McCumber, to be noininat
would need 20,000. He has more
S an tiLt many on the returns now
There WW
reaaon to
Satle is nominated wUhoutrecourse
£tbe fall election. Tlw fecondjote
senator is an absurdity, anyway,
2d rtSSd nerer have beenincorpor
ated to tfce hv. That provision, ra-
ther than one for the direct vote at
large between candidates of the
various parties was placed in the law
through the insistence of those who
claimed to see in the latter something
.disastrous to party organization. As
& a a
a
provi-
sion, when it is employed, is ten fold
more disastrous to organization senti
ment than the other would be. Into a
contest between the parties, while it
is in full swing, it injects a contest
within the party itself. Nothing much
more disastrous to party organization
could well have been devised.
Now if the Herald will admit what
it probably believes in its heart to
be true, that the whole primary sena
torial vote—especially at the time of
the choice of candidates for state of
fice—is wholly confusing, disturbing
and disorganizing, it will be a case of
open confession that is so often
good for the soul.
South Dakota people are like North
Dakota people—full of confidence in
the state and not to be discouraged
by an "off year" in crops. The Aber
deen News says:
A remarkable feature of the year
is the fact that nobody in South Da
kota is worrying very much over the
crop situation, even though it is now
admitted that a shortage is inevit
able. "There is a reason." South
Dakotans have faith in their state.
They have proven it, and it has never
been found wanting They know that
a partial failure is so rare, and big
crops are so usual, that one dry sum
mer does not spell failure, or any
thing near it. Most farmers have a
comfortable balance in the banks.
They can get through the dry season
with but slight discomfort and no
suffering. That they are not disposed
to worry over the situation is shown
by the fact that the attendance at
llinglings' circus at Aberdeen on
July 4 was the largest in years, ac
cording to the circus men's own fig
ures. And people do not attend cir
cuses when they fear really hard
times. Instead, they hoard their
money for possible necessities.
The Fargo News says "Doc" Pur
cell was "injected into the United
States senate by appointment." "In
jected" is good.
GRAND
a
Hogs ure not. difficult to raise. They
are prolific of offspring. The price of
them will not greatly decrease in the
future. Armour, the big packer, pre
dicts $S to $9 as about the normal
price for hogs. And we may see $10
hogs again in the not distance future.
Farmers this year have disposed of
hogs that brought t$:'.r. to $r0. There
is money in that.

the famous Pant ages circuit. We
wish them the great success that

Clever Conkey, club manipulator

Miss Olivette Corn well, the new

very heartily received last night.
She has a very sweet soprano voice,
which she handles in a most artistic

best shows of the season.
FARM PAPERS ARE
BOOSTING FOR FAIR
The North Dakota Farmer, Prof. E.
F. Ladd's agricultural paper, has the
following boost for the state fair:
The North Dakota state fair is to
be held at Fargo on the fair grounds
July 25-30. It is to be hoped that as
many farmers as possible interested
in advanced agriculture in the state
will make it a point to be present
a
at its best or at its worst, but at its at this fair. The opportunities for
average. So taken and treated, the
North Dakota farmer of the western
part of the state has a steady income,
a valuable farm, and a future of com
fort and competence.
gathering information of educational
character, which should be helpful to
all the farmers of the state, are great
and should not be neglected by those
who would keep abreast of the best
that there is in agriculture.
Every farmer who has exceptionally
good farm products, grains, vegeta
bles, etc., should make it a point to
have them exhibited and the best
animals of the state should be ex
hibited. There are fine buildings and
good equipment on the grounds for
caring for all. It i3 the only meeting
of the year that should draw the
farmers together, when their irfflu
ence should be made felt in the
growth and development of the state
so as to keep out all fake shows and
influences which are demoralizing
rather than upbuilding for the fair.
The dairy industry of the state is
but just beginning to develop, and
every effort should be made to make
this a strong feature of the fair. For
encouragement in this direction, in
addition to the prizes that are given
by the stated a solid silver cup has
been offered by the Minneapolis Trib
une for the highest scoring creamery
butter to be shown at the exhibit.

JAMESTOWN ALERT HAS
SOME JUDGE FIGURES
Jamestown Alert: Judge Ellsworth
has returns from fourteen counties
of the state on the judicial election.
The returns on this election are slow
to be made known, as the interest in
the counting of the votes seemed to
center on the senatorial and congress
ional candidates and the state officers.
The returns indicate that Judge Ells
worth will be fourth on the ticket,
and possibly third. There were ten
candidates, and several of them Bhow
wide variations of the vote. Some
candidates run well in certain coun
ties and not in others. The fourteen
counties from which Judge Ellsworth
has reports are Burleigh, Barnes,
Benson, Cass, Griggs, Logan, Morton,
Montrail, Ransom, Stutsman, Traill,
Ward, McKenzie and Billings. The
canvas of the votes occurs July 7,
after which a full and complete
knowledge of the wishes of the vot
ers will be known.
The following figures from thirty
one counties out of forty-five in the
state are given:

R. R. COMMISSION
MEETING AT AN END
The final session of the meeting of
North Dakota state railroad commis
sion was held this morning in the
court room at the Cass county court
house.
A complaint was registered from
the citizens of Overly on the rate on
table water from Glenwood Springs
and other points outside the state.
The protest states that table water
from outside the state is rated as
third class, while ciders and charged
waters are listed in the fourth class.
The people of Overly complain as
being discriminated against, and ap
peal to the commission to look care
fully into the matter.
Loading Platforms Wanted
Several items recently filed with
the commission were taken under
discussion, and a petition signed by
seventy-five residents of the village of
Underwood, was presented by C. E.
Paul of that place, who appeared in
person before the board.
Urfderwood, in McLean county, de
sires the Soo railroad to erect a load
ing platform at that place as the
amount of incoming and outgoing
freight tonnage warrants the build
ing of a grain platform. A resolution
was adopted by the commission de
claring a platform necessary and or
dering the immediate erection of the
same.
A similar petition was read from
the village of Templeton, located on
the Northern Pacific, in Emmons coun
ty, but the matter is still pending,
awaiting an investigation to deter
mine whether or not the amount of
business done at that village warrants
the construction of a loading plat
form. Templeton has also petitioned
for a station and agent, the granting
of which is likewise a debatable mat
ter. According to the statutes govern
ing the establishment of stations, the
incoming freight business must
amount to $4,000 and the outgoing to
$15,000 per annum. It is not believed
that Templeton does that amount of
business in a year, and an investiga
tion will follow.
At Palermo a grain loading plat
form is needed for the purpose of load
ing grain directly from wagons into
the cars for shipment, and a petition
was presented this morning to the
commission for the establishment of
such a platform.
A complaint was read from the
business men of Churchs Ferry, locat
ed on the Great Northern, which stat
ed that the railroad grading at that
place was blocking the drainage sys
tem of the village, and that the road
officials had declined to take any ac
tion toward improvements when their
attention was called to the matter.
The commission directed a communi
cation to the Great Northern officials
calling their attention to the difficulty
and requesting that the grading be
immediately remedied.
