Young, who has had his fin ger on Bismarck's pulse for a good many years, believes the city is on the verge of the heaviest land move ment this region has known since the boom days of 1905-1906. Not only is there an erceptional local demand for land, but queries are coining in from Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas to a greater extent than has been known in the last decade. It is anticipated that as soon as spring plowing and seeding is finish ed in these states, there will be an influx of land-seekers into North Da kota. "The promise of big prices and big crops gives everyone reason to feel prosperous.'' said Mr. Young today. "Flax now is selling at $3, and there's not much chance of its be ing worth less than $2 when this sea son's crop is harvested. And flax is one of the surest crops we have. A lot of buyers will pay for their land with flax this year. The fact that Kansas and Nebraska winter wheat is an almost complete failure, and that Argentine isn't doing any shipping, will mean big prices for wheat. There's none left over from last year's small crop, and the mar ket will have to have its ^rheat by the time this year's crop is harvested. There'll be an unusually large acre age, too, of, for^, bats, barley and rye, and we'll hkve more cattle and hogs to sell we have ever had before." f) Raw land te telling fast at $25 and $30, some sales going at $35.

Hellstrom patent "Never-Rot" fence post, the McCare Sales company, which has establish ed offices in the 'First National BaDk building, also has brought Bismarck an Industry which may develop re markable proportions. The Bismarck foundry has been working day and night casting the molds which are the salable portion under the patent rights of the Hellstrom fence post. The posts may be molded by the farmer on his own place, at a cost of 14 to 16 cents per post. The molds are patented, and can be had only from the McCare Sales company or its agents. The company has sold the entire state of South Dakota through a gen eral agency established there, and has, commissioned 1-" local agents in North Dakota. The demand for the fence post is large, and the Bismarck foundry anticipates a necessity for a substantial increase to its plant in the tear future. The Company. The McCare Sales company is in corporated for $15,000, by Louis H. Carufel. head of the Bismarck IMarble and Granite works, as president, and J. 'H. McNary as vice president and general manager.
