P!ONE!:R PAPER OF THE COUHTY.

•u!nl-t:liiss matter
The harvest in this part of North
iJakota is in full blast. Judging by
the development of the heads and
the filling of the kernels of the grain
that has been cut, Emmons county
will harvest its largest crop sinca
the country was settled. We say
"its largest crop" for the reason
that the area is larger but, as to
yield per acre, there have been sev
eral years when the crop yield was
as large as that of the present sea
son. ll is usual to speak of a hot
day or a cold day as the hottest or
the coldest that one has ever experi
enced, tha speaker forgetting the
other hot and cold^days of the long
ago and remembering only the pres
ent. 1
he fact is, however, that the
present crop is equal in yield per
acre to any that the county has pro
duced, unless it he the year 1891,
when the crop was of an equally im
mense yield throughout the entire
county. l!ut the crop of that year,
was of no more help to the people of
the count as a whole than a smaller
one woiid have been for there were
not enough thrashing-machines to
do the work. Then, as an addition
al trouble, the snow came early and
remained all winter. Probably half
thi' grain remained in stack unti
spring. Then, when the farmers be-,
gan lo thrash, they found that the
gram was thoroughly soaked and of
no commercial value. There was
no value at all to such grain be
yond what was necessary for feed
and there were thousands of bushels
more than the stock could consume.
Most of the stacks were not thrashed
at all, and in many instances, after
a few hours' run, the grain was
dumped on the ground and the ma
chine pulled away. Wheat that
would have been No. 1 Hard or No.
.1 Northern could it have been
thrashed the preceding fall was giv
en away for hog feed or sold for a
few cents per bushel. There is little
danger, however, of the misfortune
of lSill being repeated this year, as
the country now has a sufficient
number of machines to do the work
in a short time, and as the harvest
farther south is ahead of this region,
and as a consequence the thashing
is done sooner, in a pinch machines
from the earlier regions could be
brought here if there was a bigger
crop than the home machines could
handle.
And the people of the Missouri
Slope not only have cause to be
''.'thankful because of the big yield,
but because they have finally come
to appreciate the value of this re
gion as a dairy country. Without
the figures at hand, it is hard to
give tlie actual output of butter-fat
in Emmons county during the past
year lint dealers inform us that it
lias more than doubled during the
two years last passed. An estimate
of tin number of cans shipped per
day, on an average, from the vari
ous railway stations of the county,
gives a total of not far from HALb
A MILLION DOLLARS, not count
ing the cream made into butter in
side of the borders of the county.
And when a farmer stops to con
sider that the earning of this large
sum does not in the least interfere
with the production of live stock
and grain, and that so profitable an
industry as the prodution of butter
fat will certainly increase every
year, he must thank his stars that
he has held on to his farm, and still
more tirmly resolve that, come good
or evil days, lie will not under any
consideration part with his home.
It would seem that Divine'Provi
dence is providing ways and means
for eventually placing the people of
this region in a comfortable and in
dependent condition. Not only have
they ascertained that "there's mon
ey in good milchjcows," but the two
poor crop-years, 1910-1911, have
shown them that there is another
crop {that seems to be sure every
year for a "nice little bunch of
cash." We refer to the raising of
winter rye. Surely a crop that last
year and the year before would
yield a dozen bushels or more to the
acre is immune against the hot
winds that usually come, when they
come at ail, in late June or early
July, at which time the rye crop is
either in shock or too much matured
for great, injury by such winds.
And, if you will consider these
things, does it not appear to you
that your land is worth much more
than the present price put upon it?
And do you know of an agricultural
region where the prospects are bet
ter than they are right here in Em
mons county?
Another Slope pioneer publisher
who recently completed a year in
the more than a quarter of a century
thai has passed since his paper was
founded is Frank Bryant, of the Na
poleon Homestead. The Record
missed the Homestead containing
the announcement, but found refer
ence to it in another exchange. The
Hryants, father and son, are among
those of the early settlers who trom
the.' first had firm faith in the future
of North Dakota, even in the days
when you could buy a cow for from
ten to fifteen dollars, and it was
necessary to haul wheat fifty miles
to market and sometimes sell it for
less than forty cents a bushel when
traveling stockbuyers were never
seen, and when horse-flesh was a
drug in the market. The old gentle
man founded the paper and after
ward sold it ouc to his son, who at
that tune was not many years re
mo\i".l from the knee-breeches and
stubbed-toe period of his existence,
and the then youthful chap has con
ducted it continuously since. It is
a good paper, mechanically and in a
literary way. Frank has been for-1
tunate having had during several
years the assistance of Bert McEl
roy, one of the best printers in the
state. Ami, in addition, there is
young Donald McElroy, who, report
says, is following in the footsteps of
his dad, and whose work for several
years outside of school hours has
already made the lad a good com
positor. That Frank, Bert and—
last but not least -young Donald
may live long and prosper is the
heartfelt wish of the Record folks.
Editor Wood's paper, the Steele
Ozone, recently completed its twen
ty-seventh year of publication, and
its twentieth year under the tall
Kentuckian's management. Mr.
Wood has stuck by Kidder county
during the lean years and the fat
ones and he deserves the increased
prosperity and comfort that, with
the others of his early fellow-set
tlers, have come with later years.
Editor Wood is an able writer and
the. Ozone is an ably-edited news
paper.
American pride has again received
a considerable boost by the success
of the American athletes in the
Olympic games at Stockholm, Swe
den. They were away ahead in the
total of sports in which they took
part there being several items on
the program covering contests which
are practically unknown to Ameri
can athletes. Out of a total of
eighteen nations.who made marks,
representatives of the 11. S. made
12S points, with Sweden 10.S, Great
Hrittain Ci, Finland 'l'!, Germany 45,
Fiance Italy l: Canada and
so on down the list. In the track
and field meets, which comprise the
usual styles of sports in this country,
the I). S. stood at s.r and the next
competitor was Finland with 27,
Great lbitain II, etc.
Deatli of a Pioneer Lady.
This community was profoundly
startled when word came that Mrs.
J. H. Brock had died in Bismarck
Thursday forenoon of last week.
The remains were taken to Hazel
ton, and there the funeral took pace
last Thursday at 2 o'clock p. m. The
service took place in the Presbyter
ian church, in which a large congre
gation who wished to pay their last
respects to the departed were seated.
Blanche Cornelia Palmer was born
in Dixmont, Maine, sixty years ago
next September. On May 16, 1878,
she was married to Jerome B.
Brock. The young couple resided
in Brighton. Massachusetts, until
April, l.SSI, when they came to
North Dakota, settling a few miles
routh of Williamsport, this county.
There they resided many years,
when they left the farm and came
to live in the suburbs of Linton.
About two years ago they went to
the Pacific coast, making their home
at Gridley, California. A few weeks
ago they returned to Emmons coun
ty to visit their friends and old-time
neighbors
Mrs. Brock's near surviving rela
tives are her husband and a sister,
Mrs. George Waterbury, of Spring
dale, Conneticut.
It has been the writer's duty to
chronicle the death of many of the
pioneers, but he does not remember
of the passing away of any one of
them who was more generally
mourned than is the good woman
who has just been called. Well
the writer remembers the deceased
lady and her good husband in their
early days. They were always fore
most in making the social gather
ings of those days successful, and
the latch-string of their hospitable
home always hung on the outside.
Good neighbors and loyal friends,
they had not an enemy in the com
munity, and everybody wished them
well.
The heart of every one who knew
Mr. and Mrs. Brock is filled with
sympathy for the bereaved husband.
The relations between the husband
and wife were more than usually
close. Having no children on whom
to center their love, they centered it
on one another, and we know of no
couple in the county to whom the
Angel of Death could bring a greater
bereavement than to the survivor in
this instance. Among old-timers
and among comparatively recent
comers could be heard on the day of
the funeral and since, "1 feel sorry
for "Romey," as Mr. Brock is
known to ail his old neighbors.
The pioneers are rapidly passing.
A few more years and they will live
only in memorv. And, among them
all. around none will cling sweeter
and dearer memories than those of
the good wife, the kind neighbor
and the true friend whom an All
wise Ruler has just called to her
heavenly home.

a Profitable
Purchase
ITH prices of farm produce a
present profitable point r.o f:
afford to let any part of his corn cr
the
f:u:::t r:in
go to waste, especially when there is an -r^y
way to save it.
An IH Corn Binder
Decraf, McComick, Milwaukee or Osborne
furnishes the easy way. By cuttir.s: the
as fast as a team can walk and delivenn^
bound and ready for the shock, an
binder puts you in a position to harvest a r:
acre corn field in a week. The corn can 1
cut just at the time when the ears In ^in
glaze—when the stalks and lcaws are ni- -t
nutritious as fodder. When this is done ti
full value of the corn is secured. Then, if t!
whole crop is hauled to the barn and
through an IH busker and shredder Deer
ing, McCormkk or Piano—you
have harvested
your corn crop at the least possible expense for
time and labor, and have on hand a goodly
supply of palatable, nutritious corn stover for
the winter feeding of your stock. The corn
stover can be used largely in place of hay,
enabling you to bale part or all of your hay,
and sell it at good prices.
A I binder is a good machine to
own. See the IHC local dealer and have him
tell you the rest of the story. You can get
catalogues and full information from him, or
