This county ranks fifth in corn acreage and eleventh in population. Those in touch ith the possibilities see a great future ahead of the county in the dairy and live stock raising. With persistent effort this county production in) North farmers can be att Jo. of Commerce pre can be first in corn Dakota as soon as more good dairy racted here. These figures for the state peak volumes In 1917 there we 590,000 planted to corn with yield of 5,310,000 bu., and the value per acre of the crop wits $15.59 to $16.00 for wheat; in 1918 the acreage was 484,000 and the production 9,196,000 bu, with a value per acre of $24.70 as against"$27.61 for wheat Then in 1919 corn took the lead over wheat for per value. In that year there were 508,000 acres planted to corn and the yield was 16,764,000 bu., and the acre \ $46.20 as. agai 16.63 for wheat. « During the ears 1920 to 1922 corn planting increased but not as great is should be the case when its value over the wheat crop s taken into consideration.

Mr. Owens showed that for five years the average yield of wheat per acre was eight bushels or le The yield over this period in some of the counties was as, follows: Bur- leigh, 7 bushels; Sheridan, 6; McHenry, 6; Grant, 7; Stark, Corn yields over practically the same period were for the | ate an average of 23 bushels to the acre. With North akota once known as safe corn state, population will come and more wealth will be created to share the heavy ' tax burden that must be lessened or spread over a greater : number if progress is to be maintained. Organized effort such.as is being initiated by the Bis- | marck businessmen in cooperation with the farmer is neces- sary. dt is not enough to go out and tell the farmer how he can increase production. He must be assured a return on his investment; a good honest market and sufficient profits : to keep him on the*farm. Pressure from the business in- ts can get these things for the farmer where political makeshifts fail. BADGES i -.
