Such RCK TRIBUNE land annually and laying down an increment in which each year's crop may be planted. The Red River Val- ley soil is the product of thousands of these inundations, known as lacus- trine deposits and drift. It has practically no sub soil. Wells pass through 220 feet of drift at Fargo, 298, at Grafton, and at Grand Fork: a well penetrated 380 feet of sed mentary soil before reaching bed rock, > - For good measure a very rich black layer of soil tops thjs. This top layer is almost pure hamus and is without grit for it is the residue of the reeds and rushes which flour- ished and decayed each year in the days when the lake “was passing from the frog pond stage to the prairie pasture.” As _a result of this early history, the Red River Valley is known as L in} the longest, levelest, deepest and perhaps the richest valley in the world. ‘The very lands we think worthless and waste would be con- ‘ogen in the soil are riot leached out by unnecessary rains Greenest pastures ai always furthest away, however, and so we think of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illi- nois, and Iowa as the outstanding agricultural states. Yet the Govern- ment Bureau of Soils, Department of Agriculture,’ in comparing the soils of these’ states and North Dakota, lists,—-MINNESOTA,—Soil, dark in color, rich in lower levels, needs drainage. WISCONSIN—Forest soils, light in color, low in humus, fair amount of minerals. ILLINOIS—soil, dark in r, rich, needs drainage. IOWA--Soil, dark, well drained, pro- ductive. NORTH DAKOTA—soil, black, continuous, highly productiv Measured by what it can do and i doing in quantity, quality, and var- jety of agricultural production, the soil of North Dakota is the best and cheapest land in this or any otner country. It produces one-third of af the wheat grown in the United States and ranks first in the pro- state also raised 7,110, potatoes, 22,680,000 bushels of ley, 59,640,000 bushels of oats. She is no% also one of the leading sweet clover and alfalfa states, No other state surpasses North Dakota in the variety, ‘size, or quality of her vege- table production. q , North Dakota will produce a great- er percentage of profit on the capi- tal invested than any other agricul- tural state in the Union, according to the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture. During 1924, the average proy duction per farm was ‘$4,110.00 and the average production per capita was $494.00. South Dakota, the next state in rank, produces but $2,971.00 per farm, and $347 per capita, The census figures for 1924 give the average value of the land in North Dakota as $41.10. According to them then, North Dakota produc- 62 percent of the the improved land in the state and 21.46 percent of the value of all the land in the state, Mon- FOR RELIABLE INSURANCE Before you travel Anywhere Get. a Tourist Policy which protects your per- sonal: effects against loss , by Fire, Theft, Tornado, Let us tell you about this « Over $3,500 of bills chs the glacier which centuries upon| “dered highly productive by Europ-| duction of Number One Hard.
