For those seven years Bismarck on the Missouri was the outpost of civilization. Tt was the troubles of the rth- ern Pacific railway during the Vanie that gave Dakota its first land boom. The stock had been secured by the huge land grant of the government. Men holding large blocks of — stock took their payment in tracts of land. Eight million dollars was raised this the road stood the shogk, re- organized: and proceeded on its’ way to the Pacifi The possess! n of the vast tracts of land brought a new era to the ter- ritory known as bonanza farming. These farms in Cass, Trail, Barnes and other counties, consisting of many adjoining sections, were sown to wheat. On the Dalrymple farm mile-long furrows were plowed with- out a break. Later the cost of labor and the problem of marketing caus- The value of the 1925 mixed farming products was $139,112,000. Thus have the plains of the pioneer nour- ished the tiller of the soil. Dairying a Big Item The dairy cow ruminates on the ground once pawed by the buffalo. Throughout the state there is a great | interest in pure bred herds.. The Agricultural College, the agricultural development department of the rail- roads, the agricultural committee of the North Dakota Bankers Associa- tion and other agencies are sponsor- | ing the marked trend toward better livestock. Businessmen and farmers have joined hands in North Dakota to work out their problems. And it pays. Last year the value of the state’s dairy produgts was $46,14 000.. The total received for butter- fat alone was $10,500,000. Because North Dakota farm lands sell at about one-fourth the cost of farm lands in mid-west states, and with the average income per farm for the past five years $4,276.56, the people of North Dakota are con- fident of their state’s future. An influx of new settlers is at hand. ‘Titey are seeking homes in the state where the annual per ca) produc- tion in agricultural products. for the fa 4 sting past four years was $515.89, the high- Sle ay did’ there meane saatna|est of any state in the Union.

North Dakota, with its nutti-] he travois. and the bullock team tious ‘natural grasses and its easily ed crops of alfalfa and other for- auge crops, is still a big stock raising the day of the cattle king, like the day of the bonanza farmer, is past. Medora, in the heart of the cattle country, is now known as the gate to the Lands where the proposed Roo ional Park will some day mark ‘another era of progress. The Bad Lands, where nature has carved with wind and water and inted with fire, have thrilling Beauty. A review of the past in Medora must not omit the days when young Theodore Roosevelt was a rancher. Old cowboys still tell of his prowess as a hunter and rider and of his ac- tivity as a deputy sheriff, In 1896 he sold his ranch at a profit and re- turned to New York and politics, In his subgeguent writings he regarded North Dakota with such friendliness that the state has adopted him as her own. Nor must cattle days at Medora be passed without mention of the venture of Marquis de Mores who conceived the idea of a packing plant there are now 130,000 automobiles, more in proportion to the population than any state in the Union. Where business began with a few water front shacks now are 169 national banks and 600 state banks and trust companies. To Review Development Tomorrow the people of North Da- kota will gather amid the ruins of the fort that was Custer’s base 50 years ago and review the develop- ment of a great commonwealth—all crowded into the lifeyime of persons still living here. Speakers‘ will tell the younger men and women who are there that the task which the Indian fighter and pioneer have laid on the present generation is not finished. They will be reminded that their children and their children’s chifdren, never forgetting their debt to the past, must take up the torch of pro- gress apd render service to those yet to come that is as necessary as the service given the North Dakota of today by the men who fell in the bat- tle of the Little Big Horn 50 years ago. in the heart of the cow country. 1 Backed by his wife’s millions he put TODAY | plan. into operation on a large seale, attracted many hundred labor- (Continued from page one.) ers to the country, failed and re-| Uncle Sam is rich, that’s true. We turned to France. The Chateau de Mores, the home which he built at Medora, is a landmark. So much for the days before state- “hood. In 1889 North Dakota was ad- mitted to the Union, Its present story is known to everyone, youth as well as pioneer.. The dashing Indian fighter of half a century age would scarcely know what to make of his lost frontier. An Agricultural Empire He would find that the Indian land is now an agricultural empire, an empire as large as New York, Mass- achusetts, Connecticut and New Jer- sey combined. He would find 700,000 people in place of the 2,400 of the seventies. Fe states have greater acreage of tillable soil, In 1890 but 1,909,441 acvegs were under cultivation, The last report of the State Department of Agriculture shows 14,899,057 acres. Number One Hard Wheat is still the great crop of North Dakota, bringing in, $147,215,000 in 1925 while the totals for other grains were al- most $100,090,000 ‘more, The old time farmer would be surprised to know that ih spite of this fact, the day of the one-track, grain farming in’ North Dakota is ‘past., The age of diversification has dawned. have actually $390,000,000 more than we need for 1926. But that is no ex- cuse for squandering. We must be mora economical, cut down expenses every year.” Another cut of $836,193,888 reduces the public debt to nineteen billion six hundred and eighty millions of dol- lars. If necessary, Uncle Sam could pay all that debt by using one-third of the national income for one year. We are rich, but, as the president says, that is no excuse for waste. Summer has begun and poor Wall Street bears, expecting the “usual summer slump,” are still waiting for that slump.
