NORTH DAKOTA SHOWS RAPID | DEVELOPMENT | (Continued from page one) which prevailed siderable portion of the state. | ‘rhis resulted in reducing the bulk | of the grain crop by a considerable amount but it did pot serve to put a op to the impetus of the diversified | farming movement. | A study of the U. S. census figures justifies the statement that North | Di is making more rapid strides toward a balanced system of farming than any other state in the union. In five years time, from 1919 to 1924, the acreage of alfalfa practically | dodbled, increasing from 58,356 acres to 116,279 acres. The acreage in 1926 has been estimated as exceeding 150,- 600 acres. Various counties last spring reported increases ranging | from 36 to 100 per cent. | In 1919 there was practically no sweet clover grown in the state, census returns reporting less than 10,000 acres. In 1924 the U. S. cen- | sus figures showed 168,502 acres of | clover and the acreage in 1926 has | heen placed at more than 200,000 | acres. The outstanding increases have been in dairy products, hogs, mut- ton and wool, and poultry. Hogs are regarded as real revenue producers for the farmers of North Dakota. Reports from 19 counties reveal that the importation of breeding ewes from Montana has resulted in an average increase of 95 per cent in the number of breeding ewes since 1924. The place poultry has taken on North Dakota farms is emphasized by the fact that the value of eggs, chickens, turkeys and other poultry products in 1926 exceeded the value of any single small grain crop except wheat: Creameries on Increase ~ The progress made in dairying is responsible. for the remarkable in- crease in the number of. creameries. Today there are 63 creameries as compared with 47 in 1921 and 38 in 1916, The number of cream stations placed at 1,845 as compared with in 1921. The 1926 butter pro- duction by creameries within the state is placed at 36,584,408 pounds as compared with 16,102,900 in 1921 and 3,210,767 in 1916. Millions in buildings Despite any temporary set-back in some sections of the state as a result of a shoft grain crop, the report de- clares, there has been no let-up in North Dakota’s great push forward to greater development, In Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Minot, Williston, Dickin- son, Mandan, Bismarck, Jamestown, Valley City and Fargo the 1926 build- ing construction, other than municipal improvements, amounted to $8,456,000. Municipal improvements on a larger seale tl in any year since the war were reported by all of the larger cities. This extensive building con- struction has also extended to small- er cities and towns. The railroads are carrying out extensive building programs and construction of the state’s improved highways, providing the state with a supplementary tran- over | high marks for monthly production.

The close of 1926 finds 2,764 mile wf the state’s proposed 7,434 mile highway system graded with 1,395 miles of this gravel surfaced and 10 miles paved. During the year 445 miles of grading, 600 miles of gravel ‘surfacing, 24 miles of clay surfacing and three miles of paving were com- pleted. There were carried over into 1927, on contracts started but not completed, 678 miles of earth grad. ing, 140 miles of gravel surfaci and the Sanish and Williston bridge: The Sanish bridge is 31 per cent com- pleted and the Williston bridge 55 r cent completed. To date the state ighway commission has requests for 1,101 miles of grading and between 500 and 600 miles of gravel surfacing for 1927. The building of the Fargo- Moorhead and Des Lacs bridges will also be included in the coming year.

For the mos part the buyers have been local farm- ers and their sons, but some new set- tlers have located here.
