Taylorites Disproving 15-Year- Old Belief That Slope Is Poor Country RESOURCES ARE ABUNDANT Primary Grain Market Many Years, Taylor Boasts of Large Storage Space Taylor, N. D., Sept. 30.—A group of men were discussing the changes that have taken place in North Dakota in the last 20 years, when a commercial traveler made this remark: “Fifteen years ago I heard a young business man in the eastern part of the state make this remark: ‘If we could only get rid of that part of North Dakota west of the Missouri river, we would have a real estate; that cow country is no good and is holding us back.’” That reminiscent remark brought forth a chorus of spirited retorts. “That young business man is older now, and probably knows better,” was the consensus of opinion. It wasagreedthatinthe last 15years, no part of North Dakota has uncov- ered such vast resources or developed so rapdily as that part lying west of the Big Muddy and known far and wide as “the Missouri Slope.” To be sure, it still is a cow country, but the Jong-horned scrub has vanished and the sane grazing lands now support the blocky Hereford or Shorthorn, or the milking strains of cattle, such as Holstein, Guernsey or Jersey. Hog raising also has become an important factor, and the old rope corrals of cowboy days have either been torn down or transformed into feeding pens, with automatic hog feeders, grist mills, and watering systems, to produce the maximum of marketable pork with the, minimum of labor. ‘There is in addition a vast re- source of coal and other products underlying the hills on which ‘he herds are feeding. Only a small be- ginning has been made in developing this mineral wealth, and the com- bined genius of the capitalist and the industrialist will be needed to set the wheels of big industry in motion. The city of Taylor is favorbly lo- cated in this rich agricultural area and a majority of the farmers have prospered and built up splendid mod- ern homes and other improvements. in spite of many discouragements and drawbacks. Primary Grain Market Taylor has been for many years one of the big primary grain markets along the main line of the Northern Pacific. The Farmers elevator, the largest one at this point, has a stor- age capacity of 100,000 bushels. The slump in grain prices, however, has caused a sharp decrease in wheat acreage. From August, 1928, to Au- gust 1929, 440 carloads of grain were shipped out of Taylor, mostly wheat. So far this year only 96 cars of grain have been billed out to the terminals, A year ago an agricultural survey was undertaken by the Taylor Com- munity club, with the object of estab- lishing @ cooperative creamery in the town. It was found that 1,450 co were being milked in the trade terri- tory, and that between April 1, 1928, < and April 1, a year ago, 5,500 cans of cream were shipped out of Taylor, the express charges on the same amounting to $2,250. The last season 5,252 cans of cream were shipped out. Fifty farmers and business men signed up for stock in the enterprise, but’with the agricultural slump and = other adverse factors, the project had * tobe postponed. Mr. McGuire of the ¢ Land O’ Lakes organization, who as- + sisted in the survey, told the farmers 7 and business men that the proposed } creamery would prove “a gold mine.” ‘There seems to be no doubt in the * minds of the promoters that the creamery will be built in the not far distant future. ‘There is a division of opinion in oboe this locality as to the most econom- | q, ical power for farming purposes. A few stick to their horses, but a big majority are operating with mechan- ieal power. The increase in traction power is shown by the fact that in 1929, twenty-nine carloads of tractors, combines and trucks were unloaded and sold at Taylor. Abe A. Knudson, who has a farm managing his own place and farming with horses exclusively. Next year when I resume farming, I intend to stock up with horses.” 4 Among the farmers near Taylor who are keeping high class dairy jing 11 quarters of land and are 30 cows. Their farm is com- mechanized, Mr. Bloom came in 1883 and is one of the oldest re- pioneers. ul GALES OUTROS et PA Oe ty WELL NOW \F THET HAINT RIGHT HANDY! JEST PULLS “TH!

After filling his pit silo, the hogs. are turned out to har- vest the rest. The theory that the land in this neighborhood is too dry for alfalta has been effectively disproved by H. R. Hutchinson, whose pretty farm home is one mile east of town. He planted registered Grimm alfalta three years ago on high ground, and besides taking off two cuttings of, hay each year, has raised his own’ seed. He recently dug a basement seven feet deep and found that one of the alfalfa roots had gone down that + deep, and deeper, in the search for water. Mr. Hutchinson said: “This Missouri Slope land can grow the crops on the least moisture of | ° biggest any that I have ever seen.” A noticeable fact about the Taylor farm area is that most of the farms have old groves of trees or shelter- belts recently planted. One of the farmers who has a small farm and a big grove is Andrew Nordness. He farms only a half section. Twenty- seven years ago he bought the farm from @ fruit-raiser, who had several acres around the home place planted in a great variety of fruits, such as several kinds of apples and plums, compass cherries, grapes, raspberries, gooseberries, and strawberries. The first year of his purchase he sold $100 worth of gooseberries, and every season since then he has been able to gather and sell large quantities of fruits, besides having plenty for his own use. This year he received $20 for plums sold. Nearly all of the business buildings in Taylor are of brick and tile con- struction, many of them of handsome design. The town had two disastrous fires—one in 1908 when nearly all the business section was destroyed, and again in 1914, when a block of stores, an elevator and some resi- dences were burned. Since then no frame buildings have been erected in the business area, The town. has one strong bank— the Security National. It was estab- Ished as a state bank in 1903 and was nationalized in 1924. Its last report shows capital and surplus of $36,000. The deposits average $300,000. There are four active religious organiza- tions in the town, the Catholics, Ger- man Lutherans, Norwegian Luther- ans, and Seventh Day Adventists. © Knudson Is Mayor The Taylor city council is com- posed of John T, Knudson, mayor; E.

The people of Taylor are proud of their juvenile band, which has been in existence only a little over @ year. The youngsters, however, have been under the able leadership of Mr. Wicke of Dickinson and al- ready are playing “big stuff” and putting their town on the map in an advertising way. The band has been drafted to play at Dickinson Oct. 8 on which occasion Taylor will be nu- Sey represented at the county seat, ‘The public schools at Taylor reflect @ healthy condition of community growth.
