Dodge- TREND FROM WHEAT TO DIVERSIFICATION SHEN PROMINENTLY Anton Wilhelm, Joseph Gleich, Gerhard Gulling, Knud Moen Typical HEREFORD STOCK POPULAR Cream Shipments Increase Each Year; Water and Coal Found Plentiful Halliday, N. D., Nov. 5—It has been asserted often that the flocking of young people from farms to the cities has been one of the chief rea- sons for agriculture going “haywire.” That assertion may be true, either as to cause or effect, in certain local- ities, but it is not true as applied to that section of Dunn county served by the towns of Halliday and Dodge. There is a surprising number of young persons in this locality who have been farming “on their own” tor only a few years. In fact, nearly two-thirds of the farm population in this trade territory are young men and women who may be classified as new beginners. They do not, as & rule, possess impressive looking homes and barns, but they have ambition and are facing the future wiin a de- termination to make good. They are growing corn and alfalfa, feeding stock, milking cows and keepiug the TN, NO \ RO ” RED. U. 8. PAT. OFF.

IC. increase to enlarge their herds. In the present school of adversity they are laying their foundations on the solid basis of strict economy. Typical of this class of young farmers is Anton Wilhelm, close to Halliday. Wilhelm started raising grain a few years ago, but was mak- ing no headway. Then a friend in Towa said to him: “Tony, why dou'’t you raise stock?” “No money,” An- tori replied. “I'll stake you,” was the answer, and so the arrangemen’ was made. Wilhelm has plenty of pas- ture, raises feed crops exclusively and is feeding out cattle, hogs and shecp. His herd of beef cattle—100 to 150— is turning in a reasonable profit each year, and the Iowa invest~r has never hhad reason to regret that he put up the initial stakes. Another young farmer, Joseph Gleich, near Dodge, pays an annual rental of $200 for a quarter of land with fair buildings. The rental seems reasonable, but this year Gleich har- vested only 450 bushels of wheat from 50 acres and threshing cost 8 cents @ bushel. ‘You can figure {t out for yourself,” he said. Having made a fair start in cattle and hogs, Gleich manages to keep on top. Has Hereford Herd Gerhard Gulling, a son of C. O. Gulling, one of the first settlers, is now managing the old homestead near Halliday. He raised wheat at a Joss the last three years, and is plan- ning to feed more hogs and cattle. He has a good herd of high grade Herefords. Knud Moen, another young farmer close by, is milking cows and getting into stock raising as rapidly as possible. Going to the other extreme in age, there is Charley Irons, seven miles south of Halliday, who is 75 years young and still is going strong. In the post-war slump Irons received a double rap by a scarcity of feed and had to sell most of his livestock at a loss. He has made a remarkable comeback, however, and this year raised 160 acres of corn and 75 acres of alfalfa, to be used for feeding hogs and cattle. His son, Lou Irons, who also is a stockman, is specializing in Hampshire hogs. Among the first settlers who came to the Halliday territory about 36 years ago were Martin Dahlen. Ole Christ, Alf Olafson and Ole Chris- tensen. Dahlen and sons are farm~- ing eight quarters of land with horses and feeding a lot of stock. Chris- tensen has retired and looks after his farming interests from an automo- bile, Olafson has a herd of first class Herefords and recently shipped out some steers that brought eight and one-half cents a pound. “Wheat,” said Olafson, “is getting to be a sad story; the land is wearing out; we must take a new route if farming is going to last. The farmers here would have been better off if they had hever been furnished any other machinery than mowers and hay rakes.” Other old-timers are John Severts and F, G. Schaffner, who reside near Dodge, and Jim Wilson, north of Hal- liday. Wilson came up the trail with cattle in the old ranching days and his friend “Scotty” at Manning de- clares that Wilson still is bow-legged from riding. Alfred Ledin, who settled on a 160- acre homestead near Halliday in 1906, has made money on that small acre- age and lives in a modern home. Re- cently he and his son bought a half section adjoining. and the son will set | Charley Gustafson is said to be the up farming on his own. “Times are hard,” said Mr. Ledin, “but if we didn’t keep our homes supplied with newspapers and good reading matter, they would seem still harder.” Nordahl brothers, who settled on adjoining homesteads at Halliday 23 years ago, had nothing but good health and ambition to start with. They now own one of the best sec- tions of land in Dunn county with modern farm -buildings. They were among the big grain growers in for- mer years, seeding annually 1,000 fQcres or more, but found it risky and unprofitable and quit. This year they harvested 75 tons of alfalfa hay. “I em surorised at the wonderful feeding value of alfalfa,” said John -Nordahl. Ferebee Family Busy C. A. Ferebee, who came from Ne- braska 17 years ago, farms 1,200, gcres, keeps 700 sheep, raises hogs, turkeys and Shorthorn cattle and milks 10 cows. The job keeps him and -his boys reasonably busy.

The prime factor in that boom, which led to the hard setback we had, was reckless use of credit. There were ‘oceans’ of money to loan at that time, and homesteaders were coaxed into bor- rowing, to their own detriment or ruin.” It may be inferred that the pres- ent shortage of agricultural credit is not altogether an evil, and that the young farmers who are forming their habits of living at this time will know better how to stay on an even keel when the next wave of prosperity comes. pi | Menoken School is for our state he loved so/ '—Bernice M. 5 | is for the excellent rider he '—Burton Roberson. : | “V is for the valleys he loved to roam”—Eleanor Ebeling. \ “E is for everything he loved so well”—Laura Sieber. “L is for the love of his country”— Forest Field. | “T is for his travels far and near” —Lucille Ebeling.
