Fact Is Demonstrated at Man- i dan Field Station, ‘Where } Things Grow’ Editor's Note: This is the last of a series of stories on the land in western North Dakota. By GORDON MacGREGOR Of all the powers for good western North Dakota can call upon to return it to the lucrative days of yore, brain- power will be most needed. That is what one learns after sit- ting at the feet of federal and state experts who have studied the problem —many of them for many years. Man-power, horse-power and will- power have failed to keep it as it was in the beginning but brain-power can restore it to a semblance of its former self. What thinking and planning will ac- cemplish is daily demonstrated at the Northern Great Plains field sta- tion in Mandan. With the exception of one year, the Station always had been able to grow something and always has been able to keep its cattle fat. Different tillage and rotation meth- ods for grain growing, different rota- tion and feeding methods for cattle, careful tending of shelterbelts and gardens, disease preventive steps, con- trol of insects, irrigation all have been used to good advantage at the station. No One Cure-All ‘There is no one cure-all for North Dakota, the scientists at the station point out. Every farmer and rancher E has his own individual problems that b he must solve by the use of his own ? brains and the knowledge gained by g cthers in the same field in which he i operates. If all the resources of federal, state and county governments were placed at his disposal, the plainsman himself in the final analysis holds the key to better days. But he must turn the key. Great strides have been taken by the federal government in recent years to lend a helping hand. Much of the land unfit for farming has been re- tired. Eventually it will be used for grazing as nature intended it, Soil conservation districts are being created where the farmer will have ex- por aid in helping him to help him- self, The state government has supple- * mented this conservation work by in- augurating irrigation development to conserve the water along with other water conservation work being done by the CCC and WPA and the forestry service, Knowledge Is Available Ways and means to control or en- tirely eradicate the various and com- plicated problems—vagaries of climate, vagaries of soil, vagaries of crops, vagaries of livestock have been de- veloped and are continually being im- proved upon by federal and state gov- ernments. Their knowledge is avail- able free to those who will seek it. sed department of agriculture at with its staffs at‘ Man- dant Fargo and Dickinson; the North Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo, the various state departments in Bis- marck, the various county agents all core reac ready to offer expert advice and ass! But all ‘the services and the expert advice man has and offers will go for naught unless the ranchers and the dry land farmers take the initiative towards regeneration and reconstruc- tion of their homelands. inssscieeneeameinioti JAMESTOWN Oman pee Jamestown, N. duly 23.—()}— Mrs. Fred Wilhelm 73, died Thursday night, death resulting from & stroke of apoplexy.
