Chaska’s body was buried at the eastern edge of the camp, and his Grave was carefully concealed to pre- vent dispoliation by his foes. As the broke, the wagon train was driven over the grave to forever hide it to everyone except those who had disposed of the body. The camp had been established on the south side of a slough and rifle pits had been dug, therefore it was fairly easy for the veterans 50 years later to locate Camp Banks. Other proof was the finding by Siaa- tenhus of one of Sibley’s wagons in wo 1900. It had been abandoned in the slough and the receding waters final- ly brought it to light. Slaatenhus used the wagon for many years. The rifle pits are about a quarter mile southwest of the monument and Yurther marking work is there by the historic site committee whose members are O. B, Newland, Mrs. Albert Christensen and Paul Paslay.

Estimates Washington, Dec. 24.—(?)}—The bu- reau of agricultural economics esti- natn Friday that 90,000,000 bushels | thing, his year's American wheat crop move into foreign markets, Ex- ports from the 1936 crop totaled only 10,049,000 bushels. The estimate indicated a change from recent drougth years, when the United States imported more of the bread grain than it exported. Exports, including flour, between July 1 and Dec. 18 were reported at 31,063,000 bushels. The bureau said American exports would be confined largely to hard red winter and white wheat.

THOUGHTS BY A FARMER Wilton, N. Dak., Dec. 16, 1987, Editor, Tribune: The last few years our regular farm- ing methods have broken down and in facing the future we are not just sure what we should do, Should we move to some other state or try to find a way to make it here? If we were to move to another state or farther east in this state it might be as well, but our as- sets here are frozen (Dec. 16th.) and @ person who is used to being his own boss finds life in a much smaller sphere if he has to work for someone | else. Probably he has developed a re- sponsibility complex. So we deter- minedly search to see what can be done here. Lets consider livestock and think over what its possibilities might be. A few years ago the farmers were subjected to a barrage of literature about the cow, the sow and the hen. The ideas were fired indiscriminetely, but some effective hits might have been made if they had stressed the point of feed, Feed! Feed! Feed you and have to successfully raise live- Probably in this “in-between” coun- Christmas \ Greetings and a sincere wish that the new year will be kind to you. Bismarck Furniture Co.

D. RAMP AARARMDRRMD 3.3.29 MRIR- Motherless for two years, Belgium's royal children are unaware of romantic speculation aroused when their father, King Leopold, visited a titled English girl, Lady Anne Cavendish-Bentinck. Left to right: Crown Prince Baudoin, Prince Albert and Princess Josephine Chai try where we have considered farming first and livestock a side line, we should bring livestock up to a first line endeavor. If we do, we should raise more than enough feed so that the good years will carry us over the poor ones. We shouldn’t sell surplus feed for little or nothing; take it year in and year out feed is worth some- Some people are turning to sheep. (I don’t mean the people). It looks lke a good thing, if people like them. I don't. That wool money comes at a time when dollars are pretty scarce on the farm. Probably in the future when you see a shiny new car go by and don’t know who it is you'll say, “Well, it’s elther a sheep man or some one with a government job.” Cattle have been the greatest source of livestock income here. Some would prefer beef cattle, others find dairy’ cattle more profitable and others dual purpose cattle, depending on loca- tion, amount of help, etc. Though butterfat one year was as low as 12 cents per pound, taking it over the years it seems that you can’t go wrong milking cows, Plenty of feed and cattle, here, might bring us suc- cess. Buffalo used to live here. Would that example of nature point out that cattle raising should be suc- cessful here? Farmers used to do very well with hogs, but the last few years the feed situation has spoiled the hog business, but it would come back if we would | get to sowing a greater acreage to feed grains and corn. ‘There is @ little money to be made with turkeys and chickens, too. This year, when taking turkeys and cream to market, we talked that if we had enough livestock, poultry and cream to market we could get along even if we didn’t have any wheat to haul off. ‘When it comes to horses, we are hop- ing a way may be found to stop the ravages of that brain disease. Ideas concerning it may heip in its treat- tlotte, ment or control. One man who has had some success works on the theory, that the horses have a bad breath, which comes from a bad stomach, and treats accordingly. I believe that be- cause of the acute brain disorder the digestive system is partly paralyzed and that the horse then has two de- Tanged systems to contend with and that if the digestive system can be kept on the move the horse will be more likely to recover. His constitu- tion might overcome the brain disorder alone, whereas the two disorders are pretty likely to overcome the horse. In the past the ratio of livestock to our farming activity was possibly as much as 30 to 70 per cent. Last fall persons were heard to say, “I’m not going to raise any more of this com- mon rust variety of wheat.” Well, what will we do? I think by improved methods we are going to still raise some wheat, but in the future we might change that proportion around | + to 70 per cent livestock and feeds and 30 per cent cash grain crops.
