I take pleasure in presenting the 1942 Blue Book of North Dakota, which, lias been prepared and published in the office of the Secretary of State.

The Blue Book is a compilation of information about state government, elective offices, appointive boards and commissions. It contains a history of the state, the educational system, state owned industries; the history of agriculture, which is the main industry, coal mining, oil and gas prospects, highways and railroad network, game and risli and sceneries.

The sincere appreciation is extended to my Deputy, 0. A. Gilberlson, and my office staff for their diligent work; also to the different state departments, who each had their part in this work.

North Dakota has not published a Blue Book since 1.019, We, there­ fore, could not make the minor changes from the former book but had to publish a whole new book.

My sincere hope is that it will prove valuable, interesting and infor­ mative and that the 1042 edition of the North Dakota. Blue Book will aid and promote Interest in our State.

Secretary of Slate.

NORTH DAKOTA'S CAPITOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS By Ernest G. Wanner Superintendent of Grounds

In writing this article on the State Capitol and Grounds it seems proper to outline briefly how the original site was procured and the first building built.

The Legislature at Yanltton (the first Capital of Dakota Territory) realizing that Yankton, situated in the extreme southeast corner of the Territory, TO not well situated to properly serve the people of such a large territory, after a stormy tight, passed a bill to locate the Capitol at Bismarck, with the proviso that proper ground should be procured without, expense to the Territory and that $100,000.00 in cash should be paid by the City of Bismarck toward a new Capitol Building. Bismarck rose to the occasion and procured a tract of approximately 100 acres for the Capitol Grounds.

This tract was platted into lots, with proper reservation for the Capitol Building, which lots were put on the market and sold almost entirely to Bismarck residents. The first building was built in 18S3 and an addition in 18S4. The North wing was built later, completed in 1900. The Capitol was not very ornate but housed the State Government with reasonable comfort.

This building was burned on December 29, 1930. Practically all of the state records were saved. The state offices were housed in the Memorial Building on the State Capitol Grounds and in such quarters as could be procured in the City of Bismarck.

. The 1931 Legislature provided for the appointment of a Capitol Com­ mission and made an appropriation of $2,000,000.00 for the building of a new Capitol. The Commission was appointed at once and immediately proceeded to procure a building which not only is a credit to the state but also has modern ideas of efficiency. The building is the first Capitol built within the appropriation made for it. It tops all Capitols in its percentage of available space. It is a beautiful building outside and in, and is a perfect "Mecca" for tourists. It was completed in 1934 and at once occupied. Its fame is widespread and few tourists go through Bismarck without looking over our new Capitol and always give it the praise it deserves. The outside Is finished with black granite base, the main building being finished with Indiana limestone-. The inside is finished with Montana travertine, Belgium black marble and Tennessee marble, the woodwork being black and California walnut, mahogany, prima vera wood, teakwood, East India rose wood and laurel, bird's eye maple and chestnut, all magnificently milled. The Interior NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 7 metal is bronze throughout. The building is outstanding for uvallable space, outside light and ventilation.

The Capitol, being built like a fine residence, needed a suitable yard for its setting. To mako a well kept park of 1G0 acres was out of the question; so it was decided to park about 70 acres, planted to grass, trees, shrubbery and flowers. Part of tills tract, consisting of the World War Memorial Building, the Park around it and extending .east to take in the Theodore Roosevelt Cabin, was used. The Federal Government planted the main lawn and several rows of trees running parallel with the west pavement which was placed under the care of the Board of Administration.

The Board Immediately appointed a Superintendent of Grounds with orders to complete the grounds. The first effort attempted was to tie together the Federal Planting with the portion of the grounds already parked. The unsightly ravine running from the Carpenter Shop to Roosevelt Cabin was filled, leveled off, black dirt put over all and planted to trees. The ground west of the Federal planting was also planted to trees with th^ double purpose of appearance and for making a wind break for the protection of the Capitol and Grounds.

All of these trees are doing well and promise to make a fine forest. On the southern border across the road south of the Memorial Building has been established a park known as "Governors* Park" in which plantings have been made so that each Governor sinca statehood has a separate plot, properly deisgnated with a metal marker showing the individual Governor honored. Each plot contains six trees, one for the center and a circle surrounding of five trees, each tree representing the point of a star. Outside the circles the park is profusely plnnted with ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers.

North of the building trees have been planted to make a complete windbreak around the building. The unsightly gumbo slough west of the building has been filled, leveled off and well graveled and made into a needed supplementary parking place. This has been finished with a stone coping of prairie stones and the parking places shown by painted markers. This not only added greatly to the appearance of the ground's but made it possible to care for the excess cars on special occasions. A windbreak has been planted to protect it from westerly winds.

This article would bo incomplete without mentioning the World War Memorial Building which houses the State Library and the Historical Department. The State is proud of both departments. The Historical Department has been especially active and with painstaking care has prepared a museum second to none in the Northwest. Its library Is as 8 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 complete as could be procured, adding greatly to results ot historical research.

We must mention also Roosevelt's cabin. This cabin, situated east of the Memorial Building, has copious grounds surrounded by a high fence. The inclosure' has been carefully planted with trees, shrubs and flowers, all native to North Dakota. The cabin with its momentos of President Roosevelt, has thousands of visitors yearly.

While thousands of trees and much shrubbery has already been planted, only a good start has been made. It is a good foundation, how­ ever, and with care and time the grounds should make a suitable setting for our new Capitol.

THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

The Board of Railroad Commissioners was created by Section 32 of the Constitution of the State of North Dakota, which provided that three Commissioners should constitute the Board. By constitutional amend­ ment approved June 25, 1340, by vote ot 67,294 to 57,239, the name ot the Railroad Commission was changed to "The Public Service Commis­ sion" and all powers and duties ot the Railroi'd Commissioners were transferred to the Public Service Commission. The term of office was increased to six years, one commissioner to be elected every two years.

DUTIES

The Commission has jurisdiction over the rates, charges and practices of railroad companies; street car companies; express companies; tele­ graph and telephone companies; water, gas, electric and steam heating companies; grain elevators, public storage warehouses; commission merchants. It licsnses railway and steamboat agents, airplanes and pilots, ferries, livestock and poultry dealers; wool dealers, sales rings and gasoline pumps. It has full jurisdiction over motor transportation, both freight and passenger; also the administration of Weights and Measures Laws, which includes the calibration of gus and oil delivery tank trucks.

The work of the Commission is divided between six main departments; Freight Rates, Motor Vehicle, Grain Elevator and Warehouse, Weights and Measures, Livestock and Public Utility.

Probably the broadest powers of the Commission are conferred by Chapter 192, Session Laws of 1919. This statute clothes the Commis­ sion with power to regulate the rates for service charged by all public utilities, to regulate and supervise the performance of all utility service and to see that satisfactory and efficient service is provided and main­ tained at all times at just and reasonable rates. Duties conferred by this state; To inventory, evaluate and appraise utility properties for rate making purposes; to examine and inspect all books, accounts and operating records of all utilities; to examine and approve—or disap­ prove—the issuance of securities and any and all manner of indebted­ ness for the creation of liens against any utility property; to examine and approve—or disapprove—assignment, lease, transfer, encumbrance, merger or consolidation of any public util'ty; to make tests and examine utility service; to determine und fix utility service charges; to prevent discrimination both In service or rates.

It is. also made the duty of the Commission to represent the shippers in the State of North Dakota in all cases involving inter-state freight and passenger rates filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission, which may affect the interests of the people of North Dakota.

JUDICIARY SYSTEM OF NORTH DAKOTA BV A. G. BURR ChieC Justice, Supreme Court

The judicial power is vested in a supreme court, district courts, justices of the peace, and such other courts as may he created by law for cities, incorporated towns, and villages.

The legislative assembly is required by law to provide for the election of justices of the peace in each organized county, and the election of police magistrates in cities, incorporated towns, and villages.

THE SUPREME COURT

The supreme court consists of five judges. A judge must be learned in the law, thirty years of age, a citizen ot the United States, and a resident of tho state for three years next preceding his election. The judges are elected by the qualified electors ot the state at large for a term of ten years. In case of vacancy, the governor is authorized to ap­ point a successor to serve Until the next general election. The judge whose term of office next expires, when not holding his office by elec­ tion or appointment to fill a vacancy, shall be chief justice, and preside at all terms of the court. In case of his absence, the .ludge having in like manner the next shortest term shall serve and Preside in his stead. During the term for which he was elected or appointed, no judge of the supreme court is eligible for election or appointment to any other than a judicial office. All votes or appointments of such judge for any such office, given by the people or by the legislature, are void.

TERMS. The supreme court prescribes by rule the time for general or special terms. The court holds ten regular terms per year, convening on the first Tuesday of each month, except in the months of July and August. The sessions are held at the Capitol.

SALARY. The annual salary is the sum of $»,000.00, and can not be increased or diminished during the term for which the judge shall be elected. JURISDICTION. The supreme court lias appellate jurisdiction only, coextensive with the state, and has general superintending control over all inferior courts under such regulations and limitations as may be prescribed by law. It has the power to issue such original and remedial writs as may be necessary in the proper exercise of its jurisdiction, and to hear and determine the same, but no jury trial shall be allowed in the supremo court. Questions of fact may be sent to a district court for trial. The supreme court has the power to make all rules of pleading, practice, and procedure deemed necessary for the administration ot justice in civil and criminal cases and proceedings in any courts, and for taking, hearing and deciding appeals from decisions of public boards 24 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—11)42 and departments exercising quasi judicial functions, and to adopt uni­ form rules of procedure for the district courts. No rule shall'abridge, or enlarge, or change the substantive rights of a litigant.

A majority of tho court is necessary to form a quorum or pronounce a decision, but no legislative enactment shall be declared unconstitu­ tional unless at least four of the judges shall so decide.

In every decision on a judgment or decree, every point fairly arising en the appeal must be decided, the reasons therefore given in writing, signed by the judges concurring, and filed—a dissenting judge having the right to sluto and file his views. The court must, prepare and file a syllabus of the points decided.

No duties can be imposed upon the supreme court, or any of the judges thereof, except such as are judicial. No judge of the supreme court may exercise any power of appointment, except that tho court appoints a clerk and a reporter to hold office during the pleasure of the judges. Their duties and emoluments are prescribed by law.

ADMISSION TO HAH. The power to admit and disbar attorneys is vested in tho supreme court, under rules and regulations laid down by law. The court appoints I'roir. the members of the bar three persons to constitute n state board of examiners.

DISTRICT COURTS

Tho district courts have original jurisdiction of all cases, both of law and equity, except as otherwise provided in the Constitution, and such appellate jurisdiction as may be conferred oy law. These courts have original jurisdiction in al! juvenile mutters. They have the power to issue tho usual and ordinary writs, and authority to hear and determine the same.

JUDICIAL DISTRICTS. The stair* has six judicial districts: District number one: Nelson, Grand Forks. Griggs. Steele. Uanies. Traill and Cass Counties, with three judges. District number hv'o: Pembina, Walsh. Towner. Cavalier, Rolette, Pierce. Benson, Ramsey, nottinoan. Renville and McHenry Counties with three judges. District number thru*': Richland. Ransom, Sargent.

QUALIFICATION OF JUIVSES, SALARY, ETC. Judges of the dis­ trict court are elected by the people at the general election. Each must be at least twenty-five years of age, learned in the law, a citizen of the United States, have resided within the state at least two years, next preceding his election, and an elector of the judicial district for which he is elected. The term of office is six years, with an annual salary of $3,">00.00 and limited expense allowance while outside of the county of his residence. The salary can neither be increased nor diminished during the term Tor which he is elected. No district judge shall bo elected or appointed io any other than a judicial office during the term for which he is elected, and any votes for any other office given him by the legislative assembly or by the people are void.

TERMS OF COURT. The Constitution requires two terms of the d'strict court to he held annually in each organized county. The time of such terms is fixed by order of the Supreme Court in such manner that the judges in each judicial district shall not hold two consecu­ tive jury terms in any county of their district, except in the counties of Cass and Burleigh. In the county or Cass, the terms are held on the first Tuesday of each month, except the months of .luly and August.

COUNTY COURTS

Each organized county has a county court, which has exclusive original jurisdiction in probate and testamentary matters. The voters of any county with a population exceeding 2,000 may deride to confer additional jurisdiction upon the county court, giving the court roneur- rent jurisdiction with the district, court in all civil actions where the amount in controversy docs not, exceed $1.000.00, and in all criminal actions below the grade of felony. In such event, the jurisdiction in cases of misdemeanors, conferred upon police magistrates, ceases. The legislative assembly has power to abolish the office of justice of the peace and to confer that, juridiction upon judges of the county court with increased jurisdiction.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Generally, the justices have concurrent, jurisdiction with the district court in till civil actions where the amount in controversy, exclusive of costs, does not exceed $200.00, and jurisdiction to hear and determine cases of misdemeanor as may be provided by law, where no county court with criminal jurisdiction exists. No justice is permitted to exercise jurisdiction in a case where the boundaries of, or title to. real estate comes in question. Justices (£ the peace (other than city justices) in counties containing cities with population of "»,000 or more, and where the county court does not have increased jurisdiction, have no jurisdiction to hear and deter­ mine criminal actions, or to sit as committing magistrates except in

\ 26 NORTH DAKOTA BLU}5 BOOK—1942 cases of felony. In such cities, the police magistrates and city justices, as against other justices, have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and deter­ mine all cases of misdemeanors and criminal actions below the grade of felonies, and to sit as committing magistrate in cases of felony.

POLICE MAGISTRATES

Police magistrates have exclusive jurisdiction of oil cases arising under the ordinances of the municipality. They are also ex officio justices of the peace of the county in which the city or town or village is located. The police magistrate must be a qualified elector, and have resided in t!v. municipality at least nine months prior to the election. In cities Oi. li.OOO or over, the police magistrate and the city justice, if in a county where the county court has no increased jurisdiction, must be an attorney at law.

APPEALS

Appeals from the decisions of the district court are taken to the supreme court in the manner and form prescribed by law. Appeals from the decision of the county court with increased jurisdiction may be taken to either the District Court or the Supreme Court. Appeals from the decision of the County Court without increased jurisdiction are taken to the district court. Appeals from the decisions of the justice of the peace or the police magistrate are taken to the district court, or to the county court with increased jurisdiction.

The Constitution re­ quires that a senator must be a qualified elector in his or her district, must have attained tho age of 25 years and must have been a resident of the state for two years, while a representative must have the same qualifications except that the minimum age limit is 21 years.

The term of service of Legislative members begins on the first Tues­ day in .January, next nTter their election, at which time the assembly meets at the seat of Government for its regular session, whic!: lasts for GO days.

All Acts of the Legislature take effect July 1st following the session, except emergency measures which become laws immediately after being approved by the Governor. The Governor has the power to veto any act passed by the legislature but the legislature may override such veto by a two-thirds vote. The Lieutenant Governor is Presiding officer of the Senate. The House, however, selects its own presiding officer called the "speaker" from its own membership. 30 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

9. THE STATE SCHOOL OP FORESTRY, Bottineau—President:

A. F. Arnason. Created by the Sta'e Constitution adopted by the people on October 1, 1889. Its location was left uubject to an election by the electors of McHenry, Ward, Bottineau and Rolette Counties. Such election was held November 6, 1S94, and resulted in the location of. the school at Bottineau, at which place it began active work January 7, 1907. The Legislature of that year stated the purpose of the institution "to permit the instruction and training contemplated in the agricultural high school emphasizing those subjects that have a direct bearing on forestry and horticulture." Its success along that line proved somewhat limited on account of lack of interest and in the course of years It became more and more a teachers training institution instead of specializing in forestry work. Governor Nestos on March 3, 1923, vetoed the appropriation made by the legislature of that year to maintain the institution during the 1923-1925 biennium and as a consequence the Board of Administration was compelled to close its doors at the end of the school year. It remained closed until September, 1925, when supported by an appro­ priation made by the 1925 Legislature it again took its place as an educational institution devoted to forestry and horticultural work. The Legislature of 1S13 provided for a State Forest Nursery to be maintained at the school, for the growing of trees for the people of the state.

10. STATE CORRESPONDENCE STUDY DIVISION, Fargo—T. W. Thordarson, Director. This division is located at the Agriculture College, Fargo. It was created by state law in 1935 for the purpose of equalizing high school opportunities for North Dakota people. Under this plan rural students unable to attend town schools are permitted to pursue a high school course in their rural schools; disabled students may study at hom.e; and the curriculums In regular high schools are enriched. In other words, through this set-up the high school is brought to the rural schools for the farm students and to the homes of incapacitated people. Further­ more, this plan enables the regular high schools to provide a greater variety of subjects better to fit the schools to the needs of individual students. Important techniques, educational aids and equipment have been developed for carrying out this individualized teaching program on a high level. The demand indicates the need and importance of tills peoples' educational project: In six years the Correspondence Center has received a total of over 30,000 subject enrollments from students evenly distributed by counties. The project has attracted national attention.

THE BANK OF NORTH DAKOTA

P. A. Vogel. .Manager. The Bank of North Dakota was established by legislative enactment in 1010. It opened for business in 11)20. and has continuously served the State since that date. It is the sole legal depository of all State funds, and acts as fiscal agent for the State and its various departments. The Bunk also accepts private funds both in savings accounts and demand deposits. It is also the depository for hundreds of political subdivisions in the State. Under the law which established it, the Bank does no commercial banking business, limiting its loans strictly to the State, counties, school districts, and other subdivisions. It was founded on the theory that public funds derived from taxation for a specific purpose should not enter the channels of trade and commerce, but Instead should be avail- 119 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1042

able only for loan assistance to political subdivisions. Twenty years' experience has borne out the soundness o£ this theory. It has a paid up capital stock of $2,000,000.00, surplus and undivided profits ot $800,000.00, and total footings of betUr than $30,000,000.00. The Bank ot North Dakota also acts as agent for the State in super­ vising the liquidation ot the rural credit department. Its supervision is under the State Industrial Commission composed of the Governor, who is Chairman, the Attorney General, and the Commissioner of Agri­ culture and Labor. It is the only State-owned and operated bank in the United States.

NORTH DAKOTA MILL AND ELEVATOR ASSOCIATION

Created by Chap. 152, S. L. 1919, to permit the State of North Dakota to engage in the business of manufacturing and marketing of farm products and to establish a system of warehouses, elevators, flour mill, etc., required in connection therewith.

THE NORTH DAKOTA MILL AND ELEVATOR at Grand Forks, was the first enterprise established under this Act. Contracts for same weie let in April, 1920, and the plant was completed and opened tor active operation in October, 1922. It has the following capacity:

MILL: Total capacity of 4,000 barrels per day, consisting of two 1,300 barrels of hard spring units, one 400 barrel Whole Wheat Unit and one 1,000 barrel Durum unit. The Durum unit was installed and put into operation in 1940, taking the place of a third hard spring unit. In addition to its flour "DAKOTA MAID," the Mill also manufactures DAKOTA MAID WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR and many other patent flours, and the usual by-products of bran, shorts, etc., as well as wheat cereals of the Whole Wheat and Farina type and Wheat Germ.

COMMERCIAL FEED MILL: Since diversified farming is becom­ ing more popular in North Dakota the need for supplementary feeds for North Dakota's abundant grain crop was evident. Therefore the Feed Unit was erected in 1930 to supply to the farmers scientifically prepared feeds to increase the value of their feeding grains. The daily capacity is 325 tons. The Feed Unit is also efficiently utilizing many by-products of the flour mill. Every type of feed is manufactured including poultry, hogs, dairy and cattle feed supplements.

NORTH DAKOTA TERMINAL ELEVATOR: With a total capacity of 2,000,000 bushels, it offers storage and conditioning facilities to the numerous farmers' elevators in the State as well as an independent market for their wheat and durum before they reach the Minneapolis and DulutU Markets.

LOCAL ELEVATOR: To better accommodate the local trade a 50,000 bushel addition was built to the local elevator in 1941 increasing the capacity to 75,000 bushels.

FEDERAL GRAIN INSPECTION: This service is maintained at the Mill for inspecting all grain arriving In Grand Forks. This service is ot considerable advantage to all shippers due to the fact that after inspection the cars can be diverted to intermediate points or to Minne­ apolis and Duluth whichever is the most advantageous market. 122 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

DAKOTA PRAIRIES

Prairies, I sing of the prairies'. Of the teeming Dakota plain, Treeless, potential, triumphant, Bursting with sun-ripened grain.

I sing of the unflecked sunshine Of the good, strong, wind-swept soil, Of the great, gray, luminous night-time, After the day of toil.

I sing of the redolent springtime, Of wild roses—a wilderness gay, Of the meadows all swelling with lark-song, Of the vast turquoise dome of the day.

I sing of the pioneer people, Of the strong-hewn, men-vision clear, Of the lithe-limbed, deep bosomed women, Of the tall, sturdy children they bear.

Prairies, I sing of the prairies! A toast now—and every man stand— A toast to the prairies triumphant! To the dauntless Dakota land.

NORTH DAKOTA'S HERITAGE AND EUTURE

By Governor John Moses

North Dakota's greatest heritage is its land and its people—a fertile land; a courageous, confident people, imbued with devotion to the state and the nation.

The first white explorer found here an undulating plain covered with rich nutritious grasses, dotted with lakes and crossed by the great Missouri and many smaller streams—a plain teeming with bird and animal life, inhabited only by Indian tribes. Traveling from the rich alluvial lands of the Red River Valley, westward over the fertile drift plains toward the Missouri escarpment, and finally entering the country of the Missouri Slope, a ranching area of broken hills and rich valleys, the early adventurer found it a great, a good and a rich land.

North Dakota is still a new state. Carved out of Dakota Territory, it came Into being November G, 18S9. Its settlement has been a slow and gradual process, free from the land booms or the stampedes which marked the settlement of other plains states. It is lees than eighty years since the last of the Indians left tue~\Red River Valley before the advancing- forces of civilization, and the' ruts left by the covered wagons of the homesteaders have not yet disappeared from our western plains. Our first pioneers, sturdy native Americans from New England and the Midwestern states, seeking a home in a prairie wilderness, brought with them the democratic ideals of American government—the democratic way of life. As the sod house and the log shanty of the homesteader began to dot the prairie, the school and the church followed, and local government was established, On the heels of these first settlers came home seekers from Northern Europe—pioneers bringing with them the traditions of free men and women, mingling and mixing readily with the first-comers, and adding a rich contribution to the pattern of life and government in North Dakota.

Improvement of transportation facilities hastened settlement and development of the wheat country. Replacing the ox-cart and the river boat, the transcontinental railroad connected the state with the world's food markets. Communities were built and towns established; business and industry flourished, and the wheat fields soon earned for North Dakota the title of "the bread-basket of the World."

Along with the development of the wheat country came the estab­ lishment of the ranch industry in the great natural pastures lying west of the Missouri River. Following the Texas trail, hundreds of young men from the ranges of the southwest came into this newest frontier, bringing with them the life and color and traditions of the cattle country. This new industry centered around Medora in the Badlands, and the ranch life of Theodore Roosevelt, the deeds and dreams of the Marquis DeMores, 236 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1042 tho exploits and achievements of many a bond adventurer, make up the colorful story of .North Dakota's western frontier. "With the passing of the frontier, the era of the homesteader and the pioneer onded. It had been an era of bonanza farms and cattle barons; of development and transition. Out of the welter of pioneering; some of it drab and commonplace, but much of it colorful and courageous, slowly emerged the North Dakota we know today.

And what of our future? Paradoxical as it may seem, North Dakota's future has been made secure through the medium of adversity. No other state in the Union has experienced a period of years so trying as the years of drouth and dis­ aster through which North Dakota has just passed. Prior to 1920 the development of agriculture in our state was based prinjcpally upon the wheat farm, supplemented to some extent by the raising of live stock. The land was robbed of much of its fertility and during the wind-swept •years of the drouth, erosion became a problem. A disastrous shortage of feed forced the western farmer and rancher to sell his herds. We have lost much in material things, but we have gained much in experience, and that we cannot lose. There was a time in the history of the state when wheat was con­ sidered the paramount agricultural product—when North Dakota was proud to be considered the "Bread Basket of the World." But the ex­ perience of lean years taught us that we cannot live bj wheat alone; that we must include in our agricultural economy all of the products of our soil and our climate. A definite, progressive trend toward wider di­ versification has brought a "balanced ration" to the North Dakota farm. North Dakota honey sells at a premium; North Dakota turkeys top the market; North Dakota dairy products rani; in quality with the best in the United States. North Dakota leads in the production of certified seed potatoes. The raising of sugar beets on dry land in the Red River Valley and under irrigation in western North Dakota adds security and stability to the farming enterprise. Our herds of cattle and flocks of sheep are steadily increasing, in quantity and improving in quality. The farmers' feed lots are filled with hogs and poultry. The corn belt is rapidly expanding westward and northward from the southeastern corner of the state. The range has regained the strength of by-gone years and nutritious grasses are rapidly transforming wornont fields into perman­ ent range.

One of the greatest advances made by the state during the recent drouth cycle has been the realization of the paramount need for a definite program of water conservation and irrigation. With the creation of the State Water Commission came the development of some twenty thousand acres of irrigated land during the last four years, with studies and plans for further development of all the great river valleys of the state under way. These plans embrace not only the Missouri, but also the .Tames, the NORTH DAKOTA BLUB BOOK 1942 237

Sheyenne, the Mouse, the Knife, the Heart, the Cannonball und other rivers. They call for the development of a stabilized water program to supply an adequate aud dependable flow of water through the drainage system of the Red River of the North. They Include diversion of the waters of the Missouri River, developed by means of a carefully planned long-term program. The people of the state are confidently looking for­ ward to the realization of these plans, to the utilization of every drop of water which can be absorbed by North Dakota land, to the restoration of the water in the Devils Lake basin, und to the establishment of a constant flow of water in the rivers of the state.

But all these things will not of themselves bring success and prosperity to our people. The stability of the farming industry depends upon a carefully planned agricultural economy, and the firm foundation upon which an economy must rest is farm home ownership. Security and permanency are natural consequences of ownership, and the greatest task facing the economist and statesman, is the establishment and perpetuation of a state policy designed to foster and further develop the present healthy trend toward farm home ownership. Such a policy is in keeping with the ideals of progressive democracy which have always characterized the people of North Dakota. It will be carried forward with the vision and courage which is inherent in the sons and daughters of homesteaders and pioneers. Next to its land, the state's greatest resource is its practically un­ touched beds of lignite coal. Two-thirds of the entire area of the state is underlaid by these rich deposits. Lignite is the fuel of thv people aud since the days of tlf '.lomes leader farmers have mined their own coal with little cost above that of their own labor. Modern power-mining machinery and increased transportation facilities have brought the output of our mines to more than two million tons annually. The progress of science is constantly bringing to light new uses for lignite and new- processes of development. Briquetting, dehydrating and other methods of refining this fuel have been started, and the possibilities of extracting by-products of great value have been explored. Lignite char for the making of ammonia; activated carbon and other substances derived from lignite, open new opportunities for world chemists.

In addition to its vast lignite deposits, millions of tons of bentonite, colloidal and ceramic eUys stored in North Dakota have met the tests of the chemist and the artisan. Factories are being built and choice products are being made available Cor the markets. Sodium sulphate, Fuller's earth, and other natural resources are now being developed for commercial use. Geological explorations and investigations have already indicated the probability of rich deposits of oil and gas, and are con­ tinually bringing to light minerals and chemically valuable substances whose existence in our state was not even dreamt of by our pioneers.

In the North Dakota of the future, scientific agricultural development, 238 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 based upon that stability of. the community which follows farm home ownership, will go hand in hand with the gradual development of these vast under-ground resources and still another industrial development based upon the processing here in North Dakota ot the products of the soil.

The advantages of rural life in North Dakota are steadily being en­ hanced by rural electrification, by the building of better highways and better schools, by the continued development of community centers.

North Dakota has more sunshine than any other state in the Union. Because of this, the tomatoes and other vegetables from its rich soil are packed with strength-building vitamins. Our fine bread wheat is known the world over; our certified seed potatoes are used successfully and extensively throughout the potato-growing areas of the nation; our prime beef, premium hogs, quality turkeys and superior honey are rapidly winning for the state some of the most favored of the agricultural markets. North Dakota is not merely a storehouse of foods; it is a storehouse of the finest foods of the nation.

North Dakota's climate has been sadly misrepresented. Its occasional severe and savage winter storms have been widely dramatized in the public press. Nationally we love the spectacular, and snow driven before a gale of sixty miles an hour is spectacular. But to the North Dakotan who has lived here long, our blizzards are merely an occasional winter phenomenon. Few people realize that the winter temperatures in North Dakota average no more than seven to fifteen degrees below those recorded at St. Petersburg, Florida. Few people realize that! in North Dakota, the span of life is longer, on the average, than in any of the other states of the Nation; that the infant mortality rate is lower than in any other state. One of our greatest blessings is our climate, with its long hours of brilliant sunshine, the bracing vigor of its clear, fresh aii*. Thousands of people who have come here broken in health and in spirit have regained physical strength and vitality in the invigorating radiance of our outdoors.

North Dakota has the definite chunn of the changing seasons. It has its cherry-blossom time. It ha" a lush splendor of growing things in June. Tts autumn days of mellow sunshine are something to be enjoyed and long remembered. Its winters are no longer than those of the average of the \iiddl ewes tern states, and your true North Dakotan revels in th • majesty of its occasional winter storms. They bring a sense r** oecurity at the cozy home fireside, and we know they are hut a passing *»»ood of nature, for with spring will come the glorious renaissance of alt living things.

North Dakota is a great home state. All of its land is good. A home can be made here with assurance. Its schools and colleges are well supported and maintained, and are steadily raising the standard of their teaching. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 239

We North Dakotans "ay with James W. Foley: "But there's something in Dakota makes you live and breathe and teel", Makes you bigger, broader, better, makes you know the worth of toll; Makes vou free as her prairies and as noble as her soil; Makes you kingly as a man is; makes you mighty as a king— And there's something in the grandeur of her seasons' sweep and swing That casts off the fretting fetters of your East and marks you blest With the vigor of the prairies—with the freedom of the West." All this is our heritage—all this is our future.

MY HOME By G. A. Gilbertson Deputy Secretary o? State North Dakota during its territorial days as well as during its fifty years of statehood has had many and varied interesting developments and undertakings, but the most interesting and important industry always has been, is, and likely always will be. agriculture. It is true that North Dakota has more lignite coal than any other state in the Union and that the mining and utilization of this coal is an interesting subject. It is true, also, that the Badlands of North Dakota are as interesting and as awe inspiring an oddity as can be found anywhere; but, to me, these appear only minor as compared with the main industry of the state, which' is agriculture.

In agriculture North Dakota still majoiii in the production of hard wheat. North Dakota has a total area of 45,151,851 acres. The state's land area is 44,917,120 acres. The area of our farms is over 38 million acres, and of this amount we have under cultivation over 24 million acres. The total population is approximately 700,000 people of which over 400,000 live on farms, so you can readily see why I consider agriculture the all-important industry of this state.

Wheat is the crop that first made North Dakota famous. It still is the mnjor crop, but corn and potatoes are becoming increasingly valuable crops, both from the standpoint of production and rotation for clean culti­ vation as the years go by.

The cash income from the farm crops runs well over one hundred million dollars a year. In fact, some years it has exceeded $175,000,000. The cash income from livestock and livestock products is increasing from year to year. Twenty years ago this source of income was approximately $50,000,000. Today it exceeds $75,000,000. The greatest handicap to the farming Industry of this state is the fluctuation of prices of agricultural products—both grain and livestock. It Is the hope and prayer of every resident of this state that the time may soon come when something may be done to stabilize these prices from year to year. 240 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

The climate in North Dakota is very healthful and delightful, and is conducive to long productivity, as the long sunshiny days and cool nights contribute to rapid growth. The cool nights in the summer follow­ ing even very hot days temper the heat and prevent too rapid evapora­ tion. By reasons of her long days and twilights North Dakota gains approximately 200 hours, or 20 ten-hour days more sunshine during its growing season than any other state. Its soil is very fertile and shows no deficiency of any element necessary for crop production. The Bureau of Soil, United States Department of Agriculture, makes this terse statement: "North Dakota—soil black, continuous, high productivity." We, who have always resided in this state like it. We love its hanging seasons, its wide prairies, and its splended cool nights; and, iiile at times our people make sojourns to other states and other climes the majority of them always seem to return to North Dakota where agriculture reigns supren-e.

THE HISTORY OF NORTH DAKOTA

Those of us who are impressed with the common belief that the history of North Dakota is embraced within a period of a scant one hundred years, and even the student of history, with his eyes upon the centuries of the :>ast, may well hold that the history of the state is only now in the making or yet to be made. Indeed when the short record of history today shows us that the state has had on existence as a state of but fifty years and that only a few years more than a century ago became part of the United States, there is some excuse for the opinion that our history is yet to be written. To these and to the student of history it will come with (something of a surprise that our history dates back three centuries; that a hiyh order of civilization prevailed on these prairies at that time; that when the colonies were warring for freedom, agiv nlture of an extensive kind prevailed here, a stable government ruled and crime WJM rare, indeed from the point of view of the historian, no state with the exception of New York, presents in its history so vividly the contest between the rival interests of France and England, and later the United States. Recent investigation has brought this out dearly and in an incontro­ vertible manner, and North Dakotans. instead of an apology for a history have a history of which they may be proud. The name "Dakota" means, in the language of the Sioux, confederation of tribes. The word as used by the Indians, is said to connote tho idea of tribes on the front or frontiersmen. The state was a part of the original Louisiana Purchase in 180». In

1812 It was a part of the Missouri Territory and later a part of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska. It was not until March 2, 1861, that the Dakota territory was organized with the capital at Yankton; but another civilization antedated this.

Three centuries ago Mandans, Arikara and other Indians had a civiliza­ tion along the Missouri River in what is now North Dakota. There, farm products similar to those afterwards raised in New England, were ex­ tensively cultivated—corn, beans, native potatoes, squash, pumpkins, tobacco and sunflower seeds—the latter mixed with corn meal making good bread.

Civil government, geography, history (more than local), domestic science and zoology were well taught. The government was satisfactory and permanent and crime was infrequent.

European influence touched this civilization first from the direction of New Mexico about 1620. Besides their stores, ranches, mines and negro slaves in New Mexico the Spanish had unrecorded posts out toward North Dakota, whsre neighbo. ing Indians purchased wares and retailed them to northern tribes. A commun ground for this trade was established between the HeM't and the Cannonball rivers. In this neutral ground the Indians exchanged wares, songs, dances, traditions, stories, religions ideas, geograp'tical and historical knowledge, news and even orations and prophecies were exchanged.

The first disruption of this friendly intercourse came through the medium of the Spaniards, who attempted to and did secure slaves by inciting the southern Indians to capture Indians from the northern tribes and sell them to the Spaniards. Tradition says that the Spaniards would give a good horse for three virgins. From this time onward agriculture waned and the young men taught the arts of war.

About 1640 French traders, trappers and adventurers began to come far up the Missouri river and joined with the Sioux Indians in driving the Mandan, Arikara and Hidatsa Indians from one village to another, the Sioux being supplied by the French with superior weapons. This continued until the decimated tribes took a permanent home at what is now Fort Berthold. At this period in the history of these tribes, when a male child was born, the mothers wailed because it was destined to be slain in battle. At this time, too, the Hudson's Bay Company's in­ fluence was shown, its agents encouraging scalping, while the French taught the Sioux to cut off the heads of their enemies and a stroke of the hand across the throat became the word in sign language for the Sioux. These French adventurers were in search of wealth to be found in pelts, rather than to promote or encourage civilization. From this period dates the old trading post at the mouth of the Cannonball.

But even the Sioux, contaminated as they were by the contact and precept of the white man, still retained a strong predilection towards 242 NORTH DAKOTA BLUB BOOK—1942 agriculture and the Yankton's were supplied with plenty of food even when the game was scarce. Chief Two Bears is known to have had two hundred acres or corn below Fort Yates. Frenchmen often stole corn from the Teton Sioux, as shown from pictograph records. So persistent indeed was this Indian instinct toward agriculture that it did not perish until comparatively .recent times, when the white men controlled the Missouri River with their forts and Indian agencies.

From the middle of the eighteenth century the Hudson's Bay company influenced the upper Missouri Indians as well as the Canadian Indians. This influence, as shown before, was far from beneflcient, and brought a degeneracy to the Indian -ace that can scarcely be appreciated, which eventually wiped out all hui traces of the ancient civilization. Besides posts on the Red River in North Dakota the Hudson's Bay Company was Mia representative of tho English In the struggle for supremacy in the entire northwest.

Thus four great national forces, Spanish, French, English and Ameri­ can alternately struggled for the control of the northwest and the theatre of this struggle converged along the Missouri River In North Dakota. The result of this struggle barely turned In favor of the American, while aboriginal civilization was obliterated, leaving only traces and traditions of its former power and glory.

Other tribes who inhabited this region and who were also agriculturists were the Cheyenne, Chippewas and Asslniboine. They had a cruder form of civilization than the Missouri Indians and fell much sooner before the onslaught of the white men's influence and power.

Thus while the Indians were fighting for their existence as a nation or a people, or fighting each other at the instigation or white men, the Colonies were asserting their rights as free slates. As some of the more venturesome of the colonists came West right up to the Alleghany moun­ tains and looked into the great fields beyond and heard the stories of this new kingdom, there came to some a vision of a new and mighty nation. The most prominent of these men of vision was Thomas Jef­ ferson. Long before he sent Lewis and Clark into the new continent of the West, he had forseen the forces which would eventually brh.g the country into th« hands of the United States, as they did In 1803.

Lewis and Cb>rk were in this state during the fall and winter of 1804-05. They found the ' mntry in Its virgin state, and while In their winter quarters 12 miles abovs what is now Washburn, quietly made notes and preparations for t\e jo lrney to the Pacific. They came in contact with the Mandans at Fort Clark and the Hidatsa or Grosventre at the Knife River. It was at the Hidatsa village, one mile north of Stanton, that the two explorers found the intrepid guide Sakakawea and her husband Charbonneau.

244 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

The Lewis and Clark expedition opened the eyes of the world to the opportunities beyond the borders of the Atlantic sea coast. Some of the others who followed into this strange new empire were Bradbury and Brekenvidge in 1811; Catlin and Maxmilian in 1832, and John Fremont in 1839. These men all have left a full account of their explorations and experiences in this territory. Many others came into the country to travel and to trade. The Pembina and "Walhalla district was peopled, but as yet all trade was overland. But soon the trading posts established demanded more goods and less time in delivery, and in response to this demand steamboats began to ply the Missouri. The first common carrier system gradually increased until the late sixties and in the early seventies was at its height.

Soon the influx of the new race brought its clashes witli the older. The white and red men differing so in civilization and in ideas, and kept further apart by racial instinct, found it difficult to understand each other, and it is to be feared that the white man in but few instances tried to understand. The Indian with his love of nature, living as nature dictated, could in no wise comprehend the commercial mind of the white intruder, and especially as he came In contact more often with those individuals of the white race who had lost much if not all of the finer elements and permitted evil to predominate. Such a friction once started could not remain long without strife. The awful massacre of Minnesota in 1862 was one of the results of this. Only a very small part of the Sioux nation took part in this massacre, yet such was the misunderstand­ ing of the white men at the time, that in response to the bitter cry of the settler, who had paid the penalty of another's wrong, troops came to punish both innocent and guilty Indians.

Sibley and Sully in 1SG3-64 and '65 travelled the length and breadth of the slate on a punitive expedition—Sibley coming In 1863 and Sully in 1863-64 and '65. These were hard blows to the Sioux Nation and some of the greatest battles ever known to have been fought between white soldiers and Indians took place during these three years. The White- stone battle, the Killdeer battle and the battles of the Badlands were the most important of Sully's campaign while the Big Mound, Buffalo Lake and Stoney Lake fights were the chief engagements of Sibley's. The founding of Fort Rice and Fort Abererombie was the result of these wars, the first being established to keep peace on the frontier and pre­ serve order and make travel safe Cor the emigrant in the state and through the state.

Gold was discovered in California in 1S4S, but before that Idaho in 1S43. This discovery and the opening of the mines later in Montana caused thousands to cross the state. They must have a route to Montana and Idaho. They must have the protection of government troops. To afford this protection Forts Pembina, Ransom and Buford were estab­ lished. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

This influx of travelers had its effect upon the state and, while many found no gold in the new El Dorado, many saw the advantages and riches spread before them on the fertile prairies. The frontier was made safe and many settlers came to make homes, but these first settlers were doomed to disappointment for the years of famine and grasshoppers of the seventies came upon them and their sufferings were great. Due to this, adverse reports went out and it was not until the great bonanza farms started years after, that the farming Interests really revived, for reports had gone forth and were generally believed that North Dakota was a desert and fit only for ranching. But the thousands of men who had been here, who had seen the country and perhups'had gone elsewhere, were ever returning to North Dakota, and when the Northern Pacific Railway was built into the state in 1873, they returned, bringing many followers with them. It took a long timo to run a survey through the stale and the Whistler expedition in 1S71 and the Stanley expedition in 1872-73 really opened the western part of tho state to railroading. Towns were built to the Missouri and more forts were established to guard the west. Another new force and another impetus to the settlement of the state came when Custer went to the Black Hills in 1874 and brought back with him the report that there was "gold in the grass roots." Thousnnds of gold-seekers flocked to the Black Hills as a result. This influx or inundation of white men upon territory hitherto regarded by the Indian as his own, and which was in fact ills, not alone by natural right but by the treaty or 18GS, alarmed and enraged the Sioux. The treaty by its terms would have kept the white race east of the Missouri river, and when the Sioux saw its violation they understood only too well that it would not be long before ti,e whole western part of the state would be opened, as the east already was, to the great ranchers. Naturally the Sioux sought to protect their rights, and their only recourse was an uppeal to arms. This warfare culminated in the famous bottle of the Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876, when Custer and his entire command were an­ nihilated. This reverse, however, could not stem the tide "Of white settlement and Indian supremacy over this region was doomed.

Towns sprung up a" "1 grew fast, ranches and farms multiplied and the era of the pioneer began. The capital of the Dakotus was at Yankton until July 2, 1883, when it was moved to Bismarck, where it remained until the formation of the two states, North and South Dakota, In 18S9. Tlie territorial legislature passed an act in 1S83 providing for the removal of the territorial capital from Yankton to a point designated by the com­ missioners appointed for tho location of the new capital. The following persons were appointed as such commissioners: Alexander McKenzie, Miio W. Scott, Burleigh F. Spalding, Charles H. Myers. George A. Matthews. Alexander Hughes. Henry H. DeLong. John P. Beldlng and M. D. Thompson. The capital commission at a session held in the city of Fargo on the 2nd day of June, 1S83, located the territorial capital at 246 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

Bismarck. The act provided that $100,000 and 160 acres of land should ba donated to the state for capltol purposes as a condition of the location of the seat of government. The citizens of Bismarck by voluntary sub­ scription contributed $100,000 in cash and 320 acres of land. A bill known as the "omnibus bill" and which was an act dividing the territory of Dakota into the states of North and South Dakota and enabling the two Dakotas, Montana and Washington to formulate con­ stitutions, was approved February 22, 18S9, and a constitutional con­ vention was held at Bismarck beginning July 4, 1889. A constitution was formulated and submitted to a vote of the people of the state of North Dakota at an election called for that purpose, and to elect state officers. October 1, 1889. There were 27.440 votes cast for and 8,107 against the adoption of the constitution.

The Legislature of the State of North Dakota met for the first time November 19, 1SS9. This session lasted 120 days, but the length of all subsequent sessions was fixed by the constitution at 60 days.

in this first session the legislature instituted a department of agricul­ ture for "the promotion of stock-breeding, agriculture, horticulture, manu­ facturers and domestic arts." A school law enacted at this session was an enlightened and detailed piece of legislation. North Dakota had at the beginning of statehood a well-organized university at Grand Forks; Catholic schools at Fargo. Grand Forks, and Bismarck; a congregational college at Fargo; a Presbyterian college at Jamestown; and at Towner City a Baptist college, which, however, failed to survive.

One of the most exciting battles of the first legislative session was the bill to license the Louisiana Lottery. Rumors circulated to the effort that bribery was being practiced, that the lobbyists for the lottery were making liberal offers for votes. The Governor and his friends had hired detectives from the Pinkertoa Agency to mingle with the legislators and lobbyists. When the detectives had all the information they needed, they revealed their identity to the lottery supporters. Fearing exposure, the lottery enthusiasts gave up the fight and the bill was killed.

North Dakota was faced with the drought problem during the adminis­ tration of Gov. Andrew Burke (1891-92), and the people looked to the legislature for some solution to their problems. Their petitions were not at all times considered seriously. One member offered a resolution praying Congress to pass a law establishing a scientific rain bureau and a law offering a reward to anyone discovering a practical system of pro­ ducing rainfall. The house referred this resolution to the temperance committee.

At the beginning of statehood North Dakota had been subject to a rather autocratic form of government, in spite of decidedly democratic constitutional provisions. The State had been economically dependent on the East. The directing powers in the early State government were cen­ tered in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Eastern wealth had furnished capital : NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 247

for the railroads, and the railroads had been responsible for the settle­ ment of the State. Likewise, the farmer's crops had also to ho sold in the East, and his machinery and supplies must necessarily be pur­ chased there. At the time North Dakota was admitted to the Union the Republican Party was in control. Democrats at that time in State history and for Ions afterward were few and far between. These two old-line parties were the only two worthy of note in this early period, although the Populists polled a large vote in the first Presidential election and North Dakota divided its first electoral vote, one vote going to the Democratic, one to the Republican, and ono to the Populist candidate. The railroads arid financial interests of St. Paul and Minneapolis had very early begun interfering In North Dakota politics. Judson LaMoure and Alexander McKenzle were the lords of this era, both representing railroad interests in State politics, and the favors they were able to bestow were a safeguard against legislation hostile to the companies. In time they came to be the protectors of other interests, including banks, insurance companies, line elevators, and lumber companies.

The first revolt against this system came in 1892. Gov. Andrew Burke had vetoed a bill favored by the Farmers' Alliance which would force railroads to lease sites or right-of-way for grain elevators and warehouses. The Farmers' Alliance, Democrats, and Populists fused, and Eli C. D. Shortrldge was elected Governor. In Governor Shortridge's administration the legislature passed a bill for highway improvement. Money was appropriated to enlarge the State capitol building. The tendency of legislation during the session of 1S93 was definitely toward the principles of the Populist platform. During Shortridge's administration North Dakota attempted its first State ownership venture. One hundred thousand dollars was appropriated to build a State elevator at Duluth, Superior or West Superior. The panic of 1893 came on and the plan was not carried out. In 1S94 Roger AIMn, regular Republican, was elected Governor, and with that election the first brief rebellion against Eastern capitalism was ended. Governor Allin felt it necessary to veto several appropriations in order to keep within the probable revenue, and State institutions had practically no funds for operation. In the ease of the university, salary was pro­ vided for the janitor but not for the faculty, President Merrifield and the faculty preferred to 6erve without any pay rather than close the institution, and necessary expenditures were met by private subscription. Other institutions were kept open in the same way. During the administration of Gov. Frank Briggs (1897-98) the Spanish- American War broke out. The entire National Guard volunteered its services, but many members could not be accepted because of the quota set for North Dakota. North Dakota volunteers took part in 30 engage­ ments and skirmishes during the Philippine insurrection. 248 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

Governor Briggs died in August 1898 and his term was completed by the Lieutenant Governor, Joseph M. Devine, who later served several years as Commissioner of Immigration. Both Briggs and Devine were Republicans, and they were succeeded in 1898 by another member of their party, Frederick B. Fancher, a leader in the Farmers' Alliance. Fancher declined a second term, and was succeeded by Maj. Frank White, who had served in tho Philippines. White found the State debt the chief problem of his administration. He served two terms and yielded his office to E. Y. Sarles. Legislation during Sarles' term tended toward control and regulation of corporations. A board was created to supervise State banks, and tho manner of organizing insurance companies in the State was prescribed. SarleB was defeated for reelection by "Honest John" Burke, a Demo­ crat, and the only Governor of this State to serve three terms. From tho governorship he left North Dakota to become United Stales Treasurer under President Wilson, later served as Chief Justice of the North Dakota Supremo Court, remaining a member of the court until his death in 1937. Crawford, in his history of North Dakota, has said, "The legislative his­ tory of the Burke administrations is an instructive illustration of the ideals and motives which were so characteristic of the (Theodore) Roose­ velt era." State institutions were liberally provided for, a primary elec­ tion law was enacted, prohibition laws were enforced, schools were im­ proved, and various regulatory offices and boards were created.

A second revolution in North Dukota political history was ushered in with the election of Burke. The Progressive Republicans, enthusiastic supporters of the so-called "LaFollette reforms," had formed a coalition with tho Democrats to elect this first Democrat Governor of North Dakota. "It was," according to Judge Andrew Bruce in his book the Non-Partisan League, "the revolution which laid the foundations for the present Non-Partisan League, for in it the farmers found a new war cry and new objects of anathema. The war cry was 'North Dakota for North Dakotans' and the objects of their anathema were 'Big Business, McKcnssie, and McKcnzieism*." Gov. Louis B. Hanna succeeded Burke in 1913. In 1012, a Presidential election year. North Dakota's electoral votu* went to Wood row Wilson. New apportionment gave this State three representatives in Congress instead of two. Governor Hanna asserted his belief in businesslike ad­ ministration of government offices, and revised the accounting methods in Stato departments. Throughout this period tendencies in the Stale were progressive; social legislation was favored; the State grew rapidly in population; new towns were springing up; tho automobile age had ar­ rived. Through all this ran the thread of the second political revolution which Burke's election had begun, and which was continued through the Hanna administration. It was directed 'principally against injustices in the grain trade. Farmers were incapable of developing their own market- NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 249 ing facilities. Millions had been Invested in the mills and elevators of St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and in the "line" (corporation) ele­ vator companies throughout North Dakota. The farmers complained of unfair methods of grading and docking their grain; they claimed that the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce was a closed corporation, and that its members were identified with the big milling and elevator interests. Even conservative Senator McCumber of North Dakota protested in 1916 before the United States Senate against abuses in the grain trade. The Equity Exchange had been organized in 1909 to act as a farmers' general selling agency in St. Paul, but had been denied membership in the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. The Society of Equity and the Equity Exchange tried to get a bill through the 1915 legislature for the establishment of a State-owned elevator, but tho attempt failed. Indigna­ tion at the defeat of the 'of 11 resulted in the birth, in February 1915, of a new political party, the iNonpartisan League. A. C. Townley, a genius in the art of organization, spread the league gospel through the state. Townley had begun life in poverty, had failed in a large-scale flax-growing enterprise, and had for a time been identified with the Socialist Party. A. C. Bowen suggested the formation of the league. Charles Edward Russell was the first editor of the newspaper, the Non-Partisan Leader, and Walter Thomas Mills drafted many of its laws. All three of these men were Socialists. After winning the support of a prominent farmer, Fred Wood, and his two sons, the movement spread rapidly. Before the end of the first year the league had 30,000 members. Its platform embodied five planks:

1. State ownership of terminal elevators, flour mills, packing houses, and cold storage plants. 2. State inspection of grain and grain dockage. 3. Exemption of farm improvements from taxation. 4. State hail insurance on the acreage tax basis. 5. Rural credit banks operated at cost.

"Practical salesmanship, a program of immediate and forceful action, and the use ot the Ford automobile are the factors prinicpally explaining the rise of the Non-Partisan League," declares Herbert Gaston in his book The Non-Partisan League. Most of the League membership was Republican; it was therefore an easy step to the use of tho machinery of that party. In the primary election of June 1910 and again in the fall the league was successful. Lynn J. Frazier, became the first league-elected Governor, and three league-endorsed candidates, R. H. Grace, James E. Robinson, and L. E. Birdzell, were placed on the supreme court bench. Three hundred thousand dollars was appropriated by the legislature to carry out the provisions of a terminal Elevator Commission bill, but Frazier vetoed the act declaring the appropriation insufficient. Among the progressive legislation enacted at this session were bills providing for the creation of a. State highway department, land title registration NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 250

(never enforced, however), increased funds for rural schools, reduction of rate of assessments on farm improvements to 5 per cent of the true value, and guarantee of deposits in State hanks. Entry of the United States into the World War brought new activities to North Dakota in the spring of 191". National Guard units were sent, a Council of National Defense was created to aid in the work of mobiliza­ tion, Liberty Bonds were sold, and the State went $200,000 over Its quota in the United War Work campaign. The World War interrupted, but did not deter, the progress of the league program. Governor Frazier was reelected in 1918, and seven initiated amendments were added to the State constitution, forming the basis for tho league program. The law for initiated petitions was changed to require only 20,000 signers; the $200,000 debt limit of the State was abolished and the State was allowed to issue or guarantee bonds not to exceed $10,000,000. The league's industrial program was established at the 1919 legislative session. The industrial commission, composed of the Governor, the Attorney General, nnd the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, was to manage the industries and enterprises undertaken by the State. Under authority of tho new legislation, the North Dakota Mill and Elevator Association was established. A small mill was purchased at Drake and later a mill and elevator were built at Gland Forks with a capacity of 3,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of 1.059,500 bushels. In the March primary of 1920 an unusual initiated measure was tbr center of interest. It was the "recall," which provided for the ro-.val of any elective officers, even judges. The measure became A.tlcle 33 of the Constitution. The elections of 1920 again saw the league vieto"' ms. In the Republi­ can primaries Dr. E. F. Ladd, president of tlu- ui.e Agricultural College, defeated Senator Gronna for the nominf'' a as United States senator. William Langer, who had been electa Attorney General in 191G with the endorsement of the league, opposed Governor Frazier in the primary and was defeated by a small margin. Frazier and Ladd were elected in November. Two important initiated measures were passed, one providing for a board of auditors to audit the accounts of the State Treasurer, the Bank ot North Dakota, and all State industries, the other amending a previous measure so that although State funds and State Institution funds, must be deposited in the Bank of North Dakota, county, township, municipal, and school district funds need not be deposited there. In 1920 deflation of the league's boom set in. The United States Supreme Court declared the grain grading law unconstitutional. The Independent Voters Association, anti-Nonpartisan, argued that the cost of government had greatly increased under the Nonpartisans. In the 1921 session of the legislature committees were appointed to Investigate. The minority of the Senate committee reported that the industrial commission NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 251

had Practiced a policy of favoritism in affairs of the Bank of North Dakota in distributing public funds to private banks, so that the bank could not at that time meet its obligations; that the commission had failed to exercise proper control ot the North Dakota Homo Builders' Association, so that its affairs were hopelessly muddled; that It had approved con­ tracts between the Drake mill and private merchants, especially the Consumers United Stores Company, a subsidiary corporation of the Non­ partisan Lengne, resulting in losses to the State; that it had approved a policy of the Bank of North Dakota by which $2.000,000 of a total of $5,200,000 in live claims against solvent banks were against 37 institutions mostly classed as "league banks" or "friendly" politically; that it had allowed officers of the bank to deposit public funds in private banks with the result that $1,400,000 of these funds were tied up in insolvent banks.

The recall was exercised for the first time In the United States against the Governor of a State. In a special election of 1921, Frazier was defeated by R. A. Nestos, Republican, a member of tho Independent Voters Association, or I. V. A.'s as they were popularly called. The other two members of the industrial commission, Attorney General Wil­ liam Lemke and Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, John Ilagan, were also recalled. But measures initiated to curtail the industrial pro­ gram failed; Governor Nestos had to administer a program to which his pnrty was opposed. Nestos was reelected in 1022. In the same elec­ tion former Governor Frazier, running for United States Senator, de­ feated J. F. T. O'Connor, Democrat, who later became comptroller of currency under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Governor Nestos was defeated by the Nonpartisan candidate Arthur G. Sorlie, in the primary of 1924 while I. V. A. Republicans won several of the State offices. Senator Ladd died in office and a Nonpartisan newspaperman, Gerald P. Nye, was appointed to fill the vacancy. When Governor Sorlie died, Walter Maddock. Lieutenant Governor, filled out the term. In 1928 George Shafer, an I. V. A., who had been Attorney General under Nestos, was elected Governor, and in 1930 he was reelected. The debt limit having been increased at various times. North Dakota's bonded debt in 1930 was estimated to be $30,357,200; $1,000,000 represented in capital stock of the Bank of North Dakota; $4,000,000 in mill and eleva­ tor construction and milling bonds; the remainder in various real estate bond series. By 1930 North Dakota's population was 080,845, more than double the figure at the opening of the century. Large foreign immigrations ac­ counted for the approximately 88 per cent rise in the 1910 census over that ot 1900 and by 1920 the figure had risen to 646,872. Statistics of the U. S. Bureau of Census show North Dakota to have been the only spring wheat State having an increase of population during the period from 1930-35. The growth has been almost entirely rural; from 1920 to 1930 no new urban centers (above 2,500) have appeared in the State. 252 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

The Stato capltol building was destroyed by tire December 28, 1930, and plans were immediately laid for building a new statehouse. A $2,000,- 000 building, unique in that it is Nrrth Dakota's only skyscraper, today stands on Bismarck's Capitol Hill. An initiative measure In the election of 1932 repealed the prohibition clause in the State constitution, making North Dakota, dry since it became a Territory, a wet State. William Langer, who had been elected Attorney General on the Non­ partisan ticket with Prazler and later was defeated as I. V. A. candidiate for Governor by Frazler, was elected Governor in 1932 once more running on the Nonpartisan ticket. The period following proved a trying one for the rural population of North Dakota. The farmers suffered because of low market prices for farm products, low land values, bank failures and crop failures. The situation was acute at the beginning of Langer's administration because many farm mortgages had been based on pre-depression valuations. Farmers feared foreclosure and the wastage of their life efforts. To prevent foreclosure Governor Langer declared various farm mort­ gage moratoriums by executive order. For a time an embargo was in effect on agricultural products, forbidding shipment of them from the State in the hope that prices would be forced up. A law enacted to extend the period of redemption on real estate mortgages was held un­ constitutional by the North Dakota Supreme Court as applied to ex­ isting mortgages. In 1933 laws were passed outlawing crop mortgages and deficiency judgment. A stormy period in State history ensued when Governor Langer was removed from office July 18, 1934 having been held disqualified under the State constitution by the supreme court because of his conviction on a Federal charge of conspiracy, arising from solicitation of contributions from State and Federal employes for support of his political newspaper. The Leader. (The Federal Courts later reversed the conviction.) Ole Olson, Lieutenant Governor, served the remainder of the term. Thomas H. Moodie, first Democratic Governor to be elected in 24 years, took office in January, 1935, only to be declared ineligible by the Supreme Court 7ebruary 2, because of insufficinet residence in the State. Walter Welforu, Nonpartisan Lieutenant Governor became acting Gov­ ernor, the fourth to occupy the gubernatorial chair in little more than six months. The legislature of 1935 created a State Planning Board to make investigations and surveys relative to the conservation and utilization of the State's natural resources, and a State Welfare Board to act as official agency of the State in any social welfare activity initiated by the Federal Government and to allocate State and Federal funds available for such purpose. The planning board has since cooperated with the Federal Government in work which has involved development of natural resources and building of dams to overcome effects of drought. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 2S3

Other legislation ot the 1935 session provided for a retail sales tax which resulted in greatly increased revenues for education and public welfare purposes, a drivers' license law, and a two-year mortgage fore­ closure moratorium. Two radical changes in public policy effected through initiated measures in 1935 were provision for manufacture, Bale, and distribution of beer, and for Sunday motion pictures. Former Governor Langer, defeated by Acting Governor Weiford for the Nonpartisan nomination for the governorship in 193G surprised opponents in both the league and other parties by polling a majority in the election, the first Governor of any State elected in the individual column on the ballot. In the same election North Dakota put liquor control in the hands of counties, municipalities and villages. Indicative of the Increasing responsibilities of State Government, the social-minded legislature ot 1937 made the largest appropriation for public welfare in the history ot the State—more than $6,100,000 for the 1937-39 biennium. John Moses of Hazen, North Dakota, was nominated by the Democrats and elected Governor at the General Election in November 1938, and assumed office January 3, 1939. The State had suffered from drouth and depression for several years and the spirit of the people was at a low ebb. Crops had been short and the farmers could not pay their taxes. Governor Moses was reelected in November 1940 and is now serving his second term. With adequate rains all over the State, the agricultural situation was greatly improved in 1941. As North Dakota is primarily a farming state the improved crop prospect is reflected in an improved business outlook. Thus we touch the high spots of the history of North Dakota from the primitive culture of the Indians down to the coming of tho North Europeans and the settling and building up of the state through the last sixty or seventy years. Compared to the history of the world our Political and economic history has been brief, but we feel that the achievements compare favorably. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

AGRICULTURE, NORTH DAKOTA'S GREATEST INDUSTRY By Math Dahl, Commissioner

The history ot the Department ot Agriculture and Labor is a record o£ early immigration and pioneer problems and of. the State's growth, development and resources during the past half century. Trends which have a bearing on the future progress of the great State of North Dakota are also indicated. The office of the Commissioner ot Immigration and

NORTH DAKOTA FARM HOME

ex-officio State statistician was the Territorial equivalent of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture and Labor, established by the constitution of North Dakota in 1889. " The department of Immigration and Statistics was organized im­ mediately after 'egislative authorization and the appointment of Com­ missioner Lauren Dunlap by the Governor on March 13, 1SS5. The Act creating the office declares that it shall be the Commissioner's duty "to look after and devise means to advance the immigration interests of Dakota (Territory) and to encourage and promote the permanent settle­ ment and improvement of all sections of the Territory. (S. L. 1885. Chap. 6C, Sec. 4) Section C of the same act provides that "The Commissioner (of Immigration) shall * * * be ex-officio territorial statistician." Chapter 137 of the 1885 Session Laws provided for gathering of farm statistics by county or township assessors. Compilation of vital statistics was also the duty of the Commissioner. The two biennial reports of t?ie Commissioner of Immigration covered the years 1885 to December 31, 1S8S. Although statistics contained in tho two reports are far from complete, it is interesting to note that a recommendation made by Commissioner Lauren Dunlap to the effect that "Assessors should be required to collect the agricultural statistics

[BEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE NORTH DAKOTA BLUB BOOK—1942 255 provided for and designated at the time of taking the regular assess­ ment • • • and make their returns to the County Clerk or Auditor of each organized County" was adopted and is the same method used today by the Department of Agriculture and Labor for the gathering and com­ piling of these statistics. The 1S85 statistics included cultivated acreages and products of 41 counties of the Territory, with a number of counties returning only partial returns. In 1SSG, 45 counties reported with only two sending in partial returns.

The following totals were listed for 1S8G:

No. Farms 23,320 Barley, acres 05,573 Buckwheat, acres S59 Cultivated hay 16,091 Corn, acres 1GS.S23 Oats, acres 384,373 Flax, acres 293,445 Rye, acres 2,971 Wheat, acres 1,190.879 Beans, acres 1.762 Potatoes, acres 12,291

Another table contains comparative statistics for 1884 and 1885 for 37 counties with several listed as incomplete. An interesting part of this report is devoted to forest trees planted and principal varieties, with 37 counties reporting. There were 25,020 trees planted in 1886; varieties having succeeded best—according to the report—Include Ash, Boxelder, Cottonwood, Elm, Maple and Willow. The organization of the Dakota Weather Service, in connection with the Immigration Office was undertaken also in 18S5. A map in the biennial shows six U. S. signal service stations scattered throughout the Territory. A table summarizes the weather report for the four seasons of 1885.

A statement made by the Commissioner deserves mention: "It may truly be said that the citizenship ot Dakota consists largely ot the best blood that flows in American veins, which In turn, through the succeeding generations brought to life on this soil, in this climate, and under these skies, is to produce the future Dakota type in man and woman." Foreign emigration during this time was small, according to the report, with the bulk of immigration having its source in the Western and Middle States. Inquiries came from almost every state and territory in the Union and from Alaska and Canada. "The outlook for the future is exceedingly bright" concludes the Commissioner In 1885.

A block diagram displayed in the report Indicates the extent of im­ migration during the year ending June 30, 1886, "and no extraordinary boom year, either like 1883" according to the explanation underneath the diagram. Four million acres or 6,250 square miles was settled in Dakota, from all sources during this period. This equals the combined area of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Commenting on the population the Commissioner has the following to offer: "Of the present population of the Territory, South Dakota has 325,000 and North Dakota 200,000 souls; figures in each instance closely resembling the requisites of State­ hood, especially when taken in connection with the splendid material and equipment of each Dakota in all other respects."

The Commissioner stresses the then importance of "Railroad Develop­ ment" in a chapter of the report under this caption and seems to think future progress depended to a large extent upon this development. "What the railroads have done for Dakota and the extent to which the future growth and prosperity of tills Territory are confided to the keeping of her railroad companies, are matters with which everybody in a general way is supposed to be thoroughly familiar." states the Commissioner, as a prologue to his report on development. In 1870 the U. S. Census did not report a mile of railroad in Dakota Territory, although the population figure stood at 14,181. On January 1, 1872 rails were laid on Dakota soil in Fargo. The total railroad mileage of Dakota completed on December 31, 18SG was 3,491 miles.

That they had vision in early Dakota days is evident from the Chapter of the report entitled "Future Needs and Plans." While immigration and problems connected with the development of a new State were of para­ mount importance at the time, the text ot the chapter Indicates that they looked forward to: "Manufacturers—the harbingers of happy homes, because promoting that diversity of interests and pursuits, which brings about a more complete harmony between the social parts of the human universe." The Commissioner thought that these "infant Industries" should be "fostered and encouraged" and that they "should properly come under the active notice of this office." NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 257

Also considered by the Commissioner was a "foreign bureau or de­ partment" to carry on work "where there are Germans. Scandinavians and people of other nationalities of the well-to-do and thrifty class desired as farmers, among whom the printed information about Dakota would take root readily and with good results.** Later history of the State indicates that these "results" were obtained and no doubt the pic­ turesque language of thu 111-.-41 Commissioner had something to do with these "good results." For the functioning of the office and the proposed activities outlined in his report the Commissioner modestly suggests that "there could be profitably employed during the ensuing two years the sum of $15,000 annually." . The second biennial report of the Department of Immigration and Statistics for 1887-S was submitted by P. F. McCIure, Commissioner. Much of this report is also taken up with matters connected with encouraging immigration, but more space is devoted to the difficulty of obtaining reliable agricultural statistics. How best to advertise Dakota to the outside world was discussed In detail in this report and advertisments similar to the following were inserted .in newspapers having a large circulation in localities "which had furnished any considerable addition to our population:" FACTS ABOUT DAKOTA. Over 24,000,000 acres free government land still vacant and subject to homestead and pre­ emption. Official maps and pamphlets descriptive of every section of the great Territory, its soil, climate, production advantages and develop­ ment—agricultural, manufacturing, commercial and mineral—the Govern­ ment land laws, etc. Reliable information sent free on application to "P. F. McCIure, Commissioner of Immigration, Bismarck, N. Dak." Ad­ vertising also took the form of "monthly bulletins"; 20,000 of these bulletins were distributed in January 1SS7, compiled and published by former Commissioner Lauren Dunlap, which contained a number of in­ teresting and well written articles, describing the growth of Dakota, the Black Hills, Public Institutions, the cause of education, together with a "Dakota Weather Service Map." In January 1, 1888 the office published 25,000 copies of a 500 page book entitled "Resources of Dakota."

In his recommendations the Commissioner stated as his firm belief "that the sum of money expended by the territory for the purpose of advancing immigration and with the view of promoting settlement and improvement" was well spent and that "the degree of usefulness to which the office may attain is bounded only by the amount appropriated for the work—provided of course that the money is judiciously expended." 258 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

NORTH DAKOTA 1-IYBrtID CORN

The Territory raised more corn in 1SS7 than the production, during the previous year, ot either the State of New York, Minnesota or Mary­ land, according to the report. The following estimate of 1SS7 crops is based upon assessors returns of acreages sown and the statements of reliable correspondents as to the yield per acre:

Acres Bushels Wheat 3,847,833 37,7C3,S47 Oats 1.111,574 30,408,585 Corn 615,055 19,008,080 Barley 197.9S2 3,811,882 Rye 16.37S 248,252 Buckwheat 3,907 50,791 Flax 329.2SS 2,963.247 Potatoes 40.982 4,679,328

The State constitution, adopted in 1SS9, provided for the election of a Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, "The powers and duties of * * * to be as prescribed by law." The law provided (approved February 17, 1890) that "it shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor to collect, systematize and present in biennial repo'rts to the legislature, statistical details relating to all labor departments of the state, such as hours and wages of labor, etc." These statistics were classified by this act to include: Agriculture, mining, transportation, clerical and other skilled and unskilleu labor, the amount of cash capital invested in land6, buildings, etc., the number, age, sex and condition of persons employed and the same for the unemployed; sanitary conditions in work shops, etc., the number and condition of Chinese in the State and their social and sanitary habits, etc., employment statistics of Penal and reform institutions and "all such other information in relation to

{BEST OR ONLY COPV AVAILABLEI NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1842 259

labor as the Commissioner may deem essential to further the objects sought to be attained by the statutes." The Commissioner was also required to mediate strikes and lockouts when requested to do so. To advance immigration interests of the state was another duty imposed upon the Commissioner. As State statistician the Commissioner was required to obtain statip- ttcs from County and Township assessors and to "collate and preiiure in tnbulated form" these figures relative to acreages and crop production, "and all other information pertaining to and showing the condition, growth and development of the State by Counties." Anothet section of the act declared the Commissioner ex-officio Dairy Commissioner. The first biennial report of the first Commissioner of Agrciulture and Labor (H. T. Helgesen) contains an interesting section devoted to the adaptability of North Dakota soil and climate to the growing of sugar beets. E. J. Babcock, Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy in the University of North Dakota, made soil tests and submitted a report "that there are great possibilities before the State in the sugar Industry." Coal and clay samples were also analyzed by Professor Babcock at this time. Only S.500 tons of coal were mined annually, when this report was compiled. Thirty counties made returns on crop reports for 1S90 with acreage reported by assessors and the yields per acre are estimates of the crop correspondents. The following table gives the yields for principal crops reported and estimated.

Thirty Counties Reported Eight Counties Estimated

Of the $2,500 appro­ priated, there was expended the sum of $1,3S5.S5. Improvement in accuracy of agricultural statistics was noted in the biennial report for 1891-2 by Commissioner Helgesen, although results were not in all respects satisfactory; especially was the accuracy of the footings questioned. These footings are now obtained at the Com­ missioner's office, through the use of adding machines. According to the 1891-2 report the 1891 yield of wheat was 5S,323,095 bushels oh 2,- 847,335 acres. The total number of acres in crops, including tame grasses, remained about the same for the two years: 3,683,163 in 1S91 260 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

and 3,605,013 in 1892. The value of the wool clip increased from $503,877 in 1890 to 1,084,386 in 1891. There were 27,102 farms in the State in 1S92 with 4,051,985 acres under cultivation.

KILL-DEER MOUNTAIN ROUND UP, 1941

It is interesting to note that under "industrial statistics" there was at this time listed eight brick yards, potteries and lime kilns; twelve cigar factories; thirty-two harness and saddlery shops and four saw mills. Also interesting is another table showing $463.21 as an average yearly wage with one hundred twenty-one establishments reporting. The Commissioner states in this report that labor statistics are far from complete and that it is entirely impractical to attempt to gather informa­ tion on such subjects through the assessors and that the correspondence method is not dependable when used alone. Neither did the Commissioner seem to meet with much success in securing the cooperation of the Knights of Labor in obtaining labor statistics, but with the Typographi­ cal Union "a greater degree of success was met." Reports were received from two of these unions, one of them reporting (in 1S92) that it had already been in operation for nine years. The report concluded with a short article on prison labor and an exhaustive report of North Dakota clays, by Professor E. J. Babcock of the State University. The third biennial report (November 1, 1S92 to June 30, 1894, Nelson Williams, Commissioner) is almost exclusively devoted to agricultural statistics. In the series of tables are given the acreages, total yield and average yield per acre of the different crops by Counties for a period of six years, from 1S8S to 1S93 inclusive. In commenting on these statistics, the Commissioner states that: "The acreage of wheat appears to slowly increase from year to year, notwithstanding considerable sentiment each year in favor of reducing it * * * but the areas of other crops show an increase materially greater than wheat." The Commissioner also states that "The showing made by these tables is not quite fair to the State for the reason that they begin at the beginning of a series of poor crops, and only one first-class yield is included in the entire period of six years."

Almost a half of the report Is devoted to the "Cost of Producing Wheat," obtained by sending out questionnaires to farmers throughout the State. The next biennial report available (1897-1898, Henry U. Thomas, Com­ missioner) seems to indicate the beginning of ideas relative to a change in agricultural methods In North Dakota. "While it is admitted" states the commissioner, "that North Dakota has attracted attention by pro­ ducing a wheat that is a grade unto itself—No. 1 Hard—famous now all over the civilized world as making the best flour known" he also states in another section of the report that "The success in raising live stock has become so satisfactory that every farmer is providing himself with as many cattle, horses, sheep and hogs as he can obtain." A considerable part of the report is devoted to the livestock Industry. There were 3,03S,0S1 acres of wheat sown In 1S96, yielding 30,803,321 bushels.

The Sth and 9th biennial reports of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor (ending June 30, 190G, W. C. Gilbrealh, Commissioner) were combined in one volume. "All branches of industry have improved in a remarkable degree during the years covered by the report" is the verdict of the Commissioner but marketing problems seem to be indicated in another statement: "No state can attain greatness unless it is in com­ munion wi'.h the shipping centers of the world. The great drawback to many parts of North Dakota has been due to isolation, and inability to market her products at a minimum cost." In connection witlt this we can state that North Dakota now ranks second in the number of- farmers'

There were 54,443 farms in the State in 1906, with 9,495,682 acres under cultivation. Mention is made in the report of North Dakota exhibits at Wisconsin and Illinois State fairs and favorable comments made by newspapers in these states. The tenth biennial report (1907-190S, "W. C. Gilbreath, Commissioner) contains cuts of typical agricultural and industrial scenes of the State. There were according to the report, 61,324 farms with 9,890,900 acres under cultivation. 5,151,089 was in wheat, yielding 72,534,821 bushels. There were 46 mines in the State mining 303,025 tons of coal. In the introductory passage of the eleventh biennial report (also by Commissioner Gilbreath ending June 30, 1910) Is a comment to the effect that the period covered "has been one of unexampled prosperity for the State of North Dakota. Several causes have contributed to these desirable conditions * * * the realization by dwellers in other states of the great opportunities offered in North Dakota * * * and the prolific yield garnered by the farming population." According to the report North Dakota headed the list of spring wheat states with the enormous output of more than 93,000,000 bushels. The Commissioner finds commendable, however, "a healthy diversification of crops among our agriculturists." Another exhibit "one of the most elaborate" was sent to the corn exposi­ tion at Omaha, Nebraska. A weekly crop report during the growing season was an innovation introduced by the department In 1909. The Hth biennial report (ending .Tune 30, 1916) "covers the most prosperous and satisfactory period of years from an agricultural stand­ point In the history of the Commonwealth" according to Commissioner R. F. Flint. "The government figures for 1915 place the all wheat yield on North Dakota at 151,970,000 bushels and the yield of other small grains in comparison * * * gives us the honorable distinction of bring the greatest wheat producing state in the world," further states commis­ sioner. The report mentions a campaign of publicity V ,vn as "North Dakota Appreciation Week" under the auspices ^ .ie North Dakota Press Association. Mention is also made of securing of a Federal labor agent to work in conjunction with the department and that the stock brand department—an allied agency—had established the most complete system of brand records *'i the United States. The 15th and 16th biennial report ending June 30, 1920 (John N. Hagan, Commissioner) wa:. considered by Commissioner Hagnn "more important economically than any former two-year period" and that North Dakota's contribution to the world's food supply of 105,672,000 bushels of wheat from an acreage of 7,700,000 "more than fulfilled the obliga­ tions Imposed upon her during this strenuous eighteen months." Land tenancy increasing at an alarming rate is noted in the report. The Commissioner was appointed Federal Director of Labor for North Dakota and a good beginning was made toward establishing a state employment service. Recommendations contained in the report included utilization by the NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 263

State, In the manufacture of brick and tile, of extensive deposits of clay "to enable it (the State) to engage in such manufacture and sale of the product to farmers of North Dakota at cost." AIBO recommended was the creating of a cost commission whose duty it would be to Investigate the cost ot production of the various agricultural products of North Da­ kota. Included in the recommendations was that a bill be introduced at the next legislative session to establish a State Free Employment Service and that all paid agencies be licensed by the State. The biennial reports from June 30, 1922 to July 1, 1930 were compiled by Joseph A. Kitchen, Commissioner during this period. In the words of the Commissioner (in the 18th Biennial report) "This report reveals the agricultural trend at this time In the State; especially during the past year there has been a widespread feeling throughout the State that,' to insure a safer farming status and to stabilize ugrarian interests, there should be a greater diversification in our future system of farming." Mention is made in the same report of "agriculutral hard­ ships and adversities" which no doubt accounts for the "trend toward a more balanced farm program." In the report submitted by John Husby. Commissioner for the periods ending June 30, 1932 and 1934, we find an interesting report In regard to progress of the beekeeping Industry (by .T. A. Munro) to the effect that this industry increased from 70S hives in 1920 to 32,000 hives in 1934. The report also informs us that there were 1,483 silos in 1931. Com­ missioner Husby mentions the great demand for statistical information from within the state and from other states. The period between 1934 and 1936 (Theodore Martell, Commissioner) marked changes in the Department of Agriculture and Labor. Coal mining reports were discontinued; the Minimum Wage Department was transferred from the Workmen's Compensation Bureau to the Department of Agriculture and Labor; a Labor Division was created by the legislature and placed in the Department; the North Dakota State Employment Service reporting in this biennial functioned in cooperation with the Federal Government under the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act. During the period from July 1, 193G to June 30, 1938 John N. Hagan was again elected to head the Department. The Commissioner's biennial report contains compiled agricultural statistics and reports ot the Dairy Department, Labor Department, Minimum Wage Department and the Division of Brands. A descriptive folder was issued by the Department for the purpose of advertising the State to tourists. The last biennial report issued for the period ending June 30, 1940. Math Dahl, Commissioner, ends the written history of the Department of Agriculture and Labor. One new division appears in the report, the Cooperative Division. The State Employment Service was transferred to tee Workmen's Compensation Bureau. The number of tractors on farms and the number, time employed and wages of hired farm help became a part of agricultural statistics during this period. There were 4,354,483 acres of spring wheat harvested in 2G4 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

1938 yielding 30.945,874 bushels. Durum wheat ran a close second with 2,102,909 acres harvested, yielding 21,984,17S bushels. Livestock, swine, sheep and poultry figures indicate a healthy increase.

In his letter of transmittal Commissioner Dahl emphasizes that he considers it poor economy "for the legislature to curtail appropriations for the Department of Agriculture and Labor as this department is one of the most important departments of the State and represents the Interests of all the people of the State." Also recommended by the Commissioner is the establishment of a Bureau of Markets within Ihe Department which Was later established by the 1941 legislature.

THRESHING SCENE—OLD STEAMER OUTFIT

*KNOW YOUR NORTH DAKOTA Natural Resources The chief resources of North Dakota lie in her broad almost unbroken stretches of fertile soil, made suitable for diversified farming by a favor­ able climate; her great beds of lignite coal, and her clay deposits, both capable of tremendous development. Soil: The Bureau of Soils, United States Department of Agriculture makes this terse statement: "North Dakota—soil black, continuous, highly productive." The soil is very fertile, and shows no deficiency of any element necessary for crop production. Nitrogen, potash, phosphorus, and lime are present in sufficient quantities. The high lime content especially m»iies the land suitable for ltjuimes, particularly alfalfa and sweet clover. Plowing to a sufficient depth, rotation of crops, including in­ tertilled ones, and an occasional return to the land of its elements in the form of manu.o and plowing down the legumes keep the land rich. The texture and depth of the soil vary somewhat with the location. The Red River soils, sediment of old Lake Agasslz, are from ten to forty inches deep, black and fine in texture with a heavier subsoil. There is a small amount of land with too much alkaline content. The land fs generally level and It has been necessary to put In some drainage ditches. The drift plain has soil somewhat lighter in texture and from eight to fourteen inches deep with a relatively heavy clay subsoil. Since the surface Is rolling there is generally good drainage. The soil of the Missouri plateau varies. That to the east is the same as that of the glacial plain, the drift from the glacier having been carried some distance. Along the river beds the soil is very fertile and Is made up of deposits made during the flood periods. West of the

Missouri most o£ tho land is made up of residual soil, that is soil made from the decomposition of rock and vegetation. The Bad Lands are frequently bare of any surface soil, that having been washed into the valleys and depressions and making fertile soils there. Since these areas are limited and broken, grazing is the best industry for the Bad Land section. Minerals: While minerals of various kinds, even gold, have been found in North Dakota, they are evidently in such small quantities as to indicate that they were carried in by the glacier. "It seems fairly certain from the geological structure of North Dakota that no metallic minerals of commercial importance lie hidden in the rocks, and there are a number of non-metallic minerals which would have considerable commercial valuo If they occurred in sufficient quantity to pay to mine them." Calcium carbonate of which limestone is a form, for example, is very common, but is important as a fertilizer mixed nnturally in the soil rather as a deposit for commercializing.

Coal: The western port of North Dakota lies in part of tbe largest lignite coal deposit in the world. The United States Geological Survey states that probably only Wyoming exceeds North Dakota in quantity. The tonnage is estimated at approximately 60u billion. Montana and Colorado follow with 381 and 317 billion tons respectively. West Virginia and Pennsylvania, the largest eastern producers of coal, each have about one-fourth as much as North Dakota. They have of course different varieties. Asia alone has more coal than North Dakota. The seams most commonly worked appear at from fifty to two hundred feet below the surface and vary in thickness from seven to twenty feet. A ton of lignite is equal in fuel value to one-half to two-thirds of a ton of eastern bitumin­ ous or anthracite coal. While lignite is used extensively in the western part of the state, its use is being rapidly extended to the east because of its quantity, accessi­ bility, and price. Clay: Clays are second only in extent and economic value to the coal deposits. They are situated in tbe same part of the state as the coal, a fact that will be conducive to the establishment of factories using clay. The clay varies in quality from common brick clay to that suitable for the making of the finest pottery. An analysis of clay taken from the beds shows in its raw state practically the same composition as that

BEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE! 268 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1042 artificially mixed for the eastern pottery factories. These clays are adapted for and are being used in the manufacture of brick, terracotta, paving brick, fire brick, drain tile, stone ware, sewer pipe, earthen ware, and tho highest grade or art pottery. The increase in population of the state, and the establishment of more industries will tend to develop this resource, which has been merely touched because of the high freight rutes and distance from market and centers of population. Gas: There are some indications of gas and oil in the western part of the state, but nothing has as yet developed. Just across the Montana line is the Baker field, a large producer, which supplies many North Dakota towns with natural gas. This field lies partly in North Dakota. Bentonite: A deposit of bentonite estimated at 400,000 tons has been discovered near Medoru. This Is a clay-like mineral used in the manu­ facture of paint, rubber, soap, dynamite, etc. Construction material: North Dakota is well supplied with a good grale of sand for concrete, gravel for road surfacing and construction work, stone, especially sandstone for minor building purposes, and in the western Part of the state, scoria for road making.

Woodland: While North Drkola has a comparatively small area In native timber, relatively less than any state in the union, it is never-the- less a valuable resource. The native groves and those planted on almost every farm and flourishing in every town afford protection and encourage­ ment to bird life, temper the heat and glare of the sun. afford beauty Tor everyone, and if properly conserved and cut will furnish a valuable wood supply. One ot the finest things that the government did when op-ning the country to settlers was to allow an additional quarter section for a "tree claim," provided that the person filing and proving up on the land

BEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 2G9 plant ten acres to trees. One may see flourishing groves scattered throughout the state, not near buildings, but out in the open fie'd. "At the Present time the artificially planted Plots far exceed the nativs forests of the state both in abundance and in value." While the native timber has been very little cut into lumber, it was freely used whenever accessible for the rirst buildings on the home­ stead. It is still used for cattle sheds, fence posts, and fuel. Grasses: The state was once covered with wild grasses of many kinds. There is still much native prairie grass in hay fields and pastures and on the western ranges and hiils. The eastern part of the state has many varieties of long grass, such as the blue grass and the Indian grasc, which gradually give place in the west to the shorter prairie gras-, grama, buffalo, and others. They are all high in nutritive value. The western plants are more hardy and offer less edible pasturage than the eastern plants, as they are of a character to resist erosion and drought. They are somewhat less vivid in color. Flowers: In spite of the comparative sameness of conditions there is a great variety of wild tijwers. some common to the state and others found only in certain localities. "The total number of seed plants and ferns for the s'.ate is about 1,000. The greatest part of these are common plants of wide distribution."

Lakes: Contrary to general opinion, North Dakota has many lakes, many more than are shown on the largest maps. Varying in size from

|BEST OR ONLY COPT AVAILABLE 270 NORTH DAKOTA BLUB BOOK—1942

Devils Lake, the largest, to the small treeless lakes which change in size with the rainfall. It is not possible to give here anything but the merest suggestion of their number, kind, and distribution. All of the lakes of North Dakota are of morainic origin, that is, they are basins made by glacial or ice action except a few in the western part which are from ox-bows ot the rivers. They occur throughout the state except in " the Red River and Moilse River valleys and west of the Missouri. Some of the lakes lie in shallow or deep depressions formed in the glacial drift left by the melting ice. Others, and th-ise are the largest, such as Devils Lake, Stump Lake, .Tim, and Arrow Wood Lake, were formed by the damming up of the streams by drift from the glacier. The water supply is regulated by the rainfall, which is approximately equal to the evaporation. Little watei* is lost by seepage since the basins are usually of a clay formation rather impervious to moisture. Many of the lakes are alkaline. Notable among these are Devils Lake and Stump Lake, once connected with it. This alkaline condition Is caused by the fact that the lakes have no outlets, the constant flow of water and removal by evaporation leaving accumulations of alkaline salts.

Water Supply Artesian Wells: Over a large part of North Dakota artesian or flowing wells have been bored. These wells are from a few hundred to 1,500 feet deep. The deeper ones find the water supply in the layer of Dakota sandb'.one which brings it from the foot-hills of the Rocky Mountains. It is not always possible, of course, to obtain an artesian well, as the sandstone may sometimes be hard and compact. The Devils Lake well is 1,151 feet, Jamestown is 1,470 feet, Ellendale 1,087 feet. These wells are usually somewhat salty or alkaline depending on the quality of rock and subsoil the water lias passed through. In the Red River Valley another kind of flowing well is obtained at a depth of 40 to 250 feet which yields fresh water and which derives its supply from sand and gravel In the glacial drift, and not from the Dakota sandstone stratum. In the Little Missouri basin there is a similar condition, the wells being four o>- five hundred feet deep. Artesian wells should not be drilled if there is any other adequate water supply, and wells already drilled should be controlled, as there is need to conserve this important resource, which has already been carelessly drained. Common Wells: Almost anywhere in the state surface wells with an excellent quality of water may be secured from 15 to 75 feet. North Dakota is well supplied with resources for water from rivers, the fresh water lakes, dammed-up coulees, artesian and common wells. Climate In all parts of the state there are extremes of temperature. Neither cold or heat is as keenly felt as in places where there is greater humidity. The climate is very healthful and on the whole delightful. It is con- NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 271 ducive to high productivity as the long sunshiny days and cool nights contribute to rapid growth. The cool nights in the summer following even very hot days temper the heat and prevent too rapid evaporation. By reason of her long days and twilights North Dakota gains approxi­ mately 200 hours, or twenty ten-hour days, more nunshine during the growing season than Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowu. The arverage rate of wind per hour covering a period of twenty-five years is: Huron, South Dakota, 116/10 miles; Minneapolis and St. Paul 117/11; Chicago, 151/10; North Dakota, 9 7/11.

Health North Dakota is one of the most healthful states in the Union. The average death rate since its admission to the Federal Registration Area in 1934 is 7.7. The infant and maternal death rates of any county or locality are properly considered to be an index to the general standard of living and progression of its people.

Occupation and Products North Dakota is the most exclusively agricultural state in the Union, although industries are increasing rapidly. Farming too, while it has undergone great changes toward diversification, is still preponderantly given to small grain production.

Wheat: Wheat is :hc crop that first made North Dakota famous. It is still her major crop. North Dakota stands first in the production of spring wheat and produces one-seventh of the wheat in the United ' States. The quality is superior as it is of a very high protein content and is used with soft winter wheat in the milling of flour. North Dakota is exceeded only by Kansas in the production of all wheat and sometimes she stands highest. f

Flax is the second important cash crop in the state. North Dakota produces approximately one-half of the flax in the United States (for linseed oil.; Parley is an increasingly important feed and. cash crop. The past ten years have seen a steady increase in acreage.

Oats of a high quality are produced readily. Their chief use is for feeding purposes locally.

Rye has increased rapidly in acreage, standing fhst in arraign and production in the United States. This is a popular crop as it is largely sown in the fall and so relieves the rush of spring work.

Corn in such amounts and quality as to place North Dakota in the "corn belt" is being produced throughout the state for silage and feeding purposes, ninety-two per cent being consumed by livestock locally. Prior to the coming of the white man, corn was the chief crop and the only cereal raised by the Indians. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—11)42 272

Soy Beans. Like corn, soy beans is gradually increasing and becoming a valuable North Dakota crop, both for its forage, hay and grain value.

A J-1HLD OF SOY BEANS

Potatoes are becoming an increasingly valuable crop both from the standpoint of production and rotation for clean cultivation. Growing seed for the southern states Is an important part of the potato Industry. Under regulations of the State Seed Commissioner ut the Agricultural College it is fairly easy to grow certified potatoes which command a premium.

Sugar Beets: While some sugar beets have been raised in the state during past years, the acreage lias increased since the opening of the million-and-a-half dollar factory of the American Sugor Beet Company in East Grand Forks in 1.926. The first year 200,000 one hundred pound bugs of sugar were produced. North Dakota is well adapted both in soil anil climate to become one of the great sugar beet producing sections of the country. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—11)42 273

Hay: Tame hay includes sweet clover, alfalfa, timothy, brome grass, millet, and red top. The clover and alfalfa have become favorites, how­ ever, because they yield more heavily and being leguminous crops con­ tribute nitrogen to the soil. Field peas and soy beans are being grown successfully in some places. Dairying: The dairy cow is improving In quality and hence in pro­ duction. Through cream testing and association work carried on In cooperation between the Agricultural College and the State Dairy Depart­ ment the low producing cow is being eliminated. More and more butter fat is being sold rather than churned on the farm. For the year ending -Tune 30, 1030, 42,200,1GS pounds of butter fat were marketed through cream stations for $15,!>3n,S22. Much of this was made into butter in the eighty creameries in the state. Beef Cattle exceed dairy cattle in numbers and are successfully raised because of the nutritious prairie grasses and abundance of tamo hay. There are many fine herds of Shorthorn, Hereford, and Aberdeen-Airbus throughout the state. The two local packing plants provide a convenient market for a large number. Swine fluctuate in numbers from year to year according to price, but they produce a good income, and are steadily Improving in quality. Sheep are increasing rapidly and are well distributed over the state. The expense of producing sheep and wool is comparatively low and at present sheep raising is the most profitable single enterprise in tho farm business. Poultry Is always a steady source of income, but it is relatively small in ''omparison to other sources of income when sales alone are considered. Turkeys have increased rapidly of late years. North Dakota is well adapted to raising them as the combination of climate and largo grain fields make their production comparatively easy and cheap.

Bees: The bee-keeping industry in North Dakota has made almost unbelievable progress. It 1ms developed from 70S hives in 1920 to approxi­ mately 32,500 hives in 1929. The honey crop for 1929 was estimated at 4,222,500 pounds. The averuge production- of honey per hive for the same period was 133 pounds. In this respect North Dakota leads all other Gtates, and the quality is excellent as it is largely produced from sweet clover nectar. Coal Mining: In 1929, 193 licensed mines produced 1,927,471 tons or lignite. The 3,179 men employed received as wages.$.1,245,745. The great impetus to tho coal mining industry in this stale came during the war. In 191C, SI. mines produced 414,940 tons. A thirteen-year period shows an increase of 215%. Brlquetting of Lignite: A method of briquetting lignite was worked out by E. J. Babcock, Dean of the School of Mines, who did valuable work in search1"*; out and developing the mineral resources of the state. In 192S a briquetting plant costing a million dollars was put into operation at the mine at Lehigh near Dickinson. This plant is the first American installation of the low temperature carbonization of lignite coal, a development of the Lurgi Corporation of Germany, which has had many years successful experience in the briquetting of lignite. Dakalite: An investigation begun by L. P. Dove of the School of Mines at the University in 1919 resulted in the discovery of a use for lignite slack. Dakalite is the name given to a filler and stain for finishing wood, fiber, and reed. The plant is situated at a large lignite coal field at Burlington near Minot where the accessability to the material from which the product is made and to fuel enables the pro­ ducers to turn out an inexpensive but superior stain, which promises to become an important product of the state. Dakonite: A product made from bentonite, a soapy, clay-like deposit, used as a base for cosmetics, soaps, insulators, paints, etc. The mineral is In process of development at Medora. Packing Plants: The dream or the Marquis de Mores to prepare meat for market at its source of production has come true forty years after he established his packing plant at Medora. Two packing plants are being successfully operated in the state and draw most of their stock from the farmers of the surrounding territory, who sell direct to the plant and ship either by truck or carload. The Armour Company in West Fargo did the following business in 1930 as reported by the manager: Slaughters per week, 3,000 to 30,000 hogs; 4G0 to 700 cattle; 400 to S0(l calves; 500 to 2,500 sheep. The employees average 250, and the payroll $6,000 per week. In I i'2S they paid out for stock $7,000,000. The Northern'Packing Plant at Grand Forks is owned by stockholders in the state. It has a site of 110 acres with :i floor space of more than four acres, and t he puns can accommodate SO carloads at one time. The capacity per week is: 1,000 hogs, 150 cattle, 50 calves and 115 sheep. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—3942 275

It employs 150 men and women. A full line of "Sweet Clover" and "Wild Rose," meats and by-products is manufactured. Milling: The State Mill and Elevator at Crand Forks has a milling capacity of 4,000 barrels of flour per day, a storage capacity of 2,500,000 bushels, and a flour warehouse capacity of 20,000 barrels of flour. There are eighteen privately owned mills well scattered throughout the state which in 1929 together with the state mill milled 1,227,741. barrels of flour. Bakeries: The amount of bread made outside of the home is in­ creasing so rapidly that factory making of bread is becoming an Important industry. Bakers' and millers' associations estimate that 90% of the bread Is baked in bakeries, while S4% of the cake is still made at home. Almost every town of any size has its "bake shop," and the large estab­ lishments are turning out great quantities of bread and pastries. Brick and Tile: There are six large brick and tile factories in the state. Tho Hebron Brick Company makes about 2,500,000 high grade facing bricks and 1,000,000 tile of various sizes in a season of approxi­ mately eight months. The Red River Valley Brick Company makes about 0,000,000 bricks per season. The Dickinson Fire and Pressed Brick Company makes about 2,000,000 bricks und 500,000 tiles a season. Creameries: In 1940 there were 111 creameries in which over 52 million pounds cf butter fat were used. This butter fat was sold directly to the creameries or marketed through the 1,400 to 1,500 cream stations. Candy: Then are two large candy factories in the state besides many local ones. The Congress Candy Company of Grand Forks has a normal output or a million pounds a year, about two tons for every working day. The principal ingredient is beet sugar which is used exclusively and purchased from the local plant. North Dakota consumes about two-thirds it the output. Nurseries: There a'e in the state nineteen inspected nurseries sending out large amounts of home grown trees, shrubs, and plants. The law requires that shipments of nursery stock into the state bear certificates of inspection, and authorizes the inspection of nurseries under the direction or the Director of the Experiment Station at Fargo. Seed: The state is developing rapidly a large sale for seed outside of the state, both through seed houses and buyers who come into the state. Potato seed is highly valued. Clover and alfalfa seed are widely sold. Fur Farms: Conditions in North Dakota are especially favorable for the production of Taney furs, the silver-black rox having proved par­ ticularly satisfactory and profitable. All kinds of fur rarms, including niuskrat and mink, are increasing. In 1917 the first silver-black fox arm was established. In 1929 seventy-two were registered with the secretary of the association with over a million dollars worth of fur- bearing animals within their enclosures. Radio: The radio Is a constantly increasing source of communication. The Dakota Farmer estimates that there are 119,000 sets in North Dakota. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—3942 27G

77% owned by Farmers. There are eight broadcasting stations in North

Dakota. Railroads: There are four lines of railroad in the state giving trans­ continental service. The Northern Pacific and the Great Northern are responsible for the rapid opening of the territory in the 70's and the SO's. They with the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Sault St. Marie commonly called the Soo, largely provide the transportation facilities for the state. The Chicago, Milwaukoe, and St. Paul and Pacific helps serve the Red River Valley south of Fargo and the southwestern corner of the state. Roads: North Dakota has a well planned program of road-improve­ ment which already provides completed highways throughout the state north and south, east and west. Individual counties are constructing graded and sometimes surfaced roads to connect with these and to provide good roads within the county. Bus Lines: Bus lines connect various cities of the state and neigh­ boring states by regular service over the highways. Air Ports: With the rapidly developing airplane, a number of cities have established air ports. There i« air-mail service in Minot, Grand Forks. Fargo and Bismarck, Bridges: Many fine bridges have been constructed as a part of the highway system over the smaller rivers and the coulees. In addition there are five splendid bridges over the Missouri and the Little Missouri, which until tho construction of the Memorial Bridge in 1920-22 had been crossed in North Dakota only by means of ferries. COOPERATION IN NORTH DAKOTA By Harold V. Kniqht North Dakota has long been among the leading states in the devel­ opment of cooperative enterprises, particularly in the marketing of farm commodities. In recent years the growth of cooperative i.unaasing of petroleum products and other farm supplies has been spectacular. Like­ wise the program of cooperative education carried on tho past 1"> years by a general farm organization sponsoring farm cooperatives, the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America. North Dakota Division, has attracted widespread attention among cooperative leaders In the United States and abroad. While there are a few consumer cooperatives or semi-cooperative associations doing business primarily with towns people the great bulk of cooperative activities is carried on among farmers. Studies of cooperatives in the state, made by the Farm Credit Administration, the U. S. Census Bureau, the Experiment Station of the North Dakota Agri­ cultural College, and farm organizations, deal exclusively with coopera­ tives the major portion of whose business is done with farmers. The North Dakota Division of Cooperatives, however, has compiled statistics from all cooperatives which have filed corporation reports with the secretary of wlafo. In some cases ihe reports are incomplete, a NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—-1942 277

few known cooperatives have failed to file reports, and very often the reports are for fiscal periods that vary widely from the calendar year designated. The accompanying table, while not wholly complete, gives a statistical picture of the extent of the cooperative movement in North Dakota and Its growth during the years from 1937 to .1940. According to the 1940 census, 24.8S8 farmers, approximately one-third of the total, reported that they either bought or sold, or both, through cooperative channels. Of these farmers 20,541 reported marketing co­ operatively and 19,019 reported cooperative purchasing. In addition 13,463 reported using cooperative services. In 1937 North Dakota ranked fifth among the states in the number of cooperative organizations and fourteenth in the number of members. Principal types of marketing cooperatives found In the state are grain elevators, creameries and cream-buying stations, livestock shipping and trucking associations, poultry marketing associations, wool pools, and potato warehouses. Purchasing cooperatives include oil associations, most of which handle more or less general farm supplies and automotive and household hardware, and general and grocery stores, feed, seed and hatchery associations. Service cooperatives cover a wide variety of activities; cold storage locker plants, credit unions, life, automobile, and fire insurance companies, rural electrification cooperatives, mutual telephone companies. Tills classification as to type of cooperative is not loo rigid, for most elevators also sell coal, twine, feeds and other supplies as a side­ line, and some service co-ops have merchandising departments. In the 1937 survey of North Dakota cooperatives made jointly by the Farm Credit Administration and the North Dakota Agricultural College Experiment Station, were listed 57S active cooperative associations, including 316 elevators, 112 livestock shipping associations, 93 oil asso­ ciations, 20 creameries, 1C cream shipping associations, six wool pools, four potato associations, six potato warehousing associations and five miscellaneous. Since 1937 a large number of cooperative elevators, and several oil, store, trucking, creamery, and livestock shipping associations have been organized, many with the aid of participating loans made to low-income farmers by the Farm Security Administration. Although the cooperative movement has made its most notable strides the past few years in North Dakota, cooperative activity goes back almost as far as statehood. The oldest cooperative elevator still in operation, according to the survey made by the Farm Credit Administration and the North Dakota Agricultural College in 1937, is the Emerado Farmers Cooperative Ele­ vator Co. of Emerado, in Grand Forks County, which was organized in 1890. Another among the oldest cooperatives of the state which is still going strong is the Scandinavian Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com­ pany of Bottineau County, organized in 1S9-1 among farmers who had been members of mutual fire insurance companies in Norway. 278 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

Tho earliest cooperatives had little or no educational program to acquaint the members with the principles and methods of the coopei*ative movement. While the farmers recognized the conditions which made cooperative activity necessary, each association was left largely to its own resources and experimentation. The same mistakes were made over and over again, because there was no central organization were one cooperative might benefit from the experiences of the rest. Many of the co-ops failed. Others that were successful lost their cooperative features because the original members, some of whom had often moved away or quit farming, came to look upon the cooperative as a profitable Investment rather than an association in which all active patrons should participate. Whilo both the American Society of Equity and the Farmers Edu­ cational and Cooperative Union of America, commonly known as the Farmers Union, had an organisation in the state prior to 191G, neither survived the political upheaval and the first World War. Thy Equity became almost wholly a marketing organization and while the Farmers Union had a number of locals which met regularly and a few cooperative buying clubs It carried on no educational program as today. With the rechartering of North Dakota as a state division of the National Fnrn.-ers Union in 192G. brought about by a merger of the American Society of Equity, the National Producers Alliance, "and the Farmers Union, cooperative education through an organization that could sponsor and advise local cooperatives accelerated the development of the movement. Through the monthly meetings of the members in community locals, the young people's program of classes, camps, and institutes, and the press and radio, the farmers have become acquainted with the aims, purposes, and methods of cooperative enterprise. With such an organized program to promote the understanding and expansion of cooperatives, failures of associations due to ignorance of cooperative principles or unsound methods have been so reduced as to be almost negligible. The young people's, or the Farmers Union Junior, program has received wide recognition throughout the nation as a significant devel­ opment in rural life. Tho problem that besets so many of ihe older cooperatives—that of a younger generation growing up without the knowledge of the circumstances which prompted the original members to organize the cooperative, and the obstacles they had to overcome are being met by this youth program of cooperative education.

GRAIN MARKETING An estimated one-third of the grain sold by tho farmer* in the 19S6 crop year was handled by cooperative associations. Probably '•'••> tc 40 per cent of the grain marketed commercially was handled by cooperatives. According to a general survey made in 1937 by the F. C. A., grain cooperatives led all other types of farmers' marketing cooperatives in number of associations and patrons. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 279

North Dakota ranks second in the number of farmers' grain and cooperative associations, with 31 li such associations to its credit. Illinois ranks first with 342 associations, according to the 1937 survey. Recognizing that local cooperative elevators could not deal with abuses that had their roots in the terminal markets, the Equity Cooperative Exchange was organized in Moor-head in 1908 as a marketing branch of the American Society of Equity, and incorporated with its main office at Fargo in 1911. Written large in the history of farmers' efforts to cooperate is the story of how it was denied a seat on the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, subjected to the court battle of 391» at Fargo, in which charges of insolvency were finally dismissed, and forced into an operating receivership in 1923 just before the Federal Trade Com­ mission at Washington issued its order directing the Minneapolis Cham­ ber of Commerce to "forever cense und desist" from interfering with or injure or destroy the business or reputation of the Equity. The fight for cooperative grain marketing on the terminal market was carried forward by the organization of the Farmers Union Terminal Association in 1926, with the creditors of the "old equity" exclun^ing their claims for preferred stock in the new cooperative. By 1930 the Farmers Union Terminal Association, with headquarters in St. Paul, had become the largest cooperative grain marketing organiza­ tion in the country, marketing approximately 15,000,000 bushels annually. Approximately half of this volume originated in North Dakota. One im­ portant reason for this growth v. as the successful campaign made the cooperatives In 192S to procure premiums for the protein content .if grain. From 1931 to 193$ the Farmers Union Terminal Association was a member of the Farmers National Grain Corporation, sponsored by the Federal Farm Board. While drouth and this experiment with govern­ ment-financed marketing on a national scale, temporarily put cooperative grain marketing in the shadows, it was during this time that the Com­ modity Exchange Act, which forbids any commodity market or exchange to discriminate against cooperatives, was passed. With the dissolution of Farmers. National and the reorganization and merger of the Farmers Union Terminal Association and the Northwest Grain Association, the only other cooperative operating on the Minne­ apolis market, as the Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association, coopera­ tive marketing of grain became more firmly established than ever before. In the- fiscal year ending May 31, 1941, this regional grain cooperative handled approximately 2S million bushels of grain and made net earnings of over $240,000. Approxiummly one-half of this volume originated in North Dakota from the cooperative elevators affiliated with the regional.

COOPERATIVE CREAMERIES The oldest cooperative creamery in the state, according to W. J. Murphy, state dairy commissioner, now operating. Is the Farmers Union Cooperative Association of Maddock which celebrated its 2'ith anniversary 280 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1 942 in 1040. There were some cooperative creamery plants built in North Dakota tie early as 1SS7 and 1SS8, but most of these early dny plants were promoted by machinery salesmen and were abandoned because of insufficient business. Most of the 2G cooperative creameries operating at present In the state were organized between 1928 to 1980. Most of them belong to a marketing federation, the Land of Lakes Creameries. Inc., while two are part of the Equity Union Creameries, Inc., a centralized cooperative operating a chain of plants from Sioux City, la., to Minot. Regarding the development of cooperative cieamerlcs the North Da­ kota Division of Cooperatives Buletin No. 7 for February, 1940, has this to say: "A hutterfat price in North Dakota of five to ten cents under the wholesale butter price on the eastern markets was the usual price in tho early nineteen twenties. Since 1928 this margin of profit has been very materially teduced and the cooperative creameries of North Dakota have been operated hi a businesslike manner and in addition to paying a higher cash price for butter fat .it time of delivery, they have paid back to the farmers hundreds of thousands o[ dollars in dividends since their organization." "The cooperative creamer tea of Xorth Dakota have combined assets of nearly three-quarters of a aii'lion dollars with a net worth of nearly one-half million dollars. Theli combined paid up capital stock Is well over three hundred thousand dollars and the volume of business done by thesis creameries in 1938 totaled approximately two million dollars. They paid their farmer patrons about one million six hundred thousand dollars for hutterfat. Their net earnings were seventy thousand dollars with nearly fifty thousand dollars paid to their patrons in cash dividends for the year 1938. In addition to the dividends paid, these cream­ eries have accumulated nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash surpluses. These larger returns to the farmers for their dairy products have been made possible by ih" loyally of the patrons com­ bined with good management of the creameries which made it possible to reduce the cost of operation down to a figure that is a credit lo the cooperative movement, and we believe provas conclusively that through cooperation our farmers have the best medium of obtaining for thorn- selves the full value of their products."

COOPERATIVE PETROLEUM ASSOCIATIONS While elevators began handling lubricating oils and tractor fuels as a sideline as early as 192(1, separate cooperatives to handle distribution of oil and gas did not begin until around 192S. The Fanners Union Oil Co. of Hnzellon, which started as a suit-division of the Haz

pendent, cooperative oil companies which buy their supplies from private wholesalers. Cooperatives in North.Dakota are, and have been for several years, second only to one major oil company in volume of sales in the state, between 1B% and 16% of all gasoline, tractor fuel, etc., being sold cooperatively. LIVESTOCK SHIPPING ASSOCIATIONS When trucking replaced shipment by rail for a large share ot the livestock, many of the older livestock shipping associations ceased to operate. The drouth and depletion of stock on the farm also contributed to the decline of the importance of cooperative shipment of stock. Since shipping associations required no large capital, they are more often unincorporated than not, and operate to concentrate shipments only when there was stock to be shipped, this type of cooperative is more numerous than any other kind except elevators. Many cf the newer cooperative shipping associations own their own trucks or join with other co-ops in maintaining a federated cooperative truck association. Whether the individual farmer ships his own stock to West Fargo or South St, Paul or ships through a local shipping association he can have his stock sold by one of the two cooperative .commission firms operating on these markets, the Farmers Union Live­ stock Commission Co. and the Central Cooperative Association. Between them, they handle the major share of the stock received at these points.

COOPERATIVE TRUCKING Three or four federated cooperative truck lines are owned by local cooperative oil companies and shipping associations, hauling livestock to the cooperative commission firms nt West Fargo and South St. Paul and returning with supplies from the cooperative wholesales in the Twin Cities. The oldest of such associations was started In 11137 and all have shown considerable savings In transportation costs. Some of the newer livestock shipping associations own their own trucks.

COOPERATIVE STORES At the present time there are around a dozen cooperative stores in the stotp. At least eight of these have been organized since 11)36 and others are survivals of the consumer cooperatives started during and after the first World War in almost every county. The newer stores, almost without exception, have followed a study of the cooperative movement by groups In the trade territory, and carry on educational work among organized groups. They do business for cash and are audited regularly by auditors familiar with cooperatives. While existing cooperative wholesales are too far away from most points in North Dakota to supply all the goods sold by the co-op stores, most of them handle some "co-op" brand goods and emphasize "quality control through consumer ownership." In the spring of 19*11 a cooperative wholesale was organized with NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 282 headquarters at Willtston by several co-op stores in northeastern Mon­ tana and northwestern North Dakota. While the Northwest Cooperative Society, as it is known, as yet acts only as a broker, it is following the pattern established by the large cooperative wholesales.

OTHER COOPERATIVE MARKETING Among miscellaneous types of cooperatives active in North Dakota are cooperative trucking associations, poultry associations, wool pools, and potato warehouses. In the cooperative marketing or poultry, one association operates a hatchery, a feed department, and a marketing department, while others sell feeds and market poultry. Several cooperative turkey pools operate only during the turkey marketing season. In the past decade, since cooperative marketing of turkeys was started by the farmers, the margin between what the farmer receives and the price on the Eastern market has been narrowed five to ten cents. Federal grading lias been intro­ duced with a resulting incentive for the producer to improve tbe quality of his birds and get the premium price. Bargaining agency for its affiliated pools on the terminal market is the Great Northern Turkey Cooperatives, Inc., while Land O'Lakes Creameries. Inc., also markets turkeys. There were six cooperative wool pools in 1937, Including one Hrge state-wide pool, the North Dakota Cooperative Wool Marketing Asso­ ciation, which is affiliated with the National Wool Marketing Corporation of Boston. Of ten associations dealing with potatoes, four maintain sales agencies and six provide only warehousing facilities. COLD STORAGE LOCKERS A cooperative service growing in popularity is the cold storage locker olants. wherw I'yvmers may enjoy their home-raised meats, vegetables,

k«-:v fruilu 1.11¾ year round, by quick freezing them and storing them In lockers. Whii" two cold storage locker plants were set up as separate cooperative associations about 193S, later ones—at least four—• wer*» organized as departments of existing cooperatives. One of the two e.'ulietst lockers recently began io also operate a creamery depart­ ment. This rervico pays little or no dividends in cash—although a considerably savfug . made by butchering home-grown animals over meat market prices—.;at big dividends are paid in improved diet stand­ ards the year round. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION Until the Rural Electrification Administration was set up by the Federal government to assist in the financing and construction of rural electrification lines, few North Dakota farm homes were served by central electric power lines. Even now only 3% of the North Dakota Farmers are so served but In the last few years five REA cooperatives have energized 1,909 miles of line up until the spring of 1941 which NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 281 serves 3,569 consumers and the REA had made six additional allotments for building 2,653 more miles which will, when completed serve 6,395 additional consumers. Among the oldest cooperatives are the mutual telephone companies, which have declined in numbers in recent years. Fifteen associations made corporate reports in 1939.

COOPERATIVE INSURANCE Thirty-three county mutual fire, tornado, and lightning insurance companies have been serving farmers ii; the various counties where they operate, some as long as 35 or 50 years. At the end of 1940, 58,336 policies were in force totaling $142,141,196.34. The companies are fede­ rated in the North Dakota Farmers Mutual Insurance Association, and most of them re-insure part of their risks In the Farmers Mutual Re­ insurance Compnny, which they organized in 1937. A more recent development in cooperative insurance is a statewide insurance agency affiliated with the Farmers Union which writes auto­ mobile, hospitalization, and life insurance. It specializes in low cost types of life insurance, such as term and county collection group insurance, particularly fitted to needs of low income farmers, in a fraternal legal reserve company with cooperative by-laws. Tills company is owned and controlled by its policyholders through a system of delegate representation.

CREDIT UNIONS Another type of cooperative dealing with finance is the fastest growing of all. the credit union. From the time of the passage of the Federal Credit Union Act in 1933 until the end of 1938 about a score of credit unions had been organized among town groups, mostly employees of a railroad, industrial plant, parish, or educational institution. None were organized among rural groups and none under a state charter, under the North Dakota Credit Union Law passed in 1935. Between 193S and September 1, 1941, the number or credit unions had grown to 100, about three-fifths of which were in rural, with farmers and residents of small towns comprising the membership. One such rural credit union, starting in late fall of 193S, in three years accumulated $35,000 in asseij and over 400 members. Other..;, while less spectacular, have grown steadily and rendered real service in en­ couraging savings and meeting the short-time small credit needs of their members. Many oil cooperatives have solved the problem of credit extension by organizing credit unions among their members. Most of the credit unions belong to the North Dakota Credit Union League, which, in turn, is affiliated with the Credit Union National Association, the educational and service federation of credit unions in the United States and Canada. The League reports that in 1940 its older members, i. e., credit unions which had been established long enough to be able to pay a 3% dividend, "itjiiyed a 46% growth in assets over 1939.

Cue or the chief social henents of the credit union, as, Indeed, ot the whole cooperative movement. Is that it retains control of the financial resources or the people in their own hands, where they can democratically use them for their own henents. With the start in so many activities so well begun, cooperation in North Dakota races a bright future, not merely in bringing monetary benefits to its members, but also in building a more ethical society based on the ideals of democracy aud brotherhood.

NORTH DAKOTA'S DAIRY INDUSTRY By Wm. J. Murphy, Dairy Commissioner In giving an outline and history of the Dairy Industry it is necessary to go hack to 185)5 when the first law was passed to protect the dairymen of North Dakota (Chapter 4!), S. L. IS!)5). This law prohibited the manufacture or sale of adulterated dairy products. We find a record of a few creamery plants operating in North Dakota during the territorial years of 1SST and 18S8. From the records available it Is safe to assume that these plants were promoted by machinery and supply salesmen as only nine plants were still in operation by 1S95. Prior lo 1SD0 and for a few years thereafter cream was purchased by measuring the number of inches of cream In the can and at slated intervals a churn test was made to determine the approximate butterfat content of the cream. In 1SI10 after many years of research aud study Dr. Stephen M. Babcock announced the perfection of the now known Babcock test which is now used universally to determine rapidly and accurately the exact percentage of fat In milk and milk products. This Invention was freely given to the dairy industry by Dr. Babcock and will always remain a tribute to his memory. The Babcock test, together with the cream separator which was invented at the same time, made a decided change for the better in the whole dairy industry. Our present plants with modern equipment are a wonderful improvement over the old box churns and the open tables on which butter was worked by hand. In 1S95 there were seven cheese factories in operation with a total volume or only 74.01)2 lbs. of cheese and two creameries that churned only 22,000 lbs. or butter. In lSDfj there were sixteen cheese factories anil twelve creameries in operation with a total output of about 400,000 lbs. of cheese and a little over 400.000 lbs. of butter. in 1SD1 the North Dakota Dairymen's Association was organized and through the able assistance of Dr. 13. F. Ladd this organization was kept alive and continued to advocate the development of the dairy industry in North Dakota during the late ISDO's and the early 1900¾. Being still In existence, this is the oldest dairy organization in North Dakota. By 11102 there were 39 creameries operating in the state with the former cheese factories abandoned or converted into creameries.

NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1042

Chapter 72 of the 1809 Session Laws authorized the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor to appoint a deputy to be known officially as Assistant Dairy and Food Commissioner. The duties and powers granted to the deputy under this act formed the basis for our present dairy laws. It is interesting to note that by the passage, of this act our legislators, even at this early date in our state's history, recognized the importance of the dairy industry in our agricultural economy. Between 1002 and 1910 professional promoters and machinery sales­ men organized a number of cooperatively and individually owned cream­ eries without thought to future security or operation and of the fifty creameries in operation in 1010 only thirty-eight were in existence by 1.91 G, the balance having been forced to close due to lack of volume. By 1011 the Importance of the dairy industry In our economic life had reached a point where our legislators felt that it required more •-iiipervision and Chapter 4 of the 1911 Session Laws was enacted creatfng tho North Dakota State Dairy Department within the Department of Agriculture and Labor. Under this act the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor was authorized to appoint a Dairy Commissioner and two assistants. Tlifs act also provided for an annual license fee of ten dollars for each creamery and cream station and is the basis of the licensing pro­ vision in our present dairy laws. Between 101 (J and 1020 the industry as a whole began to adjust itself by locating plants in communities where dairying was becoming an important part of the farm program. There were forty-four creameries operating in our state in 1920 with a total output of approximately 20 million lbs. of butter. The number of cream stations increased from 90 in 1916 to 1,020 in 1920. By 1920 the farmers as a whole began to realize it was necessary to change their farming practices so as to have a steady cash Income to take care of current expenses and they apparently selected the dairy cow as the source of this income. Dairying developed very rapidly during the 1920's and in 1026 our fanners marketed nearly :12 million lbs. of butterfat through sixty-three creameries and 1.845 cream stations. The New Salem Creamery, we believe, is the oldest creamery in the state, having begun operation in 1806 and has been in operation continuously ever since. The oldest cooperative creamery in the state Is located at Maddock in Benson County and was organized in 1 !>!"». with the cooperative creamery at Milnor in Sargent County a close second with its organi­ zation dating back to 1018. With the rapid Increase in volume during the late 1020's, it was natural that creamerymen looking for good locations for plants were attracted to North Dakota. Between 1027 and 1032 there were a large number of new creameries built and put into operation and by 1032 ninety-six creameries were churning over 4"> million lbs. of butter. These NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 287 new plants were well located where volume was sufficient to insure reasonable operating costs and practically all of these plants are still in operation. The new plants established during this period consisted of centralizers. independent creameries and cooperative associations. The exceptionally low prices during 3932 and 1933 together with drouth conditions during the following years caused a small decrease in the volume of butterfat marketed. The income received from the sale of dairy products in North Dakota remained fairly stationary until 1938 when we find a substantial increase in volume of butterfat marketed.

During the year 1940 our North Dakota farmers marketed over GO million lbs. of butterfat and the total output of the 112 creameries in operation was nearly 58 million lbs. of butler and one million gallons of ice cream. The total income to our farmers from the sale of dairy products during this year was nearly 25 million dollars.

Section 2S39 of the Compiled Laws of North Dakota in outlining the duties of the Dairy Commissioner provides that he shall carry- into effect the provisions of all acts now in force or hereafter enacted relating to dairies and dairy products and shall be empowered to promulgate and enforce such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the best interests of the dairy industry of the state relative to the pro­ duction, manufacture and sale of dairy products, their imitations and substitutes. This section also provides that the Dairy Commissioner shall give his assistance to Improve the quality of dairy products sold to or manufactured in factories in the state and he shall also cooperate with and instruct the dairymen of North Dakota in testing their dairy herds. It has been impossible for the Dairy Commissioner to work as closely as he should have done with the dairy farmer due to insufficient funds and personnel. A voluntary program for cream quality improvement was put into effect In 1934 and Chapter 4 of the 1937 Session Laws makes it com­ pulsory for all buyers to purchase cream according to grade and provides for a differential in price between grades. With the large increase in volume and a very definite improvement in the quality of our butter, North Dakota is now classed as one of the leading dairy states of tho nation. During our fifty-two years of statehood the dairy industry had grown so that now it Is the second largest industry in North Dakota with many millions of dollars invested by farmers and creamerynien in cows and the necessary plants and equipment to carry on this huge Industry.

We can readily see what an Important part the dairy cow has played In the development of this great state of ours. The dairy cow has not only brought material wealth to North Dakota but she is also adding to our health and well being by providing the most highly nutritious food known to mankind.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND GEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF NORTH DAKOTA

By Wilson M. Laird, Director of the North Dakota Geological Survey and Assistant Professor of Geology at the State University Many people do not realize the extent to which their activities depend upon their geological and geographical background. Better thnn half the state's fertile soil depends upon continental glaciation; the great coal resources of the western half of the state are the result of geological process which operated many millions of years ago. Briefly, rocks of four great eras of geological time are known to be present in North Dakota although not all are exposed at the surface. Cryptosoic Crystalline rocks are deeply buried and provide the "base­ ment" rocks upon which nil other rocks were deposited. Upon these Crystalline rocks were deposited marine sandstones, shales and lime­ stones of the Paleozoic era. These Paleozoic rocks are the only ones which offer adequate possibilities for oil in the state. After the deposition of the Paleozoic rocks, a great erosion .Interval intervened and much of the Puleozolc rocks were worn away. Upon this eroded prehistoric landscape were later deposited rocks of the Mesozoic era. Some of these rocks like the famous artesian water­ bearing Dakota sandstone were deposited on land or under terrestial conditions while others were deposited in a vast seaway which extended from the Arctic to the Gulf, Following the deposition of the Mesozoic rocks, continental conditions prevailed rather largely in North Dakota. During the Cenozolc era conditions were apparently more moist than now and great swamps and forests of conifers prevailed over much of the state. In these swamps accumulated great thicknesses of partially decayed vegetable matter which has been changed through the action of pressure of the overlying rocks and subsequent heat to our great lignite coal beds. Long after the deposition of the coal, many of these beds were exposed at the surface through the stripping action of erosion and through spontaneous combustion or by accidental ignition by lightning or prairie fires, many of these coal beds started to burn producing the famous ash and "scoria" beds so familiar in southwestern Xorth Dakota. The "scoria" can be attributed to the "clinkering" or fusing together of the overlying shale and sand due to the heat of the burning lignite. In comparatively recent geologic time much of the northern and eastern ports of the state were covered by the glacial ice which was several hundred feet thick. This ice brought down from Canada much fertile soil. It aUo blocked the northward flowing Red River, forming the famous glacial Lake Agassiz whose old lake bed now forms the beautiful and fertile Red River valley. PhysiographicaUy, North Dakota can be divided Into three plains rising like steps from the east to the west. The easternmost plain is the old lake bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, the Red River Valley. This 290 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 plain is present on both sides of the river and the North Dakota portion is from 30 to 40 miles wide. At the southern end at Wahpeton the elevation of tho plain is 905 feet declining northward at the approximate rate of one foot per mile to 7S9 feet above sea level at the Canadian line. Bordering the Red River Valley plain on the west is an escarpment which is prominent in the northeastern part of the state but much less so in the southeastern part of North Dakota. This escarpment, known as the Pembina Mountains in Cavalier County (300-500 feet above the Red River Valley) marks the eastern boundary of the plain called the Drift plain by Leonard that is intermediate in elevation between the Red River plain and the Missouri Plateau on the west. It is known as the Drift plain as its -surface Is covered entirely by glacial drift to a considerable depth in some cases. However, glacial drift is not limited to the Drift plain but is also found on the Missouri Plateau. Topographi­ cally the Drift plain consists of rolling land excellently suited to farming. A number of lakes, the largest of which is Devils Lake, are also found here. It varies In elevation from 1,300-1,050 feet above sea level and is 70 miles wide on tho southern border or the state and over 200 miles wide at the Canadian boundary.

On the west rising above the Drift plain is the Missouri Coteau, an escarpment 300 to 400 feet high. Unit marks the eastern boundary of the Missouri Plateau. The Missouri Plateau extends from the Missouri Coteau westward to the Rocky Mountains. It has considerable varia-

The Missouri Plateau reaches its greatest eleva­ tion in tho southwestern part of the state where it has an elevation of from 2.S00 to better than 3,100 feet. A number of buttes in the south­ western part of the state rise above the general elevation of the plain and one of these buttes. Black Butte in Slope County, has an elevation of 3.4GS feet above sea level, the highest elevation in the state. No description of the scenery of the Missouri Plateau would be com­ plete without some mention being made of the picturesque badland country along the Little Missouri, Cannonball. and other rivers in the southwestern part of tho State. Here immediately adjacent to the rivers rapid erosion of the relatively soft shales and sands has created an intricate maze of sharp gullies and on the steep sides of the buttes the various colorful formations are excellently exposed providing beauti­ ful landscapes for those who enjoy this rugged type of natural beauty. North Dakota's chief resources are fertile soil, lignite coal, clay, sodium sulfate and some natural gas. At the present time there is considerable interest in oil production but as yet no wells have been brought in. Greater economic development awaits more intensive investigation.

THE GREATER NORTH DAKOTA ASSOCIATION By B. E. Groom, Secretary The idea of a state organization to serve as a state wide commercial club was first presented by Herman Stern at Valley City. In the course of his numerous buying trips east he heard and read much of the pub­ licized misinformation regarding our state. Its people and institutions. At several local meetings he presented that information and urged that some action be taken to offset the mis-leading propaganda. Early in the season of 1925 preliminary organization meetings were held and finances raised for "the Greater North Dakota Association." At that time numerous groups were paying dues to various, road, automobile, trail and park associations. C. E. Danielson of Minot was president of the North Dakota Automobile association. To secure a better under­ standing of the aims and purposes of these groups a meeting was called by Messrs. Stern and Danielson. This meeting was held at Grand Forks on July 13. 1925 and resulted in the amalgamation ot" the Greater North Dakota Association and the North Dakota Automobile Association. Shortly afterward other groups affiliated. .7. R. Carley of Grand Forks was elected president. Messrs. Arthur Johnson of Jamestown, Herman Stern or Valley City, C. E. Danielson of Minot and Major Stanley Washburn of Wilton were named vice presidents. F. A. Irish of Fargo was elected treasurer and James S. MiUoy of Minot secretary, in due time the new organization was in- corporated for a period of 20 years. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 292

At the time oC organization it was planned to raise through voluntary memberships $750,000 for programs and projects then listed as follows: 1. To correlate the activities of all organizations and agencies working on specific development programs. 2. To secure needed funds and federal assistance in the development of a great national park in the Badlands of western North Dakota. 3. To publicize and advertise in ail farming areas the worth of North Dakota soil, climate, productivity and opportunities for home ownership. 4. To establish and maintain state-wide tourist service and develop tourist travel through North Dakota. From July 1925 to date the association has been sustained by volun­ tary memberships from every community in the state and on the same basis from business interests outside the state having sales interests in the state. At all times the major activities of the association have been along the lines originally planned and for the definite purpose of increasing and stahlizing farm income through improved methods and practices. Specific undertakings on which the association has expended large sums of money are pure bred sire sales programs, dairy heifer sales, the development of the livestock feeding industry, trench silo projects, farm acreage projects to increase plantings of alfalfa, sweet clover, corn, flax and emergency feed crops. During the drouth period all available resources were utilized to assist farmers and stockmen in securing feed supplies for such stock as they could carry. Assistance was given in locating and moving pure bred herds to areas where feed was obtainable in order that they could be retained, and later returned to farms of owners to serve as founda­ tion stock for future herds and flocks. To meet the financial needs of stockmen the congress authorized the establishment of the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation and later the Production Credit Associa­ tion. The time of the associations chairman of the agricultural com­ mittee was given to organize both of these farm finance Institutions. As more productive years followed the drouth period vigorous programs were carried on by GNDA to assist in restocking programs especially with hogs and cattle. Special efforts have been directed to create in­ terest in the development of new crops and a more general use of pure seed. To accomplish these objectives large numbers of carloads of registered certified seed grains of standard varieties have been pur­ chased and distributed at cost and in small lots to grain growers in all sections of the state. 4-I-I Club work and Future Parmer programs have been assisted through wide distribution of seed corn and other activities to assist in youth undertakings. When the time came at wlr;ch farm lands could be secured at very low prices and on most favorable terms programs were initiated to stimulate farm home purchases by tenants. The publicity programs carried on in connection with the Slate Press Association and improved NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 293 growing and marketing conditions has resulted in a definite state-wide purchase of farms by tenant operators. Early experience showed that tourist and park development was contingent on good roads. For years the association has acted in every possible opportunity to get more and better roads constructed. Tourist travel has increased in exact proportion to road progress. Efforts to encourago tourist travel in North Dakota has been directed along lines of publishing and distributing hundreds of thousands of pieces of tourist literature, showings at travel shows and personal contacts with routing bureaus throughout the east. Travel Information Bureaus are maintained at all points in the state where civic organizations maintain the regular office service of a secretary. All branch offices are supplied with tourist travel information and literature on all states and Canada. Sup­ plementing these activities GNDA sponsored the organization of the American Automobile Association which is now functioning on a state­ wide basis with the same service available to the traveling public in North Dakota that is given the million members or AAA throughout the United States. An industrial department has been added to the activities of GNDA and assistance is being given in numerous federal undertakings that indicate industrial worth to the people of the state, through progress with lignite coal and other mineral resources as well as sugar beets, pottery, honey and miscellaneous undertakings. The business of the association is now planned by a board of 17 directors representing all sections of the state, a county director in each county and the office staff. All serve withont pay except the office staff. Officers elected in August, 1941 were: President R. .1. Hughes of Wahpe- ton; Honorary President. Herman Stern. Valley City; Chairman Finance Committee F. D. McCartney or Oakes; Treasurer F. A. Irish of Fargo; Secretary and Chairman of Agricultural Committee B. E. Groom; Mem­ bership Director Ralph Keller; Assistant Secretary for GXDA and Sec­ retary of AAA. M. .1. Connolly.

NORTH DAKOTA HIGHWAYS By J. S. Lamb, State Highway Commissioner An integral Part of modern living is swift communication among people. In this scheme, highways play the principal role, providing as they do. a way of travel essential to our economic and social life. We are often apt to forget that roads as we have them today were not always so. A short 2"> years ago we had no highway department and no State highway system. Each community was isolated except for the railroads. Such roads as there were existed to allow some means of getting from farm to market. Little or no provision was made for travel between communities or for travel between neighbors. As the demand for ways of travel increased and as the motor vehicle made its influence felt, farsigbted individuals began to picture roads 294 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 of the future. Roads tliat would form a purl of the chain linking the states, communities and individuals together. Roads to carry people to a better understanding of one another and thus to a more closely knit society. The first step to accomplish this end was the designation in 3917 of a State highway system of 3.76S miles. Of this mileage, the roads which are known today as U. S. numbered routes 10, 2, SI, 281, 83, 8") and 12, totaling 1,830 miles, were termed the primary system and the remaining 1.93S miles of State numbered routes were termed the secondary system. In 1923, the State Highway Department in response to a Federal Aid Act, designated approximately 4,855 miles, including the 1917 system, as the Federal Aid 7% System. In the years following 1923, new routes were gradually added so that on January 1, 1941, wt- had designated as the State highway system 7,342 miles of which about 612 miles were unimproved. Feeding this system of State highways was over 100,000 miles of county and township roads and trails. To provide the maximum in road mileage and road type is the first objective of a road system. To accomplish that objective efficiently is the first duty of road administration. In order to achieve both purposes, a road system should be adequate in length and in type but should not include routes whose main services are incompatible with the purposes of the system. This stage of maximum efficiency is a constantly fluctu­ ating one. requiring a flexible administration and a flexible system to keep pace. In the latter years of the 1930 decade, studies began to reveal that the program of extending the State highway system had perhaps been over-ambitious. The State had more miles of roads than it could ade­ quately perpetuate. The next step in attaining the goal of a completely modern and economical highway system seems to be a redesignatton of the primary and the secondary systems, sacrificing some of the least important roads in order that the remainder may be of the desired quality. Sufficient knowledge of our roads and the traffic they bear is available to insure a fair determination of the relative importance of all roads. In the straight, swift, hard-surfaced roads of today and of tomorrow carrying efficiently and comfortably the State's commerce, and con­ tributing much to our education and welfare, we are beginning to realize the future foreseen for highways a quarter of a century ago. THE NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL SYSTEM By Arthur E. Thompson, Superintendent of Public Instruction During the school year, ending June, 39-10, there were 2,272 school districts In the state, with the school buildings, grounds, and furnishings valued at $44,148,940, presided over by 11,674 board members, treasurers, and clerks. In these schools, 133,629 elementary and high school boys NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 295 and girls were taught by 7,3111 teachers. The cost ot operating these schools, exclusive ot debt service and capital outlay, was $11,048,101.03. These figures nre below normal because of drastic cuts during the past decade in salaries, and in elimination of many services. For the school year ending .luno 30, 1930, tho cost of operation exclusive of debt service, was $1G,069,40S, and including debt service and capital outlay, was $17,S44,095. The chief executive and administrative officer in the state is the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who is elected biennially by the electorate of the state. The law provides for a County Superintendent of Schools in each county, elected by the voters of the county for a like term. Tho fundamental unit in administration of schools is the school district of which we have three types: common, special, and independent. Since 1SS3 tho common school district is eo-e"t_nslve with the civil township, except in the counties of Grand Forks, Pembina, Walsh, Cass and Barnes, where school districts remained in their original form, varying In size and shape. There are, at present, 2,115 common districts In the state, and 157 special and independent districts, the latter also varying in size and shape. Each class of school district has somewhat different privileges and prerogatives, but their affairs, are, for the most part, directly in tho hands of the electorate of the district. North Dakota has 51S schools doing high school work. Of these. 199 are classified high schools, and 319 are consolidated and graded schools doing high school work. The total enrollment in these schools for the year ending .Tune 30, 1940. was 33,895. North Dakota has two County Agricultural and Training Schools, one located at Park River. Nortli Dakota In Walsh County, and flic other at Maddock. North Dakota in Benson County. These schools give extensive courses in vocational training and agri­ culture. They are jointly supported by the state and county, they also receive aid from the Federal government through the Smith-Hughes Act. The attendance In these schools Is not limited to the students from their own counties. The enrollment shows that a large percent of the en­ rollment comes from counties outside of the county wherein the school is located. For the year ending .Tune 30, 1941, Walsh County Agricultural and Training School had an enrollment of 312 students: Benson County Agricultural and Training School had an enrollment of 1S5 students. The only strictly state trust fund for edticationn? purposes is the income from the "irreducible school fund," which has boon derived from the sale of sections sixteen and thirty-six In each township in the stale or of land selected in lieu thereof. The receipts for the year ending June 30, 1940. was $4.58 per child enumerated. The principle of the State Equalization Fund was established in 1933. This marked the beginning of grealer state participation in school fi­ nancial support. At that time an appropriation of $200,000 was made. Each session of the Legislature has strengthened this fund until at the NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 206 present time North Dakota has In principle one of the best State Equalization Funds in the union. The past session of the Legislature appropriated a total of $3,600,000 for this fund. Under its provisions, the State Equalization Fund is responsible for the payment of non­ resident high school tuition, payment on per pupil basis (payment to districts least able to carry their own responsibilities), teacher-unit (paid to districts according to the number of teachers), and basis of need (a special payment to districts that are unable to function on their own resources). The funds derived from the appropriation for the State Equalization Fund are strictly the only taxes (sales) levied by the stave for the sup­ port of public education. The remainder of the financial support of the schools comes from a tax on property within the various districts, J/£ county mill levy, the permanent school fund and fines and penalties. With a few minor exceptions, tax levies and bond issues for school purposes, are under local control. As a part of the state system of education, we have the Department of Vocational Education under the supervision of the Board of Higher Education, composed of seven members appointed by the Governor, and financed partly by the Federal Government, and partly by an appropria­ tion by the state. The federal Emergency Relief Administration and the WPA during the past few years has provided funds for a program of emergency edu­ cation to provide employment for needy unemployed teachers, and others competent to teach. While it is recognized that this was primarily a relief program for a select number of unemployed teachers, it did give an opportunity to preserve, utilize, and further their talents in a matter socially useful to a large number of their fellow adults. A large number of adults were In actual attendance at the classes taught by unemployed teachers. The National Youth Administration has likewise had an em­ ployment program for students attending high schools. This has made it possible for many to attend who otherwise would have been denied a high school education. During the past ten years. North Dakota schools have faced many serious financial problems. These have been solved through the estab­ lishment of the State Equalization Fund, and through a better system of budgeting. NORTH DAKOTA'S REVENUE RESOURCES By Carl Anderson, State Treasurer During the past fiscal year which ended June 30, 3941, the office of the State Treasurer has been accountable for collections and transfers in the amount of $33,823,411.43. Of this sum $7,480,7S2.32 represents monies, which upon receipt, are in turn credited to specific accounts, and as such are classified as transfers. Of this amount of money the Heal Estate Tax, Cor State purposes, aud the levy made to meet State NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 297

Bond and Sinking Fund requirements, amounts to $1,730,790.00, or f>.1% of these total receipts*. Of the total collections of the State Treasurer's office, the Sales anil Use Tax of $3,380,005.00 constitutes 9.9% of the total so collected., In addition to these two sources of revenue there is further the income from the Gasoline Tax. which Income is In the amount or $2,000,753.00, or 7.0% of the total receipts. There is further the Driver's Licenses and Motor Vehicle Registration .fees of $1,009,032.00 which constitutes 3.1% of the total receipts. Other sources of revenue contributing toward the maintenance of the State Government are the Income Tax of $099,759.00. or 2% of the State's total receipts. Following closely upon receipts from this source are those ot the Cigarette, Snnfr. and Cigarette papers as well as the license fees in connection therewith, which collections are in the amount of $354,802.00, or 1.0% of the total receipts. There Is also the sum of $499,133.00 collected as tax and license fees in connection with the sale of Beer, which sum contributes 1.4% of our State's income. In addition thereto the taxes upon alcoholic beverages in the form of a Surtax contributes $340,180.00 toward the maintenance of the Slate of North Dakota, which sum constitutes 1 % of the total receipts. There is also an income to the State of Norlh Dakota of $52,475.00 attributable to the Estate and Car Line Taxes. In addition to the aforementioned sources of income, there Is also the fees and licenses attributable to the services of the State Laboratory Department. From the various activities of this department, the State Is in receipt of the sum of $134,7G3."3. In this connection the oil inspec­ tion contributes the bulk of the fees so cleared. Recognition must also be taken or the $283,478.00 received by the State of North Dakota from foreign insurnnce companies for the privilege of operating within our state. In addition to the Income derived from the administrative offices of the State Government, there is further the activities of the State agencies which are performing an essential function but whose services are at the election of the individual citizens. I have reference to the State Hall Insurance Department, the State Bonding Fund, the Fire and Tornado Fund and the Teacher's Insurance and Retirement Fund. These depart­ ments are self-maintaining but the income for the services rendered and their disbursements are incorporated in the receipts of the State Treasurer. Further the State Treasurer as custodian of the Trust Funds for these departments is responsible for the servicing of $17,919,488.10 of bonds, certificates of deposits, and other authorized investments or these said trust funds. The Interest and Income account of the trust established to assist in the maintenance of our schools and State Charitable institutions is also a considerable source of income. There is attributable from these trust funds the sum of $1.203.708.S7. The monies so received In turn con- si itute part of the General Fund appropriation, which appropriation is 298 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 passed biennially by the Legislature to maintain the schools and charit­ able institutions of the State. In addition to the Interest and Income Fund, the State Institutions also contribute toward the General Fund receipts by their collection oC $429,- 215.01, which collections are likewise a part or the appropriation passed by the Legislature toward the maintenance and operating expense oE the State Institutions. The Hard Liquor Stamp Tax as originally enacted was a Real Estate Replacement Tax and as such has replaced throughout the State the. Heal Estate Tuxes to the extent of ?3S2.132.-12 during the last fiscal year. However, tho last Legislature has amended this enactment, and the income from this source accordingly will be utilized along with the ni- come from an Increased Liquor Surtax to replace In part the county cost of care of patients in "the State Institutions.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS By L. C. Miller, State Printer

North Dakota has nine daily newspapers, three semi-weekly and 1C4 weekly newspapers, including one Norwegian and three German-language papers. It is perhaps bettor served with newspapers than any state in the Union. "While there are some small counties that have only one weekly news­ paper, there are several that have one in each important town, Cass County having eight, Burleigh County seven, and several other counties four or five. The ~ weekly papers are with few exceptions, machine-set. Only a few of them still set their type by hand. They are all well-printed, well made up, progressively edited and many of them well illustrated. Prac­ tically all of them now have modern mat casting equipment. It Is a weekly press of which our state may well be proud. While the official newspaper law enacted by the 1919 session of the Legislature cut down the number of papers, because it was not eco­ nomically possible to support some of them without the revenue from the counties, the law has generally been conceded to have been JI means of making the weekly press us a whole better and stronger. The rather harsh provisions of the original law were softened by amendments adopted at the election in 1920. and the remaining papers, enabled, compelled by progress as well, to install type setting machines jumped up in mechanical excellence and circulation, absorbing many of those no longer able to publish when the official newspaper law took effect. Nine dailies cutting through the southern part, serve the state, five of them located on the Northern Pacific main line, four on the Great Northern main line bisecting the northern part of the state. The Fargo Forum issues morning and evening editions, except on Monday morning, as does the Grand Forks Herald. The Valley City Times Record. .Tames- NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 299 town Sun, Bismarck Tribune, and Mandan Pioneer are afternoon dailies, tho Tribune at Bismarck issuing an early mail and a "home" edition later' in the afternoon. The Devils Lake Daily Journal is at present a morning paper, issued In tabloid form of a minimum of eight pages. The Minot Daily News issues two editions in the afternoon. The Willfston Daily Herald, the farthest west daily in the state, is also an afternoon paper. The papers that have the official printing for their counties are elected to that position, being placed on the ballot each election, in the no-party column. The fifty-three papers thus elected hold tho office for one two-year period and must face the voters each even-numbered year when state and county officials are elected. While radio advertising has cut into the revenue of the weeklies as well as the daily papers, much advertising now being diverted to that channel of publicity, the papers are as a whole prosperous and are with­ out exception an asset to their communities and to the slate as a whole the value of which it is almost hnpossbile to estimate. North Dakota has no private periodicals, but is served by periodical issues of many of tho departments, issued either according to law or as found advisable, as in the case of the State Agricultural College at Fargo. Some clubs or organizations also issue periodical bulletins or monthly booklets, but of general periodicals covering the whole state none are published within the state.

NORTH DAKOTA NATIONAL GUARD By Lt. Col. H. A. Brocopp, Infantry, 1GD, Asst. Adjutant General

The Nortli Dakota National Guard Is a federalized force, recruited and maintained in the state of .North Dakola. It is a component of the army of the United States and a part of the first line of the national defense. Jt is maintained jointly by the federal government and the state according to agreements and regulations entered into and provided for and pursuant to the national defense act of 1920, as amended, and the State Code. The allotment of peace time active strength of the North Dakota National Guard is liiS officers; 2 Warrant Officers; 2,131 Enlisted Men, a total of 2,291. The function of the North Dakota National Guard is two-fold: in times or peace it is a force that may bo called for the suppression of civic disorders and for aid and assistance in the event of local disasters; and in times of war It constitutes a well-trained, disciplined, and equipped force, capable of rapid mobilization and immediate service as a first- line force. In order to fulfill these missions careful year-round training is under­ gone by all elements. This training is divided inio two phases, armory drill and field training. The federal government appropriates pay that 300 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1042 makes possible the assembling for drill and instruction of all elements 4S times a year. These assemblies are normally held in the various armories and the training follows a well and carefully thought-out plan of Instruction and emanates from the office' of the Adjutant General and Is in conformity with the federal training plan. The armory training season terminates with the departure of troops for the annual camps of field instruction. The field training season is of 15 days duration and is tho means whereby practical application in the field is made of those subjects in whi-'ih instruction was given during the armory training season. The State Staff and State Detachment, the 104th Infantry, and the 188th Field Artillery normally undergo this training at Camp Grafton, Devils Lake, North Dakota. All expenses for this training are borne by the federal government. The following table shows the various units of the North Dakota National Guard, together with home station of each:

EARLY HISTORY The early military history ot North Dakota antedate Its entry into statehood, hut due to the tact that the records during that period were rather incomplete and due to the destruction of tho military records by fire In the Adjutant General's Office in 1898, the history is rather vague, but In short it commences with the organization of two troops of Cavalry in 1SC2, known as Miner's Company "A", 1st Battalion and Company "B", 1st Battalion Dakota Cavalry, which served throughout the Civil War. The First and Second Regiment of Dakota Infantry was organized In 1S07 lor the purpose ot protecting the inhabitants of the territory against hostile Indians.

SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR On April 25, 1S9S, when President McKinley issued the first call for volunteers for the Spanish-American War, the First North Dakota In­ fantry immediately volunteered for service. Two Battalions were ac­ cepted and were redesignated as the First North Dakota Volunteer In­ fantry. This Regiment was mobilized and also two newly organized units, known as Troops "C." and "H" of the Third Regiment Volunteer Cavalry, at Camp Briggs, Fargo, North Dakota. The First North Dakota Volunteer Infantry was ordered to San Francisco and departed for that port on May 20, 1898 and departed from that port on June 28, 1SI)8, arriving at .Manila Boy, P. 1. on July 31, 189S.

PHILIPPINE INSURRECTION After the surrender of the Spanish forces, the North Dakota Troops were on duty In the Philippine Island until the outbreak of the Philip­ pine Insurrection during which the First North Dakota Volunteer In­ fantry participated in practically all of the major engagements. North Dakota's mun-power contribution for the Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection was a total of S47 officers and enlisted men. Casualties during that campaign were:

Killed in action S Wounded in action 11 Drowned 1 Died of Disease 7

Tile First North Dakota Infantry was mustered-ont at the Presidio of San Francisco, California, on September 25, 18119.

MEXICAN BORDER SERVICE The President, under date of June 10. 1910. issued a Proclamation, in which tho National Guard of the certain states were called to active service. The First Infantry Regiment, North Dakota National Gunrd was mobilized at Fort Lincoln, North Dakota and was mustered Into federal service on July 1. 1910, and shortly thereafter proceeded to Mercedes, Texas and remained there until the first part of February 1917, when it proceeded to Fort Snelling, Minnesota and mustered out at that station on February 14, 1917. NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 302

WORLD WAR During the World War, the First North Dakota Infantry was called into active service on March 13 and the remainder on April G, 1917. The Regiment was mobilized at Fort Lincoln, North Dakota, on July 1, 1917 and a new regiment known as the Second North Dakota Infantry was organized during June and July. Both regiments proceeded to Camp Greene, North Carolina the later part of September, the First Regiment being redesignated as the lG4th Infantry. The second was broken up and part of the men were transferred to the lG4lh Infantry and the remainder became parts of newly organized Auxiliary Divisional Units. The North Dakota Troops departed for oversea service on December 14, 1917, arriving lu France at various ports during the first part of January 1918. When the 41st Division, composed of troops from North Dakota, Mon­ tana, Washington. Oregon, and Idaho, arrived in r mce they were immediately broken up and the privates were trunsf*-. <-d to ihe front lino divisions and the officers and non-commissioned officers of the organizations were retained as skeleton training units in charge of the First, Second, and Third Corps Schools. It can truly be said that the North Dakota Troops participated in nearly every engagement during the World War.

NORTH DAKOTA TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION By J. M. Cathcart, Secretary PRESENT OFFICERS: President, John Dawson, Mandan; Vice President, Oscar Herum, Carpio; Treasurer, C. A. Willimas, Fargo; Sec­ retary, J. M. Cathcart, Fargo; Assistant Secretary C. J. Kenady, Fargo; Directors, First District: E. A. Duff, Dazey; Second District: R. D. Ward, Mlnnewaukan; Third District: W. H. KaDell. Edgeley; Fourth District: Bennett Nerby, McHenry; Fifth District: Oscar Herum, Carpio; Sixth District: John Dawson, Mandan; Director at Large, Earl Syming­ ton, Neche; Honorary Director at Large: John Conrad, Erie; H. C. Young. Counsel. OFFICE: 11½ Broadway, Fargo, North Dakota. PURPOSES: These are set forth in Section 2 of the Constitution and By-Laws, which reads as follows: "The objects of this association shall be to make a continuous in­ vestigation and study of the expenditures of public monies, the levy and assessment of taxes and assessments, and the reasonableness and neces­ sity for all public expenditures and taxes, to secure and disseminate accurate information among Its members and the public relating to said matters; to make recommendations relative thereto, to public officers and other institutions, organizations, boards and bodies, and generally take whatever action may bo deemed necessary or advisable in pro­ moting and securing economy and efficiency in the administration of public affairs within the State of North Dakota, This organization shall NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—11)42 303 be nonpolitical and as an association shall not become affiliated with, or connected in any manner with any political party or faction."

FORM OF ORGANIZATION: The Association is incorporated as a nonprofit educational corporation. In form it is a federation of local taxpayors' associations. Policies are formulated by annual conventions of delegates from tho different county units, each of which is entitled to three votes. Tho local county associations are completely autonomous and their form of organization varies. At the annual convention directors aro chosen from oach judicial district and one is elected at large. The officers aro selected by tho directors. Supervision and management is vested in the directors, who are aided by an advisory committed con­ sisting of tho presidents of the county associations.

HISTORY: Tho Association was organized at Devils Lake, in June 1931, at a gathering of representatives from a number of county tax­ payers* organizations. Tbe first president was the late Gus Lamb of Michigan, who was succeeded in 1931 by John Conrad of Erie, who in turn was: succeeded in 1940 by John Dawson of Mandan. The first sec­ retary was Harold Nelson of Rugby, who held office until 1934, when he was succeeded by the late Morton Page of Fargo, who in turn was succeeded by J. M. C thcart of Fargo.

MAJOR ACTIVITIES: The Association took an active part in cam­ paigns over initiated and referred measures and constitutional amend­ ments in 1932, 1933, 1930, 1938, 1939 and 1940. It has sponsored and supported various proposals designed to bring about greater efficiency and economy in government, and has opposed other measures which it believed would have the opposite effect. Beginning In 1933 the Association has had an active legislative com­ mittee which has attempted to assist legislators in obtaining accurate facts and figures relative to proposed legislation. Commencing in January 193;", it has published tlie monthly North Da­ kota TAXPAYER. This periodical contains information on governmental, financial and administrative matters, which are thought to he of interest to the taxpayers of North Dakota.

Beginning in 193S it has published annually tables of statistics deal­ ing with tho financial affairs of tho counties and school districts of the state. During 1940 and 1041 it compiled and published comprehensive audit- surveys of Burleigh, Cass, Grand Forks, Stark and Ward counties. It has been the opinion of the Association that the assessed valua­ tions placed on North Dakota farm lands were in many instances excessive. Accordingly it has made appearances at each meeting of the State Hoard of Equalization, which dealt with this subject, commencing with the year of organization, 1931. PRESENT ACTIVITIES: The Association has embarked on an ex­ tensive research program and at present, among other matters, the of- 304 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

fleers are investigating the following—legislative procedure, uniform accounting, reporting and auditing for local subdivisions, and county government. The local associations take an active interest In the budgets of coun­ ties, cities and school districts.

NORTH DAKOTA'S WATER RESOURCES By John T, Tucker, State Engineer The constitution of North Dakota provides that all flowing streams and natural water courses are and shall remain the property of the State. A state statute provides that all waters within the limits of the State from all sources belong to the public and are subject to appro­ priation. Water is a resource of major importance in the State of North Dakota where agriculture is the basic industry. Virtually every economic prob­ lem confronting the people of the state, is, and has been in the past due to the instability of production on the farm. The State has suf­ ficient water resources if developed to stabilize this agricultural pro­ duction. The prosperity of our people Is dependent on the quantity and distribution of water. The water supply of the Northern Great Plains area of which the State of North Dakota is a part, cannot be increased by any practicable means within human control. The best that can be done is to regulate the varying supply at our disposal and to adjust our water use economy to that supply. Up to this time, the water supply in this area has been In part permitted to run to waste and in port put to use which have not extracted all its values. For many years Tederal and state agencies have vigorously attacked the water problems In North Dakota. By legislative enactment In 1907, the North Dakota State Water Conservation Commission was created. This action was taken in order to more effectively carry on a program of. water conservation and utilization in the State. Since its creation, this agency of the State Government has done a vast amount of work and is able to show a very ffne record of accomplishment. In North Dakota, from the Red River of the North at its eastern border to the Montana-North Dakota state line on the west, are many lakes and streams. In tho central and eastern portions of the state, the streams furnish water for municipal, industrial and agricultural pur­ poses. In the western portion of the state, water is furnished by streams for the irrigation of approximately 40,000 acres of land. Water Is available for 250,000 additional acres along the Missouri River and its tributaries. The surface waters in North Dakota streams, except those in the Missouri, the Yellowstone, the Mouse and the Red Rivers, are dependent upon rainfall within the state. Generally speaking, the stream system of NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 305

drainage aud the Missouri River drainage. The Hudson Bay drainage includes the waters ot the eastern and nortli central portions of the state which flow in the Mouse and Red Rivers, while the Missouri Rtver drainage includes the south central and western portions ot the State.

The greatest water resource in North Dakota is the Missouri River which flows 390 miles along a winding course through the state. The Missouri River Basin in North Dakota includes about two-thirds of the area of the State. It is estimated that about 21 million acre-feet annually of its waters pass downstream through North Dakota on their way to the Gulf of Mexico without rendering their potential services to man. The James River which originates in central North Dakota and which joins the Missouri River at Yankton, South Dakota, Is characterized by deficient supplies in drought years. Other important tributaries of the Missouri River in North Dakota are the Knife, the Heart, the Cannon- ball and the Little Missouri.

The Mouse River an international stream which drains large areas in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, the State of North Da­ kota and the Province of Manitoba, is located In the Hudson Bay Drain­ age Basin. The more important tributaries are the Des Lacs, and Wintering Rivers, Cut Bank Creek and Willow Creek. Adjoining the Mouse Drainage Basin on the east is the Devils Lake region. Devils Lake Is located in a Umbered area of great natural beauty. Since 1807, it has lowered about 40 feet. One of the important water problems of the state Is the restoration of this purkltke region lo its former import­ ance and grandeur.

The Red River of the North Is an international and an interstate stream. The Dominion of Canada, the Province of Manitoba, the United States or America and the states of Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota being concerned with the control and regulation of its waters.

Tho most important tributaries in North Dakola are the Pembina, the Park, the Forest, the Goose, the Sheyennc, and the Wild Rice Rivers. Reference is also made to the Tongue River which is the main tributary of tho Pembina River. There is an urgent demand for a water supply from outside the Red River Basin to supplement tho deficient supply in that basin. The neetl fur supplementing the deficient supplies in central and eastern Norlh Dakota and in the .Tamos River Valley in South Dakota has been recognized for many years. It is proposed to divert Missouri River waters for the restoration of Devils Luke and for supplementing deficient, flows in tho Mouse, Hie James, tho Shcyenne and the Red River watersheds. This proposed project is known as the Missouri River Diversion Project. Two plains for tho diversion are now being given consideration. One report by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army con­ templates the diversion of Missouri River waters at the Big Bend in the Missouri River near Garrison, North Dakota. At this location in the Missouri River a dam about 5l) feet in height is to be constructed. At this dnin electric power will he generated for pumping water from the Missouri River over the divide, between the Missouri and James Rivers. This plan proposes to eliminate the municipal water supply problems in tho James, Shcyenne and Red River basins. By a comprehen­ sive system of dams and reservoirs, the flow of the James and Shcyenne Rivers will bo regulated, and an ample supply of water for urban and rural purposes will be assured. The restoration of Devils Lake is also included in the project. Irrigation development is also in­ cluded as one of the major benefits in the area, by this diversion project. U is estimated that revenues from sale of water and power from the project, will take care of the construction and operating costs. The second of the two reports contemplates the diversion of waters from the Missouri River just, below the mouth of the Milk River and a short distance downstream from Fort Peck Dam. This diversion is by the Bureau of Reclamation and is known as the Missouri-Souris Project. Diversion will be made from the Missouri River in Montana by means of a diversion dam and a gravity canal to Medicine Lake where extensive storage will be provided. At the east side of Medicine Lake near Grenora, North Dakota, the water from the lake will be pumped to a height of about 100 feet. Diversion in North Dakota will be in a canal by way of Grenora. to the Upper Des Lacs Lake north of Kenmare. It is estimated that one million acres of fertile lands in northwestern North Dakota will be irrigated under this project. The plan includes facilities for generation and delivery of commercial and irrigation power from Fort Feck to all existing and potential areas on the Missouri River to Sanish. North Dakota. Restoration of Devils Lake and Stump Lake in North Dakota to a predetermined level when they were tourist and recreational centers will be accomplished by use of return flow water from Irrigation. Water from tho samo source will ho supplied for municipal use by over 20 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1042 307

cities and towns on the Sheyenne, -Tames and Reil Rivers in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. This project, as reported, compares favor­ ably in area served to the Grand Coulee Project in Washington. Revenues from the irrigation development, the sale of power, and water to municipalities, is estimated sufficient to repay construction and opera­ tion costs.

WILDLIFE RESOURCES OF NORTH DAKOTA By Stanley Saugstad, Director, Federal Aid Division, State Game a.nd Fish Department

One of North Dakota's greatest assets is its abundance of wildlife resources. Obviously it. is as difficult to evaluate these resources in terms of dollars and cents as it would be to place a monetary valuation on such things as good health, friends, L'luo music or bountiful scenery. These gifts of nature are often no.1 sufficiently appreciated by those who enjoy them. These resources have a definite commercial value as well as an esthetic value to North Dakota. Since it is much simpler in describe the more concrete aspects of our wildlife resource? .such as existing species, their distribution, number of licenses issued and similar data, such points will be briefly discussed.

Although North Dakota is not noted for its fishing yet it constitutes an important Phase of our wildlife. Approximately fourteen to sixteen thousand fishing licenses are sold each year. During the year of 11M0 about eight million fry and over eight hundred thousand fingerlings were planted in fishing waters of the state. Game fish include Northern Pike, wall-eyed pike, and small mouth bass. Pan fish are more common and include such species as sun-fish, crappie, blue-gills, perch and bull-heads. There is some commercial fishing of cat fish and sturgeon done in the state, principally in the Missouri River. The state maintains a fish hatchery at Lisbon. There is a federal hatchery maintained by the Fish and Wildlife Service at Valley City. These two hatcheries provide an abundant amount of fish for stocking the waters in North Dakota.

North:Dakota has long been a source of furs. The Hudson Day CompanycaiuV American firms had fur trading posts in what is now North Dakota during the early nineteenth century. In recent years there have been from six to eight thousand trapping licenses sold annually. In addition to this a number of special permits to take beaver have been granted each year. The value in dollars and cents of our annual fur harvest is difficult to estimate accurately but at the present time it is conservatively placed at ¢300,000.00. The plains hare, more often re­ ferred to as jack rabbit, brought about $100,000.00 annually to the resi­ dents of this state when the value of an individual rabbit was about 10 to 12 cents. The heaver, on which there has been no open season for some years, nay be trapped by special permit. The residents of the state have realized an income of thirty thousand dollars or more 308 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 annually from tills source. The other principal fur bearers include the skunk, weasel, mink, muskrat, raccoon, fox, coyote, badger, and others too minor to mention.

Although North Dakota is not recognized ->s an important big-game state none-the-less it does contain a good variety and a substantial number of big-game animals. The white-tailed deer are new found in most por­ tions of the state. They are of course limited more or less to wooded areas of which North Dakota has less thar one thousand square miles. Even of this area only approximately hai. :night he called good deer territory. However, even with this comparatively small aren, North Dakota had over six thousand white-tailed deer at the close of 1940. The mule deer has been extending its range in North Dakota very con­ siderably during the last twenty years. At the present writing it is estimated that there are between seven and eight hundred of these animals within the state largely confined to the Bad Lands area along the Little Missouri River. They are found as far east as the Souris River and during the open season of 1940, one mule deer was shot in the Turtle Mountains. Antelope are found over a considerable portion of the southwestern part of tho state, their territory overlaps that of the mule deer. The antelope appear to he steadily increasing. If afforded sufficient protection they should become relatively plentiful. The present population is estimated at being between six and seven hundred. Occa­ sionally an elk is reported in the state but at present they are not con­ sidered as being established here.

North Dakota has always been recognized as one of the great breeding grounds of migratory waterfowl in the United States. The Fish and Wildlife Service recognized the importance of this state when it began its extensive refuge program some years ago. At present there

IBEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE! NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 309

are approximately eighty federal migratory waterfowl refuges including easement areas. These areas range in size from the 58,000 acre Lower Souris Refuge to the 120 Tobacco Garden easement area in McKenzie County. The principal federal refuges include Lower Souris, Upper Souris, the Des Lacs and the Arrowwood. Each of these is a breeding place for thousands of waterfowl. In addition to this there are a large number or state refuges that provide a sanctuary for ducks and geese. During years of normal rainfall the central portion of North Dakota contains vast numbers of small lakes, sloughs, or kettle holes most of which provide ideal habitat for ducks. Under normal conditions there are few Places In the United States that offer such a wealth of migratory waterfowl as North Dakota. It is felt, however, that North Dakota's greatest asset is its abundance of upland game. First of nil it has a very wide variety of upland game

and most of the species are well distributed over the stale. Some species of grouse are found in all sections of the state. Sharp-tailed grouse, the dominant grouse species, is particularly abundant in the western two- thirds of the state. The eastern part of the state probably contains more

|BEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE! 310 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—-1942 pinnated grouse or the true prairie chicken than sharp-tail. The state also contains somo ruffed grouse, their principal range being the Turtle Mountains and the Pembina Hills. They, however, aro not nearly as numerous as the sharp-tail grouse or prairie chicken. In the extreme south-western portion of the state there are sage grouse. These, however, are not present in sufficient quantities to warrant an open season.

In addition to this fine array of native game, certain exotic species have done remarkably well in North Dakota. Chinese ring-neck pheasants were introduced into the state in considerable numbers beginning about 1920; now (here aro vast numbers of pheasants in most parts of the state. The entire southeastern section of North Dakota has a heavy population of these birds as does the Missouri River bottom and most of its tribu­ taries. The Souris, James and Sheyenne rivers and their principal tributaries also harbor large numbers of these birds.

Tho hunters of North Dakota probably harvest more pounds of pheas­ ants than any other upland game bird—possibly more than all the other upland game birds combined. The ring-neck appears to be acclimated to conditions in this state although there are areas where relatively serious losses have occurred following unusually severe weather, but in general there has always been a sufficient reservoir in protected areas to pro­ vide an early comeback. Another exotic species which have had phenom­ enal success in this area is the Hungarian partridge. It was introduced at a slightly later date than the pheasant in North Dakota. It is prob­ able that a considerable portion of our present stock of Huns came in from Canada where they were introduced at a somewhat earlier date. The Hungarian partridge is now the most widely distributed and prob­ ably the most common game bird in North Dakota. This partridge, how­ ever, seems to have become most numerous on the Missouri du Coteau area and the drift plain immediately to the east of this region.

It appears that North Dakota has a considerably greater stock of upland game and also migratory waterfowl than many of the more populous eastern states where fiOO.OOO or more small game licenses are issued annually. In North Dakota about 40,000 hunters go afield each year. In other words our hunting pressure is about one-tenth what it is in many eastern states.

It is evident then that if upland game can maintain itself in the states where the hunting pressure is great, it would be most difficult for the North Dakota hunters to take an adequate harvest of our potential game crop under ordinary circumstances. For those who are interested in tho commercial possibilities there is every indication that the supply NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 311 of upland game in North Dakota is such that thousands of non-resident hunters could be accommodated annually without adversely affecting our supply of this resource.

THE NORTH DAKOTA STATE PARK SYSTEM By Russell Reid, Superintendent, Historical Society

Although the primary functions of the State Historical Society of North Dakota are the preservation of books, manuscripts, photographs and museum material, the need for the preservation of historic sites is well recognized. The Society has been interested in the preservation of such historic sites for a long period of years and has been able to save many important areas from needless destruction. In 1904 in cooperation with old settlers associations the first historic sites were acquired and formed the nucleus of the present state park system. While North Dakota is a comparatively young state its citizens are much interested in preserving its history and little difficulty was ex­ perienced In securing adequate support for the preservation of historic sites. After the first historic sites were established it was noted that many visitors to historic sites not only enjoyed them because of their historic significance but they also enjoyed picnic or recreational facilities, if they were provided. Because of this need some areas were acquired

[BEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE NORTH DAKOTA BLUE MOOK—11)42 312 by the State Historical Society which had little or no historical signifi­ cance but which were desirable for park or recreational purposes. The State Historical Society has adopted general park policies which will properly safeguard historical and scenic areas. This policy provides for the preservation of native flora and fauna in their natural state as far a^'-tfi'is Is'pbssible."' If park'areas are "landscaped or developed only native plants may be used. All parks are game sanctuaries and a special effort is made to preserve native bird and animal life which is ut present In danger of extinction. Parks and historic sites are lo be developed in order that they may be properly used by (he public, but in no instance is anything to be done which will interfere with the historic significance of the area and in the case of recreational or scenic- parks an effort is made to keep them as natural as possible. Prior to. 1034 many important historic sites were acquired by the State Historical Society. These included the sites of military posts, fur trading posts, battlefields and archcologicnl areas. Unfortunately funds were not available to properly develop and mark many of the sites ac­ quired. U was felt, however, that the Society was performing a worth­ while service in acquiring these areas and safeguarding them from fur­ ther damage. In developing and maintaining these historic sites the Society received the active co-operation or local park hoards made up of interested citizens in the vicinity of each site. Many of these local boards have shown an active interest in their work and have been of much assistance to the State Historical Society in carrying on its park work. Although many valuable additions to the State park system were acquired prior to the advent of the Emergency Conservation Work pro­ gram, it can be truly said that the development of North Dakota state parks and historic sites really commenced with the establishment of the first CCC park camp assigned to the state. In February, 1034, the State Historical Society made application to the National Park Service requesting the services of CCC park camps to develop North Dakota park areas. As the result of the applications submitted, park camps were assigned in North Dakota to develop state and metropolitan areas. Active cooperation between a state agency and the Federal Govern­ ment had not been contemplated when laws setting forth the duties of the State Historical Society were enacted. Although it was felt that existing statutes authorized the State Historical Society to accomplish park development in any way possible, it was thought that additional legislation would be desirable. In 193"» with this thought in mind legis­ lation was drawn authorizing the State Historical Society to appoint a State Parks Committee with the advice and consent of the Governor. After tho legislation was enacted and approved by the Governor the directors of the State Historical Society sent him the names of the follow­ ing directors: George F. Will, Russell Reid, Robert Byrne. O. G. Libby and Dana Wright. By the approval of the Governor, these persons constituted the State Parks Committee. lBEST OR ONLY COPY AVAILABLE]! 314 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942

Although North Dakota has made excellent progress In acquiring lor public use state parks and historic sites, our present state park system cannot be considered adequate for future needs. An analysis of existing conditions and requirements of the people of North Dakota has, first, developed the advisability of the preservation of historic sites for the education and enjoyment of the people, has, second, demonstrated the need for extensive state parks or outstanding scenic and natural areas protected for the use of present and future population. It is not expected that the state-owned areas will supply all of the recreational needs of our people but rather that they should supplement areas which are provided by county and municipal governments. Since it is obvious that the state cannot preserve all historic areas which may have some state significance, a careful survey is being made by the State Parks Committee of all areas in the state which have been recommended for acquisition by the state. By following such a procedure it is hoped that . state parks and historic sites may be kept on a high standard and it is felt that the difficulty which would be experienced in maintaining many small sites may be eliminated.

It is not possible in this article to adequately describe the various units of North Dakota's State Park System. However, the annotated list here given briefly describes the principal features of the state parks, the historic sites and the recreational areas now under the care of the State Parks Committee and of the State Historical Society.

STATE PARKS Fort Lincoln State Park

This park is located 4½ miles south of Mandan. It was established in 1908, when a 75 acre tract was received by the Historical Society from the Government of the United States. The original tract of land has been increased by purchase and riparian accretions and now contains 750 acres of land.

The park development, which has been completed by means of a CCC camp and a WPA project, consists of the restored block houses and palisades of Fort McKeen and the definition of the sites of all buildings of Fort Abraham Lincoln, together with appropriate descriptive markers. Five earth lodge houses of Slant Village, which was occupied by the Mandan Indians over 200 years ago. have been restored.

In order that the story of Fort Lincoln and Slant Indian Village may be told in an adequate manner, a large museum has been erected at the central administration area. The museum building is constructed of native granite and is modern In every respect. The museum displays are unique In character and represent the most modern manner of dis­ playing museum exhibits.

ONE OF THIS Nl'MKRIOUS STATIC PARKS

In. addition to the historical restorations, three picnic ureas have been developed which contain all of the etpiipment necessary for the convenience of the public.

International Peace Garden Park This park is located 13 miles north of Dunseith. The International Peace Garden comprises an area of about 2,200 acres, situated on the longest unfortified international boundary of the world. There are 888 acres in North Dakota and the balance of the park area is in Manitoba, Canada. The development of the North Dakota portion of the Inter­ national Peace Garden has been accomplished by CCC camps sponsored by the State Historical Society in cooperation with the National Park Service.

Elaborate plans for the formal garden area have been approved and work on the formal garden area has already begun. It is expected that the development as planned may require several years. The completed park development will include housing facilities for caretakers and workmen, and a large nursery to provide for the proper maintenance of the formal garden area.

Lake Metigoshe State Park This park is located adjacent to Lake Metigoshe, lf> miles north of Bottineau, and contains GG2 acres. This lake is the largest and one of the most attractive lakes In the Turtle Mountains. The park is heavily wooded, birch, oak and aspen being the principal trees. Native shrubs of various species and woodland flowers are found in abundance. White- tailed deer and many small game and fur bearing mammals are common, white water fowl, upland game birds, song and insectivorous birds are numerous. Lake Metigoshe lodge is a large substantial structure which provides modern accommodations for over 200 persons. The lodge is equipped with sleeping dormitories, recreational rooms and quarters for adminis­ trative assistants. A large dining room and kitchen are located in an adjoining building. For several years the lodge has been used by organized groups and as the facilities offered by Metigoshe lodge are popular, its capacity is often taxed. North Roosevelt Park and South Roosevelt Park The first of these parks is 1G miles south of Watford City and contains 11.9S2 acres. The second is at Medora and contains 3G.159 acres. These, the largest parks in the state, are located in the famous Badlands. ''Both areas are being developed as Recreational Demonstra­ tion Projects by the National Park Service in cooperation with the State Historical Society of North Dakota. In order to show its interest the State Historical Society acquired small tracts of land in both Roose­ velt areas to provide work for CCC park camps until plans for Federal land purchase programs are completed. Plans are now being made for the development of both Badlands areas by the National Park Service and it is to be hoped that th^y will eventually become a part of the National Park System and be designated as national monuments. The Badlands are not only beautiful and of exceptional geological interest but they furnish recreation for people who enjoy the atmosphere provided by a ranch country so typical of the West. Turtle River State Park This park, G miles east of Larlmore contains 475 acres and is located in the winding valley of the Turtle River which has cut a deep channel in the delta of glacial Elk River near the western shore line of glacial Lake Agassiz. The wooded areas of this park provide some of the finest picnic areas to be found in the state. These picnic areas have been fully developed and are now provided with roads, parking NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 317

The large recreational lodge has been completed which will take care of the needs of large organized groups. A bath house and a well developed bathing pool and beach greatly add to the attractiveness of this park.

Recreational Areas Park areas which are too small to classify as state parks have been designated us recreational parks. Many of the following state-owned areas have important recreational facilities and are much used "by local communities: Beaver Lake in Logan County Doyle Memorial in Mcintosh County Fred Smith in Stutsman County Homer in Stutsman County Smokoy Lake In McHenry County Stree'.er Memorial in Kidder County Strong Memorial In Ransom County

Historical Sites All state-ovncd areas containing historic significance are designated as historic sites. Many of these historic sites contain important restora­ tions or developments. Some have not. at the present time, been properly marked or developed. Areas which have been adequately developed and marked Include the de Mores Historic Site at Medora, David Thompson Historic Site at Verendrye, Fort Abercrombie Historic Site, Fort Rice Historic Site, and Whitestone Hill Historic Site in Dickey County. Descriptive markers have been placed on many other historic sites and plans are being made for the proper marking of all state-owned areas. In addition to the sites already named, the following areas are deemed to be of statewide Imporlance and are under the care of the State Parks Committee: Birch Creek. Camp Arnold, Camp Corning, Camp Weiser and Camp Sheardown, nil in Barnes County Butte St. Paul in Bottineau County Fort Dilts in Bowman County Palmer's Spring in Benson County Chaska, Double Ditch and Menoken in Burleigh County Buffalo Creek in Cass County Hudson in Dickey County Writing Rock in Divide County Camp Kimball in Foster County Burman, McPhail's Butte in Kidder Comity Fort Mandan in McLean County Crowley Flint Quarry and Fort Clark in Mercer County Huff Indian villuge in Morton County Molander Indian village in Oliver County Oak Lawn, Pembina, and Walhalla In Pembina County St. Claude In Rolette County Camp Grant am1 Fort Sew rd In Stutsman County ' Fort Buford and Fort Union in Williams County NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK—1942 319 A LIST OF BOOKS ABOUT NORTH DAKOTA FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR STATE By Lillian Elizabeth Cook, Secretary and Director State Library Commission Indians Byrne, P.
