LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

James Callaghan Writes His Impressions of North Dakota. Surrey, N. D., July 10. Editor: I thought I would write you a few facts about North Dakota that have come under my observation that may be of interest to some of your readers. I arrived at Parshall, North Dakota, on March 29 in the midst of a blizzard. The next day there were no trains run over the road on account of a snow blockade. On April 4 the thermometei registered below zero. My brother, who lives on a farm near Parshall, told me he had kept a daily record of the temperature during January and February and the daily average was 19 degrees below zero. On April 20 in the vicinity of Parshall the ground was covered with about three inches of snow. I saw a man hauling hay on a bobsled on that day. On April 22 I went from Parshall to Minot and on that trip I saw hundreds of acres of wheat and oats in shock and also some in stack that they were unable to get thrashed before the winter snows came. A person looking at that grain could not help but think that th? I caland.er.had slipped a cog and that it was September instead of April. On May 1 northeast of Minot I saw winter snow banked (in protected places) some 10 feet in depth. Nevertheless I believe North Dakota has more native boomers than any state I know of. If by any chance you happen to make a disparaging remark about North Dakota within the hearing of a resident

there is not a man, woman nor child but what will take up a cudgel in its defense. The greatest drawback to North Dakota is its dry years. But the residents don’t seem to mind them. They accept them as a matter of course, as they would the measles or whooping cough. It never rains too much in North Dakota. As a resident remarked, “that where it rained too much it just rained enough.” I will state that the people here are healthy and contented and are prospering and I think a man with a little energy could do well here. Your friend,
