F. Flint, commissioner
lure, has given an impetus to Ihe
plan by asking the cooperation of
all the country newspapers in Ihe
state to induce their readers to
write personal letters to old friends
“back home”. Those farmers who
are well situated and who have
prospered are urged to write their
friends and relatives in Ihe older
states, in the cities and in Euope,
loo, telling them or their success,
of the resources of the state, how
they raise corn, clover, alfalfa, cat
tle and hogs and in fact, to try and
induce those friends to break away
from the cities and the older com
munities and settle in North Da
kota.
'I'lie' plan seems to be a good one
and doubtless will result in a great
gain in the population of North Da
kota. But the plan need not lie
confined to that state alone. Any
prosperous rural community can
benefit itself if its energetic men
and women will help to spread the
gospel of country life. Almost ev
ery one of our readers can think of
some friend or relative now strug
gling along in some town or city
helio, if transplanted to a modest
farm, would lie healthier, happier
and more proseprous than they are
at present. Let our readers try the
North Dakota plan. Write to your
friends, tell them what you are lin
ing and what you mean to do.
Point out to them that farming to
day is nrtl what it was 40, 30 or
even ten years ago. Write to your

I want lo commend Dr. Hardman
to the people of Georgia, first, lie-
