On This Day | Looking on the Bright Side

We have had fat years and lean years and both will come again. Farmers find drawbacks in every locality. Up here in northwestern North Dakota, the Advance points out that one man can farm more land in a dry year from this than he can in a great many other localities. When he hits a good year he is in clover. The difficulty is that if you survive against such a season as we are experiencing this year, perhaps 1934 will have its valuable lessons which many of us will have learned.
