The Gospel of the Plow and Prairie Progress
A long defense of agriculture as modern science and the drive to settle the western prairie. The article argues cultivation stores moisture, expands farming west of the hundredth meridian, and envisions railroads and new towns as the region develops under plows and irrigation. It also surveys John Worst as a potential North Dakota governor candidate and notes Emmons county bids for a portable engine.
