Abstract

North Dakota's Experiment
MacDonald, William | March 22, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

On the face of things this much seemed clear: either North Dakota, completely in the control of the organization Nonpartisan League, was headed straight for destruction, or else it was the one State in the Union in which the millennium had actually begun to arrive. Nothing that was read or heard suggested the possibility of a middle ground. Most of the farms of North Dakota are mortgaged, the amount of such mortgages aggregating more than $27,000,000. In order to pay the interest, which usually comes due in the fall, the farmers have been compelled to sell their wheat or live stock in the fall, soon after the harvest, when prices were lowest.
