A S WE PREDICTED 
. they would, condi¬ 
tions changed very 
much for the better 
this past season and 
we have good crops of 
practically everything 
but wheat. To celebrate 
the plenty of 19 35 we 
have shown on our 
cover the harvest cere- 
' mony of the Mandan 
Indians. The venerable 
Corn Priest who had 
watched the fields dll 
through the summer, 
always wrapped in a. 
heavy buffalo robe, at 
last directed that the 
post shown in the pic¬ 
ture be erected. He 
then tied the buffalo robe as shown about the post and told the women that the crop from 
their fields when piled up about the post would be sufficient to reach up to the robe. And then 
he withdrew, not to appear again till the corn was picked and his word proven true. 
The Ankara lady in the picture on this page has also cause for thanksgiving over a good 
harvest of the cotn which has matured here in North Dakota year after year for several cen¬ 
turies. 
Perhaps we had better, to a large extent, forget the wheat which our predecessors in the 
land did not need, concentrate on the things which we know we can produce — corn, vege¬ 
tables, feed crops, live stock, and we shall be successful in spite of drouth, rust and bugs, pro¬ 
viding we try to help keep the proper balance of nature and do not overgraze and overcrop. 
We wish to all our customers a still better year for 1936. 
Sincerely, 
OSCAR H. WILL & CO.
