Scenic North Dakota OR cuts of views representing scenic North Dakota, the Agawasic staff hereby expresses their gratitude to the Department of Agriculture and Labor, to the North Dakota State College, to the State Historical Department and to the Science School Print shop. We want the scenic values of our state to be more widely known. There arc many other sections of the country whose scenery is reckoned notable, not because it excels our own but because it has been more widely advertised. A great number of our citizens, poorly realizing the vastness and variety of our state, fail to appreciate the fact that we are not only rich in waving prairies and fruitful plains, but in hills, mountains, lakes and rivers—that as to woods even, there is enough forest-land in our supposedly unforcsted state to cover the whole area of some of the smaller eastern states. Nowhere on earth can be duplicated the grandly rugged formations in the Badlands. Consider that these adjoin the Black Hills of South Dakota and the foothills of the Rockies in Montana and Wyoming, and realize that you have in this section a wonderland, rich incidentally in historical association. Again, in contrast to this ruggedness, there arc the wooded shorts of the Big Missouri and other rivers, the quiet hilly, forest-clad beauty of the Turtle Mountains, and the attractive park systems of numerous towns and citks. Our space permits no more words on this subject, but perhaps we have said enough to suggest that our own citizens might raise the slogan. “See North Dakota First.” For the visitor who loves scenic beauty we have a great deal well worthy of his attention.
