Mr.. Cummins intends to try . few bush
els of the grain in Dakota soil next year,
aud if it does ~ we'll here as it did in
Michigan it will be a profitable crop.

THERE seems to be no question, as far
As the result Of the last harvest has been
ascertaincd, that Fall wheat has been the
most profitable crop. The farmers that
have tried it for the last two years have
been eminently successful in securing a
fine yield and a very good quality. This
year the Fall wheat was sc far advanced
that the hot weather did not injure it at
all. and as it ripened ahead Of barley and
oats the harvest was much easier managed.
We are inclined to think that the farmers
had best sow considerable wheat this
fall, ~ the last two years seem to prove
that it is a more certain crop.

cry is creating rs much excitement in the
densely populated agricultural districts
OF the east As the opening ola new gold
region in the far west. The capitalists
are hurrying to invest in the new wheat
lands, and the young men bred on small
farms are lockiug out to Dakota to plow
fields miles wide and harvest hundreds of
thousands of bushels of wheat. Farm

The farming movement In and the
fariners' movement towards Dakota have
already enlisted both enterprise and cap
ital n the new wheat field. and still more
startling developments are in store for
the near future. Dakota's contribution
to the wheat crop this year is put down
at fifteen million bushels, and this Is be
lieved to be . very moderate estimate.
This is an entirely new field and the
general bulk Of the wheat crop is from
. source which has hot heretofore been
taken into account among the wheat
producing regions. The discovery aud
development Of this great wheat field are
introducing novelties into agriculture
