this year. There WIFE be little No. wheat

make the best of it, !: c>.,:
| Granite Falls Journal, Aug. 8: The wheat
hereiis better than is generally reported, al
! though grain that was not cut before the last
heavy rain is shrunken and Hscolored. Our
farmers need not feel too much the loss of
one-third of their grain, as with their losses
the price of wheat will correspondingly in
crease.

Sank Rapids Sentinel. We are informed
that, prairie chickens are abundant in this
county this year. and it is intimated that the
game law in regard to the killing of the
same is being violated. This law is violated
more Or less every year, and it should either
be modified SO that it can be enforced, or if
this 'can not be done, let st be wiped from
the statute book. A law that can not be en-
forced is worse than no law at all.

rage on thirteen-year-old Norwegian girl
at Adams, who was engaged in herding cattle
some distance from the house. He gagged
her, tied her hands, and then perpetrated

and it is hoped his capture will be effected.

several good citizens vending their way to
the harvest field last Sunday morning. Ne
cessity knows no law. A large amount of
grain will be lost in this section in conse-
quence of the scarcity of harvest hands and
the lodged condition of the grain. Anton
Schafer is one of the unlucky farmers this
year. He has a seyenty-fve acre field of
Lost Nation wheat which IS So tangled, rust
ed and smutted that he concluded it would
not pay to cut it.

Rochester Record and Union, Aug. 9:
The opinion is expressadf that wheat will
not be over half a crop, and portion of
that unstable. There is apprehension that
much of the wheat will not be. Fit for either
flour or feed Mr.. Bamber relates his ex-
perlence with winter Wheat ii Ohio, where,
one wet season, several years since, the
grain was blighted and turned red at one
end, making what was- known as sssick
j wheat. He says his hogsrefused to touch
the bran asecondl time, and the flour was
worthless, There is. probably very little
wheat in Southern Minnesota Chat was not
more or less injured by the scaldlng hot

Sherburne County STAR .Aug. 9: From
present Indications there are very few, if
any, Counties h the State that will have a
better crop of wheat this year than old Sher-
burne county. And still there are lots of
people who think the soil in Sherburne

thing on. The largest corn field in the State
of Minnesota is in Sherburn county and con-
talus 900 acresssItfis close by Becker station.
