but the wheat is of a very fine quality
and will certainly yield over 20 bushels
per acre, and the oats about 30 bushels
per acre. John j. JacKman had 40 bush
els of oats per acre on Is acres and ~
bushels of wheat per acre on four acres.
DR.. Slaughter sowed two acres of oats in

The Hayes farm is situated six miles
north of Bismarck. It ls owned by Pres.
ident r. B. Hayes and associates and
managed by Chas. M. Cushman. 1t com
prises one section Of $40 acres and one
quarter section in the immediate vicini-
ty. It had 200 acres of wheat this year
and 12O acres Of oats, and Mr.. Cushman
has added 200 acres more breaking, max
ing $50 acres ready for crop next year.
The grain is not threshed yet but the
wheat will surely yield over 20 bushels
and the oats about so bushels per acre.
THE STARK FARM
is owned by Mclean & Nacnlder. It
lies three miles south of Bismarck, on
Apple Creek. 1t consists Of $40 acres and
is nearly all fenced. There was 400 acres
in wheat this year and $50 acres in oats.
The threshing is not done yet but the
farm is certain to average above twenty
bushels of wheat and about so of oats per
acre. Robt. Maenider, one Of the owners
of this farm, has homestead Of 16O acres
Immediately adjoining on which he had
80 acres of wheat this year, and John A.
Mclean, the other proprietor, has 160
acres near the Clark farm on which he
had 80 acres in oats this year.
THE CLARKE FARM.
This farm is situated ten miles east Of
Bismarck and produces its first crop this
year. The breaking was done last year
out of season and some of it very poorly
done, and only small portion of the
ground backset. The result was from
305 acres Of wheat $500 bushels, from
395 Of oats 15,010 bushels. The grain was
seriously affected by the prolonged drouth
and yet the return, 18 bushels of wheat
and 80 of oats per acre is very satisfactory.
TO the 700 acres under cultivation this
year 400 acres of breaking have been ad-
ded, making 100 acres for cultivation
next year. The oats will bring fifty
cents a bushel at the farm and the wheat
seventy-tive making the value of the crop
$11,557.50.
THE STEELE FARM
consists of 6,400 acres, forty two miles
east of Bismarck. It had LAO acres in
wheat and oats this year. The wheat is
acknowledged by ali to be the best on the
line of the North Pacific. It stood even
]y on the ground, the heads were large
and we'll filled, and while it has not been
threshed every test that can be applied
shows that the yield will prove to be over
40 bushels per acre--and considerable
over that amount, too-of wheat and 70
bushels of oats. 1t is owned and man.
aged Ly Mr.. w. F. Steele, formerly of
Milwaukee, who has broken about 1 900
in addition to the lao in crop for use
next summer. At the Standing Rock In
dian agency there are 800 Indians farm
ing from five to ten acres each. Giving
them an average of FIVE acres and twenty
bushels per acre, they have. raised this
yea, not less than 10000 bushels uf corn,
not TO speak of vegetables. AT the eagency
farm there was 300 acres in wheat which
produced 3,104 bushels and 1870 acres in
oats which produced 2,510 bushels. The
grain became too ripe and much Of it was
lost in harvesting and handling because
the agency farmer and employees were
called away when it should have been
cut, on court duties At the ''.'
FORT BERTHOLD AGENCY @ =
there was 700 acres IN oats which gave
about so bushels per acre and a large
amount of corn planted by the Indians
At Strawberry Island Lanning s. Grin
nell had about 14O acres in oats at Little
Muddy Robert Mathews 800 acres in
wheat and oats, and at a point ten miles
below Fort ,Buford Leighton & Jordan

great and the quality even better than.
about Bismarck but tho returns from the.
thresherare not in. Opposite Standing
Rock on the east side PASCAL Smith has
opened a farm OF 320 acres; Wade Il Nc:
Crory one OF about 100 acres, and Louis
Agard and Jake Houser each about 40
acres. They raised corn and miscella-
