Acre Farm.
Special Dupateh to The Chicago Tribune. -
BISMARCK, D. T., July 31.-A touro North
ern Dakota, just as the reapers are starting
in, conyfnces your correspondent that Dakota
is about to harvest her greatest .Wheatcrop.
The average is better than former years !;
there will. be very little wheat with less than
eighteen bushels to the acre, and some coun-
ties will probably average twenty bushels.
Many farms ranging from 500 10 10000 acres
will average from twenty-five to tair-
ty-five bushels per acre. The Red
River Valley and Missouri Valley are
striving for the supremacy in point
of bushels to the acre. The new sections are
showing up admirably rs wlleat-produelng
areas. The weather is cool, pleasant, and in
every respect almost ideal for the Tipening
crops. -.
The Fl. 3. Payne party. of Ohio, and the
Osborne, Garrison, and BoWleS party from
New York and massachusetts,, are now
travelling over the country in palace cars Of
their own, anu intend to be on Dalrymple's
