Times will Re No Worse.

Grand Forks Plaindealer The failure
in some instances and partial failures in
others may affect the times somewhat,
but business all over the United States
cannot he worse than it has been the past
year. There will be considerable
amount of money brought into this part
OF the country, and also considerable
amount of wheat to sell. Those farmers
who have lost all their crops will find no
particular trouble IN getting extensions,
and the most serious trouble will be the
setback to them. A good crop this year
would have advanced the country, while
the partial failure will leave it in about
the same condition it has been. A slight
advance in the price of wheat is possible,
and that alone will AID in keeping up
what has heretofore been cat-ralsing

Political.

In many of the counties of Dakot
conventions of one or both parties have
been held. In this county both the he.
publicans and Democrats have organi-
zations-the former for work, the latter
for play. The County Republican Com
mittee, as chosen by the county conven-
ton of 1884, is as follows:
Gayton-James B. Clayton.
Winchester-S. B. Rolfe.
Winopa-J. Il. Pitts.
Cherry Grove-Robert Buchanan.
Glanavon-John Powers.
Williamsport-H. A. Armstrong.
Buroak-Donald Stevenson.
Logan-Ed. Savage.
AS Mr.. Rolfe, chairman of the commit.
tee, is not residing in the county at pres
cnt, and no secretary was chosen, it would
seem that a meeting of the committee
must be called by all or majority of its
members.

Careful CULTIVATION PAYS.

Between tue drouth and bad cultiva.
tion, says the Dickinson Press, crops will
fall short of an average yield the present
season. One fact, however, has been
fully demonstrated, and that is that
where the ground was thoroughly culti-
vatcd, plowed deeply, and grain we'll COW
cred, tile yield will not fall much below
the average. When farmers recognize
these facts, and cultivate their land as it
should be, they will not be SO liable to
loss by dry weather.
