HARvEsTfss ~ TEE xoRrHwI8r.
Sr. PAUL, Aug. lT.--Harvesting is
well under ay all over the northwest,
and the proEn Sc Of Big crop is being
more fulsfied. Instead Of averaging
fifteen to twenty bushels TO the acre
wheat Is turning out from
twenty-five 70 thirty bushels, and
The increased yisid from an iu-
creased acreage makes $4,000, 900
bushels The minimum product for the
Dakotas and Minnesota Other grains
are close 20 wheat oats especially
turning oys well. There Is great
trouble in getting labor 10 handle the
tn1 snse crop. and the railroads are hard
at work preparing to handle the grain
The lack of storage facilities will
compel the great majority Of the farm
ers TO dispose Of their grain soon, and
transportation facilities viii be taxed
TO the utmost Tho weather for har-
vesting is al that could be desired.
FoRf poDas. Ia. Aug. 1.-THE
farmers Of northwestern Iowa are be-
siegsd by sn army OF agents of eastern
elevators. commission houses. etc-. who
wish 70 contract for al thrashed and
unshrashcd crops for Septem Der and
October delivery. Lower prices
than those OF last year are
offered on the strength of the
general bountiful harvest Many
of the farmers have thus sold their
crops in advance. but the majority have
heard OF the shortage in European
countries and will hold their grain for
higher prices IL 10 thought that the
bulk Of the crops in this vicinity will
not be marketed until . month later
than usual this year.
