Frank Mead on the CroDs.

Frank J. Mead, who is making a tour
of North Dakota for the Minneapolis
Tribune, is now visiting the Missouri
slope section. He spent Thursday in
Bismarck and yesterday in Mandan. In
his last article, in comparing the pros
pective wheat yield of this year with that
of former years, Mr.. Mead says:
In 1882 I visited the Steele farm, Just
east of Bismarck, at that time widely
advertised az producing the heaviest
crop of wheat for the number of acres
ever grown in North Dakota. 1t went, I
think, 36 bushels per acre for the entire
farm. Every field visited by me this
year seems to surpass that of the Steele
farm in 18S2-some Of them very large
ly. There has lever been known in the
history of wheat raising in the North.
west, l think, such uniform excellence in
the crop. So far as my observation has
extended there is but very little lodged
wheat, none has been injured by success
i've moisture, hot winds or
hail. The fields from one end
of the valley to the other
stand upright, as thick as possible on the
ground and all of a uniform height. And
the heads surpass anything aver before
seen in size and the grain in plumpness.
Dealers who expect to reduce grades be-
low No. l hard and No. l northern this
year will be disappointed-unless a
warm and damp harvest intervenes.
About the only danger to the crops
which can transpire, it seems to me, will
be a long series of rains mixed with hot
weather. The yield is so tremendous
that it will be a physical impossibility
to stack, and if warm rains should come
there would be a vast reduction in grade
through grown wheat. At present, how
ever, there seems to be no danger of
this.

Board of Equalization,

The third day of the state board of
equalization was like the second-a
strictly business transaction and from
morning until evening the different
matters presented were acted upon
promptly and expeditiously. Under the
head of "all other cattle two years old and
over the board adopted as a basis 500
and on this rate the percentums of in
crease or reduction will be certified to
the county auditors. "Mules and asses''
were placed at $50, sheep at $1.75 and
hogs at 1915. Everything else on the
abstracts returned from the counties was
confirmed as returned. Several COM
munications were received concerning
the much perplexing question of deduc-
tions, but the state board concluded it
was a matter strictly for the county
officials to attend to and took no action
on the matter n way or the other.
The matter of assessing the property
of the Western Union telegraph company
came up and was discussed at length. It
was found that but few, if any, of the
counties had returned any assessment
against this company and the state audi
tor was directed to notify the county
auditors of this fact and direct them to
proceed in accordance with the provis.
ions of the revenue law, which provides
that omitted items of personal property
might be added to the rolls at any time.
The matter of the shares of national
bank stock also received considerable
vent lation and the board recommended
to the governor that he call the atten-
ton of the next legislature to the diff
Guilty in the assessment and that suitable
legislation be enacted to cover the
trouble. AS it now stands it is i'm
possible for the state board to remedy
what they believe to be unequal ASSESS
ment.
The rate of the state tax for the en-
suing year was levied at four mills for
general revenue purposes and seven
tenths of a mill for interest on the state
debt. This is practically the same levy
as last year.
There being no further business the
board adjourned sine die and the differ
ent members took the east bound trains
for their homes.
