The farmers, as well as everybody else, he
says. are feeling very much elated over the
outlook, and if everything goes right for the
next few weeks wonderful crop of wheat
will be harvested
'Ihear people who live outside Of North
Dakota talking about the state being desert
outside the Red river valley he said yes
terday. Il wish those same people would
take trip through the Jim river valley now:
they couldn'thelp changing their minds. To
be sure we have had bad years, but can you

We have the most fertile soil on earth. and
when the farmers are established and pro-
duce something beside wheat. you will hear
no more of crop failures and droughts.''
