When Senator Blair once spoke of the
Chinese population of this country as a
"seething, roaring, blood-curdIing curse, "
he had no anticipation of ever becoming
minister to China Nor had the gentle
manly attache of the Chinese embassy any
such idea when, in commenting upon
BIMr'S criticism, he said: Mr. Blair is
not bad man, rough-spoken though he
may be- Inside his shell of bIustcr and

which binds them to handle only trust
starch, not to cut prices and allow

IS WHEAT INJURED?
High Winds and Dry Weather Not
Favorable to the Plant.


The wheat fields are not being bene-
fitted by this weather. The fall as was
noted in yesterdays weather report,
has been unusually dry although the
years rainfall is above the average.
The soil was not in the best of condi-
zion for sowing grain at any time
during the fall and as result although
the growth is even it is not large or
rank, as Was the case last year. The
high winds have dried out the highland
fields still more and experienced farm
ers are saying that it is injuring the
crops condition.
The fact that the growth is even will
prove the salvation of the crop if
plenty of snow falls this winter and
the spring brings plenty of moisture.
In any event there will be good aver
age crop and since the farmers are not
dependent on any one cereal there is
nothing to worry over. The acreage is
large and Dickinson will come out as
usual all right.
