WHEAT PROSPECTS.
The 1892 Crop a Fair One
But Not Equal to
Last Year.
Harvest in Progress. - No
Damage Yet From
Frost.
Changes in Voting Precincts
"A New Train
Schedule.

A yer ego, August 23rd, there was a
killing frost in the northwest, causing
damage to crops throughout the northern
part of this state. This year, the indi-
cations are that no frost will put IN an
appearance before the 1st of September
and that the favorable weather may con-
tinue even longer than two weeks from
this date II the frost is delayed, the
crop will be out of danger and prove a
big thing for the country, as large por-
ton of the wheat has already been har-
vested in the southern part of the state
and cutting Is progressing at lively
rate in this county. One or two farmers
say they will finish this week. Others
have three weeks work ahead of them,
owing to the large acreage and the late
ripening of the grain. But an unusually
large number OF binders are in service,
and all available help is being utilized to
safely secure the wheat in advance of
any possible damage which might result
from sudden change in the present
auspicious weather. Harvest hands are
rather abundant in this vicinity and the
efforts of railroad companies to get men
here are bearing fruit. There have been
no combinations to raise the price of
work in cutting and shocking. Wages
are running from Sl.5O to Sl.75 and
seldom any over that figure. In thresh-
ing the wages will probably advance to
$500 per day.
The yield of wheat is not going to be
as large as many anticipated, and there
are doubts as to the effects of rust and
hot weather. When grain is threshed it
presents different appearance from
when first cut. The crop will be secured
early, however, and the farmers will have
time to plow back their land and do the
necessary fall work, which could not be
done last year owing to wet weather and
the early winter.
The price of wheat is not very salts
factory, being quoted at Duluth Mon
day at 80 cents for cash No. hard. If
there was big crop this low price would
not be SO greatly noticed, but with
moderate crop the low figures are not en-
conraging to the individual farmer. The
state generally will be immensely bene-
flied by the crop, however. 1t will again
demonstrate the wealth producing ca
pacity of the coil and prove fine adver-
tisement for North Dakota.

GRAIN MARKETS.

OOssSA s~Sss
St. Paul Globe: Then-The farmer
drove into the village with his load Of
grain. Two, three, half dozen pleasant
fellows, full Of jokes and quips, saluted
him affably, climbed on his wagon,
cracked Jokes with him and chaffed each
other, opened the sacks, sampled his
grain. The farmer vas the important
parsonage in such a crowd. Each buyer
was anxious to secure his custom. They
courted him; paid him attentions; called
him Mister, asked after the good wife
and the family. The farmer felt bis value
to these men. He turned their jokes,
parried their chaff, and sold his grain to
the man who gave him the best price.
In all the bargaining that hateful and
ominous word "grade," now SO cor1mon,
was never heard. The buyers may have
had it in their minds as they sampled
the grain and made up their minds what
they could give for it, but it never passed
their lips. The farmer knew the run Of
the markets and about what his grain
was worth, and when that price was
touched in the bidding he let it go. took
his ticket and went off to the warehouse
or elevator and unloaded; got his check,
cashed it, bought his supplies and went
home feeling thai among men he counted
as an important factor.
Now-The farmer drives to the village.
No one meets him or cares to, except
possibly the merchant who has chattel
mortgage on his crop to secure last years
grocery bill. Up at the depot are one,
two, perhaps three elevators to
which he drives. These later-day
buyers sit in their doors and await
him. A spider crouched in his web
waiting for the fly typities them. He
has to pick the elevator to which he will
sell. The agents wait his driving onto
the platform. They have to. Their
orders are to do so; never, under any
circumstances, to go out and bid. Why?
1t would cause competition and these
later-day grain men hate competition as
the devil is said to hate holy water.
They don't have to come to him-he has
to go to them: The only question with
him is which will cheat him the least
and 1t ls question he never answers
satisfactorily to himself.
He selects one elevator and drives up
the incline to the door. IT the price
doesn't suit bin he can drive away. His
grain is docket for dirt, and he can only
growl If it is too much. Then ''draw'
is taken to compensate for the lean back
of his tired horses. Then the grade is
fixed, and, if he doubts it, the deft hand
OF the agent fills the brass kettle SO as to
make the grade he wants. How much
he is cheated on weight depends on the
greed or fear of the buyer. The farmer
knows it is just the same at the other
elevators. He takes what he can get
and goes home. he is not the important
factor he was. The buyers have turned
the tables on him. They are the fellows
he must cringe to now.

The "Whyness Of the Which,"

Fargo Forum: A few days ago D. C.
Griffin of Jamestown, wrote a letter to
The Alert, which has stirred up a good
deal Of rumpus. Mr.. Griffin seems to
be under the impression that all persons
who sell liquor should be treated alike
by the authorities, apparently forgetting
that practical politics often call for the
making of distinction where there is
no difference. For instance it has been
noticed that under the reform admins
tration in Fargo those lady boarding
house keepers who sell beer at the regu-
latlon price Of 81 bottle are unmolested
but anybody who sells it for so cents has
her house pulled twice in month. Mr..
Griffin should consider the whyness of
the which-so to speak-and make al
lowances.
