The Dakota farmer Is now begin
ming to smile. Wheat has reached the
so cent point and is still going up
slowly. The supply and demand is
the cause; but the Journal and other
Populist papers will never acknowledge
it. 1t is contrary to their politics to
acknowledge the truth. 1t is quite
likely that wheat will bring 60 cents
per bushel before the middle of next
month, and our farmers say they can
make money raising 60 cent wheat.
Prof. Hicks says the weather tor
the latter part of September will likely
be about as follows: "On the 22nd the
equator cuts the sun, making day and
night equal everywhere. From the
2lst to the Goth the center of autum-
nal equinox is passed. Dangerous
storm possibilities occur about the
22nd to the 25th inclusive. A polar
wave will spread from the northwest
after the storms, changing the rain,
possibly, into early sleet or snow.
Very cool weather will follow, generally
up to the closing days of the month,
at which time it will grow warmer, and
reactionary storms will be on as the
month expires.
