=. l.. Olson: Three years ago
one third of my entire wheat crop
was affected by smut. I stacked it
and let it remain in stack for six
weeks, until it was through the
sweating process and had become
thoroughly dry. In threshing, every
particle OF smut was blown out. and
l sold the wheat for No. hard. The
trouble with threshing smutty wheat
ont OF shock is that it is apt not to
bedry, and in themornings especially
the heavy dews will wet the wheat
and cause the smut to adhere to the
kernels.
- Chas. Burseth arrived from N. D.

= lver Ophus, OF Fodvang, called
at the SHEAF office last Saturday,
and as he handed over $3.50 for a
years subscription, he remarked =
81 suppose this is your harvest"
Yes, it is our,.haryest, and we have
only one Sheaf to thresh. Mr.. Ophus
has flock of 800 sheep, and the 9th
er week he shipped nearly 100 lbs of
wool, netting him 10 cts. per pound.
r. W. Woodward brought in
from the Snake River Farm the 9th
er day some remarkably fine samples
OF vegetables. consisting OF potatoes,
onions, beets, carrots, turnips, cab.
bnges, and cauliflower. Though
this is curly in the season aud al
most two months remain for growth,
yet they were OF the size usually at
tanned at maturity in ordinary
years. The growth OF vegcts bles il,
MARSHALL county this year is some
thing phenomenal, ami we are conf
dent can not be equalel anywhere
else in the United Stiltes. The pota-
to yield will be marvellous. Another
farmer says lie counted 81 good
sized potntors out of one hill, be-
sides many little ones. The SHEAF
suggests that the Warren Board of
Trade in cooperation with farmers
that may he interested, get up n dis
play OF Marshall county products
and send to the State Fair. A fine
display can be obtained easily this
year and would speak OF our wonder
ful resources much louder than
words.
About eighty Warrenites went
to Crookston, Monday, to see and
hear the only and original Mark
Twain, and to say that none OF
them were disappointed, is putting
it mildly. Foralmost two hours the
large audience sat there interested
and simmering with amusement, as
he recitel some Of his hest stories,
unfolding gently the rich and varied
stores OF wit and hnmor for which he
has become noted. There is an air
of seriousness behind Twain's hum
or, he stops frequently to quainLly
philosophers and draw conclusions
from his observations. His stories
portray vivi,Ily human life and ac-
tion, and serve generally to point
out some moral which it will be well
to heed. Samuel Lnnghorne Glenn
ems, nlins Mark Twain, is now 60
years OF age, yetin spite OF his gray
locks, his wit is always fresh and
young. May he live many more
years to cheer the hearts OF his coun-
trymenl He has always been fond OF
travelling, his books being to 9
large extent vivid accounts OF his
iourneyings, and now he has started
on a tour around the world Tor the
