CROOKSTON, Mimi, Jan. 31.-The
outlook for large acreage in Polk
county for the crop year of 1895 is not
very f1attering. In fact, the prospects
warrant the prediction that the acre
age the current year will not be to ex
coed so per cent Of that of 1895. The
reasons for this condition lie in the fact
of the immense crop raised last year.
The crop CT 1895 required as much
labor and time, in harvesting and
marketing, as did that Of any two pre-
ceding crops in the history Of this
county-Its magnitude and the extra ex-
pense and labor incurred thereby rem
dered 1t impossible to get at the fall
blowing until very late. Then, lust as
that work was fairly under way, the
cary freeze came and stopped the
work. The consequence was that
many farmers got very little blowing
done, and some none at all. A con-

Special to the Globe
KENNEDY, Mimi, Jan. 31-The out
look for an average crop Of wheat in
the southern portion Of Kittson coun-
ty is very poor On account of the de-
lays occasioned by the heavy crop of
'95 and the inability of the farmers to
get their threshing done and their
grain marketed the blowing was not
commenced until later than usual 1t
was only fairly begun when the ground
froZe up fully three weeks earlier than
usual, and the result is that only be-
tween 20 and 25 per cent of the land
under crop in '95 has been prepared for
seeding. Unless the spring is unusual
ly early this acreage will not be ma
terially increased and the general opin-
ion is that not over 40 per cent of the
crop Of '95 can be produced even under
the most favorable conditions of an
early spring and an abundance Of
moisture during the spring and early
summer.

THAT UNDERTAKING..
1t Caused Farmers to Lose Time in
Disposing of Their Wheat.

Special to the Globe.
STEPHEN, Mimi, Jan. 31-There
was very little blowing done in the
northern part of Marshall county last
fall. In the first place the crop of
'95 was the heaviest in the history of
the county, and it took nearly twice
the usual time to harvest and thresh
it. Then the markets were blocked,
and the farmers lost a great deal of
time hauling their wheat across the
Red river and to distant points where
the markets were open. Many of them
were compelled to dispose of their
grain as soon as 1t was threshed, and
they had to haul it twice or three
times as far, in many instances, as
usual. All of these causes helped to
delay blowing, and the early freeze up
cut it off at the other end AS it is
impossible to obtain the best results
from spring blowing, there cannot, I'M
der the most favorable circumstances,
be produced in this locality more than
one-third the number of bushels of
wheat that We're harvested last year.

or six sultans. That was a most Ill
judged and rash observation. II the
sultan would meet US on the open,
undoubtedly we could cope with five
or six sultans. But it Is not worth
arguing the possibility of England oc-
cupying these inaccessible provinces.
Il am not bound to answer the
question why Europe did not inter
fere. 1 say confidently that none of
the powers wished to interfere. and
believe their view is that, with pa
thence, the Sultan's prestige, which is
the only power left in the country,
will ultimately re-establish order and
allow industry and commerce to take
their usual secure course. That is
their view and it is our duty to give
the sultan time 1t is not for me to
pass Judgment on that view, but no
other remedy has been suggested. 1t
is some encouragement to find that al
ready some degree of order is being re-
stored.
If you do not act with the greatest
powers you must act against them, and
produce calanities far more awful and
terrible than the Armenian atrocities"

Some plowing will be done in the

Experience has demonstrated the fact
that land to be seeded to a successful
crop of wheat must be plowed in the
fall. Spring blowing will do well

not earlier than usual, but the double
crop made threshing longer, so that
blowing started later. There will be

The prospects for this years crop are

of the land cropped in '95 is now ready
for seeding. Some farms are all plowed.
while others have not an acre ploWed,
and the difficulty in disposing of the
crop of '95 was the primary cause of
the delay. Added to this was the ear
ly closing up, when the ground froze
several weeks before the usual time.
The farmers had been straining every
nerve to get their threshing finished
before the cold weather came on. and
before they were aware of it they were
unable to plow. This condition is gen
eral throughout the southern part of
