Tho very fact that not n single can

courage publicly to announce that he

people are always attendant upon man

uense what the law prohibits, ls also
true, and both these elements cannot

Crop Situation.

The outlook for the farmers Of the Red
river valley in the northern part Of this
state is not encouraging. Pembina
county reports say it has Jared the
worst OF the counties on the vest eide OF
the river. In the eastern part OF the
county there is almost no seeding done;
the country is one vast lake. The Penn
bina river is running wild even back into
the mountains. A dam at Wslhalla
broke and the country is being covered
for miles by the overflow.
The area seeded is an unknown guam
tity. A great deal Of the seeded ground
is under water, while another large area
Is unplowed, ana still another area 10

Best Wheat Land not Seeded.

Best Wheat Land not Seeded.
A Valley City correspondent says for
several years the best fields Of wheat
and large area OF the total have been

excessive rains this spring the fallowed
fields have been so muddy that they
have been left to the last 10 seeding.
Fall and spring plowed land could be
seeded in way, when neither teams
nor drills could work on summer fsllow.
Wheat on fsllowed land grows ranker

ripening than on other old land and
many are afraid at this late date to risk
wheat. Az result many we'll prepared
wheat fields of last summer will now be

risk Of fall frost and damaged wheat.
