WHEAT GROWERS HAPPY.
Great Rejoicing I'm North Dakota Over
the Rise in Prices.

.
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. ia Fargo IN.
d. special to the Pioneer Press says:
About the happiest people in the United
States are the wheat growers of North
Dakota over the unprecedented rise in
the price of their great cereal. The
steadily raising prices, with the pros
poets of bounteous yield, had spread a
well-defned streak of happiness over
the entire state, but the tremendous in
crease in price the last two days has
been the acme of delight. The farmers
have already begun to talk dollar wheat
by October i, and if the price reaches
that point a wheat farm in North Da-
kota with the yield of this year will
beat K]ondike mine. Harvest is on
in full blast, and as soon as possible
the wheat will be threshed and in many
instances rushed to market. The farm
ers of this state have lost so frequently
by holding their grain that there arc
few who will continue the experiment
this year.
{ Omaha, Neb., Aug. 13.-The impetus
given the price of wheat has produced
considerable animation throughout the
state. The general advance of wheat
means more to Nebraska farmers than
to those of any other state. They have
at least $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat in
sight. This has advanced nearly ten
cents since it was harvested. The good
times have spread to other things and
have helped business generally. The
farming community is profting largely
by the advancement and many farm i'm
proyements are the result Farmers
are investing more money than for ten
years and hundreds are rushing their
grain to the railroads to get 1t east.
