The most rapid growth of'grain that
has been brought to the notice OF the
DEMOCRAT this year is related by one OF
the new settlers who located on the
extreme county line, joining Cavalier and
Towner counties. Our friend, David
Ross, tells us that during the dry weather
in June he sowed some oats. which,
owing to the drouth, did not begin to
sprout until the rain on the 9Th OF July
On the 18th of August just 36days later
they were from * to 8 feet high and
headed out with kernels fully formed ia
the heads and now they are ready te
cut. Ross figures that they will yield
from 80 to 60 bushels to the acre.
