are described as being seven-eighths
white, but not sufficiently sound and
clean for No. 2. The new grade No. 4
white will contain more stained and
dirty oats. still merehantable, formerly
graded as No. 3.
The rejected faxsesd" grade was
slightly amended. The grade being now
designated as "daxseed that has been
burnt, immature, field damaged or musty
and yet not to degree to be unfit for
storage and having a test weight of not
less than AZ pounds to the measured
busheI of commercially pure seed.''
In the "no grade faxseed" the word
"damp" was inserted in addition to the
words "warm, mouldy, very musty or
otherwise unfit for storage"
Previous to the meeting therehad been
some talk OF lowering the grade of wheat
from Sc to IS pounds, but this proposed
change did not come up during the ses
sion.

APPEAL TAKEN
Steps of the Fight for a New Trial
Taken by Barry's Attorney
Yesterday Afternoon.
ASKS FOR NEW TRIAL.

Defense Files Bill of Exception to Judge
Kneeshaw's Charge in the Clerk of
Courts ,Ohice.-Barry Has Retained At
torney Tracy R. Bangs-Judge Temple
ton and Attorney Bill Erwin No Longer
Interested in the Case. Motion for Ap-
peal Not Likely to be Heard Until
the Spring Term Next March.
Interest in the famous Barry case is
revived with the announcement that a
bill Of exceptions to the charge delivered
TO the jury BY Judge Kneeshaw was filed
in the office of Clerk Of Court Truax
yesterday by Attorney Tracy R. Bangs.
This is the beginning of the fight for a
new trial, and will be watched with as
absorbing interest as was the original
trial. It is understood that Mr.. Bangs
will have sole charge of the case from
this time forward, and that Judge
Templeton and Attorney Bill Erwin,
connected with the first trial, will not be
retained by Barry. The appeal will
involve an immense amount Of work, as
will be realized when it is remem bered
that the testimony in the first trial covers
1900 pages of close typewriting.
Less than one weeks confinement in
the state prison has evidently changed
Barry's mind about not making an
appeal and the proceedings begun by
Attorney Bangs yesterday are the result
of letter received by the attorney last
Friday ordering him to at once prepare
the necessary exceptions to the charge OF
the court. Although the instructions &c
no further than that, Mr.. Bangs is mott
fed that other instructions will follow

that his money will be of no use to hin

trial court is reversed, the case will b'
tried next time in some other county
probably at Grand Forks.

REVISION OF GRADES.


Considerable Interest to Farmers in the
Grades of Flax and Oats. No Change in
Wheat Grades Have Been Made.
The board of grain appeals held its an
nual meeting in Minneapolis Saturday.
Contrary to expectations there were 10
important changes in the wheat grades.
In the general rules the word "new," as
applied to a newly harvested crop was
ordered stricken out. The strongest
argument against the use of the word
was tnat it virtually fixed the value Of
wheat. As old wheat always commands
a higher value than new wheat, the
future elimination of the objectional
word from the rules will be of direct
benefit to the producer.
The board also created one more grade
of oats, an intermediate grade between
'three white and No. oats, to be
known as "four white" Heretofore all
oats slightly stained and dirty have been
put into the No. grade which is de:
signated as containing all oats that are
merchantable and arehouseable, not

sizes up the wheat crop within market
ing radius OF Osnabrock as averaging 10
to 90 bushels per acre. Oats he says
will yield very heavy and also fax.
Last year 100000 bushels OF wheat we're
marketed at Osnabrock and they place
the amounted hauled in there this fall at
the half million bushel mark.
| Threshing began yesterday on E
Fishers farm two miles east OF town.
The machine shows yield that runs
easily 25 bushels to the acre. The sample
is graded by local buyers at No. l
Northern Mr.. Fisher makes the first
shipment of new wheat from Langdon
this fall.
The threshing machine Of Fred Phil
ippi made Its first run of the eeaeon on
the Oath ult on the farm OF John Struth-
ers in Olga township. Oats yielded 63
bushels per acre, barley 40 bushels. Mr..
Philippl has two threshing outfits operat.

Wilbur L. Drury threshed out few
loads OF barley for himself last Saturday
that yielded over As bushels to the acre.
This week his machine has started in on

Concerning the crop results of western
Cavalier county, from Hannah comes the
report of two acres Of oats yielding 226
bushels, which so far as can be ascer-
tanned is record in this county.
Jas Lindsay started threshing barly
Monday north of town. The yield varied
from IS to 40 bushels per acre with q
sample that brought the top notch price

THRESHERS TALK NOW.

Results of the Harvest Have Been Received
From Different Cavalier County Points
and Show Big Yields and Good Grades
in Our Diversified Crop of 1907.
Now the thresher is beginning to tell
the tale Of the harvest and the yields of
wheat, fax, barley and oats are all big
enough to make the farmer smile.
The amount of threshing done in the
county is not large but sufficient to in
dicate that those who were predicting
Indifferent yields are going to be badly
disappointed. The wheat is running all
the way from 1e to 27 bushels per acre,
with probable average of 19 bushels.
The grade will not run higher than
Northern on account OF there being in
many cases small kernels OF light weight
near the head OF the stalk. With dry
weather there will be big percentage
OF northern wheat in. this vicinity and
quite little hard. The man who gets
No.2 will have reason for complaint. Bar
leyindscates yield and sample fully as
good as wheat. Some fields OF barley
near town have yielded as high as As
bushels to the acre.
@, E. Mahon in speaking of crop esti-
mates while in town from Easily between
trains Monday said: "Only a few pieces
remain to be cut, two days more of fine
weather and nothing will remain stand
ing except some late oats and the flax
The crop Of straw is possibly the heaviest
ever reaped there. but is not filed accord
ingly, although we will still have good
yield. One piece has been threshed that
yielded 33 bushels per acre. It. is
thought that some will not go over 16
but an average of from % to Is is the
general estimate. There have been few
pieces of barley threshed that ran from
As to 60. The fax and oats are as good
as they could be, although few pieces
Of flax missed where it was sown on old
loose land"
l Last year there was little more thar
100000 bushels Of wheat shipped from
Langdon. There is but a slight in
crease in the acreage this season, but the
yield will be enough larger to carry the
total up to nearly double while the tla1
acreage is 44,2S2 against 10 602 6f las
season. OF this it will be we'll to re
member that not less than 10000 acrel
of the fax crop of Cavalier is being
grown this year on lands chat are
tributary to Langdon. 1t IS safe esti
t mate that the shipments of wheat, fla,
and barley from Langdon this season
I will not fall far short of reaching 1,750,

given a chance to assert itself, and
