CROPS LOOKING FINE
President Washburn, Chamber of
Commerce, Back From N. ID.


President John Washburn of the Cham
ber of Commerce, who has just returned
from an extensive trip through western
and northern North Dakota, says that the
crop prospect in that state Is the best
since 1895. Mr.. Washburn's trip took him
over the entire main line of the 500 in
that state and over the main line Of the
Great Northern. He says: ,sss.
From the elevator men with whom I talked
including many local agents. learned that
the increase In fax acreage in the western
part of the state would be nearly double that
OF last year. The prevailing opinion up
there is that the decrease in North Dakota
wheat acreage will be about 20 per cent.
Crops are growing evenly and the general
prospect could hardly be better The eleva-
tor agents say that the state has the best
crop prospect since 1895.
