Early Ohio is the most popular early
potato in this country. We have
moro calls for it than any other early
variety. Every potato grower knows
what IL is, and knows just. about
what it will do in his locality. IL Is
the standard extra early the world
over, and other varieties are mea.
sured by 1t. We have an extra choice
strain of Early Ohio. Our Red River
Valley stock, grown in North Dako-

pure and full OF vigorous life. Price,

fy Prediction of 81
Wheat.
Wheat is Bringing Highest Price
Since the Great Letter
Corner.
Flax Does Not Seem to Rally and
is Bringing Low Price.


Net since the Letter deal has wheat
sold at such Il high price in Jamestown.
Today wheat is quoted at n cents per
bushel in the local market. A number
OF people believe that wheat will 90
still higher. The reports from the diff
ferent states are unfavorable and there
seems to be no reason why the long ex-
pected 81 per bushel for wheat should
not be secured this fall.
Flax seems to be on the down grade
and no one is able to tell just why this
should be the case. There is no GER
tainty that there will be a large crop
in the northwest. The North Dakota
crop report gave it out that the max
situation was unfavorable and the con.
dition of the crop situation in other
states Is discouraging. Flax is quoted
at 81 cents in the local market.
Flour has advanced to some extent
as result of the high price of wheat.
A surprisingly large amount of wheat
was held over from last fall by the
farmers and was marketed lately.
Nearly all the farmers have wheat or
some other grain to sell, evidencing
that they were not greatly in need Of
money last fall.-Alert.
