81. Paul, Aug. lS.-Despite the many
and varying estimates of this years
crop given by the experts, the con-
census seems to be that the wheat
crop will be an average one, and that
as FAR as the Western States are con
cerned other crops. with the exception
OF the corn crop, will come up to last
years mark.
Late in July II. V. Jones of Mime
apolls estimated the wheat r Of the
Northwestern states at TAI. 200
bushels. Since that estimate was an
nounced other experts have gone over
the country, and they figure that the
crop will be considerably in excess of
this. For instance, Col. G.. D. Rogers,
secretary Of the Minneapolis chamber
Of commerce, is quoted as stating that
the crop will
Reach 200, ooo, 600 Bushels.
The Duluth Commercial Record
figures that the crop will be in the
On top of these estimates comes the
report from the party of Twin City
men who are interested in the crop,
and who but recently returned from an
extensive trip OF inspection. They de-
clare that the wheat crop will be a
heavy one. One man stated that the
yield In some parts Of North Dakota
will be as heavy this year as it was in
1895. which was a banner year.
While many Of the fields were eX-
tremely backward during the last two
weeks in July, when Mr.. Jones made
his trip, the conditions have been eX-
tremely favorable since then. and
rapid strides are reported from many
sections. Few Of the party who re-
turned Saturday cared to. place Any

Reports for the past week have
been decidedly favorable. Grain and
elevator men at points in the three
states all report the climate conditions
as good and state there is no reason
to expect a short crop.
There is, however, a slight shrink
age in the corn crop. Throughout the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys the
crops are

but the conditions are reported good
and average crops are expected.
The oats crop will probably be be-
tween 5 and 10 per cent shorter thar

described as having no visible means Of
support. &
He came voluntarily and unsolicited to
Yrs. Nelson's lawyers at the consulate,

aad witnessed the accident, that he was
present at the scene OF a bicycle and

;ian nor the chauffeur have any recol-
ection of seeing a bicyclist on the scene.
Mas owns no wheel and his neighbors

day to Effect Combination.

q IT. ~
Sioux Falls, S. D., March 17.-TEe
calling Of a meeting, to be held at Elk
ton next Thursday, indicates that stre1i-
uous efforts will be made to organize
the, farmers Of South Dakota for the
purpose of controlling the prices Of
farm products, and especially the sur
plus. Those behind the movement call
attention to the recent Incorporation
under the laws on Indiana of a society
for farmers and others for the purpose
of forming a huge combine of the ag-
ricultural classes.
The call for the meeting at Elkton
is signed by l. A. Grinde, who states
that hi is the organizer for Brookings,
Moody and Deuel. counties. It is prob
able that organizers have been assign
ed to other territory in the stat, n
that q determined effort will be made
to form the farmers of Soulful Dakota IN
a powerful combine.
How well these efforts will succeed
cannot be predicted at this time. The
result of the Elkton meeting Will give
an inkling of how the farmers OF the
state look upon the plan to organize
them into what would be a traust on d
more gigantic scale than any now IN
existence, as the intention appears TO
be to organize the farmers Of the var
ious states and then merge them into
one powerful organization. Inc organ
izer announces that it is his purpose
to form at the Elkton meeting a local
