Foley Bros. & Kelley:

everything as picking up rapidly. but

man. They want every one to think as
they would like to be- able to think THAT
every thing is looking the very best. Of
course, We have two Or three men who
are very conservative. and their. reports
are not quite so optimistic as the others
are. However, there is no doubt but that
things are picking up to a wonderful de-
gree, and it is doubtful if the aspect was
ever as bad at any time Sit was re,
ported to be. The rolling land is all
right now-it is the fiat and low sections
that are suffering, forsthe y could not
throw off the surplus rain Nothing was
helped by the rains like the corn; but it
is always the first to respond TO any re-
letter from Tower City. N. D., saying that
farmers in that locality do not expect

two weeks of dry WRather, which pre-
coded the heavy rains last week While
the showers were undoubtedly beneficial
in some localites, the rain came to late
to save the crop. While there will be no
bumper crop this year. the indica lions
