ABOUT WHEAT GRADES. THE CROP CONDITIONS.
THE WEEKLY SUMMARY OF
THE CROP CONDITIONS IS
SUED BY THE N. D. SECTION,
WEATHER AND CROP SER
VICE, WEEK ENDING AUG. q.

The weather conditions over the
greater portion Of the state during the
past week were favorable for harvest,
and.the few warm days caused consio-
cradle advancement of crops, which
have heretofore been backward, owing
to the previous cool, unreasonable
weather. Showers are reported from
portions of Grand Forks, Mclean and
Towner counties, which are beneticial
to corn and late flax.
While reports Of injury to wheat by
rust are still received, in a few sec
tions the injury is not proving as great
as was at first anticipated, although
the late soWn wheat has generally
been affected quite seriously. 1t is
badly shrunken and in some instances
the heads break from the stem and
there are a great many fields which
will not be cut. The extent Of the in
jury by rust to early sown wheat is
now more apparant as threshing is be-
coming general in the southern sec
tions and by the middle Of this week
will be we'll started in the central. In
other sections harvest is well advanced
except over the extreme northern por-
tion, where some early sown wheat is
not ripe and will not be for week or
ten days yet.
Oats, rye and barley harvest is near
ing the close and threshing is becom-
ing general with indications of good
yields.
Flax has made favorable progress
during the recent warm weather and
some Of the early Sown is ripening
with promise of a good yield. The late
flax is backward and needs consider
able warm weather to cause it to ma
ture.
Corn, while having been benefited by
the recent warm weather, is as rule
backward and while some reports in
dicate favorable prospects for fair
yield there is much Of it that will
hardly reach maturity in tins TO es.
cape frost.
A little hayng is still in progress in.
the northern part of the state, which
finishes the harvest of an excellent
crop generally and one Of the best in
this section in years.

NO CHANGES YET MADE PUB
Lie IN MINNESOTA GRADES.
ONE ELEVATOR COMPAMY'S
REGULATIONS -SOMEOF THE
FIRST YIELDS REPORTED.

Up to date the Minnesota Grain
Commission has not made public any
changes in the grades of wheat to suit
the special conditions of this CROP al.
though some changes may be expected.
The elevators OF this state are re-
ported to have been preparing to
change the grades and to have made
lists Of the various grades to suit the
different weights and quality of wheat
that is expected to be offered for sale
Whether all the elevators will adopt
the same rules in buying wheat or not,
is a matter Of doubt, and what the
shippers Of wheat Will realize from the
| Minnesota inspection is also a matter
OF doubt at present. The prices Of the
lowest grades are high compared with
other years, and shippers will wait
with interest the reports Of the sales
both at home and in Duluth and Min
neapOlis.
One elevator company in this state
according to the Fargo papers, has
issued amended Instructions to their
agents on wheat grades to conform
with the conditions this fall. 1t es-
tablshed ten new grades Of wheat,
not heretofore recognized, as follows:
The following applies to new wheat:
Wheat testing over 81 pounds and
not more than 50 pounds in the dirt,
if dry and Of bright amber color, may
be bought at No. 4 card price.
Wheat testing 40 pounds and not
more than 81 pounds in the dirt, if dry
and Of bright amber calor, must not
be bought at better than rejected card
price.
Wheat testing IS pounds in the dirt
is to be bought at Sc less than Rejected
card price.
Wheat testing IS pounds in the dirt
is to be bought at &c less than Rejected
card price.
Wheat testing Il pounds at l2c less
Wheat testing II pounds at 15c less.
Wheat testing 43 pounds at lSc less.
Wheat testing II pounds at PIC less
Wheat testing IL pounds at 24c less.
Wheat tossing 10 pounds at 27c less.
Wheat included in above classes
must be dry and Of good amber color.

SOME YIELDS.

Wheat being threshed on the Geo.
Orange farm at Spiritwood promises
to 60 from II TO Is bushels. The first
lot threshed weighed so pounds to the
bushel. 1t graded less than rejected,
but is reported to have brought SIC a
bushel.
Peter Gatfney threshed 2OO-acre
field near Pingree that averaged II
bushels and graded No. , northern.
Other reports from the vicinity Of
Buchanan say that wheat is running
from II to Is bushels and grading No.
2 northern, and at Ypsilanti it is 60
ing about the same in yield, and from
, to northern.
Sam Wilder Of the n. ?. headQuar.
ters had crop OF wheat on the river
south of town which threshed II bush
els to the acre.
Two loads of wheat from the O'Brien
farm, the old Farrell place, were sold
to the mill today, the grain weighing
40 pounds TO the bushel. Not all the
fields will run as light as that, how
ever, but the wheat will vary greatly
in size and weight in the same field.
1t is probable that wheat will be found
grading all the way from rejected to
No. from the same field.

TOWNS ON RESERVATION
TWO VILLAGES TO BE START
ED ON THE DEVILS LAKE
observation-disclosures ARE
WORTH TWENTY-FIVE DOL
LARS AN ACRE.

Within the next few months all the
claims on the Devils Lake reservation
will have been fled on and the land
opened up to settlement. Improve
ments of all kinds will begin and the
lands that have been idle for great
many years will become the homes of
Industrious farmers. The final fling
for claims will be on Sept. 10th un-
less there should be some claims not
filed on by the winners of the rights
to do so. In that case other names
will be drawn by the lana department
officials and the last Of the lands
opened up to settlement. The day is
over when the reservation will be Sc
cluded from use and held to.the al
legged services OF few Indians. The
Indians. wild fow! and all other evil
dences of aboriginal occupation will
soon follow the buffalo and disappear
from the south shore Of the big lake.
There are many valuable claims on
the reservation. Most of the land
which will be filed on is valuable
agricultural land and North as high
as twenty-five dollars an acre-some,
more. Some of the claims properly
belonging to the winners will not be
filed on by them and the reserves will
have an opportunity of getting some
good claims. The last person who
files on claim on the reservation
has as good a chance to get an excel
lent farm as the first, as many per-
sons will take poorer land in order
to be near one Of the townsites which
will be reserved for sale by the
government.
One townsjte will probably be To-
Gated near Fort Totten, at the boat
landing This will be an ideal place
for city. Devils lake has frontage
or shore Of three hundred miles and
yet no city has been built on the
very shore of the lake, and it is
hoped now that one will be built.
Another tonwsite viii probably be
located at Wood lake, a pretty spot
near the center Of the reservation.
Wood lake is not very large but it
contains clear, fresh water mot salt

CONCRETE BARNS.

II. c. Hanft, a farmer living near
Pingree, gives the following informa-
tion in his local paper about the man
ner Of constructing concrete barn.
There are numerous advantages
claimed for both concrete barns and
farm houses on the prairie. They are
wind proof, and warm in winter and
cool IN summer. Mr.. Hanft says:
"Two important things in the con-
struction are plenty Of stones and an
abundance of good course creek gravel;
if these two materials are close at
hand concrete buildings can be put up
cheaper than any other kind OF build
ing and they are tar more durable.
To construct: Set two rows of studs
2x6 where building is wanted Is inches
apart; use 2xl2 plank for boxes; till up
with stones of all sizes to top of box:
then pour in your mortar, quite thin;
thin enough to fill all spaces between
stones. Raise boxes every day and re-
fill not sooner; follow this up till wall
is complete.
1'The proportions are as follows: one
barrel Of lime, one barrel of Portland
cement and twelve barrels of creek
gravel; (by creek gravel mean coarse
sand washed free from all clay sub
stances, for your walls will crumble if
clay and cement come in contact; re-
member this). The material must be
mixed in mortar beds, the lime and
gravel must be thoroughly mixed be-
fore cement is added. When cement
is thoroughly mixed in put in wall at
once. TO get smooth wall have half
inch space between box and stones for
mortar to cover outside Of the stones.
There is no expense for painting the
structure. 1t is cool in summer, warm
in winter and becomes as hard as the
original rock itself.
"The cost, figuring labor at Sl.50 per
day, should not be over nine cents per
cubic foot, and fourteen inches is thick
enough for wall . feet high Stones
should be well packed, not thrown in
any way at all. Two men should, after
studs are placed, mix mortar and lay
stones at the rate of two cords a day,
100 cubic feet to the cord.
Sample can be seen one mile east
of town. gratis.

TEAMS FROM MINNESOTA.

The light harvest in southern Min
neSota has made scarcity of work for
men and teams usually engaged in
threshing in that state at this time of
the year. 1t is stated that great
many more men and teams have

from 100 to 80 outfits of teams. wag-
ons, many with racks, just from the
