general farming. Its richness is shown
in the quality of it's grasses and grain.
Crops
Wheat, flax, oats, barley, corn, mil
let, speltz and all kinds of vegetables
yield fruitfully, and not only is the
crop of large proportions, but no bet
ter quality is to be found in the North
west. Flax has always been found
good thing for new Corners. There are
hundreds and hundreds of instances
where homeSeekers have arrived in the
territory too late to clear the soil and
put in a crop with any good prospects
of securing a crop that season from
any of the smaller grain. However, it
has been possible for him to turn in the
prairie sod, put in fax, and in about
four months clear up from SIS to $50
per acre. North Dakota raises more
than one-third of the flax in the United
States, and Bottineau county sizes up
fairly We'll with the older and more
cultivated counties, both as to the
amount of its acreage and the quality
produced The yield of wheat ranges
from II to SO and even 40 bushels.
However, the average yield and one
generally regarded as satisfactory, is
from IA to 20 and % bushels per acre.
Oats are very satisfactory crop with
a wide range of yield, figures being
from 40 to 100 bushels per acre. The
average rainfall for the county, distrib-
uted largely through the growing sea-
son and principally in May, June and
the early part of July, amounts to about
20 inches. From November until April
there is seldom or never any rain, and
generally but a light fall of snow in
the winter. Nevertheless when the
SHOWS melt in the western mountains
and the Missouri floods come down in
June, bringing with them an atmos-
phere laden with moisture, then there
is the largest precipitation, and then
with the crops in the ground and grow
ing is when the rain is most needed.
These winds prevail during June and
the early part of July, and are the
source of considerable deposit of mois-
ture in this region, source that never
fails.
Now that the country has become
very largely broken up, each cultivated
field has become a depository for water,
which before the surface was broken
up, largely passed off and was carried
off to the sea by river drainage. This
cause now produces local showers, and
will soon do away with the idea that
this country is an especially, dry one.
diversity of crop has been found
advisable in this territory, and the
best results have been obtained where
alienation was resorted to. Then, too,
many of the Older farmers have found

Wheat harvesting in Kansas and Mis-

this work has proceeded without inter

at present busy completing the final
arrangements for the interscholastic
track meet which will take place on
the Whittier Athletic field, Saturday
afternoon. The meet bids fair to be
one of the best ever held under the
auspices of the Athletic Association.
Not only as there n large number
of schools to be represented, but sew
eral of them will send teams of more
than ordinary strength, which of course
means an interesting contest. Among
the strong teams that will send men
are KentS Hill. Westbrook Seminary.
Hebron Academy, Bangor, Brewer. Ed
ward Little High School, Lewiston
High, Portland, Brunswick and Bath
High, as we'll az a number of others.
The trials for the different events will
take place at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. and the finals will begin at = IN
the afternoon. The band will furnish
music in the afternoon, and If the
weather Is pleasant there will doubtless
be a big crowd on hand from the diff
ferent preparatory schools of the State.
The Varsity will play the Massachu-
sets State College team on the Whit
tier field. tomorrow afternoon. and an
interesting contest is looked for. The
visitors are said to have the best team
in years and will doubtless put up
strong game. Cakes VIII probably
pitch for Bowdoin. The Bowdoin team
will play its last game in the Maine
College series, Saturday. with Colby
at Watervillc, and much interest is
felt here as to the outcome. The stand
ing of the Maine colleges is now rather
interesting. At present it is possible

| is also possible for either BowdOin,
