oakes, N. D., Aug. 2e.-During
the past week the writer has
been driving thru the country sur
rounding Cakes, Dickey county, n. D.,
and the array of grain in the shock
causes a person to think .'What will
they ever do with all this grain?" We
passed fields of $40 acres of wheat in
a body, and driving out to the machine
where they were threshing, asked the
thresher what the wheat was making
three bushels; Mike Lehrer, a big
doing as well as I thought it would,
but it is making about twenty-seven
bushels to the acre. but. the oats made
sixty-fve bushels, and the barley fifty
three, so that, take it all in all, this is
a. good CROP l found several fields
of very good corn that was already
dented and getting hard, and I was
surprised to see the large acreage Of
corn planted in this country.
I wish that some of the farmers who
are renting farms in the east and pay
ing nearly half of what they raise each
year to the landlord, could take a drive
over this country and see what they
could raise here on land that they could
buy for the price of one crop raised on
the land. I am sure that this beautiful
country would be thickly settled with
good class Of farmers. I saw a good
many hundred rural mail boxes in the
last week in this county, for Diekey
county has rural free delivery, and sew
eral townships have rural telephone
lines owned and operated by the farm
ers. R. A. Middaugh.

Bismark, N. D., Aug. 29.-The advan-
tages Of the Missouri slope country in
an agricultural way, over the other por-
tions of North Dakota, appeal to one
who visits Bismarck, the state capital
and metropolis Of the western, part of
the state, at this time. Harvesting is
now in full blast, which emphasizes the
fact that the seasons are earlier in this
regian than in the Red River valley
country, from one to two weeks in the
spring. and correspondingly early in the
harvest season. And such crops as are
can be bought even now for what a
lease hold would cost in Iowa for one,
two and three years. Wheat that will
thresh out over thirty bushels an acre
is not uncommon, and all grain well
put in will yield from fifteen bushels
up Oats and barley and all vegetable
crops are good, and another great ad-
vantage of the slope region is the in
creasing corn yield, and the fatteniing
two profits instead Of one. With a
soil rich and inexhaustible and clim-
ate healthful and invigorating, the Bur
leigh county farmer enjoys blessings far
