a new crop introduced in the Arkansas
valley four years ago by Mr.. Cover. and
it has proved to be a most valuable grain
to raise in semi-arid country. With but
little water it has produced 100 bushels

DAKOTA WHEAT KING.
y. G. LarimOre Raises 100000 Bush
els Per Year.


Title of wheat King of the United
States" is aptly applied to N. G. Lar
more Of North Dakota, who is at
tending the ans-Mississippi Com
mercial Congress, for on his farms
800, 900 bushels of wheat is produc-
ed annually, more wheat than is rails
ed on any other one farm in the world,
says the Portland Telegram. Though
he doesn't claim the title given him.
Mr.. Larimore says he has 5000
acres of land in cultivation and the
annual average yield is from Is to
20 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Larimore went into the wheat
growing business in 1882. Prior to
that time he had been a business man
in st. Louis for 80 years and inciden-
tally he knew David R. Francis, pres
ident of the St Louis exposition,
when the latter was a boy Realizing
the possibilities of the wheat-growing
industry in Dakota, he went into the
business on a large scale, breaking up
new prairie land and increasing the
size of his farm as rapidly as possible
until he now has 5000 acres. AS
base OF supply for this large farm the
village and postoffice of Larimore
was established. The nearest town
Of any size to the ranch is Great
Forks.
Between $50 and 175 men are en-
ployed on this great farm the year
round. To work the place Mr.. Lari-
more uses a vast quantity of farming
machinery. He has 30 binders and
six threshers and proportionate
number of plows and other farm
equipments. He uses $50 mules all
the time. In plowing. his men start
in on "A plat six miles square and
make one round before lunch and an
other afterward. In harvesting he
has machinery enough to cut 1000
acres day if necessity requires it,
All the grain Mr.. Larimore raises
is spring wheat. 1t is necessary to
cut it a little green, then shock it to
let it dry and thresh it later.
During the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago in 1898" said Mr.. Larimore to-
day, "all of the foreign commission
ers at the exposition came up to my
place to see the farming operations.
They had never seen farming on
large scale and were amazed at
everything"

COST is REDUCED.
Insane Patients Now Taken to Asy-
lum With Little Expense.

At the last session of the legisla-
ture it will be remembered, the law
was finally passed authorizing the
asylum authorities to convey insane
patients to the institution from the
places of their commitment, instead
of having the sheriffs deliver the
unfortunates to the institution
An effort has been made at each
succeeding session for the past de-
cade, but without success, until this
time, and many will no doubt be in
terested in knowing the workings of
it.
The law went into effect in May,
and has worked we'll SO far not only
in the matter of humane treatment,
but also in the matter of expense. As
now managed, the attendants at the
institutions are sent after patients,
and it is shown that the cost is
only about one-half what it was un-
der the old system, says a Salem pa
per,
For the purpose of comparison fig
ures are given below showing in the
first column the cost under the old
system, and in the second the cost
under the new law. Comparisons of
all counties cannot be given as all
have not had commitments since the

OLD OREGON RELICS
EZRA MEEKER SHOWS
PIONEER COLLECTION
Unique Assortment OF Oregon Relics
Collected and Exhibited at the
Lewis and Clark Fair-History of
Oregon Territory Clusters About
Many Articles in the Collection.

A small but very unique and inter-
esting part of the Lewis and Clark
fair is the pioneer exhibit of Ezra
Meeker of Puyallup, the author of
Pioneer "reminiscences of Puget
Sound; the Tragedy of Leschi."
Mr.. Meeker occupies place at the
left of the east entrance of the WASH
ington building. He has an entire
building to himself. It is about 12
feet in diameter, made of the bark
from a section of a large tree. and
is a very pretty and unique structure.
\ hole six feet high is cut in one side
for door
Near the door is an old splint broom
made by S. A. Holcomb prior to 1S47,
also an OK yoke that came across the
plains in 1874, a lantern of 1S49, and
crosscut saw used by F. Y. Matthieu
in Oregon in 1912. The walls of the
llltllOI dIt NONtltu dlSO Will plO-
neer relics some of them owned by
Mr.. Meeker and some the property OF
other pioneers or their descendants.
There is a rifle brought across the
plains by Mr.. Meeker himself. There
is a grain sickle made in 1915 and
used in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Or
egon. Also an old-fashioned thresh-
ing fail, which as the description
says, caused the young men of so or
60 years ago great discomfort.
There are also many other articles,
including saw, AK, lantern, weapons
and instruments and implements of
various kinds all of which were
brought to oregon or made there in
early times. The exhibit is altogeth-
er one of unusual interest. 1t is also
interesting to know that Mr.. Meeker
intends to make the trip east next
year by OK team, the same manner
in which he crossed the plains over
half a century ago.

WATER TROUBLES RENEWED.
Affair is In the Courts at BlaclIfoot,
and Crops Are Dying.

a Backfoot special to the salt
Lake Tribune says:
The water troubles in this vicinity
have broken out afresh. A few days
since the crops near Blackfoot were
perishng for the want of water. Judge
Budge. upon a showing made to him
to the effect that the ranchers about
Idaho Falls were not only taking
their full quota, but actually letting
large quantities go to waste, ordered
the headgates of the big bitches closed
for time to enable the bitches in
this locality to fill up for a few days
Everything looked rosy, but suddenly
there was very great falling off in
the volume reaching this far down,
and the crops were again in jeopardy.
Today Judge stevens cited a num-
her of prominent residents in the up
per part of the county to appear on
Thursday and show why they should
not be punished Tor contempt, the wa
ter commissioners having discovered
a number of headgates opened up,
contrary to the order of the court a
week ago. From the temper of the
community and the critical condition
of a number of farmers who are prac-
tically ruined by this last action, it
would not be surprising If the court
should be extremely severe with the
offenders.
