FARMERS HAD
one DRY WEEK
SPLENDID PROGRESS MADE IN
GARNERING THE CROPS.
Not Drop Of Rain in the Red River
Valley for the seven-Day Period
Farmers Are So Anxious to Thresh
that the Work Is Carried On at
Mi r11t - - - ----

Night.
Special to The Journal
Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 1.-THE
past week was one of the best the farm
ers Of the northwest have had this
year. There was scarcely a drop Of
rain. Threshing went on apace, and
many thousand acres Of land were
cleared. The valley was specially for,
tunate, as it escaped rain entirely, and
there was no cessation Of work.
In many Of the wetter sections the
grain is not yet cut, and In some there
will be no cutting, except for the pur-
pose Of clearing the land, and possibly
saving some Of the crop for feed. In
the country a few miles this side OF
Fargo there are thousands Of acres
which will not be harvested, and this IS
true Of that section in Polk county,
Mimi, III which the famous Keystone
farm is situated. :,
Threshing machines are operating all
over the state, and so great is the de-
sire Of the farmers to rush the work
that some Of them are running with
double crews, and the work is carried
on most Of the night, lanterns being
used for Illuminating purposes. The
yields vary, as they do in any year, and
in the valley the reports indicate much
disappointment in both quantity, and
rust are regarded as responsible for the
shortage and poor quality.
Threshing is progressing at such a
rate that If it is not interrupted the
fields will be cleared at an unusually
early date, and the work Of fall pillow.
ing will be completed away ahead OF
