Ever since this country was settled
down TO the present generation it has
been the mother and the girls who
stayed at home and worked TO send
the boys to college Those devoted
women frequently earned money
through sewing, factory work and by
selling butter and eggs, and that mon
ey they layished on the boys. Now it
is the girls turn TO get college ed
ucation and the boys turn to go to
work. Will the boys be equally gen
erous and self sacrificing?

VALLEY WHEAT
REACHES MARKET
NO GRADE BETTER THAN NO. :
NORTHERN EXPECTED.
Grain Sold at Grand Forks Is shrunken
and Its Color Is Not the Best Some
Pessimistic Reports from Points on
the Minnesota Side.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 6.-The first
wheat marketed in Grand Forks was
sold to the Diamond Mill company yes
terday by John O'Leary, who owns a
farm on Minnesota point. The first load
was wet and was filled with wild oats
and other weeds. It weighed fifty five
pounds to the bushel and graded No. 2
northern. The succeeding loads from
the same farm graded No. l northern.
Mrs. H. Tharaldson, who also owns
a farm on Minnesota point, sold the
first of the threshing at the Diamond
mill. It graded No. northern.
Henry Hancock, who has farm at
Emerado, has finished threshing. His
wheat went ten bushels to the acre,
oats ffty-fve bushels and barley forty
bushels. The wheat graded No. / north
ern. On the O'Connor farm, near
Thompson, flax yielded eighteen bush.
els to the acre, and barley thirty-fve
bushels to the acre.
So far, the threshing machine re.
veals the fact that there is to be little
wheat in the valley that will grade
better than No. northern. The berry
is shrunken considerably, and the color
! is not the best. -

WATER IN THE FIELDS
Farmers in the Valley Feel Their Losses
Keenly.
Specials to The Journal.

Specials to The Journal. l.. s.... 49,. Ill : g.
Argyle, Mimi, Sept. 6.--Incessant
and heavy rains since July have prac-
tically ruined the wheat crop in this
section of the Red river valley. Heavy
rains have fallen since that date, and
while the stand of wheat is very good,
farmers cannot get binders into their
fields. In many parts of the valley
the water stands six to eight inches
deep, making it impossible to harvest
the grain. ..-..-. ,
On the highlands harvesting has been
finished and some, grain has been
threshed. The yield. while Of good
quality, is disappointing, only ten to
twelve bushels an acre.
Warren, Mimi, Sept. 6.--Eight to ten
inches of water covers the valley be-
tween here and the river, preventing
the harvesting Of wheat and other
cereals. Many wheat fields that prom
ised yield Of thirtyfve bushels an
acre have been abandoned because of
the heavy rains prevailing since July 1.
Where the water drained off it is SO
muddy that it mires the horses and
binder. The same condition Of affairs
exists all along the Minnesota side of
the Red river valley, and thousands of
acres Of wheat are affected.
