The Crops.

Here's a straight tip: The
wheat crop looks splendid and
the early wheat is turning. Some
will be cut this week, tho the
wheat harvest will not be gen.
eral until another week. The
prospects are that it will go from
twenty to thirty bushels. Of
course some Of the wheat put in
poorly will make less. There was
never a year when poor farming
as this year, and where good
farming brot forth such good re-
suits. Oats are the best ever.
Hardly a field will go less than
fifty bushels and some will go a
hundred. Flax is good. Some
of the late flax needs good
weather for it to mature prop
erly. Some farmers sowed after
July 4 an can not expect much.
Flax is good for an average of
fifteen bushels, with some doing
much better. Speltz, barley and
rye are a very good crop. The
macaroni wheat looks well, but
the blur stem seems to have il
on the run this year. Gardens
look little backward. With a
third more acreage this year all
the farmer wants is a good fair
price. Will he get it?

Farm Help.

Farm laborers will be scarce.
Help will likely bring a fancy
price this year. Farmers already
are talking three dollars day,
tho the wage scale will likely be
around two and a half. 1t de-
ponds largely on the weather
and the number of laborers. Al
ready laborers are arriving in
box cars. This is not the desir-
able class. The farmer who al
ways plays safe will stack as
his crops are cut. Its a mighty
good way to do where it is
possible.
