C. M. Cosgroye, Of Hurd, has
200 acres Of crops which give
promise to break a record this
year. Last year SO acres Of
wheat produced over 1900 bush
els. Land in his vicinity is worth

Phil Winter, Claude Randall,
Matt Hamilton and Geo. Stroup
prominent Glenburn farmers,
came to Minot Saturday to pur-
chase a threshing machine.
Those men have enough crop to
keep one machine busy a good
share of the threshing season,
alone.
G. P. Russell, the cattleman,
has 1000 acres fenced southwest
of Minot and is putting up hay
galore. Despite the fact that

ditions are all wrong he is get
ting plenty o. this worlds goods.
Any man can get along in North

ty hours a day as Mr.. Russell does.

VIM. Schneider, of Burlington,
came in on Monday and reported
! harvesting we'll under way up the
river. Bill says that while the
crops are very good in that Sec
ton that the wheat crop will not
go within six or eight bushels to
the acre this year as it did last,
but the yield will be quite heavy.
He says also that oats and flax
will run pretty heavy.
The ball game last Sunday be-
tween the Bowbells team and the
Tagus Giants resulted in a vic
tory for the latter. The Bowbells
boys seemed to have the Giants
! going backwards until the last
half Of the ninth innings, when
the Tagus team gave them a sur
prise by running in four straight
tallies, the score standing previ-
GUS to the last half of the ninth
3 to l in Bowbells' favor.
Chas. Seaton started cutting
oats Saturday and believes that
the field will average him sixty
bushels per acre, the same as it
did last year. The oats would do
even better than that, Mr.. Sea-
tor explained, but much of it is
on land that last grew flax. He
says that no crop does so we'll i'm
mediately following flax, and in
order to get the best returns the
ground should be plowed two
inches deeper the third year.

be John and the other is unques.

not to show his wife the card.

easterner who believes all the bad
things he has heard about North
Dakota and none of the good
things, we would certainly take
him to the Ole Own farm six
miles southwest from Minot,
where fifteen thousand trees
make the big farm look like a
park. Setting back from the road
quite distonce stands Mr.. Oen's
nicely painted farm buildings. A
long vista of trees makes a very
pretty driveway. A field of
bromus grass which has been cut
twice already this season will
soon be ready for the third cut
ting. Fat cattle and sleek horses
