RANCH AND FARM.

c. P. Allison came In from Wibaux on
Thursday. His sheep are sheared and
his teams are onSthe way to the Dick
inson market with a probable $4,000
pound wool clip. Last year Mr.. Allison
marketed in Wibaux but he thinks the
Dickinson market the best.
VIM. Armstrong, from near the South
Dakota line in Bowman county was in
Tuesday with three loads Of wool,
the first to arrive this season. Mr..
Armstrong has a large clip again this
year, 10000 to 10000 pounds. He re-
ceived 25c. in the Dickinson market last
year.
Joseph A. Tupa Of Horswill was in
the city this week. Mr.. Tupa moved
from Grafton to Horswill in the fall of
1905 and has ~ sections of land al
Horswill. He is just now marketing, at
the advanced prices, 1900 bushels Of
wheat and 800 bushels OF fax, his last
years crop. This spring Mr.. Tupa put
in $50 acres of wheat, IS acres of flax
and 50 acres of oats, besides breaking
400 acres for his neighbors and setting
out a grove OF 1900 trees.
Bowman County News: This paper
predicts that more fax will be sown this
year in this county than in any Other
county in the state. So far, it has
seemed almost impossible to supply the
demand for seed fax. The coming yeal
opens with flattering prospects indeed
and soon as grain is harvested, steam
threshers are in readiness to prepare il
for transportation over our new railway
to the markets. So farmers be ready
with your grain and live stock and help
each and everyone of you, to share the
proceeds of this wealthy county.
Wool buyers are not making any Of
fers as yet and they are talking just as
they did a year ago. namely, that prices
paid in 1906 were a little too high and
tina. there is nothing this year to warrant
wool at p and 23c. per pound. So far
as the PRESS can learn there is nothing
to make wool growers think that they
should receive a less price than they
did last year. The wool is good and not
very heavy; the times are good and all
commodities are selling at stiff prices.
Why should not wool? A grower OF
10000 pounds Of wool was offered 23c. at
Wibaux this week. He received that
figure last year and expects to get a
little more this year. 1t has been so
rainy that the growers could not do
much shearing up to the present time
and it is not expected that much wool
will be hauled for a week yet, and by
that time the buyers will have gotten
down to business. They have come tc
Dickinson, the same as during the past
few years, to buy, and they realize that
good prices must prevail. "
