Renwald on the Crop Prospects.

Il have in more than 1900 acres Of crop, T.
F. Renwald, one Of Minot's most prominent real
estate dealers stated to an Independent repre-
sentative, and I'm mighty well pleased th the
prospects. Of courses don't want you to get
the impression that think we are going to have
bumper crop, for we're not. But with the
high prices that we're bound to get, [ actually
believe that the North Dakota farmers are going
to have as much money this year as they did
last fall. My reasons for saying this are simply
these:
The farmers, owing to the late spring. did
not put in nearly as many acres of wheat as
they intended to, and sowed more fax. Where
they grew 100 acres Of wheat last year to go
acres of flax, they have reversed the order this
eason and it's good thing. The flax crop pro-
misses big things, while the wheat will probably
not go more than forty per cent.
But while the farmers will get only about for
ty per cent of the wheat they did last year
think Of the big price they are going to get for
that product. Last year they were compelled to
sell their wheat for sixty cents bushel. This
year you will see them getting dollar and ten
cents bushel, believe, and maybe more
This will about make up the difference in the
crop Then there's the big price they will get
for the flax. l tell you, it doesn't look bad at
ALL
Why, do you remember year ago now, when
we were planning on bumper crop. Jones the
crop expert said we would get 100, 600, 900 bush
els Of wheat when in reality I'VE got only IT,
600 900 bushels. At that there was only one
state that beat us and that was Kansas with 81, :
OO0 600 bushels.

Need a Stock Buyer Here.

A farmer informed the Independent that he
recently brot load Of fat hogs to this city and
was unable to sell them to the local butchers
They had bought heavily and were unable to
handle the porkers at that particular time. The
farmer needed the money, so took the load back
home end the next day drove to Douglas only to
find that the butcher had six hogs in the lot and
he could not see his way clear to purchase the
load. The farmer sent the load to Ryder where
finally they were Sold The last trip required
two days. Here was case where it took four
days driving to sell one load of hogs.
It seems strange that someone does not make
practice of buying hogs and cattle in this city,
to ship east. The country is producing more
dication, but the farmer should be assured a
ready market.
LATER Since writing the above we learn that
Gilroy & Hetherton have started a wholesale
butcher business, and will be able to handle the
stock nicely.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Teddy Takes a Hand.

The Emperor Of China takes day off each
year and holds the pillow handle, to show his sub
jects thot he is interested in that line of work.
President Roosevelt took an afternoon off re.
Gently and helped his hired men put up hay al
his farm at Sangamore Hill, N. Y. The follow
ing story will be read with great deal of inter
est by the independents many farmer readers,
and it's true one at that:
New York, July lift Teddy Roosevelt
was not president he could make his living
pitching hay" said Ned Maloney, admlr1n !ely
All the loungers in the store sat up and took
eager notice. :, 80,
asked old 81 Hawkins, who was sitting on CT
der key and slyi2g hflp|ng himself n;a out Of
". Il lust guess was. President Roosevelt
put his hay crop in the barn on his Sycamore
hill farm today and helped him."
"Dew tell, - chorused the loungers.
''The president came over to the field about
two hours after noontme;" began Maloney
He had on white negligee shirt and white
them broncho- buster hats. He had hayfork
over his shoulder, and wished all the populists
from here to California could have seen him.
There wouldn't be any more populist tickets for
president. They'd vote for Teddy for a life term.
continued Maloney to his rapt auditors. .'Well,
when the president of the United States showed
up we was all as bashful as a girl the first time
her Teller asks her to walk home from church
with her;

Forget Pm the president, boys, said
Teddy:

rs he?" interrupted 81 Hawkins. Il never
heard of it before"
.'Well, he was today said Maloney. "But
afore he started in he shook hands with the
three fellers They were sort o sweaty and they
started to rub their hands on their pants But
Teddy said o, that's all right; I'm always glad
to shake the hand of the honest toileT, even If it
is warm, or something like that couldn't hear

well, he started IN and-talk about pitchers
Teddy's, TeddP's wonder, by jinnainy crick-
cts exclaimed Maloney.
Before the load was done you wouldn't have
given one Of Bills penny cigars here for this
white shirt. And talk about sweat, Why the
sweat was rolling off his forehead and dropping
off his chin as big as black walnuts He didn't
stop to wipe off the sweat, either, but kept right
on pitching up big forkfuls swan, I believe
he could have tossed up Bill Taft if he got him
on his fork.
After we got two wagons loaded, | drove
over to the new barn. Teddy walked ahead of
me with his fork over his shoulder. When we
got to the barn he climbed up on my load andup
to the NOW Gosh all hemlock, but he was
sweating But he took all the hay from my fork
and moved it away Then he says, Good by,
my boy. think this will do me good. =

Wild Mustard to Go.

Rapidly drawing their weed killing campaign
to close Professors Bolley and Pritchard Of
the have Just completed a series Of expert
ments conducted on farms in the vicinity OF St.
Thomas and Bathgate. At St. Thomas the ex-
perimenters were assisted by the OConner
Bros. but the work was done on the Buchanan
farm.
AS result OF the experiments the professors
have found cure for the mustard and king
head evil, and Professor Bolley states that with
the cooperation OF the farmers OF the state
these pestiferous weeds can be easily and surely
exterminated. Experiments with the root stalk
Weeds such as Canada and SOW thistles have
not brought such certain results, but the invest.
igators assert that they can blight blossoms
and buds OF these plants SO that they will not
produce seed until after the grain crop is har-
vested Then it only remains for the farmers
to pull up the roots in order to destroy the
plants.
