RUSHING IN THEIR WHEAT
Less Than Thirty.Hve Per Gent Of the
Crop in the Farmers' Hands.

Less Than T%hirty-f7ve Per Cent Of the
Crop In the Farmers' Hands.
Less than IS per cent of the wheat
raised in North Dakota this year re-
mains in the, farmers hands.
This estimate is made by a we'll in
formed grain man who has been on
an investigating trip over the state
and has correspondents at various
points. His figures are regarded as
conservative. They refer to the
amount Of grain raised for sale. *
elusive Of the seed wheat supply for
next spring.
The estimates vary greatly Some
Of the most optimistic insist there is
fully SO per cent Of the wheat remain
ing in the state. Then there is the
other extreme, which places the
amount remaining in the hands Of the
farmers at only about 25' per cent.
This is regarded as TOO small.
The worst feature, in a commercial
and financial way, is the fact that
loans have been made against at least
20 per cent of the wheat now remain
ing in the state by farmers in order
to hold it. This does not NEAR that
one man out of every five has bor-
rowed money on his wheat. but that
the men who have borrowed are hold
ing the bulk of their crop, and it runs
up the total on which loans have been
secured. ,
The high prices and the favorable
weather caused the movement of an
Immense amount of grain to market
all over North Dakota last week. The
farmers who had been holding their
wheat are getting the grain to the
market as fast as possible and this
week promises to 9 most of the
country supplies in the elevators.

SPOILERS, REWARD LAW voiD

Supreme Court Holds Unlimited Ap.
preparations Unconstitutional.
The well known spoilers reward
law has finally been knocked out by
the state supreme court. The law
called for the payment of rewards for
the arrest and conviction Of parties
violating the prohibition law. The
court holds that unlimited %appropria.
stions are unconstitutional and that all
bills must be specific in the amount Of
the appropriations and the purpose fol
which the money shall be spent.
4 The case was started by former At
5torney General McCue and was an ap.
peal from Grand Forks county.
The decision will be farreaching in
Its effects, as there are numerous laws
OF the same kind and drawn in the
same manner on the statutes Of the
state at present.
