On the morning of Oct. Is l ex-
pressed a desire to visit the common
school in District IL, and before
realized it P. P. Lien had his team
in readiness to take me over. and
how surprised l was to find my
friend. Joseph Magnusson of PEN
mock, as teacher. l interrupted
him with friendly chat, after
which left for John Quam's home
near Rhame, visiting with the fol-
lowing on the way: Miss Aldena
Edberg. Oscar Edberg, c. F.. Berg
quist, and family. Peder Lien. Cluf

Lake. This shows that Kandiyohi
County is we'll represented in Bow
man.
We found new church being
erected by Halge's Synod. Lum.
herman Jordet of Rhame, formerly
of Sacred Heart. was one of the
leading members. Their intended
minister is one of the Rasmussons
from the renowned Viking boat,
which, ventured across the ocean
from Norway to the Worlds Fair
at Chicago Two other factions are
in charge of two ministers of the
United Church, Revs. Holseth and
Eidesvik, and both of these talked
about building churches in the
near future. Much grain was not
threshed, but what wheat, oats,
barley, spelts and flax came to my
observation was fine, both in quanti-
ty and quality. As to the yield II
was as follows: Wheat, Claud
Brooks, q bushels to the acre,
McGreery farm, 81 bushels to the
acre; oats, on McCan farm, 66 bush
els to the acre; o. Caron threshed
out IS bushels Of oats out of load
of bundles, VIM. Glennie, south OF
Bowman, threshed wheat from q
acres yielding 32 bushels per acre;
Oscar Hedman threshed out a ,48(
bushel of oats, wheat and flax from
100 acres. Out Of one piece of oats
containing 26 acres, Mr.. Mindrum
threshed 100 bushels making 65A
buhels to the acre. J. B. Carter 5
blue stem wheat went 80 bushels
and macaroni SO bushels per acre.
Maurice Nelson, on Thorne John.
sons farm, near Rhame, threshed
one field of velvet chaf and one o1
Durum. which yielded between 16CC
and 100 bushels. Flax as near as
could learn, yielded at an average
of II to 18 bushels per acre. John
Stout and Ray Guthrie, living two
miles north of Haley, realized, af.
ter paying threshing expenses, ST..
500 from 220 acres of wheat, oats
and flax.
This is what l found out in re-
gard to yields. My reason for writ.
ing this is simply to throw a little
light on the subject. Bowman
County has been shamefulIy misrep.
resented. l will not advise any
one, but will say this much that
Mother earthin Cooperation with
Uncle Sam has homes for thousands
yet. Every tenant of Kandiyohi
County working and toiling for
others for very small margin and
in seven chances out of ten accused
of bringing the farm to ruin and
everything on it, can go out on the
frontiers, select fine piece of his
own, work his own ground, be in.
dependent and fear nobody. l am
always inclined to side in with the
toilers Of the soil, the farmers, and
give push in that direction when.
ever can. hope l will not be
misunderstood. Everybody said
"Greet Kandiyohi friends" so in or.
der to make short process of it,
Shall take this method Of greeting
everybody concerned from their
