FIRST WHEAT fine QUALITY
Threshers Are Busy in Vicinity and
Good Results are shown--Grain. Is
Good Grade and Yields rs Bushels
to the Aere-EarIy Grain in Grand
Forks County. .~

Grand Forks August 20.-The first
threshing reported; ino this vicinity
took place on the farm of Mayor
D. J. Henessy, of Reynolds, near that
city Tuesday. The wheat is turning
out rs bushels to the acre, according
to a message received, is of the best
quality and tips the tester at 61k
pounds to the bushel. This is the
earliest that wheat has ever been
threshed in that vicinity and the re-
suit is attracting a good deal of at
tention. 1. is the only threshing that
has been done so far in the state of
wheat where enough has been thresh-
ed to determine the yield per acre,
and the result is very gratifying.
Twenty-six bushels 20 the acre is
big crop for the valley and the pre-
dictions of a bumper crop in this
section are being we'll carried out.
Threshing was also done one the J,
D. Bacon farm near the city .yestar'
day and enough wheat was shelled
out to show tina. the berry is large
and of good color, although the wheat
needs to dry out considerable to grade
high. Not enough was threshed to
determine the yield per acre.
Grand Forks county seems 20 have
the jump on other sections of the
state this year in the matter of early
ripening of grain and threshing in
this vicinity is but a week or ZEN
days off. A number of farmers near
the city finished their wheat cutting
some days ago.

FARGO MOTORISTS Big TRIP
Chesbro Smith Makes a Long Trip
and Some Fast Runs - Passed
Through Bismarck on His Way
West - Had Exciting Experiences
and Saw Much Territory.

Fargo, n. D., Aug. 20-After having
made trip of approximately $500
miles through North Dakota ana
western Canada, Chesbro Smith and
w. F. Mares of Fargo, arrived home.
From Winnipeg to Fargo, a distance
of 27O miles by road, they made the
trip in: one day.
The trip was made in Mr.. Smiths
magnificent Chalmers Detroit, forty
horse. power car. Arriving. in Fargo
Mr.. Smith stopped only long enough
to say hello to few friends and
then left Immediately for Detroit,
where he will rest up at the lakes.
In spite of the bad roads and the long,
hard trip, he kept his car in excellent
shape and could start GU. on another
big tour at any moment.
The tourists have been on the road
about two weeks, having left Fargo
a week ago last Wednesday, and
made a circuitous trip through North
Dakota and Saskatchewan. They ac-
complished from Fargo to Mandan, a
distance of 215 miles in a day. They
then toured north into Oliver county
and then to Dickinson. They then
made rip into the Bad Lands, along
the Little Missouri, where they had
some exciting experiences in fording
the creeks and rivers. They then re-
turned to Mandan, and travelled from
that place to Washburn and to Minot.
From Minot the route was to Alamo
da, Sask., to Brandon, Moosemin,
Whitewood and Yorktown, in which
district they encountered bad going,
having frequently to be pulled out of
sloughs by oxen. From Yorktown
they came direct to Winnipeg, max
ing the distance in day and half.

KNOCKS THE RED MEN,;
SAYS they're NO GOOD

Bismarck Man Gives Out Interview
|. in Washington Claims Indians
Won't Work When Given a Chance
There Are Of Course Exceptions but
He Evidently Never Saw Them.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.-Robert
T. Swelton of Bismarck, while in
Washington the other day, remarked
that he couldn't for the life of him
see "any great good coming from the
efforts to get the Indians to work
hard and prosper in the goods of this
world. Perhaps it is. because I see
a good deal of them, and forget their
condition before they were what they
are now. But at any rate they are
still full of discouraging faults, that
seem to be so deep rooted and funda-
mental that I cannot see how any
amount of education can eliminate
them
There is a reservation of Sioux
called the Cannon Ball Reservation
on the Missouri river out in my state,
and on account of the presence of it
have had pretty good chance to
see the red man at close range. They
are still shiftless, extravagant, short
sighted in financial matters, and I'M
dependable. Here is typical example
of it. A few years ago-back in: 1903
and 1904-the' Northern Pacific rail-
road was putting branch line thru
from Mckenzie to Linton. There was
nothing difficult about the construc-
ton of the road, since the cuts and
fills were comparatively light for the
most part, and the soil was almost
all sandy and of an even consisten-
cy.
But at that, the amount of grading
was considerable, and large force
of men was employed to move the
dirt. At various times during the con-
struction of the road delegations Of
Indians from the Cannon Ball reser-
walton came to work, bringing their
horses and tepees and squaws and
babies and dogs, and all the rest OF
it. For awhile they would pitch into
the work like demons. That lasted
about three days on the average. Then
the novelty of the thing would wear
oil. Their ponies, which were entire
ly ground fed, commenced to get
poor Also a few dollars were jing-
ling in the trousers pockets of the
braves and the Jingle sounded good
for a luscious time back on the res
ervation. .sts,& r. s~-
$50 on about the fifth day the whole
camp would fold their tents and steal
away, looking as Indifferent as mil
1ionaires, and not caring straw
I whether the Northern Pacific railroad
built a line to Linton or not. And
T that's just an instance of many
that I might recite. The whole idea
seems to be opposed to all the thigs
we think are necessary to self-pres-
eryation, and the survival of the At.
test, and unless they get over it.

WANTS TO KNOW OF RESULTS
Agricultural College Interested in Re-
suits Of Spraying Experiments
Farmers Have Been Using Various
Mixtures This Summer-Farmer
Asked to Send Notes.

A. number of farmers have this. year
purchased spraying machinery and
applied several sorts of chemicals in
killing weeds in cereal grain fields.
The department Of botany of che
North Dakota Agricultural College is
interested in learning the results
which may have been obtained by the
farmers from such work; that it may
The better be able to give out informa-
ton in the future. We know that
some farmers have failed and that
some have claimed to make marked
success. IL
1t would be matter of great inter-
est to all, il some of hose who have
sprayed for the destruction of mus
tard, kinghead or other weeds could
give definite results regarding the af-
feet of the spraying upon the yield
of grain.
OF course where weeds were very
abundant and the spraying succeeded
in destroying them, there would I'M
doubleday be marked increase in
yield, but where weeds were less
abundant there seems to be some
uuest ion whether spraying nay not,
under some conditions, cause injury
to the crops.
The writer would be glad to receive
any notes thai the farmers may be
willing to send in, regarding this mat
ter If it is possible to learn the ef-
feet on the yield, by making a definite
test at The threshing machine, I
would be particularly pleased to re-
ceive snch notes. will be thankful
for any statement received regarding
the results Of spraying obtained dur
ing the present season.

Hardin College, Mexico, Mo, de-

THERE should be no petty jeal-
ousies among business men in Mex
leo. In order to have a prosperous
community and a growing city, our
merchants and business men must
all work together. A wise mer-
chant never gets sore because his
competitor gets his share of the
business. There is plenty for all.
Look pleasant, and keep your stock
in good condition; advertise. so the
public may know what you have to
sell. Don't get sore because you
don't sell it all; always favor pa
tronizing home institutions, but
when you find a mar buying from
the mail order houses, don't abuse
him, but show him that he could
have done better by buying at home.
You can't scare or bluff the people
into patronizing you. This is a free
country and the people are going
to buy where they can get the low
est prices and sell where they can
get the best prices. Look pleasant
and get clear Of that crouch, and
help make Mexico a city by broaden
ing out and loosening up.

SEVERAL farmers talking TO the
Ledger regarding the proposed co
operative poultry establishment in
this city. express themselves as in.
favor Of having as many buyers for
poultry and poultry products in Mex
leo as possible, but they r Of the
opinion that cash and not coupons or
orders for goods must be paid for
their products. They take the posi-.
ton that the day is past for farm
ers having to trade their products
for merchandise. They want to sell
their goods at the best possible
price for cash and then buy their
merchandise at the lowest possible
price for cash. In this contention
they are eminently correct. Farm
ers are independent and no longer
ask merchants to carry their ac-
counts for a year, or until their
crops are harvested. They feel con
fldent they can buy goods closer
by paying cash or at least making
settlements every month in the
