Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

EXCELLENT YIELD EXPECTED.

Crops Throuahout State Reported 20
BE In Splendid Condition.
Crop conditions were never better
IN North Dakota than they are this
gear. Such is the unanimous verdict
Of several prominent residents Of the
state who have had an opportunity Of
making q thorough study Of condi-
,tions in various sections of North Da-
kota.
State Oil Inspector Frank w. WILL
son, who covers the entire state in
his regular travels, is very optimistic.
I'VE will have splendid crop this
year." he says. "if the conditions that
have prevailed SO far are followed
with the right kind of weather. Ev-
'erywhere have gone find the situa-
tion very satisfactory, and there can
be little doubt but that North Dakota
ris in line for splendid harvest.
'Up in my home county, in the
vicinity of Bathgate, the crops are
growing nicely. We have had just
the right amount of rain so far, and
everything else has been favorable
also. The farmers of that section of
Pembina county are taking up farm
ing on a different scale than they
have been operating heretofore. The
wheat acreage this year will be about
20 per cent lower than a year ago,
and in its place are various kinds of
other grasses. Timothy and millet
are being grown largely.
State Senator G. s. Trimble of Bot
tineau county stated that his section
of the state is faring we'll.
"Our country is one that requires
a great deal of rain, and so far we
have had plenty. The sandy condition
of the soil, which is much lighter
than the valley soil, is such that it is
practically impossible to drown out
the crops. This year we have had
some splendid rains, and the result is
shown in the fine appearance of the
grain on every hand"
Representative o. ]. Sorlie of Bux.
ton spoke in most enthusiastic terms
of the grain situation.
Trail county," he said, Though
about the lowest county in the state
is faring splendidly. We have had
much rain, but so far it has not re-
suited in any injury to the crops"
