ALREADY CUTTING
SPRING WHEAT
o. w. 5LAkELY HARVESTING A
GOOD CROP OF VELVET cHAFF
WHEAT AT HARWooDzeRAlN
WAS RAISED ON LAND THAT
RAISED CLOVER LAST YEAR.

When spring wheat can be harvested
on July Is, the state is going some for
early wheat crops.
The above accomplishment has been
achieved by d. w. Blakely of Har-
wood, who is in the city today, and he
is not only surprised but pleased with
the outcome of his early work this
spring. He planted thirty acres Of
velvet char wheat about April l and
is now cutting it. The grain stands
about thirty inches high, has very lit
tie foliage but long and well filled
heads, and Mr.. BlakeIy estimates the
yield at fifteen bushels, although others
have placed 1t as high as twenty bush
els. ...-... ......
The grain was sown on land that
had been in Glover for several years,
but was put into barley last year, and
to the fact that II was clover land Mr..
Blakely attributes it's withstanding the
dry spell so well and early ripening.
He has some winter wheat which he is
also cutting, and is inclined to save
this particular velvet chaff for seed to
see If it will ripen early next year. He
says the berries are large and of fine
color and as good all around as any
grain he ever saw. None of his blue
stem wheat has even shown signs Of
opening, although most of it was sown
about the same time as the velvet
,haff
AS far as we are aware, this is the
EARLIEST spring wheat ever grown in
he state.

TO the above letter Professor Shep-
perd sent the following reply which
will be of interest. to other farmers:
Flax is particularly adapted to sod
land and requires cleaner ground for
successful growing than any other of
the small grains. 1t cannot be seeded
as early as wheat with safety as a
frost which kills it below the two seed
leaves is fatal to it.
The seed bed should be particularly
well fined and free from weeds before
the flax is planted. / believe that the
North Dab6ta No. 155 flax seed, a
pedigree sort, will give as good results
as can be obtained with any variety,
Sow it at the rate of one-half bushel
of seed per acre. Don't put 1t in more
than three inches deep, and drill it
more shallow if there is moisture
enough to insure it sprouting wen.

Ignite TO BE SHIPPED
DOWN MISSOURI RIVER.

Dakota Farmer: 1t begins to look as
though our long neglected coal fields
were at last to be appreciated. and that
all the fuel consumed by our people
would not come all the way from far
pennsylvania to our fires. From a
number of points come reports of more
than usual interest in our great Ignite
coal deposits and now the business men
along the Missouri are waking I'D to
the possibilities of mining and floating
to railroad crossing points some of this
unused wealth.
Report has 1t that P. F. Mcclure.
one CT Pierre's most prominent push
ers, who has been investigating the
coal proposition in connection with the
matter far enough to find that the coal
collected data which are sources of
wonder to those who have looked upon
the coal of the northwest as a small
proposition. He has gone into the
matter far enough to find that the COAL
of the Dakotas is to play large part
in the fuel problem of the country.
Mr. Mcclure says:
Lignite coal can be machine mined
by contract labor on large scale at a
maximum cost of so cents a ton. I
venture to predict that there will be
very little Pennsylvania coal sold in
these states three years from now. We
are laying the foundation for making
the Dakotas the foremost fuel-pro-
ducing states in the union"
The construction of a craft of nro-
portions to handle traffic along the
river would cost approximately $4,000
and there is no question longer as to
the raising of funds here and at Fort
Pierre TO construct one or more Of such
boats. A company will be organized
at an early date, and construction work
will be commenced next fall.

License Refund Question.
The refunding of the license money
paid by the saloons to the city was one
OF the ''momentous" questions, that il
being discussed today. One or two of
the bankers think the city authorities
We're little bit hasty in paying over to
the county the 10 per cent tax from the
license fees, that 1t will be a difficult
matter to recover from the county
commissioners unless they should as
sumo an attitude OF "Barkis is willin'."
There is question whether the CITY
would have to refund. 1t has no part
in the action which has been taken and
the city council has acted within its
charter powers and according to the
laws Of the state and commonwealth
of Minnesota.
Fergus Falls is cited as an instance
where refundment was made. but Ii
must be remembered that the condi-
tons In the former town and Moorhead
are entirely different. At Fergus Fails
the doing away OF the saloons was
by an act of the people. by the lattark
franchise and vote. Whether the citv
council will respect decisions relating
to other cities remains to be seen.
Undoubtedly the refundment will be
made, is the general sentiment.
Elias Rachie OF Willmar was visit
or in the city today. He is the state
organizer for the county optionists and
was delighted that the end Of saloons
In Moorhead was in sight But that
did not seem to concern him as much
as making the people Of Fargo dry.
II am pleased TO her the news he said.
4 means that it will stop those Fargo
fellows from visiting Moorhead and
and that will help the cause lot"

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 19.-Wheat: The
wheat market opened steady to u low
er, although the high point of the
opening range showed an advance over
last nights closing price. but trade
at the extreme high prices was ex-
ceedingly limited There were some
light showers in the northwest WITH
temperatures generally lower A re-
port issued by the commissioner of
agriculture and labor, dated Bismarck
N. D., and covering forty counties in
the state said that showers during
the past week had brought about
considerable improvement and indicat-
ed a heavier yield in some quarters
than recently estimated. This report
undoubtedly caused considerable SELL
ing both in the way of liquidation and
for short account and was an import
ant influence in the market. The
northwestern markets showed az much
weakness relatively as our own, Win
inpeg excepted.
A local elevator interest were prom
inent on the selling side all day. Ac-
ceptances and sales by the country of
winter wheat were not as heavy as
yesterday. Baltimore wires an en-
gagement Of two loads of ocean freight

The set back in wheat today was quite |
to be expected, as the market was un-
doubtedly heavily long and the adj |
vance has been a steady and continu-
Gus one. European crop news and the
movement OF winter wheat will be the |
two important factors in price making

Grain Oninions.

Finley, Darrell & Co.: AS we be-
leve mucn of the wheat sald has gone
into weaker HANDS and as the market
technically is ripe for reaction, some
further setback in values appears in
order. We continue to feel friendly to
corn but in view of the possibilities of
a reaction in wheat we advise awaiting
soft spots before making purchases.
5. B. Chaplin e Co: While these
reactions are to be expected from time
TO time, on any further decline we
would advocate purchases.
Shearson- Hammill & Co.: The wheat
situation is a hard one to size I'D
but when We look at the price we are
disposed to feel that it discounts the
damage and that wheat is at least high
enough on that theory.
Logan & Bryan: So long as the corn
peit has present fine conditions we
think the late months a sale on such
ewells.
]. H. Wrenn & Co.: A change of
sentiment on the part of spectators
would be quickly reflected in decline
wheat prices H. w. Co.

Some Good Crons.

Last evenings Fergus Falls Journal
has the following:
E. 5. Ferguson returned from a trim
TO Gladstone, in the extreme western
part of North Dakota Saturday night.
He was at Gladstone Friday. when
the thermometers registered 10 in
the shade. He says that people did
not suffer much, but everyone quit
work and kept as quiet as possible.
There was very little wind, but when
a light breeze did spring up 1t felt
as though it was coming from a
prairie fire. Notwithstanding this
extreme heat, he says the crop there
and around Beach, N. D., will aver
age so per cent of last years yield.

Does Advertising Pay.
Speaking of advertising, Mr.. Fair |
banks said:
Does advertising pay? has been the
theme Of numerous and labored ut
terances and there are, no doubt re-
mote and obscure corners of the coun-
try where it is still vital. living cues
ton, but, as, a rule, it has become aca- 4
demic, and many of the successes we
witness in the market place have been
chieved by the fullest recognition in
practice of the affirmative of the prop
osition. The best advertiser and the
best merchant are synonymous and the
poorest advertiser is usually the one
who finds himself in court of bank
ruptcy. OF course, all advertisers do I,
not succeed, but think 1t will be gem
orally admitted that there are fewer
failures among them than among those
who do not possess the faculty of
bringing their business fairly and ia
vorably before the public"

HOT War over
GUARDIANSHIP
DICKINSON GUARDIAN REMOVAL
CASE NOW PENDING IN coUN-
TY-BlTTER FIGHT MADE I'D
RETAIN GUARDIANSHIP IN
GARDNER.

The petition for the removal OF
Kernahan Dickson Of Gardner, guard
ian of the minor children of his broth
er, William Dickson, deceased, by Mrs.
A. M. Mitchell, mother of the children,
was heard this morning before Judge
Hanson in county court. A bitter
fight is being made by the children's
mother and stepfather, to effect the
removal of the guardian on the charge
that his administration of their affairs
has been greatly to the detriment of
the three children in his charge. Yer
non r. Lowell acted as counsel for the
petitioners and l.. L. Twichell Is the
attorney for the defense
The petitioners allege that Dickson,
as guardian, has abused his privileges
and has Withheld the proper allowances
of the three children, frequently de-
priving them of necessary funds for
their maintenance They further all
lege that they have been maintained
out of the private revenue of the step
father A. M. Mitchell, who is photo
grapher at Gardner. The petitioners
further claim that Dickson's manage
ment of the state has been only such
as would meIitate against the interest
of the children's property.
In his defense Dickson alleges that
in the three years his brothers widow
has been married to Mitchell, the lat
ter has done nothing whatever toward
the support of either himself, his wife
or the children and that he has lived
solely out of the monthly allowance OF
the children stipulated in the will of
their father. He claims that the par
ents have conspired to obtain control
of the funds for their own uses, and
he further alleges that neither of them
are fit morally to have the custody
of the children.
The trial was an interesting one and
the courtroom was crowded with
many spectators from Gardner, many
of whom were witnesses for the petit
TONERS and the defense. Hearing OF
the case was postponed until tomor-
row morning.
