WINTER WHEAT CROP.

The condition of the crop in the win
ter wheat states is of interest to North
Dakotans. The Minneapolis Tribune
has the following comment on the sit
uation:
The importance Of a December wheat
report for a crop to be harvested the
following July is nominal since the
outcome is determined by the climatic
conditions of the winter and spring.
For this reason the unfavorable start
for the 1911 harvest, indicated by the
low percentage of condition, had no
bullish effect on, the market.
The report, however, established two
facts; the drought, which cut down the
crop returns last season still menaces
the agricultural sections of the coun-
try, but the farmers are increasing
their wheat area. If the December
prospect based on the termination, of
the seeds is the lowest since the fall
of 1895 the acreage is the greatest re-
corded leaving an unusual margin for
losses before reducing the prospects
below normal
As matter of fact December condi-
ton figures mean little. The seeded
area is the important factor as winter
declines in condition are seldom SER
ious, the drastic losses being recorded
In acreage. The average deterioration
for the last seven years Is only 7.3
per cent. Based on this months con-
dition the harvest percentage would be
75.2. but the records show that a low
December report is followed by mod
crate losses in later reports.
This is explained by the hardy char
acter Of the wheat plants Abnorn1ally
dry falls like the present one and that
of 1908 check the top growth OF the
wheat leaving the fields bare and sur
face conditions unfavorable. but the
plants ia seeking for the moisture.
necessary to their development. are
expending their energy in obtaining 4
deep rootage. The result is q vigorous
stand capable Of weathering to advan-
tage the hard winter season. While
failure to terminate occurs to some
extent the losses from that cause are
generally made up In the larger yields

A LIBERAL OFFER
We Guarantee to Cure oyspepsia--li
We Fail the Medicine Costs
Nothing.

! To unquestionably prove TO the peo-
pie that Indigestion and dyspepsia can
be permanently relieved and that Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets will bring about
| this result, we will furnish the medi-
| cine absolutely free il It fails TO give
satisfaction to any one using II.
The remarkable success of Rexall
| Dyspepsia Tablets is due 20 the high
degree of scientific skill used in devils
| ing their formula as well as to the
| care exercised In their manufacture,
whereby the well known properties of
Bismuth- Subnitrate and Pepsin have
been combined with Carminatives and
other agents.
Bismuth- Subnitrate and Pepsin are
constantly employed and recognized by
the entire medical profession as inval-
liable in the treatment of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets is prepared by process which
develops its greatest efficiency. Pep.
sin supplies to the digestive apparatus
one of the most important elements Of
the digestive fluid, and without 1t the
digestion and assimilation of food are
impossible.
The carminatives posses properties
which aid in relieving the disturbances
and pain caused by undigested food.
This perfect combination of these in
gradients makes a remedy invaluable
for the complete relief Of indigestion
and dyspepsia.

OVERLOOKING OPPORTUNITIES.

When one considers the great volume
of canned vegetables eaten in North
Dakota--it is a matter of establishment
that some enterprising man has not
started a vegetable canning establish
ment in this state.
There is no state in which they can
be raised more cheaply-or where they
grow more luxuriantly than here.
GlSra, peas. beans. corn, tomatoes, GU
cumbers and dozens OF other vegetables
of that class could easily be grown and
canned here In sufficient quantities,
not only to supply the entire state,
but other sections Of the country.
The newspapers have urged canning
factories from time TO time, but the
development of the country has evil
IDENTIFY not reached that stage--or the
people are neglecting fertile field of
profit.
