Il Gave Columbus the idea For His
Voyage Of Discovery.
Medieval Europe knew but very lit
tie Of eastern and northeastern Asia.
Many Of the most learned cosmogra'
piers Of the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely, and no
one imagined that it had an eastern
coast washed by the ocean. 1t was Sc
riously taught that eastern Asia was a
land of vast swamps, inhabited by
monster serpents and dragons. This
was the opinion that still prevailed up
to within 200 years Of the time of Co.
lumbus.
At this time two Venetian merchants
Of the name Of Polo went on vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts of Asia. They were gone many
years. Upon their return the son OF
one Of them, a young man named Mar
co Polo, wrote out full account of
their travels, described the empire of
the grand khan Ghe Chinese EMPEROR
and revealed the fact that Asia was

founded on the east by ii vast ocean.
He described this eastern coast mi
nutely, with all its vast cities and its
wealth of precious stones and spices
It was from reading this book that
the lima gination Of Columbus was fred.
and he conceived the bold idea Of
reac hing this eastern coast Of Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth.
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not a doubt that he had landed upon
the coast of Asia and that he looked
upon the same scenes that Marco Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before.

Celvlng considerable attention. Con-
ditions generally are very satisfac-
tory.
Ransom County.
Enderlin, June II, 1910. Two nice
rains have improved prospects very
materially, although territory north
and east of county line is in need of
more moisture. Prevailing opinion
is that crop has stooled fully up to
the average. Gardens supplying early
vegetables for the table. Grass has
made good progress the past few days
and with continued warm weather
prospects are very bright.
RichIand County.
Wahpeton, June 10, 1910. Light
rains and warmer weather for past
few days have materially frightened
crop prospects. Wheat, oats and bar
ley are recovering from the setback
caused by cold weather, frost and
lack of moisture. Hay prospects
short by reason of lack of moisture
during early spring. Corn acreage
greater than ever before. Garden
vegetables looking good. More rain
needed.
Stark County.
Dickinson, June II, 1910. Total pre-
cipitatiOn during week of 1873 inches
has furnished abundant moisture for
growing crops. Weather much warm
er and conditions generally excellent.
Sheridan County.
McClusky, June II, 1910. Slight
frost in fore part of week injured crop
slightly, but abundance Of subse-
quent rain has helped wonderfully,
especially late-sown grain, and pros
poets are now very encouraging. Veg
etables looking fine. Corn somewhat
stunted by frost.
Steele County.
Hope, June II, 1910. Weather for
past week considerably warmer and
conditions for growth of grain quite
satisfactory. More rain would be &C.
ceptable particularly for fax on new
breaking. Indications point to rain
during next "a hours. Advices are
that wheat is doing we'll and is gen.
orally in vigorous condition. Farm
ers generally look upon conditions as
satisfactory.
Stutsman County.
jamestown, June II, 1910. Heavy
rains past week and warm, growing
weather. Prospects greatly improved
and now better than average at this
time. Flax-seeding rapidly being fin
lshed with largest acreage on record
Late grain rapidly catching up.
Towner County.
Bisbee, June II, 1910. Some barley,
oats and wheat on low lands badly
touched by frost June 3rd. Since
then good showers and warm weather.
Crops coming to the front fast and
outlook Is per cent better than a
week ago. Hay crop very backward
owing to lack of water in the sloughs
and crop will not be large even with
favorable weather. All grain shows
that strong root made during colder
weather will insure rapid growth
from now on.
Ward County.
Minot, June IL, 1910. Crop condi-
tions have been reasonably favorable
the past week. Numerous light show
ers have furnished sufficient moist
ure for present needs, but more and
heavy rain would be welcome.
Wells County.
Harvey, June II, 1910. Heavy rain
fall the past week, which, with warm
er weather, has caused a wonderfu,
over last weeks un-
favorable outlook. Conditions are now
very favorable for rapid growth.

The average term of an elephants
life although there is no precise infor-
nation on the point. is seventy or

The most ready way of forming an

Logan County.

Logan County.
Napoleon, June II, 1910. Copious
rains for the last ten days have prac-
tically assured good crop in this
county. Many farmers have renewed
their breaking and seeding, an in
crease in the cultivated area of 25 per
cent being indicated. The flax acre
age will be about the same as last
year.
Mclean County.
Washburn, June II, 1910. Copious
rains visited the county in all parts
last week. Dry weather the past
month will materially reduce the fax
acreage. Much corn has been planted
and acreage of all grains is consider
ably larger than last year. All grains
are firmly rooted and prospects could
not we'll be better.
Mckenzie County.
Schafer, June II, 1910. Cooler
weather than normal has prevailed
the past week, mercury ranging from
IS to IS in middle of day. Three light
frosts but no damage. All grains
strongly rooted and wheat is well
stooled. Half inch of rainfall. Break
ing still going on and flax seeding pro-
crossing. Some farmers are taking
special pains in preparing flax land,
rolling, discing and narrowing same.
Most, however, is being put in with
a single discing or narrowing on the
rough sod, farmers claiming to be
too busy" to give proper attention.
Flax acreage in county will be very
large. A field of winter barley near
Schafer stood 80 inches high on May
28th and was we'll headed out.
Morton County.
Mandan, June II, 1910. Almost con-
tinuous rain for the past week all
over the county with warmer weather
are conditions responsible for most
pleasing reports from all quarters.
Crops are yet trif1e backward but
are rapidly gaining and good yield
is looked for.
MountraiI County.
Stanley, June II, 1910. Crop condi
tions here just about perfect, owing
to recent general rain and warmer
temperature. Frost slightly affected
grain on low lands last week but
most of it has now recovered. Flax
is nearly all in and early paintings
are we'll above ground and looking
fine. Crops generally little behind
last year as to forwardness but are
heavier and promise bigger yield.
Nelson County.
Lakota, June II, 1910. First three
days of week cool and cloudy, with
heavy local showers though none fell
here. Latter part of week fair and
warm, and grain has made rapid pro-
gress but rain is much needed. Flax
seeding about completed and crop
showing we'll above ground. Early
sown grain giving indications of joint
ing. which means very short straw if
abundant rain does not come soon.
Pembna County.
Pembina, June II, 1910. Conditions
show marked improvement over last
week. owing to copious local showers
and warmer weather. Seeding will
be completed here by the 18th.
Ramsey County.
Churchs Ferry, June 10, 1910. Many
showers and warm weather have been
favorable for grain growth. Much
land has been broken this spring and
manure has also been applied to old
lands and pastures, the use of manure
spreaders being general and most
satisfactory. Commercial manures
are coming into use, and scientific
farming is being more generally prac-
ticed. Stock and dairy farming is re-

Barnes County.
Valley City, June IL, 1910. Crop
outlook much improved as compared
with a week ago. Warmer weather
and opportune showers. Favorable
weather for next two weeks will as
sure conditions equal to last year at
same time. Garden products are un-
usually backward.
Burleigh County.
Bismarck, June II. 1910. Abundant
rain and warmer weather all over
county have improved conditions
wonderfully and all grains are now
making phenomenal growth, indica-
tions being for largest yield on on
record.
Cass County.
Casselton, June II, 1910. Farmers
reports not very favorable for past
week. Rain has not been sufficient to
help much and warm weather is bring
ing early sown grain to head rapid
ly. Examination shows heads to be
small and weak in appearance with
exceedingly short straw. Later soWn
grain gives better promise, but rain is
much needed. Corn and vegetables
never looked better. At present writ
ing indications point to crop below
average.
Cavalier County.
Langdon, June II, 1910. Past week
very favorable for crops which are
coming along rapidly, showers and
warm weather being responsible for
the improvement More rain would
still be welcome although nothing is
suffering. Plants look healthy and
remarkable growth indicates little or
no damage from the recent frosts and
winds, and few days more of favor
able weather will put grain in better
than average condition.
Dunn County.
Manning, June II, 1910. A fine
Neutrality-suspicious. rain has had Won
derful effect upon crops which were
heretofore little backward. Wheat
and oats are we'll advanced and po-
tatoes are doing nicely. Farmers are
still seeding flax, of which the acre
age will be double that of last year.
Weather is warm and outlook very
bright for good seas on.
Eddy County.
New Rockford, June II, 1910.
Splendid rain night Of 9Th and 18th,
which, if present warm weather con-
tinues will place crop in as good
shape as last year. Good reports re-
ceived from all directions.
Emmons County.
Linton, June 10, 1910. Conditions
have improved wonderfully the past
week, owing to numerous rains and
warmer weather and everything
points to an excellent crop in all
grains, those on old ground looking
specially fine.
Foster County.
Darlington, June II, 1910. Less
than usual amount of moisture has
fallen this spring and crops are below
normal in height, though exception
ally well-rooted. An inch of rain the
past week has improved conditions !
and temperature is favorable for rapid
growth. Some flax has been re-seeded !!
as the result of frost. Fall rye head J
ing with short straw. In general crop
conditions are fair.
Grand Forks County.
Grand Forks, June II, 1910. Warm
weather the past few days has done
wonders for the crop and with aver
age rains an unusually large crop in
all grains is Indicated. Clover has
wintered we'll and an excellent stand
seems sure. Corn promises we'll and !
