The first wheat of this seasons crop
was marketed in Langdon on Friday of
last week when Fred Pope brought in
a load just threshed on his farm north
of town, selling the load to Agent Frank
Briggs at the Langdon Farmers
Elevator. The wheat easily graded No l
Hard, weighing as it did 81 pounds to
the bushel. The quality is undoubtedly
ahead of last years crop, but at the best
estimate possible Mr.. Pope does not
consider the yield will exceed 5 bushels
per acre. Threshing in various sections
of the county during the week indicate
that crops that have been harvested will
vary in yield from 5 to Is bushels per
acre.
Langdon's base ball team is disband-
ing for the sason this week and feeling
pretty we'll thank you since winning all
three of the championship series of games
played with Dresden's all star aggrega-
ton during the past ten days, a very fit
ting finale being the shut out with a
score offs to 0. The pennant comes to the
Langdon team honestly, won at the close
of a season during which it has met all
the base ball teams in the county and
won a large per centage of all the
games 1t has played. LangdIn's all
home ball team of 1910, with Grant
johnson at its head as manager is able
to disband this fall with a record to It's
credit that the boys composing the team
have just reason to be proud of,
