1t more sense than some Of the poetry

wrote:

With her to an isle in the wafer I would

"Now." he continued. why did she
lay the dishes in q row instead of one
on top of another? Simply because
the poet must find a rhyme to go.
And where on earth should an isle be

SHOWS Improvement

The following crop report was issued
on August IA by the state commissioner
of agriculture:
Almost without exception the favor
able reports received last week have
been repeated for the week just ended.
In many instances fields which were
given up as beyond hope are now ex-
pected to give a renumerative yield.
The report of DAMAGE from rust in the
eastern counties have been proven to be
grossly exaggerated, although one
county anticipates q damage to spring
wheat from this source of from Is to 80
per cent. Such threshing as has been
done indicates q better yield than was
anticipated at one time. and of excel
lent quality. Flax will give almost,
if not quite, an average crop, the final
outcome depending upon weather on
ditiOns from now on, an early killing
frost being the most to be feared for
this crop. Spring wheat will average
almost b full crop in all of the Red
River counties and those of the second
tier north and south from that river:
fully more than half a crop will be Sc
cured in the rest of the state. AS these
Red River counties produce about half
of the wheat raised in the state this
estimate would indicate almost a three
quarter crop of the principal cereal
grown. The same estimate will apply
to oats and barley. Winter rye is thresh-
ing out almost a full crop. Corn will
be the best crop in years if frost holds
off and ripening weather prevails. Hay
and all kinds of roughage will be plenti-
full and stuck will 20 into the winter in
prime condition. Potatoes promise
we'll, the late rains assuring at least an
average yield.
Harvest is now general all over the
state. and this report will be the last
issued by the department for the season
of 1911.
