siderable amount of FAX is being put

is being planted Crops look very
promising and if present weather con.

good yield; in fact crop and weather
conditions could not be better
Logan County.
Napoleon, June 3, 1911.-Some good
raiYis and repeated liant showers have
! placed land in this county in the best
of condition for good crop. Much
| OF the acreage was fall plowed and
| was cropped unusually early this
spring and as consequence is look
ing the best of any crop in late years.
Crops on old ground are generally
wheat and seed crops Reports indi-
cate an unusually large acreage of
corn, barley and oats. Because of
the high prices of feed and seed there
will be much less land broken than
for the past two years, and conse-
quently less seeded to fax. Breaking
is going on however in all parts of
the county and many thousands Of
acres will be broken. Several steam
plows are working in neighborhoods
where large tracts are available and !;
the land is not too hilly.
