the golden valley country was dis

section had been threshed ahead of

threshed has been stacked, however.
and much of it is yet being saved
this fall. Few towns in North Da-
kota have a larger elevator capacity

elevator in North Dakota is located
at Beach, and every one of these
grain houses are filed to the brim

vators was so heavily laden with
grain that 1t broke down under the

thority on the local crop situation pre-
dict that the amount of grain market
ed at Beach this year will amount to
at least 100000 bushels.
