ROBINSON SAYS There
!. IS No BLACK rust
Minot Grain Man lnspects Fifty
Fields Of Wheat carefulIy-Thinks
There May BE Some Danger from
Frost,

A. A. Robinson, the grain man &C.
companied by his father, who has ben
engaged in the grain business IN
South Dakota for many years, and
Fred J. Whitman, bonanza farmer,
went out in an auto Friday afternoon
and inspected fully fifty wheat fields,
looking particularly for black rust.
They found ABSOLUTELY none. Mr..
Robinson says that most OF the
wheat is out of danger as far as
black rust is concerned, even tho It
should make it's appearance. Many
Of the farmers were cutting thei-
wheat, but a good deal of 1t Is in the
various stages Of development. Some
OF the berries are just in blossom
and many Of the late fields will hard
" be ready to cut for q month, or
even longer. There 10 a great deal
Of late fax and frost 10 likely to
catch some Of the fields, altho the
conditions generally are very rosy
and the crops could not appear much
better.
The average time for killing frost
to appear IN this section OF the state
is from Sept. Is to 20, altho killing
frost has come as early as Aug. -.
Last year We did not have a frost
that killed vegetation to any extent
until OFT. 10.

Dave Dinnie is quoted in the Grand
Forks Times of last evening as stat
ing that he has given an eastern
horse fancier an option on Don Deus
more at 100000 and has received
payment down of $500.
This is what the Times says re-
earding the matter: Don Densmore,
owned by Dave Dinnie of Minot, .
brother of the Dinnies Of Grand
Forks may sell for $1O0,000 if a deal
now pending is closed. Mr.. Dinnie
was in Grand Forks last evening
leaving this morning for his home,
and stated that he had been given
$500 by big eastern horse fancier to
cinch an option on Don, the pur'
chase price to be 100000 if the deal
is consummated. This is one of the
largest prices ever offered for any
horse, Dan Patch Eelng the only eA-
ception, and North Dakota fanclers
take considerable PRIDE in the fact
that Don Densmore was developed
and trained in this state by Flicker
tail men.
The immense price offered for the
horse came shortly after his mark
cf 2:O2 IA, made in Pittsburg last
week in the big grand circuit free
for-all. In this race the first heat
was paced in less than 2:02. Don
Densmore threw shoe in the first
heat and could only get fourth. IN
the next heat however he came back
strong and finished in 2:02A, pacing
the. fastest second heat OF race ever
raced by a horse in the worlds his
tory and the two heats together be-
ing the two fastest ever paced con
secutively.

Mrs. Sor- rells died about three weeks ago. The bride was a distant relative of Mrs. Sorrells, and it is understood one of the reasons for desiring a postpone ment of the wedding was the fact that the ceremony would have to take place soon after the death of Mrs. Sorrells. The Rev. Mr. Dean, pastor of the Park Avenue Methodist church, performed the ceremony. Tonight MT. and Mrs. Browning are the guests of Mrs. Sue L.
