BANNER CROP in
bURLE|GHCOUNTY
Old Timers Are Making Big
Claims for Yields Of
Grain This Year

Old timers in Burleigh county are
comparing the crop conditions with
the bumper crop of 1882. o. H. Will
says that the present conditions indi-
cate a bigger crop in this locality than
any year since then. Jake Fields
claims to have the best wheat stand
in the county, but these honors are
disputed by James Mcdonald and Nor
man Falconer and several others.
With favorable conditions from now
on many fields will yield over the thfr.
ty bushel mark. The heads are un.
usually long. Oats and barley are
promising a big crop. The winter rye
harvest will be in full progress next
week, and that crop Is already as
sured. The warm weather has greatly
benefited the corn crop, which is now
coming on rapidly.
Harry Goddard says that the last
rains have done untold good in the
vicinity Of Mckenzie and Wing. Pc.
tatoes are forming and the local mar
ket is now furnishing new local grown
potatoes. Harvest help will soon be
a serious problem, and If favorable
conditions continue, it will be a difi.
cult thing to get enough help to har.
vest the crop.
