WHEAT TRADE FAVORED
BY CLEAR weekend

Clearing weather at the enc of the
week was the most favorable factor in
the wheat trade. T%hreshing has been
delayed by general rains over a section
OF territory extending from Nebraska
to the Canadian line and from Mime
sofa west to the eastern boundary Of
Montana. The rains nave been fire.

a week or ten days. The clouds driftd
away Friday and the closing days were
fair and clear. While the tempera-
lures were none too warm, 1t was
warm enough to dry the grain suf-
ficiently to permit threshing to be re-
sumed. Sunday furnished great corn
growing weather in Minnesota and
North Dakota.
The strip of territory in the north
ern sections of North Dakota and Min
nesota has about completed cutting
and threshing reorts are coming in
from various localities. Threshing re-
ports are exceedingly optimistic. 1t is
to be expected that the phenomenal
yields will be mentioned first and the
story Of those yields will be circulated
broadcast. This year. however. there

itate about advising to SOW winter
grain among stuhbles. Nor do l ad-
wise 1t on land that is very foul with
weeds. The weeds the following year
would greatly hinder growth in the
grain. But on new land that has on

certainly legitimate to advise the drill

of a crop of winter wheat thus drilled
In stubble land in 1911 that will now
give a yield Of fully 80 bushels per
acre. 1t was grown by DR.. Sweat at
Dutton. and it is but one of many in
stances in which good crops of winter
wheat have been thus grown in Mon
tana the present season. The moisture
that fell in the autumn of 1911 was
quite favorable to the growth of the
crop. hence the good results that have
been obtained from such sowing the
present year.
Where the normal rainfall is not
bountiful, 1t is greatly important to
take advantage of 1t when 1t does fall
freely. 1t has certainly fallen freely
the past season. hence the advantage
that may be taken of this fact to SOW
winter wheat for the crop of 1913. In
a dry autumn it would be Very differ
ent. 1t would b hazardous to SOW

r there are who are anxious for the
season to open and who look forward
to this as the real sport of the year:
A good dog about this time of the

able asset to the hunters outfit, and
those who possess such an animal fig
ure tina a dog is safer under a lock
and key, as ONE dog thief might
come along and take a fancy to the
animal.

losis Sunday observed in the churches

space to tuberculosis Sunday, conclud-
ing with the following paragraph
anent it's observance in North Dakota:
The churches of North Dakota in
1910 and 1911 gave quite general as
sent to this movement. In each Of
these years over 800 ministers Of var
ious denominations gave a special
service to this subject; $4,000 persons
were thus reached and were given a
message of health and hope. A large
amount of literature was distributed
and many people were directed along
the paths Of right living. 1t is belieV-
ed that this year v a more general
response will be given and that the
Christian church will help as never

started for Grand Forks about s
o'clock last night and arrived here
at 9 o'clock this morning.
The motorcyclists missed the right
track to Crookston a short distance
out of Red Lake Falls. Not being ac-
quainted with the roads In that Sec
ton they asked the first man that

were travelling and they would reach

where they had stopped to ascertain
the lay of the land.
The boys followed instructions. Aft
er they had Travelled what they be-
lieved was all of seventeen miles and
more, they asked another man how

The second informant grinned from

said:
My friends. crookston is twenty
six miles back the way you have been
coming. You are just about three
miles from Red Lake Falls and if
YOU keep on this way you will soon
get right back TO where you started.
Better turn around. Good night. Get
up. Dohin."
When the m-otorcyclists had remov-
ed the dust of the disappearing wag-
on from their eyes. kicked each other
half a dozen times and turned their
machines around. they again set out
for Crookston-this time in the right
direction. The boys spent the night
in Crookston and came home this
