COUNTY
CROP TO Be FINE
Actual Figures on Yields will
Show Burleigh Ahead Of
All Other Counties.

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 2.-Burleigh
county will harvest this year n of
the largest crops in its history and
actual figures on h yields of various
agricultural products will demon
strate beyond a doubt its pre-emin-
ence over other counties in the state.
In making an auto trip o Bis
marck to Mckenzie, one passes
through a section of the country that
is typical of the entire county. The
road does not pass through any fav-
ored section. There are hundreds and
hundreds of acres passed that have
never fclt the caress of the plow-
share. There are r%avines, alkali flats.
Great fields in some places are lying
idle. and covered with weeds. But
these instances are rare. 1t is the
cultivated fields that attracts the eye.
and causes n to gaze in wonder and
awe at the henevolence of nature.
Having Completed.
Hayins is practically completed. al
though there are some farms where
stacking is still in progress. Large
fields of winter rye have hecn cut. the
grain standing in the shock awaiting
the advent of the thresher in the fall.
Binders are working in the fields. and
within the next seven days all harv-
esting will be we'll under way.
There is considerable difference be-
tween feldS. some grain has turned
a glorious golden color, and stands in
majestic silence. waiting to be cut
down by the reaper. They will have
ample time to mature. however, be
fore the harvest season is over.
Heads We'll Filled.
Oats. barley. speltz, spring wheat
and 9th .r agricultural products are
in splendid condition. One notice.
able feature of this years crop is tina
the heads of the grain are filled clear
upto the very tip. and the kernels
are good size. This will add materi-
ally to the yield per acre.
Corn fields are fairly Well advanced,
the corn having tassled out and be-
ing we'll cared. However. the fields
are on the average rather thin, de-
noting the work of cut worms. and
showing the result of the inability of

STOCK DEALING

Distribution Wider and the
Tone Stronger Than in
Any Recent Session.

stocks today were more active. the
distribution wider n the tone

100000 shares the market assumed
an air approaching buoyancy, which
taking. In the final hour, following
the declaration of the regular divi-
dend on st. Paul common, activity
was resumed and higher prices were
established.
The movement today derived no
small part of its impulse from abroad,
London sending over a list Of general
advances. led by Canadian Pacific.
That stock opened here with a new
high record and a gain of four points,
while practically all the speculative
.favorites We're up a point or more.
A few specialties shared in the rise.
which was most significant, however,
from the fact 1t had its leadership
in the standard railway shares, par
ticularly those comprised in the
northwest group. Steel held it's place
in respect of activity. and sold at it's
best price in several weeks. Today's
gains took in practically every issue
of known merit. as we'll as many of
the more obscure securities.
The action IF the ST. Paul directors
could hardly have been based upon
financial returns. which have been al
together discouraging, so Wall street
interpreted the maintenance Of the
regular dividend as an indication that
the very powerful interests controll-
ing that system are hopeful of the
immediate future, feeling which prob
ably has its basis on the crop out
look.
Various important railroads pub
lished earnings today for June, those

o and Atlantic Coast Line also

Vertible issues. Total sales par value

harvesting is starting in the spring

Apprehension of black rust damage is
becoming less Of a factor every day
as the grain approaches closer to ma
turity. One Of the experts wired
from Crookston that wheat harvest
ing has started around there and that
80 per cent of the wheat is safe from
black rust damage. Southwestern re-
ceipts are running extremely liberal

PROBABLY
SAVE MUCH MONEY
Farmers of This State Will
be Able to Have Cheap
Oil for a While.

Fargo, \. D.. Aug. 2.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 will he saved to farm
ers and other users of machinery in
North Dakota by a decision of Judge
Pollock in district court Thursday
morning granting a temporary in
junction to the Standard oil COM
pany. restraining the state oil exami-
or from excluding certain inferior
grades of gasoline.
Used for Motimc Power.
In an act regulating the importa-
ton of gasoline into the state the last
legislature barred absolutely all
grades of the liquid which could not
pass the standard gravity test. These
grades consist of inferior oil which
is largely used for motive power in
engines.
Ladd Demands tho Label.
In the hearing before Judge Pol
lock this morning on the request of
the Standard Oil for a tenn.
the North Dakota agricultural college
declared that in his opinion the state
should admit the lower grades of oil
provided they are expressly labeled
not to be used for lighting purposes.
Macarthur Does Not Object.
State Oil Inspector D. II. Near
thur. represented by Attorney General
Allller l"ntefpoSed no serious objection
to the restraining order. In the opin-
ION of the state examiner the admis-
sion Of h cheaper oil will be a boon
TO the farmers who can use it extern
sively in gasoline engines. 1t is de-
clared that the poorer grades are
more productive of power than the
more refined grades and can be
bought for from two to three emit
cheaper per gallon.
Signs the Order.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Pollock signed the emporary re-
straining order asked by the counsel
for the Standard Oil company.
The order e~njoins Oil Inspector Nc
Arthur and his deputies from inter-
fering with the shipment of the lower
grades of oil into the state and the
market will at once be thrown open
for the sale of oil which has been
barred.

PURCHASE LAND
Right-of-Way Agent Secures All But
a Few Acres.

Shafer. n. D.. Aug. aside from
a few acres OH the farms of two or
three persons. Col. D.. j.. Hull. the
Great Northern right-of-way agent,
has completed the purchase Of the
r~isht-of-way through Billings county
from the Missouri river on the east, to
the Yellowstone river on the west.
The distance Is approximately 100
miles, over half of which is on deed
ed land. Practically all of the land
over which the survey passes. Cherry
creek down the Little Missouri river
to its mouth, is owned by the govern.
ment and the Indians. on the Rnrthold
reservation.
In most instances where a clear
title could be given for right way
on decided land. the purchase price
has already been paid over. Other
tracts on deed land are being held
on contracts awaiting the partial re-
lease Of mortgages.
Unless the parties who are 10Y
holding out for what the railway COM
pany consider %exorbitant prices for
their land, agree to settle for some
where near the average price paid for
the land needed, condemnation suits
will be filed at an early date. The
average cost of the land already pur-
chased through the county is between
$40 and $12 per acre.
AS Colonel Hull has only been in
the county about three weeks he has
established a record in purchasing the
r~ight-of-way between the rivers. 1t
was necessary to visit and bargain
with more than fifty property owners.

the various markets.
With regard to crop prospects, the
preliminary estimate of the Italian
wheat crop points to large imports
required during the coming season.
probably nearly 5000, 600 qrs. more
than in the present season. 1t was
known that the crop was not so good
as last year. but the deficiency is GER
tainly larger than anticipated. The
French crop has deteriorated some
what since May 1. and is not expected
to be larger than that Of last year.
1t is generally thought that. If the
weather is favorable for harvesting,
France has pretty we'll covered her
requirements until new wheat is avail
able. but if this years Weld prove to
be no larger than that of 1911, then
fairlyimportant quantities of foreign
wheat will be required in the latter
part of next season.

ISL. BETTER SEED

Fargo, \. D.. Aug. HI. L. Boil
ley. the hotanist of the agricultural
college, has issued his press bulletin
No. So. which treats on the harvest
ing of grain for use or sale as seed
for sowing purposes. He has listed
a number of essential steps which he
says are necessary. as follows: Get
better seed. establish a consistent,
persistent crop relation; handle your
barnyard properly with re-
ference to weeds. seeds and root dis
eases which they carry; disinfect all
seed which you SOW.
He has divided the question as to
how to get better seed into five sub
divisions and these are headed: Raise
your own seed; harvest the seed when
matured: thresh it as soon as dry;
and he say h a seed which has beer
moistened or made wet can never be
good seed: store the seed dry; grade
out of it all the weed seeds and light
weight stuff, including dirt. straw and
chaff; the seed should always be of
pure variety and never a mixture.
These bulletins can be had by call
ing on or addressing DR.. Bolley.
