W. j. Motley this week pu released a
full Case threshine rig, including a 90
40 gas engine and separator. Mr.;
Motley, was almost forced to make this
purchase on account of the amount of
unthreshed grain in his fields and the
uncertainty of getting anybody to do it
before the grain would take injury. He
has 5000 bushels Of wheat and 1000
bushels of oats in his granary which
were threshed early but the outfit has
gone elsewhere and Mr.. Motley figured
it would be safer to buy his " ma
chine to thresh his remaining 1000
bushels of wheat and 3, 900 bushels of
oats and then have his engine for all
blowing. :.
j. B. Dickson Vas in from his big
farm hear Halliday the first of the week
and purchased a new Reeves gas .engine
of Charlie johnson. This makes three
engines for the Dakota Development
Co.. one for blowing and two for wagon
trains. Manager Dickson is hiring his
,hreshing done this season and expects
to finish the wheat another week. The
yield averages about is bushels and<the
grade is good. The farm, it will be re-
membered, had a partial loss from hail
in the summer. Mr.. Dickson has 700
acres of flax to cut and stated that he
did not consider that the frost had in
jured this grain in the least. He had
already marketed /. 500 bushels of wheat
in Taylor. About 900 bushels can be
taken over the roads to market at a time
with the tractors.
W. G. Henderson of Parma. Idaho,
was in the first of the week from near
Berg. where he visited his brother. en-
gagged there in the stock business. Later
in the week Mr.. Henderson went to
Glen Ullin from which place he vas to
60 by stage to. the mouth of Spring
creek, nine miles from Hazen, where he
was formerly engaged in stockarowine.
He came out from the west about two
weeks ago and will probably return the
coming week. Mr.. Henderson says that
a great many people in the Parma
country are setting out apple orchards
to take the place of alfalfa crops. The
owners find that the price of land is
getting very high and while alfalfa
yields six to eight tons to the acre, it
is hoped that apple raising will give a
better return on the investment.
