HARVEST BEGUN
:. ON the SLOPE
Some Grain is Already Cut
and Full Harvest Will be
on in a Few Days

Bismarck, N. D.. July 90
The first twenty acres of spring
wheat cut this year were harves-
ted two miles from Fort Rice,
Friday. This morning five more
binders went into the fields in
this locality. .~ . !.
Oats and barley cutting is we'll
under way, Winter wheat and
winter rye are about harvested
in the southern section of the
state.
The crops in the northern sec
tion are about ten days behind
the crops in other sections in
point of maturity. Flax will be
ready to cut in three weeks.
Corn will not materialize as well
as expected, due principally to
the poor seed used. Within a
fortnight the harvest fields in
North Dakota will present a
scene of unusual activity.
Small grains will run heavy
yields per acre. Better farming
methods employed, together with
propitious climatic conditions
are responsible for the bumper
crop. :
