ciaiiy.
At Darlington conditions are good

This is especially noticeable north
and west of the town.
At New Rockford conditions are
fine and the town has taken on a de-
eided boom.

as fine wheat and oat fields around
McCtusky as there is Ia the state. but
q lot OF the crops are late; he also
states that IN of the poorest farm
Ing seen on the trip Is out along this
line.
One Of the very noticeable things
about this section is the CREST quaint
ity OF cream being shipped, from ten
to fifty can from ssery station every
day.
But the old Red river valley still
holds the palm according to MIR. GiI-
lespie, as nowhere ia the state are
the crops as fine, and less damage
has been done from excessive m0ist1re
than any other section.

which is q good barometer. new busi-
ness coming ia every week, and the
