A drive in Ed A~nderson's big tour
ing car yesterday morning in company
with Banker G. w. Hurt of Illinois,
revealed to a representative of The
Forum that never in the history of
North Dakota was there such promis-
ing conditions for an immense crop as
there are this year.
The Illinois banker was here merely
to take a look at the land and he had
a frst-class man for his pilot.
From here to A~rgusville he fields
never looked better. Shortly after
leaving Fargo the Illinois man re-
marked rs the a shot past a big
field of corn, That's pretty good look
ing corn" A little farther along he
remarked, why that corn looks al
most as well as our corn in Illinois"
and a mile or so on the road he took
another look at a field and said in a
decisive tone, by thunder, that corn
really beats the Illinois corn, and
don't you forget it." and it might be
remarked that Mr., Hurt isn't a land
man either.
Preparing for Picnic.
Out at the Mortenson farm, about
twelve miles from the city towards
Argusville, the owner Of the farm was
hosting the regulation size Norwe-
gian flag and remarked that there was
a picnic coming out from Fargo to
take dinner and the family was pre-
pairing ice cream for their guests. A

A FISTIC ENCOUNTER
Employees Of S. Birch e Sons Engaged
in Fistie Warfare-one Charged
With Assault and Battery.

a 1stic encounter Of two employees
OF s. Birch & Sons on the streets Sat
urday resulted in the arrest Of Jack
Kromer on the charge of assault and
battery. The defendant pleaded guilty
this morning before Judge Miller and
was held to the county court where
he will be given a hearing on the re-
turn OF Judge Hanson from the lakes.
The complaining witness was Max
zrtnas, a laborer employed on the
street paving job of the Birches. Max
says he dumped some sand in the
wrong place and without the slightest
provocation Kroner jumped on him
and beat him up.
III asked me Why / dumped the
sand there" said Zrinas. 'I told him

SAM STERN BACK HOME
He Talks of Crop Conditions Between
Here and Billings and Says
They Are o. K.

Sam Stern returned home last Sat
urday from q trip through Montana,
spending considerable time in the city
OF Billings. while North Dakota is
going to have a big harvest" said he
yesterday, II want to tell you that
Montana will not be far behind. The
crops out that way presented a beauti-
full appearance and all along the road
home I kept pretty good tab on the
condition as the train passed along and
everything looks grand. The mines
out in Montana SO ] was told are all
working and everything in a business
line is first class. I made some inqui-
ries from mel who were on the train
as to the conditions farther west and
it was the same story. Everything
fine,' and so 1T would appear to me
that the country is not going to the
bowwows just because a presidential
election is drawing nigh. I was glad
to get home, for Fargo to me is the
best town in the country"

CROPS NEAR FARGO WERE
NEVER In BETTER SHAPE
Drive Through the Country New is One Of the Sights Of a Life
Time-Great Fields Bowling Undr Tremen-
douS Yields

great deal Of barley has been cut, but
contrary to expectations there was
virtually no one working in the fields,
az an inquiry revealed the fact that
most OF the people living in that Sec
ton Of Cass county are religious and
believe in the old doctrine Of six days

and the durum wheat was looking
splendid, while not a whit behind it
in appearance was the regular wheat,
all Of the fields looking clean and free
from weeds. The heads on all of the
grain this year are unusually large
and it is stated that the cool weather
that has been experienced for a few
days will add at least a bushel and a
half to every acre.
Two Show Farms.
A stop was made at the celebrated
Dynes farm out near Gardner. This
is one of the show farms of the dis
trict. There are about $50 acres In
the farm and it is all under a high
state Of cultivation, and managed I'M
der the scientific farming plan and is
sure to increase in value each year.
Another farm visited was that of
John +. Sherman, who has probably
1000 acres under cultivation. Mr..
Sherman used to live in Oregon where
he owned a fruit farm, but this he
traded to w. D. Hodgson, formerly of
Fargo and since then he has lived
here. Mr.. Sherman is a genius. He
has all manner OF machinery on his
place, and being something of an in
ventor he was rigging up a harvesting
machine which his big gasoline engine
could haul about in the harvest fields.
He, to, has a magnificent farm which
| he handles just about right and his
farm buildings are the finest in that
| section.
The oats are unusually heavy out
that way and ELECTED many favorable
comments from the man from the
east.

been several accidents already hap

wonder to me is that n hasn't been

One could see great fields of wheat,
green and waving in the wind, while
right besides it would be a great field
of barley, golden in color ready for
the harvest. Cats are just turning

there has been a great deal of this
grain sown out that way, and with
its pretty little blue flower, it made a
very pretty effect In contrast with the

fields Of buckwheat with it's white

see great big fields of corn, all looking

Dynes farm there are some exceeding

and other poultry appeared in album

From the hocks of turkeys all
along the road, which were ''ripening''
1t would appear that there will not be
much of a shortage when the Thanks

would rise and fly off into the fields
and the festive gopher would glide
away, while two or three ~cottontails
were seen to cross the roads and run
OF into the bushes. 1t was a most
pleasant trip, one that was most en-
joyable and to the man who has never
gone out into the country about
Fargo was a revelation and furnished
