conditions within the next month We
will harvest one of the largest crops
in the history of North Dakota. The
valley has long been famou for its
bountiful harvest. and this year spells
even a greater prospect than we have
ever had before. We nave had rain
i'll sufficient quantities in practically
every portion of the valley all of the

f"rcd in the least in any way, shape
or manner as cool weather has given
the opportunity for young plant de-
Nelopment. and the valley is one big
garden now. her beautiful green fields
stretching for miles and miles in all
directions as far as the eye can reach.
The farmers are all jubilant, and
the bankers, merchants and elevator
men, and in fact all the business men
wear that general smile of satisfac-
ton. The Golden valley is absolutely
the hest section in the western states.
When other places failed. the Golden
